You More than Anything in the World (Arissa)

Chapter 835

“Yes! I feel it!” Arissa nodded and opened up to Mary. “After all, he's not an easy man to woo. I thought he was just playing along to make me happy.”

Mary smiled. “Benjamin isn't a sweet talker. Instead, he shows his love through his actions.”

Arissa laughed and joked, “It seems like you know him very well, Grandaunt!”

Mary grinned from ear to ear and replied, “Well, it's just what I felt. If you were to spend your life with him, your feelings for him are important. When two people stay together, conflicts are bound to happen. As long as it's not an unforgivable mistake, neither of you should hold a grudge against the other. Instead, just have an argument and let it go!”

Arissa nodded. I'll remember Grandaunt's advice.

Right then, Benjamin and Shaun came in.

Shaun came by to check Mary's vitals. “Everything is stable, Mdm. Mary. Don't be afraid of the surgery, okay? We're all here with you,” he comforted Mary.

“Okay. Thank you, Dr. Bailey!” Mary uttered gratefully.

“You're welcome. As long as you're healthy, we'll be happy!” Shaun then prepared an IV drip for Mary.

Benjamin and Arissa were right beside Mary, keeping her company.

“Benjamin, Issa told me you guys got married. Congratulations!” Mary congratulated Benjamin.

While wearing a gentle expression, Benjamin nodded and answered, “Thank you, Grandaunt!”

“From now on, you guys have to live blissfully together, okay?” Mary urged.

“We will!” Benjamin nodded.

Shaun was stunned when he heard Mary congratulating Benjamin. His astonished gaze fell on the couple as he asked, “You guys got married?”

Arissa looked at him and smiled. “Yes!”

Benjamin, on the other hand, merely glanced at Shaun without saying a word.

Shaun was so shocked that his jaw dropped.

After a long while, he finally blurted, “When? Today?”

“Yes!” Arissa laughed.

“Oh, my goodness! That's fast! We were just at your house last night, no? Why didn't we hear anything about it?” Shaun was looking at Benjamin in bafflement. What a shocking piece of news! Benjamin had gotten married on the spur of the moment!

Though Benjamin was in high spirits, he responded flatly, “Well, now you know, right?”

“We just suddenly decided to get married!” Arissa smiled. One shouldn't overthink and drag things out when it comes to marriage.

Shaun laughed aloud. “Congratulations, Benjamin! Congratulations! Things have developed rather quickly between you guys! We were wondering how long we would have to wait to attend your wedding dinner!”

Shaun beamed brightly as he spoke. Did Benjamin get influenced by Aaron? He was exceedingly efficient! Although Aaron had already held his wedding dinner, I don't think he has registered for his marriage yet.

“Wedding dinner? Not so soon!” Benjamin uttered in a serious tone. That's something we need time to prepare for.

Hearing that, Arissa turned toward him, looking at him with puzzlement. What does he mean by that?

Benjamin met her gaze. “Well, we need time to prepare for that!”

Arissa felt gleeful deep down upon feeling his commitment toward her.

With a nod, she said, “Yes. We do.”
