The More the Merrier novel Chapter 718

Chapter 718 Precious Moments With Her Children

The five kids stopped fighting and dashed in together. “Come on, Mommy!” “Hurry up, Tim!” Arissa responded as she ran after them with the boy.

Benjamin also followed after them. As for Ethen, he volunteered to carry the shopping bags in. “Let me, Mr. Graham.” “I’m good,” Benjamin replied.

Since it was getting late, Arissa asked her six children to go upstairs to get ready for a shower. Before going up herself, she turned around and took over the shopping bags from Benjamin.

“It’s okay. You can go get busy. I’ll bathe the kids,” Arissa said.

Ethen obviously came to talk about business with Benjamin.

“Go check on them, Edwin,” Benjamin said to the butler.

“Right away, Mr. Graham,” Edwin said smilingly.

With everyone dismissed from his presence, Benjamin headed for his study, expecting his assistant to follow suit.

“What are you doing? Hurry up!” he reminded Ethen, who was still looking longingly in the direction of the children.

“Sure, Mr. Graham.”

Ethen went in after him and started filling him in on the progress of work.

Meanwhile, Arissa brought the children back to their room, and the kids started packing their schoolbags.

“I’ll sharpen the pencils for you, Tim,” she said gently as she helped him pack.

Arissa took the sharpener and clamped the pencil on it. “Mm? Why’s it not working?”

The children started giggling when they saw their mother having difficulty with the device.

“Mommy, you have to turn it manually. You didn’t buy the electric one,” Jesse pointed out.

Arissa felt awkward and replied smilingly, “What was I thinking? You know, back then, we didn’t even have anything fancy like this when we went to school.”

Edwin couldn’t help chuckling.

“Let me do it for you, Tim!” Oliver offered, taking one of Tim’s pencils.

Beside him, Arissa and Tim watched on intently.

“Oliver, do a few more for Tim,” Arissa said, giving more to him while she kept those that were already sharpened.

“No, I wanna do it on my own!” Tim exclaimed in excitement.

“All right. Oliver, let him have a try.”
