Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife

"Well, would you like to take a shower with your brothers?" Erica asked.

Shaking his head, Boswell answered, "No. How about my own bathroom? Please?"

"Okay. Ask the nanny to fill the tub for you. I'll be along after I'm done with your brothers!" She had so many sons and they had to take turns bathing.

"Okay!"

With the nanny's help, Erica finally finished bathing each of her sons.

Erica was in the master bedroom. She stared at the man exiting the bathroom, not saying a word.

Matthew put on his pajamas and glanced at her. "You should probably grab a shower," he said.

"Okay." She nodded and walked into the bathroom, burying the questions she wanted to ask him deep inside her.

At night, Erica was lying on the bed playing a mobile game, and Matthew was viewing the news on his iPad.

Someone pushed the door of the master bedroom open. Eventually, a boy's head could be seen in the widening gap. He gently called, "Dad, Mom."

It was Damian, their youngest son.

Erica sat up from the bed and looked at her son, confused. "What's wrong? Why are you up again, Damian?"

Standing at the door, an Ultraman toy in hand, he stared at them and said, "I can't sleep. Can I sleep with you guys?"

Matthew put down his iPad, got out of bed and walked towards him. Half squatting in front of the boy, he looked at him and asked, "Why?"

"Well, I've never done it before, and I feel safe with you," the little boy answered bluntly.

With a faint smile, Matthew closed the door and carried him to the bed.

As soon as Damian climbed into the bed, someone opened the door once more. This time, it was Colman. He screamed and ran to their bed. "Oh, yeah! We can sleep with Dad and Mom now!"
