Chapter 720 Stay The Night With Us âChildren, come out and dry your hair!â Arissa had already gotten the hair dryer ready when she shouted at them to go over. They sat down on the couch while their mother plugged in the hair dryer.
By that time, Edwin had gotten the milk ready. When he saw that they were occupied, he left the glasses of milk on one side and went to clean the bathroom.
âMommy, youâre so much better at it than Daddy and Grandpa. Youâre so gentle,â Gavin praised smilingly as Arissa blow-dried his hair.
Beside him, Tim nodded in agreement.
Arissa was happy to hear their compliment.
âI like you better too, Mommy,â Zachary added.
âMe too! Me too!â Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse cried out in unison.
The smile on Arissaâs face deepened.
âGo and have some milk. Mr. Whitley left it on the table. Go to bed after that. Itâs past ten already,â Arissa instructed as she kept the hair dryer after she was done drying the childrenâs hair.
Gavin took the glasses of milk and passed it to his brothers and sister.
âMommy, this is for you.â
âOkay. Thanks.â
When she was done keeping the hair dryer, Arissa went over to the table to join the kids.
After they finished their milk, Arissa hurried them to bed.
After tucking them in, Arissa found the children blinking their round eyes at her in anticipation.
âMommy,â Jesse called out, âcould you sleep with us tonight?â
âYeah, Mommy. Sleep here,â Gavin insisted.
Seeing that the children were longing for her accompaniment, Arissa agreed to it readily.
âAll right. Iâll go shower, and Iâll be back. Okay?â
âOkay!â
The children were glad that Arissa agreed to spend the night with them.
Although Tim did not say anything, the smile on his face was enough to show his happiness.
âHurry up, Mommy. Weâll be waiting,â Jasper urged.
It had been a long time since Arissa slept in their room.
âSleep first. No more games,â Arissa replied as she went over to pick up the empty glasses.
It so happened that Edwin had just finished cleaning the bathroom. When he saw Arissa wanting to wash the glasses, he came over to relieve her.
âYou should go shower, Mrs. Graham. Iâll do it.â
Arissa nodded. âThanks, Edwin.â
Edwin smiled at her and went off to the kitchen.
As for Arissa, she returned to the master bedroom to shower. When she came out to dry her hair again, half an hour had already passed.
She rushed over to the childrenâs bedroom when she was finally done.
When she got there, Edwin was reading them a bedtime story, and despite how interesting the story was, Arissa could tell from the kidsâ faces that they were struggling to keep their eyes open.
âEdwin, you should go rest. Iâll take over.â
âSure. Goodnight, Mrs. Graham,â the butler whispered with a smile.
âGoodnight, Edwin,â Arissa said.
After Edwin closed the door, she lay on the bed with the children.
âMommy! Come over to the middle!â Gavin beckoned.
The More the Merrier ï¤Chapter 719 The children moved apart, making a room for Arissa right in the middle.
âOver here, Mommy!â
âAll right,â Arissa replied gently.
When she lay down, she put her arms around the children and planted a kiss on their foreheads.
âGoodnight, my sweethearts.â
âGoodnight, Mommy,â the five kids said. Tim, too, replied, âGoodnight, Ms. York.â
âSweet dreams!â
Arissa pulled the blanket over them and closed her eyes.
With their mother beside them, the children fell asleep in no time.
Likewise, Arissa dozed off very soon in the familiar scent of the children.
Meanwhile, Edwin went downstairs to get Benjamin a drink.
He whispered, âMr. Graham, have some water. Are you resting anytime soon? Itâs late.â
âYeah, Iâll be done soon. Are the children asleep?â Benjamin asked.
âThey were almost asleep when I left. Mrs. Graham took over after I came down,â Edwin replied.
Benjamin nodded. âYou should also call it a day, Edwin. Iâll go to bed soon.â
Edwin nodded and left quietly, since Benjamin was still engrossed in work.
Not long after the butler left, Benjamin received a call from Darius.
