The More the Merrier novel Chapter 359

Chapter 359 Do Not Touch My Mommy

Benjamin was awoken by the noise made by the kids when they ran into the room.

He looked at the little ones sleepily while touching Arissa’s forehead and felt relieved after making sure that her body temperature was normal.

“You’re not allowed to touch my mommy!” Zachary bellowed in an imposing manner with his brows furrowed.

“You’re so shameless! How can you touch Mommy!” Gavin gritted his teeth and scolded.

Faced with the angry stares of the five little ones, Benjamin chided, “Stop hollering. Your mommy is sick!”

At once, the children went closer to the bed with worried expressions on their faces.

“What happened to Mommy?”

“She had a fever last night. Keep your voice down,” Benjamin reminded the kids before turning around and lying on his back, massaging his temples.

As he did not sleep well, the man was in a rather bad mood. If it was someone else instead of the kids, he would have flared up long ago.

“Mommy looks really pale!” Gavin commented after observing Arissa’s face while touching her forehead carefully.

“Gavin, here’s the thermometer!” Jasper said while passing the thermometer to his brother.

“Gavin, quickly check if Mommy still has a fever,” Zachary continued with his brows still tightly knitted.

After checking Arissa’s temperature, Gavin announced, “Her temperature is normal now. There’s no more fever!”

Only then did the five little ones heave a sigh of relief.

“Since Mommy is still sleeping, shall we go out first?” Oliver suggested.

Jesse sneaked a glance at Benjamin and said softly, “But I want to stay with Mommy!”

“Let’s stay here then!” Zachary decided, with his younger brothers and sister nodding fervently in agreement.

Gavin did not raise any objections as well but reminded the rest of the kids, “Let’s sit over there so that we don’t disturb Mommy.”

His siblings nodded in response before all of them headed over to the side of the room.

Benjamin did not fall back to sleep, keeping his eyes open.

When he glanced over at the children, he saw that they were all looking at him.

Reading the displeasure in their eyes, the man cocked his brows and sat up.

“Have you guys washed up?”

When Jesse yawned, Benjamin could not help but notice how much the girl resembled Arissa, and his gaze softened.
