Chapter 716


    Chapter 716 It Was Given By Mommy


    “Mommy, he wasted the eraser by rubbing it on the table!” Oliver said. Arissa was deeply amused. Still,


    she distributed some stationery to each of them and reminded them, “If you have extras, you can share


    them with Gavin and Tim.”


    “I don’t need them. I still have a lot of these. I can share the other stationery I have with Tim, but not


    this set because Mommy bought it for me!” Gavin uttered cheerfully.


    Arissa could not help but feel touched. “Tim, this is for you!” Jesse handed her box of color pencils to


    Tim.


    “I already have a box of color pencils,” Tim said sheepishly.


    “You’ll use up them very quickly. So just take it. I still have plenty!” Jesse stuffed the box into Tim’s


    hands.


    “Thank you, Jesse!”


    Tim held the box of color pencils while gazing tenderly at his sister.


    Jesse grinned.


    Zachary gave Tim a lot of stationery as well. Arissa bought various writing materials for each of them,


    but Zachary merely took two pencils.


    “I already have—”


    “Take them. I’ll use yours after I’m through with mine,” Zachary said with a smile.


    Tim nodded. “Okay!”


    Oliver and Jasper offered their new stationery to Tim as well. In a blink of an eye, Tim had so many


    writing materials he could barely carry them with his arms.


    Still, he held all the stationery steadily, feeling touched by his siblings’ gesture.


    Oliver and Jasper chortled when they saw how Tim was struggling. Then, they helped carry some of


    the stationery Tim was holding.


    “We’ll help you carry them for now and give them to you when we’re back in the roomter.”


    Tim smiled in response.


    Arissa felt content when she saw how the other kids cared for Tim.


    Benjamin strode over when he realized all of them were still outside.


    Noticing Arissa had handed out the stationery outside the house, he asked, “Why didn’t you wait until


    you’re inside before you give them the gifts?”


    She looked at him.


    “They were impatient, so I figured I would distribute the stationery in advance.”


    Then, she turned to Tim and said, “Tim, ce the things in the shopping bag for now. I’ll bring them


    inside.”


    Tim squeezed the present in his embrace and was reluctant to let it go.


    “Put it in here. We’ll take the stationery out upstairs and arrange them into your bag,” Arissa coaxed


    him gently.


    Zachary’s eyes gleamed. “Mommy, you bought a bag for Tim?”


    Tim was staring at her with glistening eyes as well.


    Arissa tousled Tim’s hair fondly and said to him, “Your daddy’s the one who bought the bag. I only


    purchased these stationery.”


    Tim gazed at Benjamin and said softly, “Thank you, Mr. Graham.”


    Benjamin chuckled. “You’re wee.”


    Arissa turned to him. “Have Mr. Frank brought the bag over?”


    He nced at her. “I’ll ask him.”


    Benjamin took out his phone and called Ethen. Coincidentally, Ethen arrived at the gates at that


    moment. The car he was driving turned into thepound of the house.


    A glint shed across Benjamin’s eyes as he uttered, “He’s here.”


    Arissa saw the lights from the car heamp. She turned around and made sure it was indeed Ethen


    arriving before saying happily to Tim, “Sweetheart, your bag will be here soon!”


    “Okay!” Tim nodded.


    His eyes followed Ethen’s car closely.


    “Hehe, you’ll also have a bag now, Tim,” Gavin chirped while still holding on to his set of stationery.


    “Hurry up and put the things into the bag. We’ll split the items when we’re back in the roomter,”


    Arissa urged her children.


    Zachary ced the pencils into his pocket. “There’s no need to put mine into the bag.”


    Oliver and Jasper ced the stationery they were holding into the shopping bag. Then, they took the


    writing materials Tim was hugging and put them into the bag as well. “These are all Tim’s. There’s no


    need to split the thingster.”


    “Jesse, let me help you,” Jasper said to Jesse.


    “Thank you, Jasper.” Jesse was delighted.


    Jasper received the items and passed a portion of the things to Oliver. “You take some too!”


    Arissa found their interactions to beical. “All right. You can carry those by yourselves.”


    Benjamin swept his gaze over all his children. When he saw Gavin holding quite a few stationery, he


    uttered softly, “Gavin, don’t you already have a lot of stationery? Let your brothers have those.”


    Gavin red at his father. “Mommy bought these for me.”


    He was unwilling to give Arissa’s present away.

    “I’ll buy more stationery for you if you like them,” Arissa told Gavin.


    “Hehe. Thank you, Mommy!”


    Gavin was delighted. He even sneakily shot Benjamin a dirty look, rendering thetter speechless.
