Chapter 1332 Why Should I Praise You
Seeing the children''s curiosity about the rocking chair, Arissa smiled and asked, “Would you like to give
it a try?”
“Yes! Yes!” Jesse pped her hands in joy.
The three little ones were particrly eager to y, but the three older ones were mindful of Arissa''s
difort, knowing she couldn''t stand or sit for too long.
Seeing Arissa about to get up, both Zachary and Tim each pressed on one side of her, making her lie
back down.
“Mommy, you can''t stand up. Please lie down!”
“Mommy, you should lie down. When you''re tired of lying down, then you can y with the others!”
Gavin reminded Arissa.
“Mommy''s fine now. You guys don''t need to be so worried. I''ve been resting for quite a while,” Arissa
said, feeling warmed by her children''s concern.
“That won''t do. You should just lie down. Otherwise, why would Daddy have bought you such a rocking
chair?” Zachary became serious, his little face as solemn as his father''s.
Arissa was caught betweenughter and tears. With Benjamin not at home to keep an eye on her, it
was the children''s turn to do so. “I had your father buy this rocking chair because I found it
comfortable.”
“Mommy, you just rest well. We can wait until you''re no longer lying down. Grandpa''s house has one as
well!” Oliver, thinking about his mother''s poor health, didn''t want to push it any further.
“All right, Mommy. You just lie down. We won''t y anymore!” Jasper and Jesse echoed in agreement.
Arissa patted their little heads. “Did anything interesting happen at school today?”
The six little ones exchanged nces, thinking of Regan, that grudge-bearing grandfather.
“Mommy, we had regr sses. Nothing interesting happened!” Zachary said with a beaming smile.
Gavin nced at Zachary, puzzled as to why Zachary was keeping it from Arissa.
“Do you have homework?” Arissa looked at the six of them. Apart from the worry about Tim and
Jesse''s studies, she didn''t need to worry about the other four. However, Jasper was a bit too yful
and needed constant supervision.
“I have no homework,” Jesse replied with a gleeful smile, absolutely delighted.

Seeing her so happy, Arissa couldn''t help butugh. “Do you really not have it, or are you just
pretending?”
“We really don''t have any homework!” Oliverughed.
Arissa nodded, fetched some snacks for them, and said, “Go on and y. You don''t need to stick
around me!”
“Mommy, isn''t it nice to have us around? Are you annoyed by our noise?” Jasper asked, pouting his
little mouth as he munched on something.
Arissa gave him a sidelong nce, teasing him, “I just asked you to keep mepany. Can you sit
still?”
“I can sit still!” Tim said, grinning at her. Seeing her at home, the little one was in high spirits.
Arissa was filled with contentment, fondly ruffling Tim''s hair. “Tim is the cutest!”
Tim blushed.
“Haha! Tim is blushing, Mommy. You should praise him more!” Jasperughed heartily.
Tim felt even more embarrassed when Jasperughed at him.
Zachary, Gavin, Oliver, and Jesse also startedughing.
“Stop teasing Tim. You blush as well when I praise you! Arissa said with a smile, yfully ring at
Jasper. This kid is always up to no good.
With a mischievous twist of his face, Jasper turned to Arissa and said with a gleeful smile, “Mommy,
praise me! Let''s see if I still blush!”
“Why should Ipliment you? Should I praise you for being handsome?” Arissa teased him.
“Hehe! Mommy, aren''t you praising me already?” Jasper was delighted, his little expression full of pride.
“Look! You''re blushing even when Mommy praises you!” Zachary yfully tugged at Jasper''s ear.
“You''re lying to me, I certainly did not!” Jasper arrogantly huffed.
“Zachary didn''t deceive you. Go look in the mirror yourself!” Oliverughed slyly, staring straight at his
face.
Jasper looked around at everyone and saw everyone smiling at him. He then asked Tim, “Tim, did my
face really turn red?”
Tim wouldn''t lie, so it was okay to ask him.
In response, Tim blinked and nodded. “It''s red.”
