Chapter 285 Rushed Home
“Sweetheart…” Arissa called out to Jesse a few times, yet the latter simply rolled her body and continued to sleep.
“Sweetheart, wake up. Your brothers are coming home to find me later. Don’t you want to see me?”
Arissa kept speaking into the phone, but she was unsure if Jesse heard her.
A while later, Gavin was the one who woke Jesse.
“Jesse! Wake up. We’re going home. Mommy’s home!”
Gavin shook his sister’s hand slightly.
Just then, Jesse opened her eyes groggily. “Mommy? Where’s Mommy?”
“Mommy’s at home! We are going back now!”
Gavin used his fingers to run through Jesse’s bed hair gently.
“Is Mommy back?” Jesse was rejuvenated at once.
Gavin nodded.
Upon seeing that, Jesse rushed to freshen up.
The rest of the kids had also come back to the room and got changed.
Without hesitation, they packed their bags before helping Jesse pack hers.
Then, they got all ready to leave the house.
Darius was still taking his nap when the kids were leaving. The butler saw them but failed to stop them.
“We’re going home. Please tell Grandpa after he wakes up. We’ll come to find him again when we’re free!” Gavin told the butler.
“Gavin, can’t you guys wait until Old Mr. Graham wakes up? You can go back after dinner!”
The butler tried to make them stay longer.
The quintuplets shook their head in unison. “We miss Mommy already!”
Seeing their persistence, the butler sighed slightly. “Let me send you guys back then.”
“It’s all right. We can go back ourselves. Please wait here for Grandpa to wake up.”
Zachary waved his hands right away.
In the end, the butler had no choice but to arrange for a car to send the kids back to Yaleview.
Just when they were about to leave, Kingsley came back.
“Isn’t that Mr. Watts’ car?”
Jesse glanced at the car.
“Yes, it’s Mr. Watts’!” Gavin nodded upon seeing that.
A moment later, Kingsley got out of the car.
He smiled after seeing the five kids standing at the door with the butler, carrying their bags. “Are you guys going to school? Isn’t it a holiday today?”
“No. We’re going home!” Jasper responded with a smile.
“Going home? But your parents aren’t there. So why are you going home?”
Kingsley smiled as he stared at them.
“Mommy’s back!” Gavin said.
Kingsley raised his brow upon hearing that. After he left the hospital that morning, he went right back home. After that, he came directly to the Old Manor to find the kids. Hence, he had no idea what happened at the hospital.
Could it be that Benjamin has gotten discharged from the hospital already?
“I asked them to stay here longer, but they refused to,” the butler told Kingsley.
Kingsley smiled again. “Well, since they want to go home, let me send them!”
“Thanks, Uncle Kingsley!”
The five of them thanked him simultaneously. Then, they all hopped into his car without delay.
Kingsley was amused as he turned to the butler. “Let me send them back. Please tell Mr. Graham about this.”
“Okay. Please drive slowly. And let me know after you’ve reached,” the butler reminded while sending them away.
Kingsley sat on the driver’s seat and reminded the kids, “All right, before we go, you guys need to fasten your seat belt!”
“Uncle Kingsley, we’ve fastened our belts. Please drive now!” Oliver urged him anxiously, fearing Darius might wake up and stop them.
Kingsley flashed the boy a smile before he started the car and drove off.
“It’s a holiday. Don’t you think it’d be better to accompany Grandpa longer?”
“But Mommy’s not here!”
Jesse was the one who missed Arissa the most. She had not seen her mother for almost two days, and it felt like ages to her.
