You More than Anything in the World (Arissa)

Chapter 882

“She said she wanted to snatch Mr. Graham away, and she also bullied Mommy in the bathroom!” Jesse complained to Darius.

Darius was infuriated. “That's out of line! Issa, how did she bully you? Did you get hurt?”

Arissa was touched by his concern. She shook her head and answered, “I didn't get hurt, Dad. Don't worry. She tried to provoke me with words, but I didn't fall for it!”

Darius nodded. “That's good. Issa, what happened between her and Benjamin is history. Don't be upset by it, okay? From now on, you guys are going to spend the rest of your lives together. Be nice to each other, and don't believe anything others say. You have to always remember who you are. You're Mrs. Graham. If someone bullies you, you ought to fight back. Even if Benjamin doesn't care about you, I'll have your back! You're the Graham family's daughter-in-law. No one is allowed to bully you!”

Arissa felt warm and fuzzy inside to hear that.

Delighted, she answered, “Okay, Dad!”

Darius nodded in response.

“What history?” Benjamin glared at Darius. “I don't have a history with her.”

“Is that so? In that case, why did you talk to me that way back then?” Darius scoffed.

“Well, you angered me.” Benjamin snorted lightly and added, “Also, what do you mean when you say I don't care? Since when have I not cared?”

Darius shot him a look and argued, “I said 'if,' didn't I? I'm warning you. If you ever dare to bully Issa, I'll come for your head!”

Benjamin frowned and kept mum.

Benjamin frowned and kept mum.

Right then, Arissa tugged on the corner of his shirt, signaling him to stop arguing with Darius.

“I hear you!” Benjamin responded.

Darius nodded in satisfaction. He then urged Arissa, “If he ever bullies you, you must tell me!”

“Got it, Dad!” Arissa was overjoyed because Darius truly cared about her.

Kingsley and the others were observing the interaction, and they couldn't help poking fun at Benjamin.

“Boss, it seems like your ranking at home has dropped.”

Hearing that, Benjamin swept a glance at them.

Kingsley then saw Edwin walking by, so he instructed, “Edwin, prepare some food and alcohol. Later, we're going to drink with our boss till we drop!”

“Sure!” Edwin responded with a smile.

“Old Mr. Graham, regarding what you told me to do, I've already made the preparations,” Edwin reported.

Darius smiled and nodded. “That's good!”

“What preparations?” Arissa asked curiously.

“It's nothing!” Darius laughed.

Arissa looked at Darius. Seeing that he wasn't willing to reveal anything, she didn't ask further.

“Dad, why don't you stay the night?” she asked.

Darius' eyes lit up instantly. “Sure! I haven't spent enough time with Gavin and the others.” He was over the moon as he wrapped his arms around the children.

“Grandpa, does this mean you'll be telling us a bedtime story?” Jasper blinked and asked.

“Yes!” Darius answered gleefully.

“Hehe! Tim, we'll get to listen to Grandpa's stories again!” Jasper aimed a grin at Tim.
