The More the Merrier novel Chapter 502

“Can you check if the three other sleepyheads are awake?” Arissa instructed the two boys.

“Sure!”

After Zachary and Gavin grunted in acknowledgment, they went to check if their other three siblings were up.

Jesse was usually the one who liked to sleep in the most. But that morning, she got up and washed her face quicker than her other two brothers when she heard that they were going to the hospital to visit Tim.

After serving six bowls of oatmeal porridge, Arissa packed a few more before calling the children for breakfast.

“Come and have your breakfast quickly. After that, we’ll be heading to the hospital.”

“Mmm-hmm!”

The five children took their seats obediently and started digging in.

Given the scrumptious breakfast spread she had prepared, Arissa was delighted to see the children enjoy every bit of it.

“Mommy, you should finish up quickly too!”

Gavin was curious when he saw her standing there and watching them eat instead.

“You guys can go ahead. I’m waiting for the butler to bring up some breakfast. He should be arriving anytime now.”

Arissa peeked outside to take a look.

“Mommy, you can eat while you wait!” Zachary called out.

“Mmm-hmm!” Arissa took her seat and began to serve the children.

“Slow down, there’s no need to hurry!”

Giggling at the same time, the children teased her, “Mommy, just a second ago, you were telling us to hurry up!”

“Why do you have to pick on me?” Arissa retorted with a smile.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Oliver got to his feet. “I’ll get it!”

Arissa beamed as she allowed him to do so.

It was the butler delivering breakfast. One portion was packed to go while the other was served on a platter that contained a smorgasbord of exquisite-looking food.

“Mrs. Graham, kids, please enjoy!” the butler greeted with a bow before leaving.
