The More the Merrier novel Chapter 781

Chapter 781 Did You Argue

Just then, Zachary piped up, “Mommy, what about the walls upstairs?”

“That sounds great! We can paste your future achievements there!” Arissa smiled and nodded. That way, the children could see the display every time they used the stairs. She turned to Benjamin to seek his agreement. “Does that work?”

“I’m fine with anything!” Benjamin did not have any strong opinions on the matter. Nodding to acknowledge his response, Arissa then said to the children, “Sweethearts, we’ll paste your future certificates on the walls upstairs!”

“Okay!” The children nodded in unison. Once they arrived at the hospital, Benjamin and Arissa alighted from the car and led the children to visit Mary.

The elderly woman was flabbergasted by the entire Graham family’s visit to her ward. Anxiously, she asked, “Aren’t you both still working? You can go ahead and leave the children here! I’ll look after them.”

“We’ve knocked off work already, Grandaunt,” Arissa reassured her with a smile.

“So early? Don’t people usually get off work at six?”

She thought Arissa had left work early over the past few days to fetch the children home from school. She was surprised to learn that Arissa had already clocked off work.

“The company has shorter working hours,” Benjamin explained helpfully.

Mary nodded in relief and invited the family to sit.

Shaun entered the ward just then and smiled when he saw Benjamin. “You got off work so early?”

Benjamin nodded in response.

Then, Shaun greeted Arissa before turning his attention to entertaining the kids.

Arissa promptly wiped Mary down just as Edwin arrived with dinner for the elderly patient.

“Gavin, Tim, Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, Jesse! Would you like to eat with your great-grandaunt?”

Mary invited the children to eat with her, but they shook their heads after seeing that Edwin had only brought enough food for one.

“It’s okay, Great-grandaunt! We’re not hungry!”

Arissa coaxed, “Please eat, Grandaunt. We’ll bring them home for dinner in a bit!”

“All right!” Mary nodded before calling out to Benjamin, “Why don’t you share some of this with me, Benjamin?”

Smiling, Benjamin said, “Don’t worry about me, Grandaunt. I’m going to have a chat with Shaun outside.”

Then, using his gaze, he signaled the doctor to leave the ward with him.
