Chapter 717 New Bag
The children cheered joyfully when Ethen brought the car to a halt. “Mr. Frank, hurry up and show us the bag!”
“Hurry up, Mr. Frank!”
Ethen was pleasantly shocked. That was the first time the kids had welcomed him in such a lively manner. He
quickly retrieved the bag from inside the car.
“Here it is! This is Tim’s new bag!”
Ethen beamed at the children.
Gavin stepped forward to receive the bag before passing it to Tim.
“Here, Tim, hold this.”
“Okay!”
Tim hugged the bag fondly as his eyes sparkled with delight.
Arissa’s lips curved into a smile at the sight of the boy’s jolly reaction.
She crouched down and asked gently, “Do you like the bag, Sweetheart?”
“Yes. I love it!”
Tim glanced at her. Then, he looked down at his bag, unwilling to part with it out of adoration.
Arissa grabbed the bag, wanting to assist Tim in shouldering it. “Sweetheart, try putting on the backpack. I’ll help

The other five children—Gavin, Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse—surrounded Tim, urging Tim to put on the bag.
“Hurry up, Tim.”
Tim gazed at them shyly before turning on his heels.
Arissa swiftly slung the bag on his shoulders.
Tim appeared cuter as he carried the bag on his back.
Even the bodyguards were staring intently at him.
Benjamin regarded Tim with a tender expression as well.
He then strode over, lifted the bag, and said, “The straps are too long.”
“I’ll take care of that,” Arissa responded before helping Tim shorten the bag’s straps so that it would hang higher on
his shoulders.
She glanced at Benjamin, hinting at him to let go of the bag so that she could adjust the length of the straps.
Once Arissa thought the bag was nicely positioned, she asked, ”Sweetheart, is it comfortable carrying the backpack
like this? Does it feel too high?”
“It’s just nice!”
Tim grasped the straps with his tiny hands in ecstasy.
Arissa patted his head lovingly.
“If you feel the bag is too high or too low, you can pull here. If you pull, the straps will become shorter, and the bag
will go higher. If you want the bag to be lower, you can loosen the straps to make it longer.”
She demonstrated the technique to adjust the bag’s straps to him.
“Okay!” Tim nodded.
Oliver stared at Tim cheerily. “You look so handsome carrying the bag, Tim.”
Tim blushed at that.
Arissa was also sizing Tim up. He looks extremely adorable, shouldering the backpack with his petite figure.
Noticing the price tag on the bag, she wanted to remove it.
Ethen handed her a lighter.
“Here’s a lighter, Ms. York.”
Just as Arissa reached out to receive the device, Benjamin stretched out his hand and cut across her. Then, he took
off the price tag directly.
After that, he tossed the lighter back at Ethen.
The latter hurriedly caught the lighter before stepping forward to collect the price tag in Benjamin’s hand and
tossing it into a rubbish bin.
“Let’s go in,” Benjamin reminded after glancing at Arissa and the six kids.
“Let’s go in, Sweethearts.”
Arissa stood up while holding Tim’s hand, the latter still shouldering the backpack. In her other hand was the bag of
stationery.

Zachary and Oliver walked up to her and offered to take the shopping bag.
Oliver placed Jesse’s writing materials into the bag. Then, he and Zachary each grabbed one side of the shopping
bag.
“Can you two manage?” Arissa gazed down at the two kids.
“Yes.” Zachary smiled at her.
Arissa let go of the shopping bag, allowing them to bring it inside the house.
Gavin put his belongings into the bag and helped out as well.
“Count me in!”
Jasper joined his siblings in carrying the shopping bag. “Me too. Me too!” Jesse chimed in.
It became difficult for them to even walk properly as the five children shared the weight of the shopping bag.
Arissa laughed. “That’s enough. Two or three people will be sufficient to carry the shopping bag. There’s no room to
walk if all five of you are crowded together.”
The five kids giggled.
Seeing how the children were fooling around, Benjamin stepped forward and seized the shopping bag.
The kids turned to look at him instantaneously.
Benjamin’s eyes casually swept past them. “Let’s go inside.”
Upon noticing Benjamin lending a helping hand, Arissa held Tim’s hand while urging the other five children to enter
the house, “Come on, Sweethearts, let’s head in. Just let your daddy carry the shopping bag.”
