The More the Merrier novel Chapter 648

Chapter 648 Why Was Jesse Here

As Tim stood next to Mary’s wheelchair and surveyed the place curiously, he was also similarly awed.

This place is truly huge! Gavin and the others showed me around downstairs just now, but we haven’t even finished covering the entire downstairs area. Even this room itself is larger than the room at our house. It has an attached bathroom and a balcony. It’s all so beautiful. In fact, it’s way prettier than the prettiest house in our village…

“Let’s eat first and unpack later,” Benjamin announced. Then, he instructed Edwin to serve lunch.

As Arissa pushed Mary’s wheelchair, she called out to the children, “Come on. Let’s have lunch first. It’s already noon! Quickly go and wash your hands before you eat, Sweethearts!”

“Come on, Tim! Let’s wash our hands before we eat!”

Since it was Tim’s first time at the house, Gavin pulled him along as he ran to wash his hands.

“Okay!” Tim hurried after him.

“Wait for us!”

Calling his younger siblings to follow him, Zachary and the other three quickly rushed to catch up.

As the adults trailed behind them to wash their hands before eating, they could not help smiling when they saw how happy the children looked.

Arissa personally led Mary to the bathroom and said, “Grandaunt, why don’t you use the bathroom?”

“Sure.”

Mary held Arissa’s hand to steady herself as she got to her feet, then said, “Give me my crutches. I’ll go in by myself.”

Arissa took the crutches from behind the wheelchair.

“Be careful,” she cautioned, watching Mary closely.

The older woman nodded in response.

Once Mary had used the bathroom and came back out, Arissa helped her to the sink to wash her hands.

“I can do it myself. You should go and use the bathroom too.”

“Okay,” Arissa replied with a smile. But just as she was about to enter the bathroom, Jesse ran in ahead of her.

“Mommy!”

Arissa gazed at her daughter with a smile on her lips. “Oh? Do you want to use the bathroom?”

“Yes! Yes!”

Jesse’s brows were knitted as she needed to use the bathroom badly.

“Did you forget to go earlier because you were too busy playing?” Arissa asked with a chuckle.
