You More Than Anything In The World

Upon hearing the mention of a video call, Benjamin leaned closer, joining Arissa to watch their son on the screen.

At that time, the video call had not even connected. Arissa turned to look at him, only to have her attention drawn away by her son's voice.

"Mommy!" Jasper said excitedly, holding a phone with one hand while waving at Arissa with the other. Upon seeing Benjamin, he greeted in a soft, sweet voice, "Mr. Graham!"

Arissa looked at Jasper, her eyes sparkling with joy. "Where are your brothers and sister?" she asked.

"They're all here!" Jasper turned the camera around and immediately captured Gavin, Tim, Zachary, Oliver, and Jesse in the frame. The kids were in the vegetable garden, helping Mary water the plants, pull out weeds, and get rid of pests.

They were doing a great job. Darius, Ethen, Jack, and Bradley had also joined in, and they were all having a blast.

Not far away, it was misty, the scenery appearing and disappearing like a fairyland.

"Mommy, isn't it pretty?" Jasper asked Arissa once more with an expectant look, seeking praise.

Arissa smiled and nodded. "It is. Have you guys had breakfast yet? You're already here working so early?"

"We haven't eaten yet. We came here to pick vegetables for breakfast and thought we'd help Great-grandaunt water and weed the garden!" Jasper's voice rose a little, drawing the attention of the other kids.

They all rushed over. "Is it Mommy?"

They all rushed over. "Is it Mommy?"

The next moment, Gavin and the others appeared. They were overjoyed when they saw Arissa and Benjamin on the screen.

"Mommy, Daddy (Mr. Graham)!"

"Hey!" Arissa greeted back as she looked at them happily.

Benjamin also greeted them, but Arissa was the only one talking to the children while he merely listened beside her.

Benjamin's brows furrowed when he noticed the heavy fog there and the dew soaking the kids' trouser hems.

"The fog is so thick. Is it cold over there?" Benjamin interjected.

Upon hearing his words, Arissa also asked the children, "Sweethearts, are you cold? If you are, make sure to put on more clothes!"

"Mommy, it's not cold. It's just a bit chilly, but we're feeling warm from all the work we're doing!" Zachary quickly reassured her, not wanting her to worry.

"Better be careful. Look at you all. Your pant legs are all wet!" Benjamin knew the temperature there was relatively colder and was worried they might catch a cold.

"We'll be heading back soon!" Gavin replied loudly.

"Mr. Graham, we're all done now. We'll pack up and head back soon." Tim turned around and pointed in Darius' direction.

Mary was carrying a basket full of vegetables she had picked. Bradley hurried over to take it from her, ready to head back.

"Make sure to change your clothes as soon as you get home. Don't catch a cold!" Arissa reminded the children.

"It's not too cold over here. The temperature is just right. It's so comfortable!" Darius's voice rang out. It felt as if he was right beside the children.

"Dad, make sure you wear enough. Don't catch a cold!"

Arissa called out in that direction. Darius's head appeared within the frame, and he responded with a smile, "Don't worry. We're fine. You and Benjamin shouldn't worry about us too much at home!"

"Got it. Wherever you want to go and have fun, let Grandaunt take you there. Enjoy yourselves! But remember, safety first!"

"All right!" Darius responded, quickly stepping aside.

Mary leaned over and greeted the couple.

"I initially came over to pick some vegetables for breakfast, but they insisted on watering the plants. I'll take them back to change their clothes now!"

Arissa laughed and said, "Don't worry. They're having a great time. Get them to run errands for you if need be, Grandaunt. You all should head back now. Don't catch a cold. It's quite chilly out!" Okay!" Mary let out a sigh, quickly agreeing to lead them back.

The kids continued video chatting with Arissa, sharing the scenery with her as they walked.

"Mommy, this time, we found this place even more beautiful than last time. It's like a fairyland..."
