The More the Merrier novel Chapter 349

Chapter 349 Looks Of Disapproval

Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse nodded simultaneously. “We’ve finished ours!”

Suppressing a chuckle, Arissa asked curiously, “Gavin, why haven’t you finished yours? Did you not eat them?”

“No, Mommy. I was eating fruits at that time, so I didn’t eat the candies. If I ate them, the fruits wouldn’t taste sweet anymore!” Gavin explained.

Zachary tittered and whispered in his mother’s ear, “Mommy, it’s because he ate so slowly. We had all finished our fruits, but he was still eating his one small bite at a time!”

Arissa could not help but smile.

Gavin was the slowest eater among the five kids, even slower than Jesse.

She cast a glance at Benjamin, who was driving. Gavin must have picked it up from him. He’s also a slow eater.

Gavin blushed as he lowered his head and explained, “I wasn’t that slow. You guys were too fast.”

His siblings laughed, making his face turn even redder.

Arissa chuckled, thinking that her son looked adorable.

After clearing her throat, she said to the other four kids, “All right. Cut it out. There’s nothing funny about it. Everyone has their own pace in eating!”

“Mommy, you were laughing too!” Oliver’s eyes crinkled from smiling as he exposed her.

“Yes, I saw Mommy laughing too. She laughed like this!” Jesse imitated the way Arissa was laughing, tugging the corner of her lips upward.

That evoked a peal of laughter from Zachary and Jasper, whose eyes flickered between Gavin and Arissa.

“Gavin, Mommy was laughing at you!”

Gavin looked at them, blushing. “Laugh as much as you want!”

I do eat slowly, after all.

“All right. Sit properly now!” Arissa cut them off to spare Gavin’s blushes.

The kids stop laughing immediately, pursing their lips together. By then, their drowsiness had disappeared.
