“Jesse, you can ask for my help if you can't reach it,” Ethen

said in a doting tone.

Grinning at him, Jesse replied, “I wanted to take some for Tim.

Thank you, Mr. Frank.”

Then, she passed it to Tim.

Tim turned to her and said gently, “Thank you, Jesse.”

“You're welcome! You should eat more, Tim.”

“Sure!”

Everyone beamed when they saw how well the six children got

along.

The sight of the six cute kids sitting together was too adorable

for words.

After lunch, Arissa brought Mary to the latter's room to rest.

The children tagged along and helped to make the bed.

“All right. You should go and rest too,” Mary urged after lying

down on the bed.

Avrissa pulled the covers over the older woman and led the

children out of the room.

“Come on, Sweethearts. Let's go upstairs and rest.”

Tim glanced at her. He wanted to stay with Mary.

“Ms. York, can | sleep here with Great-grandaunt?”

Crouching down next to him, Arissa said gently, “She needs to

rest. If you're here, she won't be able to sleep well.”

“That's right, Tim. You'll distract her if you stay. Come and

sleep with us upstairs. You haven't explored the rooms

upstairs yet!” Jesse persuaded, tugging at Tim's hand.

Pulling at Tim's other hand, Gavin added,

“Yes, let's go upstairs. The help will be here to take care of

Great-grandaunt, so don't worry.”

Just then, Edwin walked over with a housekeeper. “You don't

have to worry, Ms. York. I've asked someone to keep watch at

the door and attend to Mdm. Mary if she needs anything.”

Arissa nodded.

“Tim, let's go upstairs and rest. Is that okay?” she asked,

wanting to hear what he thought.

Tim bit his lip. He wanted to go upstairs, but he was also

worried about Mary.

Perhaps it was because he was in an unfamiliar place and was

still not used to it.

Sighing, Arissa caressed his head and led him into the room.

“In that case, why don't you sleep here with your great-

grandaunt first, okay?”

“Thank you, Ms. York!" he answered, looking up at her.

Smiling at him tenderly while patting his head fondly, she

responded, “You're welcome.”

“What's the matter?”

Hearing their voices, Mary raised herself slightly while in bed

and looked down.

“Tim wants to sleep here with you. He's probably still not used

to it,” Arissa said with a smile.

Mary broke into a grin and motioned for Tim to climb onto the

bed. “Come on over, Tim. Sleep next to me.”

Nodding, Tim hurried over at once.

Gavin and the other kids exchanged glances, then ran over as

well.

“Great-grandaunt, can we sleep with you too?”

Taken aback Mary turned toward Arissa.

Gazing at the five children and thinking that it would be better

for them to accompany Tim, Arissa did not object.

“You can stay, but remember not to disturb Great-grandaunt

while she's resting.”

The children nodded.

“Get into bed quickly and get some rest,” Arissa urged, a smile

tugging at her lips.

The five children climbed onto the bed and lay next to Tim.

After tucking them in, Arissa waited for a while before leaving

the room.

‘When Benjamin came out of the study and saw no sign of the

children, he asked, “Where are the kids?”

“They're inside Grandaunt's room. They wanted to sleep with

her,” Arissa answered.

His eyes flicked toward the room.

Glancing at him, she continued, “It was Tim who wanted to

sleep with her, then Gavin and the others clamored to stay

too.”

Benjamin murmured an acknowledgment, then said to the

housekeeper, “Take good care of them.”

“Yes, Mr. Graham.”

Turning to Shaun, he asked, “Do you need to check on

Grandaunt now?”

“That's all right. I'll check on her after she wakes up and

administers a shot.”

Benjamin nodded, then grabbed Arissa's hand. “Let's go

upstairs and rest.”

Kingsley, Shaun, and Ethen widened their eyes, their curiosity

piqued.

Arissa nodded at the trio and followed Benjamin upstairs, her

cheeks flushed scarlet.

Once they were upstairs, she freed her hand from his and said

stiffly, “Good afternoon, Graham.”

With that, she turned and went to the kids' room.

Benjamin stared at her coldly as she walked away, then strode

forward and followed her.
