The More the Merrier novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14 She Tried To Pinch Me

Arissa was pleased to see her children defending her when mistreated and showering her with care at a time like this.

“Okay! It’s okay. I’ll just look for another job!” She wore a smile to set their minds at ease.

Zachary grabbed her hand. “Mommy, don’t worry. We’ll take care of you!”

Arissa was utterly moved by Zachary’s words. She gave him a warm embrace before patting his head. “There’s no need for you to do that. I’ll take care of you!”

It’s the thought that counts. Of course, I won’t let them bear the burden of living. It’s still too early for them to take on such a heavy responsibility at this young age.

“Mommy, I can make lots of money after selling another program!” Oliver assured confidently.

“Mommy! Don’t forget about me! I can earn a lot of money by modeling too!” Jesse hugged Arissa tightly. She also wished to help out.

“Mommy, I have some money too. I can take care of you!” Gavin raised his thought without hesitation, hoping that Arissa could worry less about getting a job.

Moved by their acts, Arissa held them closer in her arms.

“Thank you for your kind thoughts. I’ve got this covered. So, you can keep the money for yourselves. Oliver, you should stop writing those programs.”

It took a lot of effort to do programming; she definitely did not want her child overworking himself.

Oliver ducked his head timidly after getting warned. Letting out a chuckle, he replied, “All right. Mommy!”

“Jesse, you’re not allowed to accept modeling jobs without my permission!” Arissa caressed Jesse’s head.

After all, it was not easy money. The children probably had to work harder than the adults, as they had to undergo training constantly.

“Mommy, anything you say!” Jesse’s lips curled into a bright smile. Her missing front teeth made her look rather endearing.

Gavin cast his gaze upon Jesse, who looked fairer and more delicate than the rest.

He has the same dimples as Mommy when he smiles. The more I look at him, the more he looks like a girl to me. How good it would be if he were a girl and were my sister.

Jesse caught sight of his attentive gaze and returned with a smile.

Gavin cracked a smile as he patted her head. “Jesse’s so cute!”

Arissa looked at Jesse, and she thought the same too.

Jesse had been raised as a little boy ever since she was born. Her hair was short, and she wore the same outfit as her brothers. Hence, everyone would easily see her as a boy.

Arissa took Jesse in her arms and kissed her cheek. Jesse was so happy that she could not stop giggling.

“My baby is so adorable! Let me kiss you!” Arissa was laughing as she played with Jesse.

“Hehe! Mommy, that tickles!” Jesse ducked her head in, and she was beaming with joy.

The other three chuckled at the scene too.

Meanwhile, Zachary went to sit at a corner and texted Jasper: Mommy didn’t get hired by Benjamin.

Jasper could not help but scowl at the text message. Benjamin didn’t hire Mommy?

His anger spiked after knowing that Arissa was kicked out by Danna.

“That’s horrible!” Losing his rag, he threw the book in his hands.

Edwin was dumbfounded by the former’s action.

Did someone mess with him? Edwin went over to calm him down. “Gavin, what’s wrong?”

Jasper glanced at Edwin and pondered for a brief moment. Only Benjamin and I are staying in this place, and Danna’s not here. I’m eager to ask Edwin about Benjamin’s relationship with Danna.
