The More The Merrier Chapter 348

Chapter 348 You Should Have It

Tenderness flashed across Benjamin’s eyes as he tilted his head to check on Arissa’s seatbelt.

Seeing that she had not buckled it, he voiced, “You kept worrying about the kids. How about yourself?”

Upon saying that, he leaned toward her and reached for the seatbelt.

The woman pressed her back close to the chair, not daring to look at him.

Her heart raced as she whiffed his scent that wafted to her nose.

When his hand brushed across her chest, she shuddered a little.

Thinking that he had touched her on purpose, she glared at him, only to see him focusing on buckling her seatbelt.

Oh, he didn’t do it deliberately.

The moment Benjamin raised his gaze, he was met by the sight of her crimson face.

A hint of delight flickered briefly in his eyes as he asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing!” Arissa avoided making eye contact with him.

Benjamin pinched her face gently before straightening his back and returning to his seat.

“Thanks!” Arissa gave him a sidelong glance.

“No problem!” Benjamin started the car and looked over his shoulder to check on the kids again.

“Sit tight!” he exhorted.

“Got it,” the five children responded without making any fuss.

They were exhausted after playing for the whole day.

With that, Benjamin drove toward the Graham residence.

Along the road, the kids started dozing off.

When Arissa noticed it, she turned around to look at them and let out a chuckle.

“Hey, hey! Don’t fall asleep! Do you hear me?” she shouted.

The five children opened their eyes.

Jesse rubbed her eyes for a while, but her eyelids soon drooped.



“Sweethearts, wake up! If you sleep now, I won’t bathe you after we get home!” Arissa warned.

Hearing that, Zachary lifted his small hands and rubbed his face. Instantly, his drowsiness faded a little.

Gavin also pinched himself to keep himself awake.

As for Oliver, he leaned against the seat sleepily and pouted. “Mommy, it’s still a long way before we reach home.

Can’t we sleep for a while?”

Jasper also tried his best to keep his eyes open. “Mommy, I feel so sleepy!”

“We will reach home soon. Don’t sleep now.” Arissa signaled Gavin to wake up the rest by wiping their faces.

“Sweetheart, wake up. Sing along with Gavin. It’s been so long since I last heard you sing!” she cooed.

Leaning against Jasper’s shoulder, Jesse would have fallen asleep again if Arissa did not call her.

Gavin took over the small handkerchief in the car and moistened it before letting his younger brothers wipe their

faces with it.

“You guys first!” Zachary had drunk some water, so he felt a little more awake then.

After Oliver finished wiping his face, he handed the handkerchief to Jasper.

Jasper wiped his face and helped Jesse with it before returning the handkerchief to Gavin.

Gavin put some more water on the handkerchief and said to Zachary, “I’ll wipe your face!”

The delighted Zachary stretched his neck out.

Gavin helped him wipe his face and then wiped his own face.

“Let’s drink some water and then sing!” Arissa was determined to have them stay awake.

“It’s okay for them to sleep awhile,” Benjamin said as he glanced at the rearview mirror.

They look really sleepy.

Arissa took a look at him. “If they fall asleep now, I will have a hard time bathing them later!”

“If they fall asleep, I will bathe them!”

The five kids became energetic upon hearing Benjamin’s words.

“We will take a bath on our own! We don’t need Mr. Graham’s help!” Zachary snorted.

“Let’s not sleep then.” Gavin turned to face his siblings and took out some candies from his pocket. “I have some

candies here. One for each! Mommy, one for you too!”



Jasper, who was sitting nearer to Arissa, took the candy and handed it to her.

She received it with a smile and asked Benjamin, “Do you want it?”

“Gavin gave it to you, so you should have it!” he replied.

His response delighted her as she had only asked him out of courtesy.

Turning around, she looked at Gavin and inquired, “Sweetheart, where did you get these candies?”

I have never seen him eat them before.

Gavin took a peep at his mother as he unwrapped the candy. “Grandpa bought them for us this morning. I haven’t

finished eating mine!”

Arissa chuckled and looked at the other four children. “Have you finished eating yours?”
