Hearing this, Colby pursed his lips.


    He nced at Lucinda, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, and then turned back to Nathan and asked earnestly, “Daddy, why are you so against me sleeping here? Are you worried I’ll take Mommy away from you?”


    Nathan was at a loss for words.


    With a serious expression, Colby handed the pillow to Nathan and said firmly, “Daddy, don’t worry.


    I’m not here to separate you and Mommy.


    I want to join you!”


    Nathan furrowed his brow, puzzled.


    He looked at Colby, trying to understand what he meant.


    With a mischievous grin on his young face, Colby said, “I want to sleep between you two.

    Nathan stared at his son standing obediently outside the door, lost for words.


    Why was Colby so determined to sleep between him and Lucinda? Wasn’t that separating him from his wife?


    Nathan would do anything to please Colby, but he was not willing to give up sleeping next to his beloved wife.


    Just as he was about to lose his temper, Lucinda smiled warmly and beckoned to Colby.


    “Baby,e here.


    Let Mommy hug you.


    ”


    Colby giggled and started to run over, but Nathan blocked his path.


    Even though Nathan knelt down to meet his son’s gaze, his demeanor remained regal and aloof, like an exquisite sculpture.


    Colby tried to reach his mother, but Nathan was like a barrier preventing him from getting a hug.


    Yet, Colby wasn’t upset.


    He blinked innocently, seemingly trying to negotiate with Nathan.


    “Daddy, this afternoon, you spoke ill of Mommy when she wasn’t around.


    You said Mommy likes to cry to get her way and that Destinee learned to act pitifully from her.


    But Mommy overheard, didn’t she?”


    Nathan was at a loss for words.


    Why had the boy brought it up again, and in such a detailed way?


    Feeling anxious, he cautiously looked back at Lucinda, who was sitting on the edge of the bed.


    Lucinda was looking at him and gave a slight smile that seemed to signal his defeat.


    But then Colby added, “Daddy, if you don’t act right, you might get in trouble with Mommy, right?”


    He quickly changed the topic and chuckled.


    “But if I sleep next to both you and Mommy, in the middle, you won’t get punished by Mommy…”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    Narrowing his eyes, Nathan gritted his teeth and muttered, “So, I should thank you for saving me?”


    “You’re wee.


    I just enjoy helping others, especially when it involves saving my dear daddy.


    So, Daddy, don’t oppose my staying.


    Tonight, I’ll be your Lucky charm.


    ”


    He slipped past Nathan and dashed toward Lucinda, wrapping his thin arms around her leg.


    His adorable face nestled against his mommy’s knees.


    Lucinda caressed his little head lovingly and lifted Colby into her arms.
