The More the Merrier novel Chapter 876

Chapter 876 Tim Called Her Mommy

Jonathan was touched, but he found it hilarious as well. He grinned and replied, “That’s so sweet of you. Thank you.”

“You’re welcome,” replied Gavin while smiling.

When Jonathan saw how bright the kid’s smile was, his grin widened. “You’re so cute when you smile, Gavin. You should smile more.”

Gavin put his smile away immediately and looked as serious as Benjamin.

All the other kids turned to look at Gavin. They also thought that he looked good when he smiled.

“Your smile is stunning, Gavin,” said Jesse while smiling brightly.

“Thank you for saying that, Jesse,” replied Gavin. He instinctively smiled once more.

Jesse responded by grinning like a love-sick puppy.

Arissa turned her attention to the kids, and when she saw they all had smiles, she couldn’t help doing the same.

“What do you kids want to eat? I’ll get it for you.”

“Thank you, Mommy, but our plates are still full,” said all six kids simultaneously.

Arissa felt her eyes turning warm with tears as Tim had called her “Mommy” as well. He had spoken softly, but she had still caught it anyway.

Gavin was excited, too. He turned his attention to Tim and asked, “Tim, did you just say ‘Mommy?’”

Zachary had heard what Tim said as well. The former grinned at the latter. “You called her ‘Mommy!’”

Tim blushed for a moment.

“Mommy, did you hear that? Tim called you ‘Mommy’ earlier!” exclaimed Zachary in a bid to share the good news with Arissa.

Arissa smiled and nodded. Her eyes shone with love as her gaze fell on the kids. “I heard that.”

Tim snuck a peek at Arissa but quickly tilted his gaze down shyly.

“Oof, you are really terrible at this, Boss, and Arissa has you beat. Tim has already started calling her ‘Mommy.’ When will we ever hear the kids call you ‘Daddy?’” said Kingsley before guffawing.

“You’ll have to work harder, buddy,” teased Shaun, who was grinning at Benjamin as well.

Jonathan smiled and turned his attention to the kids. Curious, he asked, “Why won’t you kids call him ‘Daddy?’”

“Because he failed,” replied Jasper right away.

Arching his brow, Jonathan pressed on, “Failed? At what?”

After that, Jonathan turned to Benjamin and asked, “Benjamin, do you know what they are talking about?”

“Yeah,” replied Benjamin calmly. He grabbed a few bites and drank with the guys again.
