The More the Merrier novel Chapter 749

Chapter 749 Are We Really Coming Tomorrow Morning

“Let’s go back first. Your great-grandaunt won’t be able to rest easy with you all here,” Benjamin said to the children as he got to his feet.

“Let’s go home, Sweethearts. I’ll bring you all here again to visit your great-grandaunt tomorrow morning!” Arissa urged as well. Only then did the six children reluctantly bid Mary goodbye.

“Goodbye, Great-grandaunt! Rest well!” “Okay!” Mary regarded them with a smile, affection written all over her face.

“You should all go home. I’ll be at the hospital, keeping Mdm. Mary company,” Shaun reassured the family with his hands in the pockets of his white coat.

“Thank you, Mr. Bailey!” Gratitude suffused Arissa. Fortunately, we’ve got an acquaintance who works as a doctor. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to go home with peace of mind.

“It’s nothing. All this is my job, so I’ve long since gotten used to it,” Shaun replied, grinning from ear to ear. Benjamin swept a gaze over the man. “Keep an eye on things at night!”

“Will do!” Nodding, Shaun saw them out. “Go and rest, Mr. Bailey. There’s no need to see us out,” Arissa remarked courteously upon noticing that the man was getting into the elevator with them.

“I’m going downstairs for dinner, not seeing you all out, Arissa. We’re just going the same way,” Shaun explained smilingly. At once, embarrassment inundated Arissa.

Meanwhile, Benjamin shot Shaun a glare. Smirking, Shaun averted his gaze. Wow. He has really gotten it bad for her that he can’t bear to see her suffering the slightest discomfiture!

Arissa glanced at the two men before she looked away, lowering her head to gaze at the children. She caressed their heads. All six children lifted their heads one by one and stared at her, adorable beyond words.

Arissa beamed at them tenderly. “Do you have something to say, Mommy?” Jasper inquired.

“Nope!” Arissa answered with a smile.

“Why did you stroke my head, then?”

Giggling, Oliver eyed her.

“My sweethearts are cute, so I love petting your heads!” Arissa teased in a gentle voice.

At that, all six children giggled.

Shaun was also enchanted by the children’s adorable expressions.

He crouched and caressed their petite faces.

“How about staying tonight to keep your great-grandaunt company with me, Sweethearts?”
