Chapter 795 Family Photo
“What’s wrong with this frame?” Arissa complained, frowning at the frame in her hand.
She had been trying to snap it shut for the past few minutes.
“Let me see,” Benjamin said.
He took the frame from her hand and fiddled with it. The frame snapped shut with a soft click.
“Wow, Mr. Graham! You’re amazing!” Jasper cheered.
The other children turned to look at Benjamin. Their faces were bright with wonder.
Pride bloomed in Benjamin’s chest.
It is the greatest joy to be complimented by children who are known for their naïve honesty.
Arissa laughed. “Graham is amazing indeed! I couldn’t do it even after trying for so long!”
Benjamin’s eyes flickered. He leaned closer to Arissa and whispered into her ear, “I’ve got more tricks up my
sleeve!”
His lips were close enough to brush her cheek, and his warm breath tickled her ear.
Arissa’s face turned pink. He’s teasing me! Oh, kill me!
She glanced sideways at him and quickly looked away again when her eyes met his fiery gaze.
Benjamin smirked.

The six children each hugged the frames, holding their certificates and artwork to their chests.
“Come on, Sweethearts! Strike a pose! Mommy wants to take a picture of all of you together!”
“Wait, Mommy! I’m not posing properly yet!”
“Mommy, should we hold the frames in front of us?”
The children were bouncing about excitedly. Arissa nodded and said, “Yes, hold the frames out in front of you!”
Once the children had all settled into a pose, she snapped a few pictures. “How handsome!”
The children beamed happily.
“Mommy, come here! Let’s take a picture with you. Daddy can help us snap the picture!” Gavin waved Arissa over
to where they were standing.
Arissa hurried over to the kids. She stood behind them and wrapped her arms around them.
“Help us take a picture, Graham!”
Benjamin snapped a few pictures of Arissa and her children. He scratched his nose self-consciously and walked over
to join them.
“Help me take one with the children, too!” He handed his phone to Arissa.
Arissa smiled and snapped a few pictures of Benjamin and the children.
“Mommy, let’s take a picture together with Daddy!”
Arissa saw her son’s pleading face and walked over to them.
“Ethen, come over here for a minute!” Benjamin called out.
Ethan hurried over to them. “Yes, Mr. Graham!”
“Help us take a picture!” Benjamin grabbed Arissa’s phone and handed it to Ethen.
Ethen moved back so that he could fit all of them into the frame.
Benjamin wrapped one arm around Arissa and placed the other on Jesse’s shoulder.
“Ready?” Ethen looked at the happy family posing before him.
Joy flooded his heart.
“Yes!” shouted the children in unison.
Arissa nodded. “We’re ready!”
“Ready!” Benjamin said.
“I’m taking the picture now!” Ethen said, snapping a few more shots of the family.
“Show me the picture!”
Zachary ran over to Ethen and tugged at his hand.
The other children followed close behind.
Ethen knelt down. The children crowded around him as he showed them the photos that he had just taken.
“This is a bad picture! Zachary’s eyes were closed!”

“I look so handsome!”
Hearing the delight and pride in the children’s voices, Arissa was amused.
She called out, “Okay, stop admiring yourselves! Let’s go hang up these frames!”
The children quickly abandoned Ethen and ran over to Arissa with their frames.
Arissa and Benjamin led the way.
“Let me do it!”
Benjamin was a tall man. It would be easy for him to hang the frames up at a good height. Ethen hurried over to
them with a hammer and nails. Arissa took the frames from the children and handed them over to Benjamin.
Edwin and Jack came over as well to lend Benjamin a hand.
Benjamin arranged and hung up the children’s certificates first before hanging their artwork.
It was a beautifully arranged display.
Arissa was surprised by Benjamin’s creative eye.
If she had been the one to arrange the frames, they would all have been hung in one straight row.
The children applauded with joy as the wall display began to come together.
“So beautiful!”
