The More the Merrier novel Chapter 729

Chapter 729 Swooning Over The Children

“I have some clothes in the car. I’ll just change into them,” Kingsley said, feeling hurt. Benjamin snorted coldly while Arissa carried the children to the car’s backseat.

After stowing away the children’s schoolbags, Benjamin helped her with getting the kids into the car. Then, he put on their seatbelts. “Go and sit in front,” he said to Arissa, making sure to check that the children were seated properly before closing the car door.

Arissa turned to him and asked, “You’re driving?”

“Do you want to drive?” Benjamin raised his eyebrows with a hint of a devilish look in his eyes. “I don’t mind,” Arissa replied eagerly.

“You’ll sit in the front passenger seat.”

With that, he opened the door to the front passenger seat and motioned for her to get in.

Arissa pursed her lips, then bent down and climbed into the car.

When she saw him moving to put on the seatbelt for her, she quickly grabbed it and buckled it herself.

Benjamin paused for a moment. Then, seeing that she had turned to talk to the children, he shut the door and went to the driver’s seat.

“Is everyone in their seats? I’m going to start driving now.”

All six children glanced at him and chorused in unison, “Yes!”

They were very excited, since Benjamin seldom drove, and every now and then, they would sneak a peek at him.

Benjamin caught sight of it through the rearview mirror, and his usually unsmiling lips curved slightly upward.

Arissa also smiled when she saw them peeking at him.

“What’s so funny?” Benjamin asked, casting her a quick look.

Arissa was in high spirits and answered happily, “Oh, nothing!”

His smile grew wider. “Did you bring the things for Grandaunt?”

“Yes. I brought everything,” she answered with a nod.

With Edwin in charge of preparing the things, I don’t have to worry about a thing. Everything was placed in the car in advance.

After murmuring an acknowledgment, Benjamin shifted his focus back to driving.

Arissa gazed at him for a while, then leaned back in her seat to rest.

The weather was exceptionally fair that day, and they drove out of Yaleview as the sun rose in the east.

Arissa happened to look at the rearview mirror and spotted a car behind them. “I think Mr. Watts is behind us,” she told Benjamin.

“Yes,” Benjamin answered flatly.
