Then, she called out to Nathan at the door.


    “Colby hasn’t been home for a while.


    He’s just not used to it.


    Let’s have him sleep in our room for now.


    I’m sorry, my love.


    ”


    Nathan was left without words.


    He didn’t respond.


    He was somewhat upset about not being able to cuddle with his wife.


    Nevertheless, he knew he had to make space for his son.


    Feeling slighted, Nathan silently closed the door and returned to the bed with the pillow that Colby had handed him earlier.


    Lucinda ced the pillow between hers and Nathan’s.


    She then tucked Colby into bed and ki*sed his forehead tenderly.


    “Let’s sleep.


    Mommy and Daddy are here for you.


    ”


    Colby clutched Lucinda’s arm and drifted off, feeling secure in her embrace.


    Standing by the bed, Nathan observed the tender moment between mother and son and felt a bit out of ce.


    Since Colby had arrived, Lucinda hadn’t paid much attention to Nathan.


    He sighed quietly.


    As a father, he held back his feelings.


    Given Colby’s ordeal with the remnants of the $404 Virus, it was natural for Lucinda to be extra attentive to him.


    Colby would only share their bed for a few days.


    When the boy adjusted to being at home, he would personally move him back to his own small bedroom.


    Nathan felt that his wife belonged to him alone, and he should be the one to hold her as they slept.


    Lost in thought, Nathan quietly pulled back theforter andy down.


    Then he switched off the Lamp on the bedside table.

    Darkness enveloped the room, and silence reigned for just under ten minutes.


    Then, there was another knock at the door.


    Knock, knock, knock…


    This time, the knocking was much louder than Colby’s earlier taps.


    Half asleep, Nathan instinctively furrowed his brow.


    With Colby already in the room, he had a good idea of who might be at the door without needing to think about it.


    He sighed, silently turned on themp again, and got up to answer the door.


    Upon opening it, Destinee rushed in and clung to Nathan’s leg.


    “Daddy, I had a nightmare.


    I feel sick.
