Chapter 706 Nothing To Be Ashamed Of Zachary nodded. âThatâs right. It all depends on how well he treats you, Mommy. He hasnât even proposed to you yet, so you mustnât fall for any of his tricks! Just because a man marries you doesnât necessarily mean he loves you. For all we know, he could just be putting up an act!â
Arissa didnât know whether to laugh or cry when she heard that. âWhat you said does make sense, but where are you kids getting all this information?
Did you read them off the internet or something?â
âWe were just doing some research, Mommy,â Oliver replied with a mischievous giggle.
âStop reading that nonsense, or Iâll confiscate your phone,â Arissa warned him sternly.
Jesse seized the opportunity to rat them out.
âThey were playing video games on their phones, Mommy!â
Arissa shot them a stern glare and said, âKids like you shouldnât be on your phones so much! Itâs bad for your eyes! Gavin, I want you to supervise them and make sure they donât spend too much time on their phones.â
âOkay!â Gavin nodded.
âCan we teach Tim how to use his phone, Mommy?â
âYou may, but make sure to game in moderation. You are only allowed to game for half an hour per day, okay? I donât want you kids getting addicted to it.â
Arissa had to set a strict limit for them, or they would surely go overboard with it.
âWe only game occasionally, Mommy,â Jasper protested.
Arissa pinched him on the cheek. âSays the one who spends the most of his time gaming!â
Jasper let out a mischievous giggle in response.
Arissa then shifted her gaze toward Tim as she asked, âDo you know how to make phone calls yet?â
âI do. Gavin, Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper have been teaching me how to do it! They even taught me how to send voice messages!â Tim replied while showing his newly acquired skills to Arissa.
âDo you have your own phone number yet, Sweetheart? Could you tell me what it is?â
She was shocked to find out that Timâs phone had a SIM card installed.
âYeah, but I donât know the number,â Tim mumbled awkwardly.
âDaddy did it for him last night, Mommy,â Gavin said.
âYeah! Mr. Graham gave us all a phone number each!â Zachary added.
âIs that so? Hurry up and tell me the numbers, then. Iâll save them on my phone. You first, Tim. Give me a call, and weâll find out what your phone number is,â Arissa said with a smile.
âSure.â Tim nodded.
Arissa then read him her phone number while he keyed it into his phone with a serious look on his face.
âThatâs it. Youâre doing a good job, Sweetheart,â she complimented him while ruffling his hair.
After saving his number, Arissa asked, âWere you familiar with numbers before, Sweetheart?â
âYeah! Great-grandaunt and Grandpa have been teaching me. Nathan and the others taught me how to count too!â Tim replied with a nod.
Arissa flashed him a smile and asked, âIs Nathan a friend of yours?â
âYeah... We used to work together...â Tim quickly held his tongue when he realized he almost let it slip.
Arissaâs eyes lit up when she heard that. âWhat kind of work were you guys doing?â
Gavin, Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse were all staring at him curiously as well.
Tim lowered his head and buried his face in Arissaâs chest as he mumbled, âF-Farming...â
Of course... Itâs common for kids in villages to help their families out at the farm.
With that in mind, Arissa patted him on the head and said, âFarming is nothing to be ashamed of, Sweetheart. Youâre making an honest living with your own two hands, and thatâs something to take pride in. Iâm really proud of you for helping your family out, Tim!â
Timâs eyes lit up as he looked up at Arissa, who gave him a kiss on the forehead.

âWe usually use a hoe for weeding, but we do use our hands from time to time. Itâll be a lot easier if you wear gloves when weeding with your hands.
Itâll keep your hands safe from cuts,â Tim replied.
âTeach me how to weed when we get back to Rutaceae Village! I want to try farming too!â Jasper said excitedly.
âBe careful not to end up pulling the entire village out of the ground!â Arissa teased him with a chuckle.
Gavin and the others burst out laughing when they heard that.
What are you all laughing at me for? Itâs not like you guys know how to weed either!â Jasper exclaimed with his face red from embarrassment.
