Chapter 719 I Want To Shower With Them
“Then should I pack you another one?” Arissa asked. “No. This is the only one I’m bringing,” the girl replied while shaking her head. Since there was nothing Arissa could do with her, she went on to check on Gavin. She was impressed that the boy had arranged his things immaculately.
“Gavin’s a good boy. Everything in his schoolbag looks neat!” A big smile broke out on Gavin’s face.
“I rearranged everything just now.”
Arissa caressed his head lovingly and turned to look at Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse.
“Make sure you guys learn from Gavin, all right? Look at his schoolbag. Everything inside is well laid out.”
The children, including Tim, went over to see for themselves if that was true. What they saw took their breath away.
It was as if Gavin’s schoolbag was one of those displayed in a shop.
“Everything’s so neat!” His siblings could not help but compliment him. “You’re so good at it, Gavin.”
Looking at the impressed lot, Arissa and Edwin could not help but smile.
“All right, children. It’s time to shower and go to bed. You guys have to be up by half-past six tomorrow for school,” Arissa instructed as she went over to the dressing room to get their pajamas.
“Gavin.”
“Thanks, Mommy,” the boy replied politely, taking his clothes from his mother.
“Tim.” Arissa handed the pajama over to Tim.
The child quickly ran over. “Thanks, Ms. York!”
“Zachary and Oliver!”
Arissa handed them their clothes in two hands.
“Jasper?” Arissa turned toward him.
“Thank you, Mommy!”
“Okay! Shower time!” she said.
Edwin brought the boys into the bathroom and filled the bathtub with water.
After settling the boys, Arissa took Jesse’s pajama and went to another bathroom with her.
“Mommy, can I shower with them?”
“Well… Okay!”
Arissa put down Jesse’s pajama and brought her to the first bathroom. The boys were startled when they saw Arissa and Jesse.
“What are y’all looking at? I’m bringing Jesse’s foldable tub here.”
She asked the girl to wait for her and went off.
Edwin was tidying up the bedroom when he saw Arissa walking in.
“The boys refused to let me help,” the butler informed.
Arissa laughed. “Well, they don’t let me either. Just leave them be. You should go get some rest, Edwin. I’ll tuck the children in after they’re done showering.”
“Sure. I’ll get them some milk then.”
“Sounds great.” Arissa nodded as she walked back toward the bathroom.
The six children were having a jolly good time in the bathroom when she got back. The five boys made bubbles on their heads with the shampoo and then did the same for their sister.
“Stop doing that! It’s gonna get in your eyes!” Arissa warned.
They laughed and washed the shampoo away when they were scolded.
Arissa pulled Jesse over and put her on her lap. She lowered the girl’s head so she could clean her hair.
“Close your eyes.”
Jesse closed her eyes, smiling. Meanwhile, Arissa kept eyeing the boys to make sure they were not up to any mischief.
“You okay, Tim?” she asked. “Do you know how to clean your hair?”
“Yes!” the boy said confidently.
Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper knew how to clean themselves.
When Arissa saw that Gavin was cleaning himself adeptly, she was relieved.
“Be quick. Don’t catch a cold,” Arissa reminded.
“Yes, Mommy!”
They quickly washed off the shampoo from their hair before entering the bathtub.
Then, they scrubbed one another’s backs.
Arissa was glad to see that the boys were helping one another.
“Let’s see who’s the fastest!” Jesse suddenly shouted.
“You’re bathed by Mommy, so you’re gonna be the last for sure, Jesse,” Zachary joked.
“But I’ll be the cleanest among all of you,” Jesse said begrudgingly.
“Well, we soap and shower properly too!”
Jesse ignored the boys. “Mommy, hurry up.”
Arissa smiled at the girl. “Yes, Jesse.”
As requested, Arissa cleaned the girl and helped her put on her clothes. When the boys were done, she put on their pajamas for them as well.
