Chapter 512 What Is With That Expression The other five kids obediently wait on the sides for Arissa to finish explaining the elevator use to Tim. They didnât throw any tantrums or make fun of Timâs ignorance.
We wouldâve freaked out and not be as calm as Tim if we were the ones who grew up in a rural town and has never seen an elevator.
Arissa glanced at Tim. âCan you remember everything, Sweetheart?â
Tim nodded with blushed cheeks.
His face was too dark, so his blush wasnât too obvious, but Arissa was well aware of his shyness and patted his head adoringly.
With a soft voice, she said, âWhen I took the elevator for the first time, I was scared of others making fun of me, so I got on with someone and watched how they operate it. Youâll be familiar with the workings after a few times.â
âOkay.â Tim nodded.
Arissa continued to carry him and hollered for the other five toward the examination room.
âGrandma and Mr. Graham are over there.â
Gavin saw Benjamin and Mary were almost at the end of the hallway and told Arissa.
âLetâs hurry over there.â
She picked up her pace, and the other five children ran to keep up with her.
âMs. York, let me down, please,â Tim reminded Arissa.
âItâs fine. I can carry you.â
She flashed a smile at him. I finally got the chance to carry him, so I want to carry him for a bit longer.
She bounced Tim up slightly and tightened her arms around him as she led the other five children toward Benjamin.
âMommy is really amazing to run even faster than us!â Jesse laughed.
âYouâre not too slow yourself, Jesse. Youâre doing great today!â Arissa complimented Jesse.
Jesseâs smile grew wider at the compliment. Her eyes curved, her dimples appeared, and her smile was so wide everyone could see her gums.
She looked absolutely adorable.
Tim was staring at her.
Jasper couldnât help but pinch her cheeks.
âHow can you smile so widely when youâre missing a tooth. You look ugly!â
Jesse swiftly covered her mouth and glared at her brother.
âWhen your teeth drop, Iâll laugh at you too.â
Arissa laughed at the siblingsâ banter. When she noticed Tim looking at them, she put him down. âJesse, Jasper, play with Tim too.â
Jasper nodded and came up to Tim. âTim, weâll go and take the elevator later.â
âI want to accompany Grandma,â Tim rejected softly. Grandma is undergoing some checkups, so I canât run around.
âI mean after Grandma finished her checks. Not now,â Jasper explained.
Tim contemplated it briefly before nodding his head.
Jasper responded with a smile.
Jesse came over and clung to Timâs arm.
âTim, I want to continue talking to you about Mr. Graham.â
Jesse peeked at Benjamin, who was on the phone, as she whispered to Tim.
âWhat about him?â Jasper was curious too.
Oliver approached, wanting to listen in too. âWhat secret are you guys talking about?â
Jesse gestured for them to follow her to the side and pulled Tim along with her.
Gavin and Zachary trailed after her too, wanting to listen in.
The More the Merrier Arissa smiled when she saw all six of the kids getting along.
She could still hear their conversation clearly even if Jesse was whispering.
Benjamin went up to Arissa after his call. âWhat are they doing?â
Arissa cast him a glance and said, âSharing a secret.â
Benjamin locked his gaze with hers and said, âJesse looks like a girl sometimes, but itâs best if you take note. A boy needs to act like a boy.â
Benjamin didnât like boys acting gentle or showing feminine characteristics.
He wanted his boys to all be men.
Arissa was having a hard time holding in her laughter.
âWhat is with your expression?â
Benjamin noticed the awkward twitching of her facial muscles and narrowed his eyes at her.
Arissa turned around and giggled.
Her shoulders were shaking excessively.
Benjaminâs expression darkened. What is this woman doing?
After calming down slightly, she turned back around and answered Benjamin, âOkay.â
Her bright eyes couldnât hide her amusement.
Benjamin narrowed his eyes at her and asked, âWhy were you laughing?â
Arissa shook her head fervently. âI wasnât. Did you see me laughing?â
Benjamin didnât know how to respond to her denial.
