The More the Merrier novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148 She Just Wanted To Hug Her Son

Arissa suppressed her wavering heartbeats and replied as calmly as possible, “Bone broth!”

He’s still growing, so having more of this is good for his growth.

The children had their lunches in school, so she could only pour more effort into their breakfasts and dinners.

“Bone broth for breakfast?”

Benjamin lifted his brow as he asked. The smell was delicious, but he was unsure whether the aroma was from the broth.

Arissa countered, “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! A balanced diet is crucial!”

Regardless, Benjamin often skipped breakfast. He did not care for it much, just as long as it got the job done.

He only had breakfast to keep Gavin company, so he never gave it much thought.

Edwin was the one who pulled out all the stops for Gavin’s breakfasts.

“When will it be done?”

He meant that he was hungry and wanted to eat already.

Arissa answered without much thought, “It’ll take a while.”

As Benjamin left the kitchen, she let out a sigh of relief and carried on cooking.

Once she was done, she asked Edwin for a food container to pack the food in.

Edwin asked with a puzzled expression, “Ms. York, are you not having it here?”

“This is for Gavin to have at lunch!”

Arissa answered naturally, but she couldn’t help but feel a little awkward.

She was unsure what Edwin would think of her if he knew she was packing the broth for her other children.

Nonetheless, it did not seem excessive to pack them some food since they were Benjamin’s children too.

“That’s a lot. I doubt Gavin can finish it all!”

Edwin took a look and saw that Arissa had already packed half the broth.

“It’s okay. He can have it when he’s hungry. Having several meals a day is good for his growth,” said Arissa casually.

Edwin was moved. “You truly dote on Gavin, Ms. York.”

She smiled in response but did not say anything. After setting the packed food aside, she went upstairs to wake Gavin.

However, he was already awake and washing up.

“Sweetheart, you’re up!”

Arissa walked in to see her son in front of the bathroom sink. She walked over and affectionately combed his hair out of his face with her hands.

“Good morning, Mommy!” Gavin greeted her with a smile as radiant as the sun.
