The More the Merrier novel Chapter 705

Chapter 705 Be In Control Of The Finances

The six kids were standing around the hospital bed and chatting with Mary by the time she returned. Arissa decided to sit down and join them when she saw how happy Mary looked.

“I need to take a nap, and the kids have been keeping me company all day at the hospital. You should all go get some rest, Issa,” Mary said.

Arissa flashed her a smile. “You can go ahead and take a nap, Grandaunt. I’ll wait till you fall asleep before I leave with the kids. Would you like to use the bathroom beforehand?”

“Yes, I do,” Mary replied as she climbed out of bed.

Arissa quickly reached out to hold her steady, but Mary gently brushed her hands off and said with a chuckle, “I can walk on my own now, Arissa. If you keep holding on to me like this, I might end up forgetting how to walk.”

“All right. Watch your step, Grandaunt,” Arissa replied and stepped to the side.

The six kids then helped make the bed while she was in the bathroom.

“Do you feel cold, Grandaunt?” Arissa asked as she gently tucked Mary in afterward.

“No, it’s just right. Make sure to get some rest later, okay?” Mary replied.

The six kids nodded in unison. “Okay!”

Arissa waited until Mary had fallen asleep before bringing them to Benjamin’s office.

Although Benjamin rarely used the office, he had someone clean it on a daily basis. As such, the air inside wasn’t musty at all.

“Mrs. Graham, you and the kids can take a nap in here. I’ll be right outside, so just call out to me if you need anything,” Edwin said after adjusting the temperature.

“There’s a couch here, Edwin. How about you lay down for a bit? Or would you prefer to rest at home instead?” Arissa asked when she saw him leaving.

“I’ll be heading back at three in the afternoon, so I guess I’ll be taking the couch,” Edwin replied with a smile.

“I’ll fetch you a blanket, then,” Arissa said as she brought the kids into the office.

The lounge looked rather simple with only a bed and a wardrobe.

Even so, it was really comfortable due to its spaciousness and warm atmosphere.

“All right, it’s time for you kids to go pee. We’ll all be taking a nap here today!”

Arissa then brought Edwin a blanket before returning to the lounge.
