The More the Merrier novel Chapter 703

Chapter 703 Clean Up Your Mess Yourself

“All I did was make a promise. It doesn’t necessarily mean I’m going to marry your daddy.” “Really?” the kids asked.

“Really. I’m not that stupid,” Arissa reassured them. While the kids were happy with what she said, Darius wasn’t all that pleased about it.

“Issa, were you lying to me?”

Arissa blinked nervously at him. “Old Mr. Graham, I…”

Darius pursed his lips. “You don’t have to explain it. I know you were only saying it to make me feel better. Honestly, I can’t believe how useless Benjamin is! It’s been so long, and he still can’t win you over! He may not take this seriously, but it’s making me very anxious! I might end up dying without seeing him get married!”

Tears started flowing down Darius’ cheeks after he said that, much to Arissa and the six kids’ surprise.

Mary felt moved by his emotions and teared up as well.

“I’m sorry, Old Mr. Graham! I shouldn’t have upset you by saying such things!” Arissa said apologetically.

She felt guilty for letting her emotions get the better of her.

“You are not to blame. It’s Benjamin’s loss for not marrying you. I just don’t know how I’d answer to his mother when I see her in the afterlife,” Darius replied while his tears continued to fall.

“Please don’t cry, Old Mr. Graham!”

As Arissa had little to no success consoling him, she could only turn to the two butlers for help.

Edwin and William tried their best to console Darius but failed all the same.

“Don’t be upset, Grandpa,” Tim said as he came over and held Darius’ hand.

However, that only seemed to worsen things as his face reminded Darius of Benjamin.

“Oh, Benjamin… It’s all my fault! Will you please forgive me?” Darius wailed and cried even harder.

Arissa glanced at the two butlers, only to see them shake their heads helplessly in response.

“Old Mr. Graham, I’m not saying I won’t marry Benjamin. I will marry him eventually if he truly likes me and treats my kids right,” Arissa explained, but Darius was too upset to listen.
