The More the Merrier

Chapter 758 A Lesson

Arissa smiled at the innocent Tim and said, “You can do the same thing when you grow up too! There’s no rush now. You should study hard at your age.”

“I can’t make money yet, Ms. York. Great-grandaunt and I are using your money now, but I promise I’ll pay you back in the future!” declared Tim with conviction.

While Arissa was relieved by his sense of independence, she was also a little disappointed that Tim did not plan to rely on her and Benjamin.

Independence was an excellent trait, yet as Tim’s biological mother, she naturally could not help but wish that her children would depend on her.

She was more than happy to spoil her child rotten.

Instead, Tim was still treating her like an outsider.

Benjamin glanced at Arissa before addressing Tim, “Your mommy should be giving you and your great-grandaunt money to spend. Your parents are responsible for raising you into an adult. Don’t feel pressured to pay her back now. Once you’re all grown up with a job of your own, you have plenty of opportunities to thank her for her care!”

He also glanced at the other children and declared, “I won’t stop any of you if you plan to give your salaries to your mommy in the future!”

Zachary snickered and replied, “We can give Mommy a good life now, Mr. Graham. She doesn’t have to work so hard anymore.”

“Mm-hmm! I can pay for Mommy too. I have savings!”

Meanwhile, Gavin shot Benjamin a sidelong glance and warned, “Don’t make Mommy suffer too much. Sometimes, she’s so busy she can’t spend time with us.”

Benjamin arched a brow in response. He knew Gavin was rich, but he had no idea how the children raised by Arissa gained their wealth.
