You More than Anything in the World (Arissa)

Chapter 510

Arissa nodded as she ruffled Tim's head.

“Don't worry, Sweetheart. Your grandma is just getting some checks done.”

Tim nodded obediently.

“Thank you for accompanying Grandma.”

“You're welcome.”

Arissa answered with a smile, “Mary is your family, which means she's also my family. Let's accompany her together.”

She gently caressed Tim's face lovingly.

Tim blinked his eyes as warmth spread through him.

“I'll carry you, okay?”

Arissa saw Benjamin had been carrying Tim and wanted to carry him for a change. I didn't get to carry him at all.

Tim lowered his head as a response, and Arissa's heart sank with it.

However, Tim nodded his approval a few minutes later.

Arissa's mood brightened again with excitement.

She immediately retrieved Tim from Benjamin's embrace with glee.

“Sweetheart, I've been wanting to carry you for a while now.”

Throwing any concern out the window, Arissa planted a few kisses on Tim's cheeks.

“Sweetheart, I finally get to carry you.”

Tim shrank into her embrace as he was not used to anyone being so close to him, especially his long-lost family.

However, Arissa's kisses didn't repulse him; instead, they made him feel warm.

“Control yourself. Don't scare him.”

Benjamin was carrying Jesse when he reminded Arissa.

Arissa shot Benjamin a glance, then continued pecking Tim's face.

With a few kisses on the left cheek and another few on the right, everyone could see how much Arissa adored Tim.

Gavin, Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper laughed, watching their mom's antics.

“Mommy, you're going to scare him,” Zachary reminded Arissa to restrain herself.

“Tim is braver than that, am I right?” Arissa asked Tim as she caressed his face.

Her gaze was trained on Tim's blushing cheeks.

He's too dark. I need to make him fairer.

Tim ducked his head with shyness and stayed stiff. Their concern and Arissa's adoration moved him.

Ms. York's embrace is different from Mr. Graham's. She smells nice and warm.

The warmth Tim felt spread all over his body, feeling the closeness intensified.

Arissa adoringly pinched Tim's cheeks. “Have you eaten, Sweetheart?”

Tim nodded shyly. “Yes, I have.”

Arissa flashed him a gentle smile. “That's good.”

She continued to carry him and studied him with glee in her eyes, unwilling to part with him.

“Ms. York, can you put me down?”

Tim was worried he would be too heavy and Arissa's arms would hurt from carrying him.

“Ah, Oh!”

Arissa snapped out of her action and begrudgingly let Tim down.

“Mr. Graham, I want to go down too.”

Benjamin bent down and let Jesse get down on the ground at her request.

Jesse instantly ran toward Tim, grabbed his hand, and showed him off to her four brothers.

“Tim told me he liked me earlier when I was up there.”

“Really?”

Jasper was surprised and drew closer to them. Looking at Tim, he asked, “Do you like me, Tim?”

Tim focused his gaze on Jasper and nodded.
