The More The Merrier Chapter 695

Chapter 695 We Still Want To Keep You Company

Edwin nodded as he observed Mary. She looks well. “Mr. Graham told me to make this soup as a tonic for you. Drink

more of it. In fact, drink it whenever you feel hungry, even if it’s not time for your meals. It helps to energize your

body.”

“I will. Sorry for the trouble!” Mary responded politely. “Not at all. I make this all the time. It doesn’t take much

effort.” Edwin smiled.

“Please make more the next time so that they can have some too, Edwin,” Arissa requested.

“Sure. I’ll make a bigger batch tomorrow. This soup is good for children too since they’re growing.”

The butler chuckled as he gazed at the children lovingly.

“You can have some too, Mrs. Graham.”

Arissa beamed in response. “It’s okay. I’m not hungry.”

Then, Edwin glanced at the time. It was past eleven, which meant it would be lunchtime soon.

“Will you be having lunch at home or outside, Mrs. Graham?”

“I’ll just eat here at the hospital.”

“Very well. I’ll go to the kitchen and have the staff prepare the meal. What do you feel like having?”



Arissa was tickled. “Just get me anything since we’re eating outside of the house, Edwin. You can put more care into

my meals when we’re at home. Right now, just do whatever that’s convenient!”

“That can’t do. You should be eating whatever you feel like eating!” the man insisted light-heartedly.

He then asked Mary what she wanted to eat.

The elderly woman told him she would have anything he got her.

“You can order food at the hospital, Mr. Whitley?”

Jesse gazed up at him, full of curiosity.

“Certainly!” answered Edwin as he turned to the six children. “What do you all feel like having?”

Zachary grinned. “How about we come with you?”

There’s also food at the hospital cafeteria.

“Sure! I’ll wait for you.”



Edwin then sat in a corner and waited for the children to finish their soup.

Seeing that, the children finished it as quickly as possible.

“Hurry up, Tim! We’ll be following Mr. Whitley!”

Jasper was exhilarated, although the food was not what he looked forward to most. He just wanted to take a stroll.

“I’ll just have whatever Mr. Whitley gets me. I don’t have to go,” Tim commented sheepishly.

“Don’t say that, Tim! We’ll be taking a stroll while checking out the food!”

Jasper beamed at him.

“Let’s go together,” Zachary chimed in.

“Let’s head out together. We won’t be out too long,” Gavin added.

“Run along now,” Arissa urged with a smile.

Then, she washed some fruits for Mary.

“Why all the trouble? I’ll just have a quick hospital meal set. The rest of you should eat somewhere else, then go

home and rest,” Mary proposed.

“But we still want to keep you company,” Arissa responded cheerfully. “In fact, I would’ve prepared you a meal

before coming over if I hadn’t overslept.”

“That’s too troublesome.” Mary shook her head.

Arissa merely smiled and placed the clean fruits on the bedside table.

After the children finished their soup, Edwin cleaned up and took them to the hospital cafeteria.

Meanwhile, Arissa continued to chat with Mary.

During that time, Shaun dropped by to examine the elderly woman before heading out for lunch as well.

“Aren’t you eating with us, Mr. Bailey? Edwin’s gone to get some food.”

“I can’t. I’m going to the cafeteria for lunch now. I have a meeting at one,” he replied with a smile.

If not for the meeting, he would have taken her up on her offer.

Arissa nodded in understanding. “Okay, go on then. We’ll be having our lunch later than you.”

As soon as Shaun left, Edwin returned with the children—all of whom had a sausage in their hands.

They had gotten Arissa one too.



“This is for you, Ms. York!”

The children had Tim give it to her, and she took it merrily.

“Thank you, Sweetheart!”

“Mr. Whitley bought these for us,” Tim explained, glancing at Edwin.

Arissa turned to him too. “I’ll get Benjamin to give you a pay raise tonight, Edwin,” she quipped.

Edwin let out a chuckle.

“That would be nice, although treating the children to some snacks isn’t going to burn a hole in my wallet!”
