The More The Merrier

Chapter 694 You Can Have Mine

“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’ll 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’ll 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’ll wait for Zachary and the others to return first!”

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

Arissa 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.
