Chapter 638 Take Good Care Of Tim âGrandaunt, just accept my dadâs suggestion. Otherwise, if we come back to a collapsed house, youâll be upset!â
Even Gavin was convincing Mary to accept Benjaminâs offer. In response, Mary ruffled his hair and said, âI donât wish to waste money on that.â
âGrandaunt, itâs just a small house,â Arissa insisted.
Mary was touched by their words.
âSave the money for Timâs education. Thereâs no need to build any new house. Iâm fine with living in this one.â
âGrandaunt!â Arissa whined to the elderly woman.
Mary did not know whether to laugh or to frown at that.
Benjamin turned to Arissa and announced, âIâve made up my mind. Iâm going to build this house.â
âYou donât need to waste money on that. Even if you build a new house, we wonât be able to live in it. Weâll only end up letting that disloyal son of mine get the house. Whatâs the point of that?â
Mary no longer had any hope for her son, Raphael.
Arissa looked down for a moment, wondering if she should break the news to Mary right there and then.
âItâs fine. At the very least, youâll be able to sleep tight when you come back here, so building the new house is worth the money. Tim will have to worry about your safety if you come back alone to stay in the old house.â
Mary hesitated at their persistence, and she gave the old house another glance.
Truth be told, she was reluctant to part with it.
âWhat about this, Grandaunt? Weâll renovate the old house to make it sturdier. Will that be all right with you?â
Benjamin decided to take another approach when he noticed Maryâs reluctance.
Thinking that he would really just renovate the old house and thus would not spend much, Mary finally nodded.
âOkay then. Just renovate it a little.â
Her agreement made the others breathe a sigh of relief.
Benjamin then instructed Ethen, âAssign someone on this. Build walls according to the old houseâs style, and change the roof to glazed tiles. Keep the kitchen where it is. In other words, try to keep things the same way they look now. You can come up with a design draft first, and show it to me.â
âOf course, Mr. Graham.â Ethen then noted that down into his list.
Maryâs eyes reddened as she listened to Benjaminâs instructions.
Right then, Tim returned with a man named Seth, who used to live in the same house as James.
Mary then gave him instructions for certain things at home and asked him to take care of the fields at home.
âI wouldnât dare to plant anything in your fields if Raphael were to come back and kick up a fuss. However, I can still do the prayers, but I think itâs best for me to leave the fields as they are.â
Seth knew about Raphael, so he did not dare to take over the management of the fields.
âHe wonât be able to kick up a fuss. Just be at ease and use the fields. If anything happens, go to the head of the village,â Benjamin told him before turning to Ethen to make arrangements for that.
Hearing that, Seth glanced at them and asked Mary, âWho are they?â
âOh, this is Timâs father, and this is Timâs mother. Theyâre about to take me to a different place to treat my illness.â
Seth beamed. It was obvious that Arissa and Benjamin were not from an impoverished family, so he was happy for Mary and Tim.
âYou donât need to worry about the things here. Iâll be watching over the place for you.â
âOkay, thank you!â Mary said earnestly.
âYou donât need to thank me. James took care of my family when he was around. Just be at ease and go for your treatment. Do call us and tell us that youâre doing fine too,â Seth merrily said.
âSure!â Mary replied with a nod. She then turned to Arissa and the others and said, âLetâs go.â
After Arissa greeted Seth, she brought Mary up into the car.
âBye, Mr. Seth!â Tim said to Seth.

âOkay!â Tim nodded fervently.
âBye, Mr. Seth!â
The other children waved and bid him farewell as well.
When Seth realized that they all looked the same, he was stunned.
âYouâve all got the same face!â
The children giggled.
âYes, weâre sextuplets!â Jasper replied.
Seth patted his head and chuckled. âYou have to take care of Tim. Donât bully him.â
âDonât worry, Mr. Seth. Weâll take care of Tim and Great-grandaunt,â Gavin replied solemnly.
That made Seth smile in relief.
âWeâll have to trouble you to take care of this place,â Benjamin said to the man who was nice to his son.
âItâs no trouble. I should be the one thanking you for taking Mary to go for treatments.â
Benjamin nodded. He then gave Ethen a look.
