For a while, Ashley pondered on Fabio's request.
'Well, I guess the bed's big enough. And Andrew's already fast asleep, so maybe there's nothing to worry about, ' she thought.
Ashley's face softened as she kissed Fabio's cheek and said, "Okay, you don't have to go to sleep with your brother. You can sleep with me tonight."
"Yay!"
When Fabio heard this, he pouted his lips and kissed Ashley with a big smile on his face.
Ashley took a look at Andrew who had passed out on the bed and said to Fabio, "You stay in bed now. I will just get your daddy cleaned up a bit, okay?"
After Ashley left the room, Fabio scooched closer to Andrew, coming face to face with him. His eyes were big and curious.
As he studied Andrew's face, Fabio furrowed his small eyebrows.
"Why do we look so much alike?
Humph! I'll let you sleep with Mommy because you're drunk," Fabio whispered. 'Tomorrow, I'm getting my mommy back! I'm the one she's supposed to be lying next to, not you!'
"Although my mommy loves you, she loves me more!"
Fabio murmured in Andrew's ear. When he heard Ashley coming back, he quickly moved aside and lay back on the bed quietly.
Ashley came back with a basin of warm water and washed Andrew's face and hands carefully before proceeding to wash up the other parts of his body.
It took her a while, helping Andrew get cleaned up. When she was done, she went to the bathroom to wash herself up.
As soon as she was done and lay down on bed, Fabio snuggled up next to her. He hadn't slept beside Ashley for several nights now, so he couldn't help but cling to her. Ashley cuddled him until she also fell asleep.
"Water...
Water..."
Ashley suddenly heard somebody speak intermittently in her dream. The sound came from the darkness.
Then, her eyes suddenly fluttered awake.
"Water...
Ashley heard the voice again and then she recognized who it was. She turned on the bedside lamp and s
ying to him, so he ignored her until she signaled him again to look at his side.
Andrew then turned his head and looked around. Indeed, Fabio was lying beside him!
Right beside him!
Andrew's face darkened immediately.
'How did this kid dare to lie beside me and my wife!' he fumed inside.
All of a sudden, he didn't know what to do with his hands. He couldn't continue the motion nor did he want to give up. He was in a dilemma.
Ashley couldn't help but gloat. "I've told you that Fabio was sleeping beside me and you didn't believe me," she said in a hushed voice as she rolled her eyes.
Hearing her gloat like that, Andrew couldn't help but grab the back of her thighs gently.
In the next second, Ashley's body stiffened and she stopped laughing at Andrew.
She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to help herself if Andrew did anything more.
It would be impossible for them to do anything with a child beside them.
Even though she was trying to be careful, Andrew didn't seem to care what the situation was or who was beside them.
Ashley looked at Andrew helplessly and tried to get off Andrew.
But he caught her waist just in time, pulling her closer to him. Then, he placed his lips beside her head, his hot breath right by her ear.
"Don't move."
