The More the Merrier novel Chapter 822

Chapter 822 Only Her

Arissa smiled and patted Jesse’s head gently. “You look more and more like a girl!” Everyone turned to look at Jonathan as he said that. Shaun and Kingsley’s eyes were filled with smiles.

Gavin, Tim, Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper turned to look at Jonathan as well before they snuck a glance at Benjamin. His eyes darted back and forth between Arissa and Jesse, and he realized that Jesse did look a lot like a girl.

He turned to look at Jonathan and said, “He is still young. It’s normal for him to look like his mother. He’s going to look more like a boy when he grows up.”

Jonathan smiled and nodded. Benjamin was right. It was difficult to identify a child’s gender from their looks alone when they were really young.

Jesse hid behind Arissa with a mischievous glint in her eyes.

Arissa was enthralled by the amusing exchange.

Edwin came out of the kitchen. Noticing that Arissa did not intend to let Benjamin know that Jesse was, in fact, a girl, he bit his tongue as his lips curled into a slight smile.

“I’m done with the chicken wings! Here, have one each!”

Edwin handed one to every child and the last one to Arissa before he headed into the kitchen to prepare more.

“Thank you, Mr. Whitley!”

The children were delighted and munched on the chicken wings.

It was as if they were having supper outside.

“Mr. Watts, Dr. Bailey, Mr. Patterson, please enjoy the chicken wings.”

“Mrs. Graham, it’s all right. We will help ourselves. You have some too.”

Kingsley took over the plate of chicken wings and passed one to Jonathan and Shaun. Noticing that there were two left on the plate, he was elated.

“Haha! I have two!”

Benjamin threw a glance at him. “Give it here!”

Kingsley peered at him and hurriedly took his chicken wing. “You don’t eat wings!”

Benjamin glared at him, and Kingsley hurriedly passed the chicken wing back to him.

“You take it,” Benjamin said as he passed it to Arissa.

Everyone burst into a fit of giggles.

“Benjamin, be careful not to overfeed your lady,” Kingsley remarked as he looked at the two.

Benjamin rolled his eyes at him.
