The More the Merrier novel Chapter 195

Chapter 195 The Kid From The Hill

Benjamin’s pulling out all the stops now. Looks like he’s determined to find us.

Suddenly, Arissa had a thought. Why don’t I just hand them over myself?

Danna might have been apprehended, but it would take some time to determine whether she would be put behind bars.

If Benjamin could somehow influence the court’s decision, Danna would face the consequences of her crimes.

After all, the children are me. Danna couldn’t take them away from me.

Now that the woman had been exposed, Arissa felt it was a smart deal to return Gavin to Benjamin.

The bounty was one thing. Whether they take it or not was another.

Nevertheless, Arissa began to form plans in her mind. She was certain that Benjamin would not be able to locate them easily.

After they were done with breakfast, Arissa took the children for a stroll.

The children noticed a clear stream up ahead and got excited. They rolled up their pants and went there to catch fishes, shrimps, and even snails.

“Be careful!”

Arissa sat by the riverbank and watched them play. Fortunately, the stream was fairly shallow. Aside from some slippery pebbles on the river bed, it was perfectly safe for the children to play in.

“Aren’t you coming down, Mommy?” Jasper shouted happily as he played with the snails he caught.

“I’ll come down when you’re tired!”

“Are you kidding? We won’t tire that easily!”

Jesse laughed aloud. “Mommy, I caught a shrimp! It’s so tiny!”

“Come down and play with us, Mommy!” Oliver called out to Arissa.

“Come help us catch some fish, Mommy! We haven’t gotten any luck with them!”

Zachary summoned his siblings to come over, but the fishes in the stream easily evaded capture.

“The water’s cool and refreshing, Mommy! Come take a dip!”

Unfortunately, Gavin stumbled and slipped as he waded through the stream. His clothes were soaking wet.

Seeing her children having fun, Arissa could not resist joining in. She removed her shoes and rolled up her pants before wading through the cold water to join them.

Eventually, all of them gave up fishing and started a water fight among themselves.

Not far away, a young boy spotted the family from his spot on a hill. He envied them.
