My Mysterious Husband

It was bedtime. Pingan clung on to Venus and wouldn’t leave. Kerry said: “Come on, Pingan. You need to sleep with me tonight.”

Pingan was displeased. He grabbed Venus’s arm tightly and ignored Kerry.

Kerry said in a soft voice: “Pingan, mom’s wound is still not healed. She needs to be left alone. Come with daddy. You are the best baby in the world.”

Another reason why Kerry didn’t want Pingan to sleep with Venus was because Venus had been using various medicines recently which could affect the baby’s health adversely.

A few minutes later, Pingan kissed on Venus’s forehead and said: “Mom, please get well soon.”

Venus nodded, as if she was also a baby.

Kerry bent over and kissed Venus on her forehead and said: “Go to sleep now. Call me if you are not feeling well.”

“Sure.”

Kerry then held Pingan up and took him to the guest room. There was only a small bed but it was enough for him and the baby.

“Okay, now, we need to sleep.” Kerry put Pingan on bed.

Pingan pouted his mouth. He didn’t want to sleep with Kerry. Kerry looked into his eyes and asked seriously: “Pingan, why don’t you like daddy?”

Pingan’s eyes were sparkling. Of course he couldn’t understand Kerry’ s question. He was less than one year old.

“Forget it. Just sleep.”
