The More the Merrier novel Chapter 769

Chapter 769 Neither Of Them Spoke

“In that case, you should hurry down and have your breakfast,” Arissa said with a smile, motioning for them to go downstairs. “Okay!”

With that, the children sprinted down the stairs immediately. “Graham, Mr. Frank, come and have breakfast too,” she called out, then followed the kids downstairs. Sensing her aloof attitude, Benjamin frowned, and his handsome face darkened.

Ethen sneaked a glance at him. “Mr. Graham, let’s go down for breakfast.” Benjamin radiated an icy-cold aura as he rose to his feet and strode out of the children’s room. Ethen dared not utter a single word as he followed the former.

Once downstairs, Arissa rushed the kids through breakfast, then got ready to take them to the hospital. However, she was shocked to see Benjamin follow them. “Let’s go together.”

He shot her a glance before getting into the car. The six children’s gazes darted between the two of them. Then, they called out to Arissa enthusiastically, “Hurry up!”

“Okay.” Arissa leaned down and got into the car. The children sat in the middle. “Has Grandaunt’s condition been stable these past couple of days?” Benjamin asked. She did not respond.

The children gazed at them. After a while, Gavin said to him softly, “She has been in quite good spirits, and her appetite has been good too.” Benjamin nodded, then took his tablet and started working.

Arissa kept staring at her phone. Bradley still had not contacted her, so she was a little worried. “Mommy, what are you looking at?” Zachary asked, craning his neck to look at her phone. She turned to him and asked, “Have you been in touch with Mr. Hinton?”

Zachary shook his head. Oliver was also puzzled. “He hasn’t contacted us since we got back. We can’t reach him on WhatsApp either.”

Jasper nodded. “That’s so strange!”

“Mommy, you don’t think something happened to him, do you?” Jesse asked, also starting to feel concerned. Arissa’s heart sank. “I’ll give Mr. Griffin a call.”

Tim blinked and asked in surprise, “Is he still at Rutaceae Village?”

Arissa nodded. She felt quite uneasy, as Bradley had never been unreachable for several days. “Bradley is fine. It’s just that the cell tower over there is down,” Benjamin said while casting her a quick look.

Stunned, she turned to stare at him. “How do you know that?”

“Ethen contacted someone about building a house,” he reminded her.

“Oh,” she murmured, gazing at him.

Then she turned back to the front. No wonder I haven’t been able to get in touch with him.

Arissa wanted to ask how long the cell tower had been down. However, she stopped when she saw him with his head lowered over the tablet and working away.
