Chapter 727 Jesse Is Cuter Than Her Brothers
“We’re still waiting for Mommy, so you can continue to talk to Great-grandaunt,” Gavin said. Tim shook his head shyly and replied, “It’s okay. I already hung up.”
After all, it would cost money to talk over the phone. “Tim, you don’t have to worry about Great-grandaunt. Mr. Bailey will take good care of her. You just need to focus on your studies,” Benjamin assured his son when he saw that he was quiet.
“All right,” Tim said with a nod. Since they were still waiting for Arissa, Benjamin sat down on the couch, facing the six of them.
“Call me or your mommy if you guys need anything at school. Behave yourselves and obey the school rules,” he reminded them.
The six children nodded obediently.
“Drink some water before you guys leave.”
Speaking, Benjamin got up to pour each of them a glass of water.
The children drank their water obediently while they waited for Arissa.
“Uncle Kingsley?” one of them cried out suddenly.
Kingsley, who had just finished his rounds, came into the house covered in sweat. He was panting heavily. The children were surprised to see him there.
“What happened to you? Why are you drenched?” Oliver questioned.
Kingsley smiled as he came over to the table, drinking from the glass of water closest to him. In fact, he quaffed down two glasses in a go without even asking whose those glasses of water were.
After catching his breath, he finally said, “Look at me. I’m exhausted. Poor me, right?”
Feeling puzzled, the children looked at him and then at one another. “Yeah,” they replied in unison.
Kingsley then glared at Benjamin in dissatisfaction.
Benjamin was sitting on the couch as he glanced back at Kingsley without saying a word.
That was enough to shut Kingsley up.
He smiled as he looked at the six children, who were dressed immaculately in their uniforms and were all seated in upright positions on the couch.
The smile on his face deepened. He felt an urge to just pinch their chubby cheeks.
Kingsley took a seat beside Jesse.
When Jesse saw Kingsley sitting down on the couch, she quickly distanced herself.
“Mr. Watts, you’re so dirty. Don’t come near us.”
Gavin frowned and spoke his mind brazenly.
Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper simply pinched their noses and remained silent.
Kingsley was heartbroken when he saw how the kids were disgusted by him.
When he realized that Tim was the only one who did not react the same way, he felt he was somewhat comforted.
“Why are your clothes wet?” Tim could not help but ask Kingsley when he saw the latter looking at him.
The man sighed.
“Well, your daddy is the one to blame. He made me run for fifty rounds!” Kingsley complained, lying down on the couch.
Gavin and Zachary were shocked.
“Fifty rounds?” Jasper exclaimed.
“That’s forty kilometers!”
Kingsley smiled helplessly, secretly shooting a glare at Benjamin, who was having coffee nonchalantly.
Benjamin put down his cup, and that action of his caused Kingsley to flinch.
He took that as a warning to stop blaming Benjamin, so he turned toward the kids instead.
“So, you guys are going to school?”
“Yes!” Jesse nodded. “We had taken breakfast. What about you? Have you had your breakfast?”
Kingsley felt the girl was very kind to ask. “No, I haven’t. Do you have some food for me?”
Jesse looked at the lethargic man and pitied him, so she passed him a plate of fruits on the coffee table.
“I’ll ask Mr. Whitley if there’s any food available.”
“Thank you! You’re an angel, Jesse!” Kingsley remarked with a teary look on his face.
The girl ran into the kitchen to look for the butler.
Kingsley’s gaze trailed the girl, and a smile crept over his lips.
He thought that Jesse was way cuter than her brothers.
Opposite Kingsley, Benjamin glared at him and then looked toward the staircase.
Why is Arissa taking so long?
“I’ll go get your mommy,” he said to the children, getting up from his seat.
The five children wanted to follow as well, but Kingsley stopped them.
“You guys had better not go, or your dad will be very angry,” he noted.
“No, he won’t!” Gavin retorted, but he still sat back on the couch as he was told.
Kingsley laughed. What a prideful child.
“Well, you can try if you don’t believe me.”
