The More the Merrier novel Chapter 506

Arissa wished to accompany her son, but she knew he felt a little uncomfortable when she was around.

Thus, she decided to stay away for a bit or she might have the urge to feed him more food.

“Thank you, Ms. York!” Tim piped up gratefully.

“You’re welcome!”

Arissa fondly stroked Tim’s head before addressing Benjamin, “Sit with him while he takes his breakfast. I’m going to visit Mdm. Mary.”

Benjamin mumbled an acknowledgment of her words.

Meanwhile, Jesse declared, “I’ll sit with them while they eat breakfast, Mommy.”

As she spoke, she ran toward Tim and sat beside him, shooting him an eager stare.

Arissa smiled and said, “Don’t keep staring at your Tim, Jesse!”

“Oh!” Jesse looked away briefly before returning her stare to Tim.

Benjamin stared at the adorable girl and waved her over, calling out, “Jesse! Come and sit beside me.”

She glanced at her father before replying, “I like Tim. I want to sit with him.”

Her rejection rendered Benjamin speechless.

Meanwhile, Arissa stared at them one last time before she turned and left. She headed to the neighboring ward to check in on Mary.

Zachary, Oliver, Gavin, and Jasper greeted her at the same time, “Mommy!”

Arissa chastised, “Don’t be so loud. You’ll disturb Mdm. Mary. She’s not feeling well.”

“Nonsense! They’re not noisy at all. I feel much better with the children around. They liven up the room!” Mary immediately defended the children.

Smiling, Arissa replied, “You should get some rest, Mdm. Mary.”

Then, she poured the elderly woman a glass of water and added, “Keep yourself hydrated! You’re going for an ultrasound first.”

Mary nodded and drank the water.

Arissa then turned her attention to her children and asked, “Sweethearts, have you all seen Mr. Bailey?”

“Mr. Bailey just left!” Gavin continued, “Mommy, are you looking for him?”

She nodded and explained, “I’ll look for him and see if we can bring the check-up forward.”

“I’ll get him, Mommy!” Zachary offered and ran out the door.

He shouted, “Mr. Bailey! My mommy’s looking for you!”

Arissa was tickled by her son’s actions. Soon enough, Shaun strolled into Mary’s ward.
