The More the Merrier
Stressful
Arissa rolled her eyes. “You can tell me that without hitting me.”
Benjamin smiled.
He leaned toward her ear and whispered, “You can hit me back if you like.”
She instantly felt her cheeks burning as she stared at the man in disbelief. Does he really mean it?
“Stop making goo-goo eyes at each other. Otherwise, all of us will finish our meals before the two of
you!” Kingsley joked.
Arissa blushed and lowered her head to eat.
Benjamin shot a glare at Kingsley.
Kingsley dry laughed and reminded, “We already finished this lamb chop, but it’s not enough!”
“Just order more!” Benjamin exclaimed in a deep voice.
Kingsley’s eyes lit up as he called for a server and ordered more dishes.
Shaun chuckled. “Benjamin’s family alone can finish eating a dish by themselves!”
That family had six children and two adults, after all. At most, a dish only had enough portions for ten
people.
“True!” Kingsley stared at the children with a grin and turned to Arissa. “Isn’t it stressful raising six
children?”
Arissa smiled. “It was quite stressful in the past.”
She raised four children by herself before, which wasn’t easy.
However, after that, she had help from friends. Once her job became stable, her stress level reduced.
“Mommy was really stressful when she was raising the four of us!” Zachary added as he looked at the
men. “Mommy had to work several jobs in the past!”
Oliver nodded. “Once, Mommy was almost bullied by thugs when she went to work during the night!”
His eyebrows were furrowed as he displayed the worry he experienced back then.
Benjamin’s eyes glimmered as he looked at Arissa. “Don’t you know how to fight?”
Arissa looked back at him. “I only learned that after I came back!”
She learned how to fight when she thought about returning to the country because she didn’t know who
she would be facing.
“Mommy worked so hard back then. She had to work during the morning and learn martial arts during
the night. It was super tiring!” Jasper furrowed his eyebrows tightly as he told them about what
happened in the past.
“There were a couple of times when Mommy got so tired that she didn’t have the energy to even take a
bath and just slept on the bed!” A pitiful expression appeared on Jesse’s face.
Arissa smiled. Yeah, I was really busy back then. It was so tiring, but it also made me feel happy. It also
helped me forget the pain of losing two children.
She turned to Gavin and Tim.
The two of them felt their heart ache as they saw the regret in her eyes.
“You really worked hard, Mommy. If I was by your side, you would’ve needed to work even harder!”
Gavin said considerately.
Tim nodded. If the two of us were around, Mommy would have to earn even more money to raise us,
meaning she’ll have to work even harder.
Arissa was glad to see her children being so considerate.
“I’m not afraid. In fact, if both of you were with me, I’ll be even happier! Sure, it’ll be more tiring, but I
won’t need to worry about you two then.” Her eyes reddened as she choked a little.
Benjamin stared at her profoundly and gently reminded, “All right. Let’s stop talking about that. Eat!”
“You should eat more, Mommy. When we grow up, we’ll take care of you!” Zachary put more food on
his mother’s plate.
His siblings promptly did the same too.
“Thank you, Sweethearts! Let’s eat together!” she thanked them.
Once the lamb chop arrived, Arissa grabbed a piece of it for each of her children.
“Please have some too!” She turned to Shaun, Kingsley, and Ethen.
They smiled and nodded.
Ethen grabbed a piece and started eating. Eating with Mr. Graham and Ms. York is the best. We always
get to eat awesome food!
Seeing how eager Ethen was eating, Kingsley joked, “Are you paying him enough, Benjamin? Your
assistant looks like he’s on the verge of starving to death.”
Benjamin glanced at Ethen in disdain.
Ethen was speechless.
