The More the Merrier novel Chapter 732

Chapter 732 Placed Her Hand On His Chest

Giggling, Zachary teased, “Mommy, we’re only going to school. We’ll see each other again in the afternoon after school. If you miss us, just give us a call. We’ll answer your call.”

Feeling embarrassed at getting teased, Arissa waved at them. “Bye, then!” “Bye, Mommy!”

“Bye, Ms. York!” The children waved back with a chorus of goodbyes. Grabbing Arissa’s hand, Benjamin said to the kids, “Be good at school. We’re leaving now.” “Bye, Daddy!”

“Bye, Mr. Graham!” The six of them also bade farewell to him. Unlike Arissa, Benjamin was unaccustomed to such clingy behavior. Hence, after murmuring an acknowledgment, he nodded at the school’s administrators and led Arissa away.

Arissa looked over her shoulder and called out to Robert and the school’s administrators, “Goodbye!”

“Goodbye, Mr. Graham and Ms. York!”

Robert and the others had wanted to send them off, but Benjamin tilted his head and said in a low voice, “You should get back to work. If anything happens to the children, let us know at once.”

“Yes, Mr. Graham.”

Robert nodded, then stood together with the school’s administrators and watched the couple leave. Nonetheless, Arissa could not stop worrying and turned to gaze in the direction of the classroom.

When she spotted the kids watching them, she waved her hand, motioning for them to go into the classroom. Only then did they file into the classroom one after another.

But even after they had disappeared from sight, Arissa was still unwilling to look away. Casting her a quick look, Benjamin tugged at her hand.

“Why are you still staring? If you do that, how will the kids be able to focus on their lessons?”

Arissa turned back to look at him. The corners of her lips twitched as she gazed at his impassive expression. “It’s Tim’s first day at this school, so what’s wrong with me worrying about him? I’m not like you. You’re not worried at all!”

Benjamin narrowed his eyes and fixed his gaze on her. “How do you know I’m not worried?” he asked in a low voice. Arissa’s gaze flicked toward his cold and handsome face. With his sunglasses on, he looked even more imposing.

“I can’t tell that you’re worried at all.”

Benjamin’s thin lips curved upward slightly. “Would you like to see it?”

“How?” Arissa looked confused.

“You can feel it.”
