Sweet Twins

Charles coughed jokingly, slightly hinting to Bobby that the latter should leave to give him some time alone with Nancy.

"Mommy, please help me take a bath, and read me some interesting stories after. You can leave me once I fall asleep!" Bobby uttered, biting the nail on his little index finger.

Then, he cupped Nancy's face, and with hopeful eyes, he reluctantly said, "Although...to be honest, I want you to sleep beside me."

"You're starting to be a big man now. You shouldn't be clinging to your mom anymore," said Charles, interfering immediately to get what he wanted. The coldness in his tone alerted his son as if sending a clear message that he didn't like how the latter was acting up.

"Fine!" Bobby answered unwillingly, pouting his lips to the extreme to show his discontent.

'Tss! If only I could have two mommies,' the little boy ranted in his head, glaring at his father without being noticed. His innocent mind thought it would be better that way so that his father could have one for himself.

'Why is there only one mother in our house? I need one and perhaps daddy too!' he wondered further as he walked towards his bathroom.

Just like he wished, Nancy bathed and told him stories until he fell asleep soundly. And once she was sure the boy was in deep slumber, she finally decided to leave the room.

With her shoulders slouched and head on the floor, she twisted the knob open only to bump into a muscular chest.

"Thanks for doing all of these even though you're really tired." Charles' hoarse voice penetrated her ears while his hand lightly brushed against her arm.

Slowly, she raised her head, and subtly removed his hands. "Charles, I came here today not just for Bobby."

Her soft voice sent sparks and heaps of hope into Charles' eyes. "Are you here for me?" he asked, almost breathless.

"No, I want to talk to you about something," Nancy answered with a deep sigh, much to Charles' disappointment. The latter had expected for something else, but clearly, the former wasn't giving in.

So, he instead turned around and walked to the bathroom. "I have to take a shower first. If you want to take a shower with me, you can come with me. If you don't want to, there is another bathroom around. Go in my bedroom and take your clothes there," he said before going to the bathroom.

Nancy was left in an utter daze, utterly clueless as to how his mood could change quickly. However, after a while, she just shrugged her shoulders and walked towards his bedroom.

She pulled the wardrobe open with both of her hands and was shocked to see what graced her sight.

She thought that there were only one or two sets of female clothes stacked in there, but she did not expect that a variety of them filled almost half the entire space.
