“Sure, but finish yours first.”

After feeding Mary a bowl of soup, Arissa glanced into the

container to check out the remaining portion.

Since the children were craving the soup, she served them a

bowl for the three of them to share.

“Here. You'll be sharing the soup, Sweethearts. If you like it, I'l

get Mr. Whitley to make more next time. But for now, this is all

you can have. Leave the rest for Great-grandaunt, okay?”

The three boys nodded fervently, thrilled to be able to drink the

soup.

“I'l go and get Jesse and the rest, Mommy!"

After taking a few sips, Zachary turned and left.

Arissa smiled as she continued feeding Gavin and Tim the

soup.

“Slowly, now. It's hot.”

“I'l wait for Zachary and the others to return first!”

Tim stepped aside, refusing to have any more of the soup.

Avrissa smiled at him. “It's okay. You two can have this. I'll serve

them another bowl.”

Only then did the boy take a few sips.

Seeing how much the boys enjoyed the soup, Mary said to

Arissa, “Let them have the rest. I'm okay with not drinking it!"

The latter turned to face her and replied, “No, Grandaunt.

‘You're the one who needs it more than they do! It's fine if they

don't get to drink it.”

The elderly woman chuckled.

“Since they like it, let them have more!”

“Okay, I'll do that,” Arissa responded before scooping another

bowl of soup and letting Timmy drink it on his own.

She then grabbed a different bowl and gave Gavin a serving of

the soup.

That bowl we smaller, so there was enough soup to fill

another four bowls of the same type.

“Sit there and drink your soup.”

“Mommy, will Great-grandaunt have enough if you serve us a

bowl each?”

Gavin eyed his mother, worried that there would not be

enough for Mary.

“Yes,” Arissa answered while stroking his head.

At that moment, Zachary returned with Oliver, Jasper, and

Jesse.

“Hi, Mommy! Is there something tasty here?”

Leaning over, Jasper began to salivate when he smelled a rich

aroma.

Oliver grinned from ear to ear. “It looks like there's more good

food!”

Jesse giggled upon noticing Gavin and Tim drinking soup

while sitting at the side. “Did Mr. Whitley bring this over?”

“Yes, he did. Go sit where Gavin is, all of you. I'll bring you

your soup.”

Avrissa did not want them to walk around in case they stepped

oon some broken glass shards that were not cleaned earlier.

“I'l help you, Mommy.”

Zachary carried two bowls.

“Be careful,” Arissa exhorted.

She then brought the remaining two bowls to the coffee table.

“Wait for it to cool, okay?”

However, the children could not wait any longer. Oliver and

Jasper sat on the floor, and with their

elbows pressed against the coffee table, they began to drink

their soup.

“Mmm! It's yummy!”

Seeing her bothers sit on the floor, Jesse did the same.

Zachary took a seat next to her.

Tim was sitting on the couch with Gavin, but after seeing

everyone else sitting on the floor, he followed suit and sat next

to Zachary.

Eventually, Gavin felt it was pointless sitting on the couch by

himself, so he moved to the carpet too.

The six children looked adorable sitting around the coffee table

and drinking their soup.

The sounds they made gave the impression that they were

having the best meal in the world.

Avrissa's lips curved at that sight.

She then moved all the other things on top of the coffee table

elsewhere to give the children more room.

“Aren't you drinking any, Mommy?”

Oliver lifted his head to look at her.

His mother shook her head. “I'm good. You guys can go

ahead. Remember, just one bowl. The rest is

for Great-grandaunt, okay?”

The children nodded in unison.

“Has Great-grandaunt had any?”

Jasper darted a glance in Mary's direction.

“She just had a bowl. I'll serve her another one later,” Arissa

answered, smiling.

“I've already had some just now, so you can have the rest of

mine, Ms. York,” offered Tim as he gazed up at her.

He wanted her to have some.

“Thank you, Tim!" she replied, pinching his little face. “But it's

okay. I'll be eating soon, and I'm not hungry yet.”

“Have some fruit then, Mommy,” Gavin called out to her before

shifting his attention back to his soup.

Edwin arrived at that moment, and a doting smile formed on

his lips as he saw the children enjoying their soup together.

“Did you have some too, Mdm. Mary?”

“I had a bowl just now.” Mary was all smiles.
