The More the Merrier novel Chapter 497

Benjamin swept his gaze over Tim. “We’ll talk when you’re done eating.”

Tim hesitated for a moment before he continued eating.

As Benjamin crossed his legs, he pinned his gaze on the little boy and scrutinized him.

Sensing the man’s gaze, Tim turned and looked over. The instant he met the man’s eyes, he lowered his head once more.

Benjamin then averted his gaze and toyed with his phone, wondering whether Arissa was asleep.

At the hotel, Arissa had just finished showering and was planning to tuck the children into bed when she heard Jesse’s stomach growling.

“Are you hungry?”

She pinched the little girl’s cheeks indulgently.

In response, Jesse nodded.

“Yup! I’m hungry, Mommy!”

“Wait for a while. I’ll order some food up!”

Arissa then phoned the suite’s housekeeper and ordered some food to be delivered to the room.

The five children were ecstatic, cheering, “Yay! We’re having supper!”

Initially, they were quite happy. Then, they remembered Tim at the hospital and felt a touch guilty.

“Tim doesn’t get to eat at the hospital,” Jasper lamented with a sigh.

“We can ask the bodyguards to send some food over!” Gavin suggested.

At the sight of the children’s concern for Tim, Arissa was very much gratified.

“Phone your daddy and have him buy some food nearby. That’ll be quicker. By the time the bodyguards arrive with food, Tim might have gone to bed.”

Hearing that, the five children exchanged glances. Zachary and the others didn’t want to make the call, so they all swung their gazes at Gavin.

Gavin eyed them before glancing at Arissa. “Why don’t you do it, Mommy?”

When we parted ways at the hospital, Daddy and Mommy kissed. Thus, if Mommy were to call Daddy now, not only would it improve their relationship, but Daddy would also agree undoubtedly.

He knew that Benjamin wasn’t in the habit of having supper, so the man might not necessarily buy supper for Tim if he were to make the call as he felt that it wasn’t healthy to eat before going to bed at night.

Arissa looked at the children and shook her head with a smile. “Okay, I’ll make the call, then!”

While saying that, she phoned Benjamin. The ringing tone didn’t even ring before the man’s voice drifted into her ears.

“Yes?”
