NovelEnglishIt was almost nightfall when Arissa regained consciousness.
What is going on?
She lay in bed for a long while before she registered her
surroundings.
Avrissa reached out for her phone to check the time. She
widened her eyes in shock when she saw it was almost six in
the evening.
| was asleep for that long?
She had slept for four hours as she fell asleep at one just now.
Avrissa quickly scrambled to her feet, freshened up, and
changed into a fresh set of clothes before heading downstairs.
She headed straight for Mary's room. However, Mary and the
kids were not in the room.
They're not in the living room either. Where are they?
“Ms. York, you're awake!”
Edwin greeted warmly when he saw her.
Arissa smiled when she saw that it was Edwin. “Edwin, where
is Grandaunt and the kids?"
Could they have gone out?
“Gavin took Mdm. Mary and everyone else out for a walk in the
garden!” Edwin replied with a smile.

Arissa nodded.
“I'l go get them, Ms. York. It's almost time for dinner. Can you
go get Mr. Graham?”
Edwin then turned around and left to get Mary and the kids.
Avrissa felt a little embarrassed as all she did that day was eat
and sleep.
She directed her gaze toward the study and decided against
calling Benjamin for dinner as she recalled what he did before
she fell asleep.
Arissa turned around and followed Edwin out
the door.
She caught sight of Mary and the six kids by the lake,
surrounded by plenty of housekeepers and bodyguards.
No wonder there isn't a single soul in the house.
Arissa smiled and made her way over.
“Mommy!”
“Mommy's awake!”
Oliver and Jesse squealed in delight when they saw Arissa.
With that, the kids, including Tim, rushed toward her.
“Mommy!”
“Ms. York!”
“Hey!”
Arissa greeted them with an affectionate smile.
She pulled Gavin, Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse into her
arms as Tim stood by and watched bashfully.
“Come here, Sweetheart!” Arissa waved him over with a smile.
Tim gave her a look before inching over.
Arissa hugged all six of them, feeling satisfied.
“Sweethearts, when did you get up?”
“Mommy, we woke up at around three!” Jesse smiled.
“Mommy overslept!” Arissa smiled awkwardly.
She checked out the kids and noticed that everyone was
drenched in sweat.
“Mommy, you're such a lazy pig for sleeping that long!”
Jasper teased.
Avrissa pinched his nose. “If I'm a lazy pig, then what are you?”
“He's a lazy piglet!” Oliver chuckled.
“If I'm a lazy piglet, then you are a lazy piglet too!” Jasper
harrumphed and shot back.
The housekeepers and bodyguards broke out in laughter as
they watched on.
Edwin and Mary were also watching them interact with a smile
on their faces.

“Mommy, why did you sleep for so long? Are you sick?”
Zachary placed his palm on Arissa's forehead worriedly.
Avrissa pulled his hand away, feeling pleased. “I'm fine. | fell
into a deep sleep because it was too comfortable.”
Tim blinked as he observed Arissa to make sure she was okay.
“Mommy, were you not able to sleep well for the past few
days?”
Gavin had hit the nail on the head.
Arissa smiled and rubbed their heads.
“What games are you playing?”
“We took Great-grandaunt and Tim out for a walk in the
garden!” Jasper chuckled.
Arissa nodded. “Are you done?”
She turned to check on Mary and felt relieved to see her in
high spirits.
“No!”
Gavin smiled. They still had some way to go.
“Then let's continue after dinner!”
Arissa walked over to Mary's side, squatted down by her
wheelchair, and placed a hand on her knee affectionately.
“Grandaunt, how was your nap?”
Mary nodded. “It was okay.” She smiled.
She just found the mattress a little too soft for her liking.
