The More the Merrier novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136 Mommy Should Tell The Truth

As Gavin ran up the stairs, he looked adorable with his bag swinging behind him.

Arissa broke into a smile. The radiance of her motherly love was evident on her face.

“Slow down! Slow down! You might trip!” She hurried toward her child.

In return, Gavin wrapped his arms around her leg and shouted merrily, “Mommy!”

“Hey!” Arissa picked him up and pinched his little face. “Why are you so late?”

Gavin looked at her and smiled. “I was playing with my classmate at his house.”

Arissa chuckled before she whispered, “Your daddy knows that you were at my house.”

Hearing that, Gavin stole a glance at Benjamin.

The latter was standing in the living room, looking at the mother and son, his expression impossible to read.

Arissa looked at him before carrying Gavin upstairs.

“Gavin, have you had your dinner?”

“Yes. We had plenty of delicious food,” Gavin answered softly.

Arissa listened to him with much interest as she carried him to the child’s room before letting him down.

Then, she put his bag aside and stroked his hair.

“Do you want me to bathe you?”

“Mommy, I can bathe myself!” Gavin replied shyly.

Looking at his cute face, Arissa smiled and pinched his nose. “All right. You bathe yourself, and I’m going to shower too.”

He nodded and exclaimed, “Mommy, are you really staying here?”
