You More Than Anything In The World novel Chapter 32

Chapter 32 Checking Up On Her

Arissa smiled and pinched Jesse’s nose lovingly.

“There are a lot of little kids your age in school. I’m sure it’ll be fun. You should go to school with your brothers. I’ll pick you up after school, okay? That way, I don’t have to worry much, and you guys won’t miss me all day long, right? I’ll be worried sick if no one takes care of you at home.”

Jesse pouted as she turned to look at her brothers. The young child knew she could not persuade her mother at all.

Finally, Zachary spoke up. “Could we just postpone the plan for a few days? We’re still jet-lagged!”

Arissa looked at the energetic and rowdy kids in front of her.

“What difference does it make? I know you’re all mature and sensible kids, but you have to go to school someday!”

She could not comprehend why her children were so reluctant to attend school.

“The kids in school are a bunch of whiny babies!” Oliver said with a tone of disdain.

Oliver’s words amused Arissa. “You’re saying that you’re not a kid?”

She pinched his nose affectionately.

Oliver chuckled. “But I won’t cry and make a fuss like them!”

“All right. We’ll go to school, Mommy.” Seeing how worried Arissa was, Gavin was the first to agree to her wishes.

Zachary gave him the side-eye and bargained with Arissa hurriedly, “I don’t mind going to school, but can we skip kindergarten instead?”

Arissa looked at him, fully aware of his intentions.

“No, all of you are still too young for elementary school! You’ll have to attend kindergarten first!”

Zachary finally gave in, “Fine.”

Arissa smiled while she caressed their heads. “Get changed now, kids. We’re heading there soon.”

“Mommy, it’s almost time for them to get off work. Can’t we just go in the afternoon?” Zachary reminded her.

Arissa turned to look at the time. It was indeed almost noon.

She laughed and said, “You’re right. I almost forgot about that. We’ll go there in the afternoon, then.”

After using the bathroom, Arissa started to prepare lunch for them. All four of her children surrounded her and chattered away while she made lunch for them.

After eating, Arissa cleaned up the kitchen and sent the children to take a nap.
