Chapter 707 Is My Dad Still Crying
“Haha! You weren’t even born yet when I was weeding!” Arissa replied while laughing. Jasper snorted in frustration.
“I was talking about them! Besides, I won’t believe you until I see you weed, Mommy!”
“All right, then. I’ll bring you all to Rutaceae Village once your great-grandaunt is all better. You kids had better not
complain about weeding being exhausting, okay?” Arissa replied with a grin.
“We don’t need to go all the way to Rutaceae Village for that, Mommy! We have a garden in our backyard,
remember? Mr. Whitley often does the weeding there!”
“Oh, you’re right! I can’t believe I forgot about that! I’ll let you kids try out weeding when we have the time, then.”
“Don’t forget to buy us straw hats, Mommy!” Jesse reminded her.
“No problem. I’ll provide you kids with all the stuff you need. From now on, you’ll all be in charge of weeding the

A look of confidence appeared on Tim’s face when he heard that. “Okay! I’m really good at weeding!”
Arissa patted him on the head. “Great! Make sure you teach them all how to do it, okay?”
Tim nodded. “I will!”
Arissa gave him another kiss on the forehead. “All right. Now, stop talking and go to sleep, all of you.”
While glancing at each of the kids, she noticed that Oliver still had his glasses on and reached out to remove them.
“Thanks, Mommy,” Oliver said with a giggle.
Arissa gave him a pinch on the cheek. “Go to sleep now.”
The kids then closed their eyes obediently and slept soundly in her arms.
Arissa felt a warm sensation in her heart as she pulled a blanket over them and watched them sleep.
Right when she was finally feeling a little sleepy and began dozing off, her phone started ringing all of a sudden.
Not wanting to let it wake the kids up, she quickly answered the phone.
“Is my dad still crying?”
It took Arissa a few seconds to realize it was Benjamin calling.
“No,” she replied.
“Were you sleeping?” Benjamin asked after a brief pause.
“Yeah. The kids are asleep too. Is there anything else you’d like to talk about?” she said calmly.
“No, that’ll be all. You can carry on sleeping,” Benjamin replied and hung up the phone.
Arissa frowned. Didn’t he ask me to take care of the situation myself? Why would he ask me about it after
everything is over? He should call Old Mr. Graham himself if he’s that worried about him!
She then put the phone away and tried to get some shuteye.

The first thing Tim saw when he woke up was Arissa sleeping soundly next to him.
Not wanting to wake her up, he made sure to be extra gentle when turning his head. His lips curled into a smile
when he saw his siblings sleeping soundly next to him.
It’s so nice to finally have a mommy and siblings!
With that in mind, Tim continued staring at them until he dozed off again.
Zachary was the next to wake up. Seeing as everyone else was still asleep, he cautiously climbed out of bed to
wash up in the restroom before leaving the lounge.
Edwin had already woken up a while ago and was preparing afternoon tea at the time.
“Come have some snacks, Zachary,” he greeted Zachary warmly upon seeing him.
“Thank you, Mr. Whitley,” Zachary said as he made his way over.
“Don’t mention it. It’s my pleasure to prepare this meal for you all. Are you the only one awake?”
“Yeah. Mommy and the others are still asleep. Do you think Mr. Graham likes my mommy, Mr. Whitley?” Zachary
asked curiously as he sat down on the couch.
Edwin’s eyes lit up as he asked, “What about you, little guy? Do you think he likes your mommy?”
