Chapter 304 Be Good To Mommy
“Is the pasta already finished?”
Surprised, Kingsley turned toward the kitchen and shouted, “Edwin, why did you cook so little pasta
today?”
“It’s more because of your large appetite today. In fact, you have already wolfed down a few plates,
while the others haven’t even had their seconds yet,” Edwin replied without revealing that it was Arissa
that cooked the pasta.
“Grandpa, it’s probably my fault for cooking too little.”
Looking at Darius, Gavin admitted his mistake to avoid Edwin getting blamed for it.
“You did?” Darius was astounded.
Gavin nodded. “Mmm-hmm, I was responsible for cooking the pasta.”
“I had a hand in it too!”
Oliver chuckled gleefully. “We cooked it together!”
Arissa looked at the two children with an embarrassed expression.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I allowed them to do it and wasn’t used to the measuring cup. Hence, I made a rough estimate and
ended up cooking lesser than expected.”
Darius grinned. “No worries. It’s my fault for not informing you of my arrival in advance. Or else, you
would’ve had enough food to go around.”
Subsequently, Darius looked at the two kids with pride. “That aside, I’m impressed that the children
know how to cook pasta now.”
Arissa glanced at Darius. He doesn’t mind them doing chores?
“Hehe, Grandpa, we even know how to wash vegetables.”
Jesse began relating to Darius excitedly.
“Zachary knows how to cook oatmeal porridge, while Jasper and Oliver have learned how to cook with
a pan.”
“Kids, all of you are awesome! Nevertheless, you have to be careful when you cook.”
Even though he was concerned for their safety, Darius was impressed that his grandchildren now knew
how to do the chores. They were unlike his other relatives where the children didn’t know how to do
any despite being grown-ups.
“Grandpa, don’t worry. We only work on the simple stuff. As for anything more complex, we will only do
it under Mommy’s supervision. Mommy has also constantly reminded us to not touch electrical
appliances unnecessarily,” Zachary explained.
“Good, good!” Darius nodded.
Looking at how smart the children were behaving, Darius’ heart warmed.
Meanwhile, Benjamin raised his gaze at the quintuplets, as he too was shocked that they knew how to
cook.
He then turned to Arissa.
“Aren’t you worried when they cook?”
“When I’m not at home, they only cook pasta, nothing else. Instead of telling them to stay away from
everything, I might as well teach them,” Arissa explained.
Nevertheless, Benjamin still felt that it was dangerous. After all, most of the tools in the kitchen were
electrical appliances.
When Arissa saw that he remained unconvinced, she didn’t elaborate any further.
Even though Darius had his concerns, he was cognizant of how tough it was for Arissa to raise children
alone.
Hence, he couldn’t resist giving her some encouragement.
“Issa, you have taught them well!”
The children didn’t grow up spoiled. Even at Darius’ place, they would always wash up their cups after
using them.
Moreover, they also appreciated the efforts of others.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I hardly taught them anything. Most of the time, they just follow my example,” Arissa replied with a
smile.
Nonetheless, Darius knew that she was just being humble. There was no way any child would grow up
to be so sensible without their parent’s guidance.
Consequently, he was certain that she had put a lot of effort into it.
“It must have been really tough raising all of them alone.”
“It’s all right,” Arissa answered with a smile without adding anything further.
After looking at Arissa, Jasper turned toward Darius and related, “It wasn’t easy for Mommy. Not only
does she have to care for us, but she also has to make a living.”
Darius nodded. “You’re right. Therefore, when all of you grow up, you’ll have to treat Mommy well.”
“Mmm-hmm!”
Nodding in unison, the children beamed at Arissa.
“When we grow up, we will take care of you, Mommy!”
Arissa was moved beyond belief. “Thank you, sweethearts!”
Even though the children often said such words to her, she was still touched every time she heard
them.
Meanwhile, Benjamin raised his brow at the quintuplets.
Do they not intend to take care of me when I’m old?
