The More the Merrier

Chapter 1004

Tim shook his head in response to Arissa's question. He did not feel nervous until he set foot in the crowded Old Manor. Feeling unsettled, he plastered himself to Arissa for reassurance.

Noticing her son's distress, Arissa hugged him and coaxed, “It's all right. Just stay close to Daddy and me. Gavin, Zachary, and the others will always be nearby too. Don't worry about anyone else!”

It was normal for Tim to grow nervous as he had never seen such a large crowd.

Tim flushed with anxiety and asked, “Aren't you nervous, Mommy?”

Arissa smiled supportively and replied, “I wasn't nervous earlier, but you know what? I'm suddenly a bit nervous now!”

“Mommy! Now I feel a bit nervous too!” muttered Oliver in embarrassment.

He fidgeted and adjusted his glasses.

Benjamin looked at his family and asked, “Are you all ready?”

Their trailer had pulled up to the Old Manor some time ago. Kingsley and the driver had alighted, and Benjamin stayed behind to make sure his children and Arissa felt prepared for the meeting.

“I am!” Arissa said with a smile.

That earned her a dubious look from Benjamin, who teased, “Somehow, I get the feeling that you're the most nervous one in this car”!

“I'm not!” Arissa refuted, though a blush tinged her cheeks in protest.
