You More than Anything in the World (Arissa)

Chapter 799

Benjamin rubbed Zachary's head lovingly and said, “You'll understand when you grow up!”

It was not uncommon for prominent families to have infighting among the family members over the inheritance. To make things worse, Bryan and Benjamin shared the same father but had different mothers.

Arissa looked at Benjamin with a hint of sympathy when she realized he wasn't having an easy time with his family members.

She was also worried for her kids, as those people were obviously going against Benjamin.

Benjamin checked to make sure the kids' blankets were in place, then said, “Sleep tight!”

“Sweet dreams!” Arissa added.

“Good night, Mommy. Good night, Daddy (Mr. Graham)!” the kids chorused.

“Good night, my sweethearts!” Arissa smiled and responded.

“Good night!” Benjamin also softly cooed.

Arissa leaned against the headboard and patted the kids' blankets in a gentle rhythm to help coax them to sleep.

Benjamin did the same on the other side of the bed.

After a while, the kids finally fell asleep.

“Let's go.” Benjamin tilted his head slightly and gestured for Arissa to leave the room.

He turned on a night light for the kids, and Arissa couldn't help but smile at his thoughtful gesture.

She quietly walked out of the room. Benjamin followed behind her, turning off the light and gently closing the door behind them.

“You've not taken your shower?' Benjamin looked at Arissa and asked.

“I'm going now.” She looked up and replied, then turned around to head to the room.



Benjamin caught up with her and asked, “Have you moved your things back in the room?”

Arissa gave him a side eye and said, “Edwin has already done that!”

“Good. You go to bed and don't wait up. I have some matters to attend to.” Benjamin ruffled her hair lovingly before heading down the stairs.

Arissa turned to him and blurted, “Don't stay up too late! Sleep early too!”

Benjamin nodded in return before walking off.

Arissa suddenly felt hot on her cheeks, and she quickly went for her shower.

Ethen and Jack were waiting for Benjamin when he came down the stairs.

“They've left, Mr. Graham.”

“Good!” Benjamin said as he headed to the study.

“They were so arrogant and unrepentant!” Jack fumed.

Benjamin wasn't surprised to hear that. If they had a conscience, they would not have bullied a young boy.

“Keep an eye on them!” Benjamin instructed solemnly.

“I've already sent someone to tail them,” Ethen replied.

Benjamin's eyes glinted in appreciation, and he told Ethen, “I'll restore one month of your bonus!”

“Thank you, Mr. Graham!” That was a pleasant surprise for Ethen, so he thanked Benjamin with a big smile.

Mr. Graham actually restored a month of bonus for me! Seems like he's in a good mood! Keep it up, and I'm sure I'll soon get all my deducted bonuses back!

Ethen was still beaming from ear to ear when Benjamin asked, “Any other matters?”

He immediately reported, “Justin met up with Ms. Adams, Mr. Graham.”



“Oh? Any idea what they talked about?” Benjamin asked as he fiddled with his pen, his face betraying no emotions.

“Ms. Adams wanted Justin to deal with Mrs. Graham,” Ethen replied.

Benjamin narrowed his eyes and said darkly, “Keep an eye on him. If he dares to do anything funny, teach him a lesson!”

“Noted!” Ethen answered immediately.

Benjamin eyed him suspiciously and said, “You seem to be very zealous when it comes to matters concerning Arissa...”

“I'm doing it for you, Mr. Graham. I know you care about Mrs. Graham and would never allow any harm to befall her.” Ethen was watching Benjamin closely when he said that, worried he might offend his boss and lose his bonus again.

“Nonsense!” Benjamin chided, but there was no anger in his tone.

Ethen breathed a sigh of relief and proclaimed, “I'll definitely see to Ms. York's safety and make the necessary security arrangements!”

Benjamin gave him a dirty look, then turned to Jack and instructed, “Keep an eye on Justin!”

“Yes, Mr. Graham.” Jack nodded and obliged.

“That's all then. You can leave now.” Benjamin waved them off.

Ethen and Jack gave each other a knowing look, then happily replied, “Yes, Mr. Graham. You have an early night!”

Benjamin watched as they turned to head out. A glint appeared in his eyes when he remembered Arissa had also asked him to have an early night.

He immediately marched out of the study.
