Chapter 718 Precious Moments With Her Children

The five kids stopped fighting and dashed in together. “Come on, Mommy!” “Hurry up, Tim!” Arissa responded as

she ran after them with the boy.



Benjamin also followed after them. As for Ethen, he volunteered to carry the shopping bags in. “Let me, Mr.

Graham.” “I’m good,” Benjamin replied.

Since it was getting late, Arissa asked her six children to go upstairs to get ready for a shower. Before going up

herself, she turned around and took over the shopping bags from Benjamin.

“It’s okay. You can go get busy. I’ll bathe the kids,” Arissa said.

Ethen obviously came to talk about business with Benjamin.

“Go check on them, Edwin,” Benjamin said to the butler.

“Right away, Mr. Graham,” Edwin said smilingly.

With everyone dismissed from his presence, Benjamin headed for his study, expecting his assistant to follow suit.

“What are you doing? Hurry up!” he reminded Ethen, who was still looking longingly in the direction of the children.

“Sure, Mr. Graham.”

Ethen went in after him and started filling him in on the progress of work.



Meanwhile, Arissa brought the children back to their room, and the kids started packing their schoolbags.

“I’ll sharpen the pencils for you, Tim,” she said gently as she helped him pack.

Arissa took the sharpener and clamped the pencil on it. “Mm? Why’s it not working?”

The children started giggling when they saw their mother having difficulty with the device.

“Mommy, you have to turn it manually. You didn’t buy the electric one,” Jesse pointed out.

Arissa felt awkward and replied smilingly, “What was I thinking? You know, back then, we didn’t even have anything

fancy like this when we went to school.”

Edwin couldn’t help chuckling.

“Let me do it for you, Tim!” Oliver offered, taking one of Tim’s pencils.

Beside him, Arissa and Tim watched on intently.



“Oliver, do a few more for Tim,” Arissa said, giving more to him while she kept those that were already sharpened.

“No, I wanna do it on my own!” Tim exclaimed in excitement.

“All right. Oliver, let him have a try.”

“So this is how you do it…” Oliver demonstrated it another time to make sure Tim knew how to do it properly.

Having seen how it was done twice, Tim felt confident.

“You need to turn it faster, Tim,” Zachary interrupted as he did a circling gesture to show Tim how it should be

done.

Tim nodded and did as he was told.

“All good?” Arissa asked encouragingly.

Tim took out the pencil carefully. “Yay! My pencil is sharp now! I can also do it on my own!”

The boy was exhilarated when he saw that he did well.

“What about another one?” Arissa asked, passing Tim his other pencils as she kept those that were already

sharpened.

Edwin and the children came closer to have a look at Tim maneuvering the sharpener.

After having another go, Arissa decided it was time for them to sleep. “All right, we’ll leave the rest for next time.

You can sharpen them when they become blunt.”

Tim agreed and helped Arissa keep the rest of his stationery back in his schoolbag.

Then, Arissa got up to pack a set of clothing, pajamas, and a pair of sandals for him.

“Sweetheart, remember to change your clothes if you get dirty. I’m putting in your pajamas too.”

“Yes. Thank you, Ms. York,” Tim replied gratefully.

Smiling, Arissa gave him a pinch on his cheek before she turned toward the others. “What about you guys? Are you

all done packing?”

“Yes! We have everything inside, Mommy,” Zachary reported.

“Mommy, everything is in my schoolbag too. Even my water bottle is inside,” Jasper added endearingly, trying to

get Arissa’s attention.

Arissa went through their schoolbags one by one to ensure they have everything they needed.

“Where’s your pajama, Oliver?” She suddenly stopped at one schoolbag.



The boy smiled at her cheekily. “I’ll put mine in tomorrow, Mommy.”

“No. You’re gonna forget it tomorrow.”

With that said, Arissa went to take Oliver’s pajama, and Edwin folded it.

“And the last one. Jesse, are you not putting in your toy? I’m not sending it to school for you tomorrow.”

Arissa was surprised when she realized that the girl did not put her favorite toy in her schoolbag.

“No, Mommy. I’m not sleeping without it,” the girl replied, smiling.
