Sweet Twins

Chapter 22 Bathing Bobby

Charles used to see Nancy as very obstinate and strong-minded, someone he thought would not conceded. But now, she appeared different that he felt curious and slightly interested.

"Nothing. You might as well consider yourself as Bobby's Mommy," Charles uttered, while the corners of his mouth twitched.

'What?

What did he mean by that?

How could he say it so casually?'

Nancy couldn't believe those words actually escaped his mouth.

"Mommy, let's take a bath together!" Bobby exclaimed, shaking her hand before running upstairs. As he reached the middle of the stairs, he suddenly turned around, remembering something. "Daddy, would you like to take a bath with us?" he asked earnestly.

Bobby never allowed anyone to give him a bath except for his father.

And even since then, the two had always practiced the habit of lying on the tub filled with water and bath soap while they played silly.

Perhaps, it was because Bobby felt he was less passionate towards his father that he turned around to invite him.

"Yes..." Charles answered hesitantly. Cocking his head to the side, he nervously gazed at Nancy, thinking that his son had just opened a significant opportunity to get close to this woman. It must be his wishful thinking––or perhaps the gods were siding with him––but either way, he was more than elated right now.

Nancy might have an open mind, but she would definitely agree to such a thing!

Nancy panicked. "Well..." she started speaking with her evidently shaking voice. "Bobby, if you want me to bathe you, your Daddy can't be with us. Do you understand?"

Bobby raised his head while his big puffy eyes appeared to be watery. "But why, Mommy?"
