The More the Merrier novel Chapter 740

Chapter 740 Give It Back To Them

Tim shook his head and denied, “No.” Arissa stared at the boy and saw him looking down to avoid her gaze. That was when it occurred to her. Something must be wrong.

She looked at the rest of her children in a serious manner. “Did somebody bully Tim?” Tim was taken aback. How did Mommy know?

Gavin and the others glanced at Arissa before exchanging glances. Mommy is too intelligent. The children continued to eat their pasta. Arissa narrowed her eyes when she realized that none of the children was going to tell her anything.

“Tell me exactly what has happened!” Zachary and Gavin looked at one another.

In the end, the oldest child, Gavin decided to be honest with Arissa. He felt guilty for not taking good care of Tim. “Mommy, it’s my fault. I didn’t take good care of Tim. Someone scolded him!”

Arissa’s heart sank. So, I’m right. Someone did bully Tim. “Who scolded Tim? What did they say?” she questioned with a frown.

Gavin stole a glance at his mother before saying apologetically, “After talking to you on the phone, we went to the restroom. Some of the other children teased Tim about his dark complexion and said he isn’t our biological brother. They even said Tim is ugly!”

Arissa eyed Tim with a heartbroken look. She pulled him to her and let him sit on her lap. “Tim, ignore what those children say about you. You’re very handsome,” she consoled him, stroking his head and embracing him.

“I know. I’m not upset,” said Tim heartwarmingly. Arissa was frowning so hard that Tim touched her forehead to smooth out the creases on it. She looked at the boy and kissed his forehead.

“You’re really, really good-looking. Look at Gavin, Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper. All of them look like you. It’s just that you are tanned, that’s all. After some time, you will turn fair and look like them again. Don’t you think they are good-looking?”

Tim looked at his brothers and nodded. “Yes, they are!”
