The More the Merrier novel Chapter 83

Chapter 83 A Call From Mommy

Once Arissa’s caller ID appeared on Gavin’s phone, he was flustered in joy.

“Mommy’s calling!”

Upon hearing that, Benjamin’s eyes lit up. He turned around to see the little boy excitedly holding up the phone and noticed the caller ID that was flashing on the screen.

Gavin hurriedly picked up the phone and shouted in excitement, “Mommy!”

Arissa teared up as soon as she heard his voice. She turned around to wipe her eyes that were brimming with tears.

She tried her best to conceal her emotions to prevent Gavin from noticing anything unusual.

“Sweetheart! What are you up to now? Is Mommy bothering you while you’re in the middle of something?”

Arissa was worried that Gavin might see the news online and feel miserable.

“I’m at school, Mommy!”

Both Benjamin and Kingsley gazed surprisingly at Gavin, realizing the latter was lying.

Kingsley was amused. Who knew that even Gavin could lie.

“You didn’t bother me, Mommy. What are you doing right now?”

Arissa’s heart was melted by the little boy’s adorable tone.

“Mommy is having dinner with some colleagues. Have you eaten yet, Gav?”

“Yes I have!” answered Gavin enthusiastically.

Arissa let out a chuckle before asking, “Gav, did you surf the web today?”

Gavin questioned innocently, “Anything wrong, Mommy?”

Kingsley was deeply astonished, yet impressed at the same time.

This kid can become such a gentle cutie when talking to his mother. Typically, he would put on a serious face and behave aloof whenever he’s around us, just like Boss.

“Don’t worry. Mommy’s just asking. Remember not to play on your phone if possible, Gav. There are a lot of inappropriate things on the internet. Besides, your eyes could be harmed too!” advised Arissa.

Gavin blinked and obediently replied, “Okay, Mommy. I won’t play on my phone.”

“You’re such a good boy!” she praised.
