The More the Merrier novel Chapter 1049

Chapter 1049 That Was Quick

Benjamin's eyes twinkled. He addressed the children in a gentler voice.

“Your mother is pregnant, and she's a little frail. Watch your volume when you're around her, all right?”

The children bobbed their heads. “Got it!”

Benjamin caressed their heads in turn, and they arrived at an unspoken and reconciliatory agreement.

As he led them up the stairs, the children exchanged glances before turning as one to face Gavin, who gazed up at Benjamin. “Why don't you keep Mommy company, Daddy? We'll go home ourselves.”

Benjamin returned Gavin's gaze. “I'm bringing you home as I still have to pack.”

“Oh,” the boy answered.

Benjamin led them into the elevator. “Come on. We should be getting home.”

The children trotted after him. The chauffeur was already waiting at the entrance when they arrived.

Benjamin ushered them into the car before urging the driver to hurry home.

Meanwhile, Arissa picked up her phone to give Bradley a call. The cacophony of noise on the other end sounded as if he was driving.

“Hey, Boss!”

Arissa smiled. “Gavin said you're coming back. Where are you?”

“I just passed the toll and would be in the city in ten minutes,” came Bradley's voice, accompanied by the sound of a horn blaring.

“Rest well when you get back. I won't keep you any longer. Drive safe!”

Arissa did not say much else to Bradley so he could focus on driving.

“All right, then. I'll drop by soon. I brought gifts for Gavin and the rest.”

Arissa chuckled. “No problem. They're home, so just head on over there. Have Edwin make you something if you're hungry.”

“Aren't you at home, Boss?” Bradley asked curiously upon noticing the clue in her words.

“That's right. I'm not. The children are, though. You can go on over. Spend the night and hang out with them.”

Arissa thought it was a good idea for Bradley to spend time with the children.

“Where did you go, Boss? Aren't you going to be home tonight?” Bradley asked glumly.
