The More the Merrier novel Chapter 706

Chapter 706 Nothing To Be Ashamed Of

Zachary nodded. “That’s right. It all depends on how well he treats you, Mommy. He hasn’t even proposed to you yet, so you mustn’t fall for any of his tricks! Just because a man marries you doesn’t necessarily mean he loves you. For all we know, he could just be putting up an act!”

Arissa didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when she heard that. “What you said does make sense, but where are you kids getting all this information? Did you read them off the internet or something?”

“We were just doing some research, Mommy,” Oliver replied with a mischievous giggle.

“Stop reading that nonsense, or I’ll confiscate your phone,” Arissa warned him sternly.

Jesse seized the opportunity to rat them out.

“They were playing video games on their phones, Mommy!”

Arissa shot them a stern glare and said, “Kids like you shouldn’t be on your phones so much! It’s bad for your eyes! Gavin, I want you to supervise them and make sure they don’t spend too much time on their phones.”

“Okay!” Gavin nodded.

“Can we teach Tim how to use his phone, Mommy?”

“You may, but make sure to game in moderation. You are only allowed to game for half an hour per day, okay? I don’t want you kids getting addicted to it.”

Arissa had to set a strict limit for them, or they would surely go overboard with it.

“We only game occasionally, Mommy,” Jasper protested.

Arissa pinched him on the cheek. “Says the one who spends the most of his time gaming!”

Jasper let out a mischievous giggle in response.

Arissa then shifted her gaze toward Tim as she asked, “Do you know how to make phone calls yet?”

“I do. Gavin, Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper have been teaching me how to do it! They even taught me how to send voice messages!” Tim replied while showing his newly acquired skills to Arissa.

“Do you have your own phone number yet, Sweetheart? Could you tell me what it is?”

She was shocked to find out that Tim’s phone had a SIM card installed.

“Yeah, but I don’t know the number,” Tim mumbled awkwardly.

“Daddy did it for him last night, Mommy,” Gavin said.

Tim lowered his head and buried his face in Arissa’s chest as he mumbled, “F-Farming…”

Of course… It’s common for kids in villages to help their families out at the farm.

With that in mind, Arissa patted him on the head and said, “Farming is nothing to be ashamed of, Sweetheart. You’re making an honest living with your own two hands, and that’s something to take pride in. I’m really proud of you for helping your family out, Tim!”

Tim’s eyes lit up as he looked up at Arissa, who gave him a kiss on the forehead.

“Hey, Tim! You must be really good at weeding, right? I’ve never been able to pull them out of the ground!” Jasper asked.

“We usually use a hoe for weeding, but we do use our hands from time to time. It’ll be a lot easier if you wear gloves when weeding with your hands. It’ll keep your hands safe from cuts,” Tim replied.

“Teach me how to weed when we get back to Rutaceae Village! I want to try farming too!” Jasper said excitedly.

“Be careful not to end up pulling the entire village out of the ground!” Arissa teased him with a chuckle.

Gavin and the others burst out laughing when they heard that.

What are you all laughing at me for? It’s not like you guys know how to weed either!” Jasper exclaimed with his face red from embarrassment.
