Chapter 739 Arissa Is Worried About The Children
Zachary patted his brother’s head with a mysterious look in his eyes. “That’s because you have been bullied in school!” Tim was pleased to hear that.
“Don’t worry, Tim. Daddy is a director in the school. The school won’t dare to give him any problems. Once Daddy and Mommy find out about this, Mr. William will be the one in trouble instead!” Gavin explained to Tim. Tim felt very guilty because he thought he had caused others around him lots of trouble.
“I’m sorry.” “You don’t have to apologize. This has nothing to do with you,” Zachary consoled him.
“That’s right, Tim. Don’t blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you at all,” Oliver chimed in. “If you punish yourself because of other people’s mistakes, Mommy will be worried about you.”
With that, Jasper patted his head. “Tim, don’t worry about it. We won’t let Mommy know.”
Jesse glanced at Tim and continued, “In the past, we used to cause troubles in school too. Mommy will punish us. But, this time around, we aren’t at fault. They are the ones causing trouble. If Mommy finds out, she will be very upset that you have been bullied by others.”
The children were all trying to console Tim.
In the meantime, Arissa was completely immersed in her work when she suddenly thought of the children.
She wondered how they were getting on in school.
After checking the time and realizing that school was still ongoing, she suppressed the urge of giving the children a call. Instead, she carried on working.
When noon arrived and there was still no sign of Benjamin, she stopped working and rushed to the school.
It was Tim’s first day at school. Thus, Arissa was worried that he might not be used to it.
The six children were thrilled to see her.
“Mommy!”
“Mommy!”
“Ms. York!”
All six children greeted her and threw themselves into her arms.
She was glad and relieved to see all of them. After bending down to give them a hug, she spoke in a sweet and soft tone. “My sweethearts, did you miss me?”
“Yes!” the children shouted.
With a smile, Arissa hugged and kissed them. “I missed all of you too!”
She was satisfied and contented when she caught a whiff of their milky scents.
“Mommy, what are you doing here?” asked Zachary as he grinned at her.
Gavin shook his head. “Mommy, I’m not hungry. We had the breakfast that you prepared for us this morning and also the food in school. We aren’t hungry. You should eat instead!”
“Well then, help yourselves to whatever you like.”
Arissa attended to the children before helping herself to the pasta.
Zachary, Tim and the rest of them all ate a little.
Once in a while, they would put some food on Arissa’s plate. The lovely atmosphere at their table attracted quite a bit of attention.
“Sweethearts, did anything happen in school today?” she asked with concern.
The children paused for a moment before answering in unison, “Nothing!”
Arissa smiled and asked Tim, “Sweetheart, how was your first day at school? Are you getting used to it?”
“Yes!”
Tim did not dare to speak much, for fear he would say something he shouldn’t.
“Did anyone bully you?” asked Arissa anxiously.
