The More the Merrier novel Chapter 537

Chapter 537 Choked

“Go over there and eat with the children. Why are you dawdling for?” Benjamin asked.

He tugged at her arm, but she grabbed him. “I want to wait until Mdm. Mary comes out. Why are you in such a rush? You can just eat with the children.”

“Just let the nurses take care of her!” Benjamin turned around to instruct the nurses to take care of Mary before pulling Arissa out of the room.

Arissa side-eyed his handsome face. How aggressive. He just has to go his own way.

“Are you worried I’m hungry?” she asked.

Benjamin shot her a glance. “The children can’t eat in peace when you’re not around. They’re all waiting for you.”

Arissa could not believe his words. When she entered the lounge, she saw the six children sitting in the room, taking tiny bites out of the food. Even the glutton, Jesse, was licking her food. It was an amusing scene.

“Sweethearts, why are you eating like this?” Arissa asked.

“Mommy, you’re finally here! We’ve been waiting for you! Come and eat!” Jesse patted the seat beside her, beckoning Arissa to sit there.

Arissa smiled and walked over, sitting in between the children.

“Mommy, have this!” Gavin gave her an egg tart. It was still warm.

Arissa smiled and hummed in response. After taking a bite, she exclaimed, “It’s delicious! Sweethearts, try this, quick! It’s best eaten when it’s warm.”

“Okay!” the children answered, and they started digging in.

Arissa gazed at them. When she saw Tim looking reluctant to eat, she prompted, “Eat up, Tim. There’s still some more.”

Tim looked at her and nodded.

He found the pastry extremely delicious and fragrant.

“Tim, here’s another egg tart for you.” Jasper gave Tim another while taking one for himself. The former finished it with just a few bites. “It’s really yummy, Mommy. How many can each person have?”

Arissa cast Jasper a glance. “Count it. Just make sure you don’t eat it all.”

Jasper stuck his tongue out mischievously.

Arissa, too, took another one. Before Tim could even finish one, she had already eaten two.

“Sweethearts, eat faster. If not, I’m going to finish it all!” she urged.
