The More the Merrier novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99 Riding The Bus

“Mommy, sit down. I’ll apply the ointment for you.”

Zachary pulled her over to a bench.

“Sweetheart, we’ll do it at home.”

Arissa saw that quite a number of people were looking at her and her children, and she did not want to draw more attention.

Gavin whined, “No! We have to apply it now!”

Oliver chimed in, “Yes, now!”

Jasper also urged her, “Mommy, sit down!”

“Mommy, it will heal faster if you put it on now,” Jesse added.

Arissa was helpless in the face of her five domineering children who insisted for her to apply the medicine right there and then.

“All right!” She gave in and cooperated with them.

After the tube of ointment was opened and squeezed out onto a cotton swab, Jasper rubbed the medicine on Arissa’s bruise.

“Ouch!” Arissa felt a sting of pain.

Oliver shoved Jasper to the side and stepped forward. “You’re hurting Mommy. Let me do it!”

Arissa was amused by her children’s antics.

“I’m fine. I can handle the pain. The medicine must be massaged into the bruise so that it heals faster.”

Meanwhile, Jesse stood at the side, performing her duty as a professional bruise blower.

Zachary and Gavin, on the other hand, were staring intently, making sure everything went smoothly.

The scene attracted the attention of many passers-by who couldn’t help but watch.

These little children are such angels. They are so good to their mother.

Some onlookers were touched.

“What wonderful children you have!” A middle-aged woman remarked.

Arissa replied with a smile, “Thank you!”

More and more people began to gather around.

“Are they quintuplets?”

“They all look the same. They’re too cute!”

Arissa thanked them again.

She widened her eyes at the children, indicating for them to pick up the pace. After that was all done, they headed home.

She didn’t dare to call for a taxi again this time, so she chose to take the bus.

There weren’t many people on the bus. But everyone was delighted when they saw the five precious children.

Some playfully teased the little fellows.

Out of the five, Jesse was the timidest. She hid behind Arissa, holding on to her thigh.
