The More The Merrier Novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109

Even though she was reluctant to part with Gavin, she felt guilty of making the other four kids starve if
she were to let Benjamin and Gavin stay any longer.

“Yes, Mommy. I like it here. I like you. I like my brothers,” Gavin said. He muttered the last part rather
softly.

“Mommy likes you too!”

Arissa was overjoyed to hear him say that. She kissed him over and over again.

As Benjamin watched them exchange goodbye kisses he felt a pang of jealousy.

Arissa ushered Gavin to the living room. She said to Benjamin, “Mr. Graham, Gavin’s done with his
meal!”

In other words, it was time for them to leave.

Benjamin shot her and Gavin a glance before beckoning the latter over.

“Come over here, Gavin!”

Gavin obediently complied.

Arissa’s gaze remained on her son as he approached Benjamin.

Noticing her relentless gaze, Benjamin snorted inwardly at her doting attitude toward Gavin.

“Do you like it here?” Benjamin asked Gavin.

The boy’s eyes lit up. He nodded fervently. “Yes!”



“Then we shall stay for a little while longer!” Benjamin patted Gavin’s head and suggested.

Arissa was taken aback. Benjamin’s suggestion had put her in a tight spot, as it would seem impolite if
she forced them to leave.

“Gavin, have some fruits!”

Arissa had no choice but to sit next to Benjamin. She scooped Gavin up and had him sit on her lap as
she offered him fruits.

“Mommy, I want to stay here!”

Gavin clung to Arissa and pleaded. Holding him tightly in her arms, Arissa, more than anything, would
love for him to stay longer too.

Yet, she figured Benjamin would most probably not allow that.

“Daddy, can I stay over? I don’t want to go home. I want to spend a little bit longer with Mommy!” Gavin
pleaded.

Benjamin looked at Gavin, then at Arissa.

His handsome face was apathetic. When he spoke, it was in an authoritative tone.

“Gavin, I can let you stay for a little bit longer, but you ought not cause trouble.”

Gavin pursed his lips at Benjamin’s words.

Sensing Gavin’s disappointment, Arissa frowned slightly.

“Mr. Graham, I’m glad Gavin likes it here. I don’t mind if he stays over for the night. I can send him to
school tomorrow.”



Benjamin gazed at her intently. “Why do you want him to stay over?”

Arissa was stumped by his question.

Benjamin did not know that Gavin was her son as well. As far as he knew, Gavin was his son, not hers.

“Because I like him!” Arissa promptly replied.

“Do you just let anyone you like stay over?”

Benjamin let out an unnoticeable snort. There was a hint of annoyance in his tone.

Puzzled by Benjamin’s reaction, Arissa opened her mouth in an attempt to refute, “Why not? Should I
rather have people I hate stay over?”

Arissa shot him a glance, only to notice that his expression was as gloomy as the night. He was glaring
at her.

How dare you!

Gavin observed the two and let out a sigh. “Mommy, I think it’s better for me to go home. I’ll come over
again tomorrow!”

“All right!” Arissa gave him another hug and kiss him dotingly.

Benjamin knitted his brows. He was upset by the fact that Arissa treated his son in such a tender
manner but acted so disagreeably toward him as if he was her enemy.

With that, he was no longer in the mood to discuss the matter regarding the kids with her.

“Gavin, let’s go!”



Getting to his feet, Benjamin beckoned his son over.

Gavin was reluctant to part. Arissa tousled his hair gently. She carried him in her arms and approached
Benjamin.

“Don’t forget to call me when you get home!”

“All right, Mommy!”

Arissa smiled as she bent down with Gavin still in her arms.

She seated Gavin on her lap and helped him put his shoes on.

Benjamin could tell that her patience and affection toward Gavin were genuine, unlike Danna, who
behaved quite pretentiously toward the boy.

Arissa genuinely wanted the best for him. He was her son by blood, after all.

“Gavin, stand up!” Benjamin chided.

After putting on Gavin’s shoes, Arissa finally set him down.

“Bye, Mommy.”

“Bye, Sweetheart!”

Arissa leaned down and kissed Gavin goodbye for one last time.

Gavin’s cheeks reddened from both embarrassment and joy.

Benjamin shot Gavin a glance before taking the boy’s hand. “We’re leaving now,” he said to Arissa.

“Drive safe, Mr. Graham.”



Arissa finally heaved a sigh of relief as she sent him off with a huge grin.

Benjamin was rendered speechless by her eagerness to do so.

Benjamin noticed the cut on her forehead and stared at it for a moment.

Then, he grabbed his son’s hand and walked over.

Arissa watched him in confusion and asked, “Mr. Graham, what’s the matter?”

In response, Benjamin grabbed her hand and led her into the room. “Go get the medical kit.”

Hearing that, Arissa felt puzzled and didn’t know what Benjamin was up to.

She glanced at him, then at Gavin. Meanwhile, Gavin also had no clue why Benjamin was staring at
Arissa.

“Are you hurt?” Arissa asked.

Benjamin’s face darkened, and he instructed, “Just go and get it!”

The corner of Arissa’s lips twitched, but she quickly went to grab the medical kit.

Unsmilingly, Benjamin opened it, pulled out the antiseptic, and soaked a cotton ball with it.

Then, he stood in front of Arissa and tucked her hair behind her ear.

Arissa froze.

Is he going to treat my wound?

The faint smell of mint on Benjamin’s body made her heart race.



“Ouch…”

The sudden pain made her gasp.

“Don’t move!” Benjamin ordered as he held her head still with one hand and roughly cleaned her
wound with the other.

His strength was much stronger than Gavin’s. It hurt so much that Arissa started to tear up.

Benjamin noticed the tears in her eyes from the corner of his eye, and he grinned devilishly.

“Rubbing it will increase blood circulation and make it heal faster.”

“Don’t be so rough. Stop! I’ll do it myself!”

At that moment, Arissa felt like her skin was about to get peeled off.

If he continues to rub so hard, I’ll get bruised.

“You got hurt on the way home, so it is considered a work injury. I have to make sure that you are taken
care of,” Benjamin said coldly,

Upon hearing that, Arissa sneered. What a smart-mouth.

“It’s none of your business. Let go of me! My skin is about to fall off!”

“Stop being so dramatic!” Benjamin scoffed.

The corner of Arissa’s lips twitched again, and she cursed him under her breath.

When Gavin saw Benjamin personally tend to Arissa’s wound, he smiled from ear to ear.

Then, he held Arissa’s hand and comforted, “Mommy, just bear with it for a while. It’ll be over soon.”
