Chapter 876 Tim Called Her Mommy
Jonathan was touched, but he found it hilarious as well. He grinned and replied, “That’s so
sweet of you. Thank you.”
“You’re welcome,” replied Gavin while smiling.
When Jonathan saw how bright the kid’s smile was, his grin widened. “You’re so cute when
you smile, Gavin. You should smile more.”
Gavin put his smile away immediately and looked as serious as Benjamin.
All the other kids turned to look at Gavin. They also thought that he looked good when he
smiled.
“Your smile is stunning, Gavin,” said Jesse while smiling brightly.
“Thank you for saying that, Jesse,” replied Gavin. He instinctively smiled once more.
Jesse responded by grinning like a love-sick puppy.
Arissa turned her attention to the kids, and when she saw they all had smiles, she couldn’t
help doing the same.
“What do you kids want to eat? I’ll get it for you.”
“Thank you, Mommy, but our plates are still full,” said all six kids simultaneously.
Arissa felt her eyes turning warm with tears as Tim had called her “Mommy” as well. He
had spoken softly, but she had still caught it anyway.

Gavin was excited, too. He turned his attention to Tim and asked, “Tim, did you just say
‘Mommy?’”
Zachary had heard what Tim said as well. The former grinned at the latter. “You called her
‘Mommy!’”
Tim blushed for a moment.
“Mommy, did you hear that? Tim called you ‘Mommy’ earlier!” exclaimed Zachary in a bid
to share the good news with Arissa.
Arissa smiled and nodded. Her eyes shone with love as her gaze fell on the kids. “I heard
that.”
Tim snuck a peek at Arissa but quickly tilted his gaze down shyly.
“Oof, you are really terrible at this, Boss, and Arissa has you beat. Tim has already started
calling her ‘Mommy.’ When will we ever hear the kids call you ‘Daddy?’” said Kingsley
before guffawing.
“You’ll have to work harder, buddy,” teased Shaun, who was grinning at Benjamin as well.
Jonathan smiled and turned his attention to the kids. Curious, he asked, “Why won’t you
kids call him ‘Daddy?’”
“Because he failed,” replied Jasper right away.
Arching his brow, Jonathan pressed on, “Failed? At what?”

After that, Jonathan turned to Benjamin and asked, “Benjamin, do you know what they are
talking about?”
“Yeah,” replied Benjamin calmly. He grabbed a few bites and drank with the guys again.
“I guess it all boils down to whether Boss can love Arissa enough. If he can’t, he’ll never
be the official daddy,” teased Kingsley.
Benjamin scowled at him.
“Either drink up or shut up!”
“I’ll drink. Hey, can someone get us more wine? We’re running low here.”
Kingsley was quick to get the server to bring them more wine. After that, the former
continued drinking away with Benjamin.
Arissa ignored the men since they were having fun. She focused on getting the kids to eat
right instead.
All six kids copied the men when they saw how the men were clinking their glasses before
they drank.
“Mommy, let’s clink our glasses, too!” offered Oliver.
Arissa couldn’t help smiling at that.
“Okay.”
She grabbed her glass of juice and clinked her glass with the kids’.

“Let’s drink up!”
The kids couldn’t help giggling at Arissa’s words.
“Thank you, Mommy, but we’re just pretending. We don’t actually have to drink,” said
Jasper.
Arissa reminded, “Okay. Well, don’t drink too much juice, all right? Drink more soup. It’s
healthier.”
“Okay, then we’ll drink our soup as though it’s wine! Cheers, Mommy!”
Zachary picked up his bowl and toasted Arissa before downing everything.
“Slow down! Be careful so you don’t accidentally choke,” reminded Arissa while smiling.
“Mommy, I finished my soup,” said Zachary proudly.
The other kids followed suit and drank their soup with Arissa in place of wine.
“Wait, are you only going to drink with Arissa? What about your daddy?” asked Shaun.
“But he’s drinking with you and the others, right?”
Zachary’s grin was so big that his eyes could barely be seen. “Are you drunk, Mr. Bailey?
Your face is all red.”
Kingsley laughed aloud and glanced at Shaun.
“I think Mr. Bailey is about to pass out drunk.”
“Oh, shut up. I can drink more than you at least,” replied Shaun. A short while later, he
said, “I need to use the restroom.”
“You’re not going to try to make yourself throw up, are you?” teased Kingsley.
