Chapter 308 He Cannot Bear To Let You Go

"Come! Let's go in!" Benjamin called to Arissa.

She glanced at him before ushering the children into the house.

"Sweethearts, let's go in!"

"Mommy!"

All five kids fought to hold her hands. Those who did not manage to grab hold of her hands tugged at her clothes instead.

It was difficult for Arissa to walk properly, and she smiled as she looked at the five of them.

Kingsley grinned in amusement. "The five of you are so clingy with your mommy!"

The five children snorted at him in a proud yet adorable manner.

Benjamin glanced at Kingsley. "What are you still doing here?"

Kingsley smiled. "I have nothing to do if I go back so early. I might as well stay here and play with the little ones." Sweeping Jesse into his arms, he then pinched her cheeks playfully. "Jesse, do you want to come and play at my house?" "No!" the little girl replied with an adorable lisp.

Kingsley smiled and continued to tease Jesse, "I have lots of fun things in my house and also lots of delicious food to eat!"

"Uncle Kingsley, don't lie to Jesse. There's nothing in your house to play with, and the food isn't nice either!" Gavin exposed Kingsley's antics.

Uncle Kingsley is so lazy that he doesn't even have any food in his fridge. All he has is mineral water.

"Well, I can buy some food from the supermarket later on!" said Kingsley as he grinned at Gavin. Arissa chuckled. "If you want to take Jesse back with you, you'll have to take the rest of them as well."

Kingsley's eyes lit up. "Do all of you want to come over to my place?"

Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper looked at Kingsley and pouted.

They chorused, "Gavin said that your house has nothing. Uncle Kingsley, stop trying to lure us there! We won't go anywhere without Mommy!" Kingsley did not know what to say. "Okay then. Why don't we bring your mommy along too?"

"Kingsley!"

Before any one of the children could say anything, Benjamin called out in a warning tone.

Kingsley smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm only joking!"

"If you talk any more rubbish, I'll kill you!"

Kingsley immediately shut his mouth.

Once Benjamin had walked away, Kingsley whispered to Arissa, "See? He cannot bear to let you go."

Arissa was startled.

"I doubt it."

She then took the children into the house.

Kingsley smiled as he watched the two of them walk away. He then carried Jesse into the house too.

After playing with them for a while, he left.

Kingsley had wanted to stay the night, but Benjamin did not seem to like it.

"Sweethearts, it's time to go upstairs and have your baths. Then off to bed you go," Arissa ordered.

At those words, the five children kept their toys and followed her.

"Mommy, will you be the one bathing me?" asked Jesse as she grabbed her mother's hand.

"Yes, I will."

She pinched Jesse's cheeks and asked, "At Grandpa's house, did you take your own bath, or did someone do it for you?" "Hehe! I did it myself!" Jesse smiled happily at her.

"Clever girl!"

Arissa looked at her four sons and asked, "All of you bathed yourselves too?"

"Yes!" Gavin nodded.

Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper all nodded as well.

"Grandpa wanted to bathe us, but we didn't let him!"

"That's good." Arissa was happy that her children did not trouble Darius. "All of you are great kids."

She rubbed their heads and said, "Go on then!"

The four boys looked at her before running upstairs.

Arissa followed behind them with Jesse in tow.

"Mommy, hurry up!" shouted Jasper as he reached the second floor.

Arissa made fun of him, "Why do you want me to hurry up? Do you want me to give you a bath?"

"No way!"

Jasper blushed and dashed into the bedroom, causing Arissa to chuckle at his antics.
