Chapter 705 Be In Control Of The Finances The six kids were standing around the hospital bed and chatting with Mary by the time she returned. Arissa decided to sit down and join them when she saw how happy Mary looked.
âI need to take a nap, and the kids have been keeping me company all day at the hospital. You should all go get some rest, Issa,â Mary said.
Arissa flashed her a smile. âYou can go ahead and take a nap, Grandaunt. Iâll wait till you fall asleep before I leave with the kids. Would you like to use the bathroom beforehand?â
âYes, I do,â Mary replied as she climbed out of bed.
Arissa quickly reached out to hold her steady, but Mary gently brushed her hands off and said with a chuckle, âI can walk on my own now, Arissa. If you keep holding on to me like this, I might end up forgetting how to walk.â
âAll right. Watch your step, Grandaunt,â Arissa replied and stepped to the side.
The six kids then helped make the bed while she was in the bathroom.
âDo you feel cold, Grandaunt?â Arissa asked as she gently tucked Mary in afterward.
âNo, itâs just right. Make sure to get some rest later, okay?â Mary replied.
The six kids nodded in unison. âOkay!â
Arissa waited until Mary had fallen asleep before bringing them to Benjaminâs office.
Although Benjamin rarely used the office, he had someone clean it on a daily basis. As such, the air inside wasnât musty at all.
âMrs. Graham, you and the kids can take a nap in here. Iâll be right outside, so just call out to me if you need anything,â Edwin said after adjusting the temperature.
âThereâs a couch here, Edwin. How about you lay down for a bit? Or would you prefer to rest at home instead?â Arissa asked when she saw him leaving.
âIâll be heading back at three in the afternoon, so I guess Iâll be taking the couch,â Edwin replied with a smile.
âIâll fetch you a blanket, then,â Arissa said as she brought the kids into the office.
The lounge looked rather simple with only a bed and a wardrobe.
Even so, it was really comfortable due to its spaciousness and warm atmosphere.
âAll right, itâs time for you kids to go pee. Weâll all be taking a nap here today!â
Arissa then brought Edwin a blanket before returning to the lounge.
The kids nodded obediently and ran off to use the restroom.
âWeâre done, Mommy!â they called out to her when they returned a few minutes later.
âGo on, get in bed,â Arissa said as she went to use the restroom as well.
âHurry up and join us, Mommy!â the six kids shouted excitedly when she came out of the restroom.
âHurry up, Ms. York!â Tim called out to her with a smile.
Arissaâs eyes lit up when she heard that, and she quickly joined them in bed.
âOh, you all smell so good!â she exclaimed as she hugged them tightly and gave them a kiss each.
For some reason, Arissa really loved the scent of her kids.
A smile formed on Edwinâs lips when he heard them giggling from outside the lounge.
It is as I expected... The kids are at their happiest only when their mother is around. Iâm glad Gavin is laughing so happily!
âAll right, thatâs enough fooling around for now. Go to sleep,â Arissa said as she lay down in the middle with three of them on each side.
âMommy, do you like Daddy?â Gavin asked.
Zachary and the others all looked at her curiously upon hearing that.
âYes, I do,â Arissa replied with a nod.
Gavin broke into a wide grin, and Timâs eyes lit up with excitement as well.
âYou mustnât let your guard down even if you like him, Mommy! You need to make sure that he likes you too,â Zachary reminded her.

Zachary simply chuckled in response.
âWe donât object to you two being together, but you have to be in control of the familyâs finances! You canât really trust rich people like him!â Oliver added.
âLook at you, talking about finances like a grown-up!â Arissa gave him a gentle smack on the forehead.
âI wonât object to you two dating as long as Daddy treats you well, Mommy,â Jasper chimed in as well.
