You More than Anything in the World (Arissa)

Arissa was dumbfounded. “Sweethearts, why did you guys lock the door?”

Are they hiding away to play games? “Hey, open the door at once!” Arissa ordered.

Inside the room, the kids looked at each other in response. Zachary quickly turned off his laptop and told the others to open the door.

Jesse diligently ran toward the door and opened it. She poked her head out and greeted, “Hi, Mommy!”

When Arissa saw Jesse beaming, she gently tapped her forehead and asked, “Did you guys lock the door to do something naughty?”

Jesse shook her head. “No! We were just changing.” She looked extremely innocent as she blinked her eyes at her mother. In fact, she could be very persuasive when needed.

Arissa picked her up and walked into the room. Indeed, the boys were halfway getting changed.

“Why are you guys only changing now?” Arissa’s gaze swept across the room. Didn’t they get back from school a while ago?

“Mommy, we were playing around just now. Only now do we have the time to change!” Jasper chuckled joyfully and got changed swiftly.

Arissa flashed a smile and didn’t think too much about it. She then took a set of clothes and helped Jesse get changed.

She was wearing the same clothes as her brothers.
