Chapter 118 I Do Not Want To Stay At Home Alone âDonât you have lots of fun at school? Are you going to stay at home alone while your brothers go to school?â Arissa coaxed Jesse exasperatedly.
âNo. They donât have to go to school too. Weâll stay at home and play!â Jesse shook her head as she answered, her eyes still closed.
Arissa sighed and patted Jesseâs head.
The three boys had already gotten up.
They realized that Jesse was not with them as they brushed their teeth together.
âMommy, is Jesse awake?â
âNo. Sheâs still asleep.â Arissa started brushing her teeth.
âIâll wake her up.â Jasper ran to the room with his toothbrush in hand.
âJesse, wake up. Everyone will be leaving soon and youâll be the only one left at home. What if someone comes and takes you away?â Jasper said as he pulled at the blanket.
âNo!â Jesse cried sleepily.
She just wanted to go back to sleep.
âWake up! If you donât get up now, Iâll tell the teacher!â
âJasper, youâre so mean!â Jesse sniffled pitifully.
âGet up quickly. Mommy got up early to make delicious food for us. Weâll eat everything and not leave any for you!â
When Jesse heard that, she got up in a hurry, but her eyes were still drooping sleepily.
Arissa entered the room after brushing her teeth and smiled when she saw Jesseâs sleepy look.
She picked Jesse up and exited the room.
âAre you still sleepy?â Arissa pinched Jesseâs nose, as she laid on her shoulder.
âMommy!â Her adorable voice would make anyoneâs heart melt.
Arissa caressed Jesseâs hair, which looked like a birdâs nest.
âMommy, Jasper said that he would not leave anything for me to eat!â
Arissa was nonplussed as she looked at Jesse, who still had her eyes closed.
Only food would make her get up so quickly.
âIf you wash your face and brush your teeth now, Iâll let you eat more later.â
âBut, Mommy, I want to sleep!â Jesse whined and hugged her neck.
Arissa turned her head and kissed Jesseâs face. âJesse, if you continue to sleep, weâll finish our breakfast and leave. Do you want to stay at home alone?â
Jesse shook her head and rubbed her eyes. âNo, I donât want to be alone!â
âThen go wash your face and brush your teeth. Iâll send all of you to school,â Arissa coaxed as she passed Jesse her toothbrush with some toothpaste already on it.
âJesse, come and brush your teeth. Mommy still needs to wash her face and put on makeup,â Zachary said to Jesse with a frown.
âMommy, Iâll brush my teeth myself,â Jesse said softly.
âOkay.â Arissa patted Jesseâs head and let her down.
âJesse, why are you so lazy today? Mommy has been up for quite a while. We need to take more initiative,â Oliver nagged Jesse.
Jesse brushed her teeth sleepily and answered, âI know, Oliver. I slept late last night.â
Arissa urged her children to hurry up as she squeezed out some facial cleanser on her palm and washed her face.
Zachary, Oliver, and Jasper grabbed their own towels.
They stood on small stools and wet their towels to wipe their faces.
Once done, they obediently placed their towels back neatly.

Oliver and Jasper waited for Jesse to be done before all of them went to change their clothes.
âHurry up, Mommy!â Jesse became very energetic and urged Arissa.
âAll right!â Arissa answered with a smile and sped up.
âGo and have your breakfast first, Sweethearts! Iâll be right over!â
