Chapter 766 Not Even After Midnight

“I think so,” Arissa said. I think so?

Gavin furrowed his brows, sensing something amiss. As the boy stared at Arissa, he wondered, Doesn’t Mommy work with Daddy in the office? How can she not know if Daddy’s still in the office or not?

“Mommy, did you fight with Daddy?”

“I didn’t. Don’t worry.”

After ruffling the boy’s hair, Arissa took the children’s bags and placed them on the couch. “Sweethearts, did your teacher give you any homework?”

“Yes, Mommy. Our teacher has given us homework,” Jesse quickly answered. “Wash your hands first. I’ll accompany you to finish them now.”

“Okay!” Jesse bobbed her head. The five older children all glanced at Arissa before running off to wash their hands. Edwin came out with washed fruits and asked, “Mrs. Graham, shall I prepare more food for you and the kids?”

Arissa had told Edwin that they were eating at the hospital, so Edwin had brought them food as well when he delivered food to Mary. “Edwin, it’s fine. If they get hungry later, I’ll make them some pasta,” Arissa replied.

Edwin nodded. “Mrs. Graham, feel free to ask anything from me.” “All right.” Arissa nodded. Edwin then left to look at the children.

Gavin was leading his younger siblings to wash their hands before they run back to the living room. By then, Arissa had cleaned up the coffee table. She was sitting on the carpet and waiting for them to return.

“Come over and start working on your homework.”

The six children sat down and took out their homework. “Mommy, the teacher said that we can work on different kinds of homework.”

Arissa glanced at the topic before helping the children with their paper-cutting exercises. She made six different patterns for them while they assisted her. Once in a while, Edwin would bring them food and drinks.

He was impressed by Arissa’s skillful cutting.

“Mrs. Graham, you’re amazing with your hands,” Edwin praised. “None of us knew how to do Gavin’s homework, and Gavin stopped wanting to do it after a while.”

Arissa paused and raised her head. “Did Graham not help Gavin?”

“Mr. Graham is too busy for it.” Edwin sighed.

Gavin huffed. “Even if Daddy comes back early, he won’t do it with me. He thinks it’s childish!”
