Connor lay back down. “Okay. I'll start looking for her tomorrow.”
“That's my boy. All right! Time to sleep! I should go back to my room already,” Natalie announced, getting up, but
Sharon clung to her hand.
“Mommy... Could you stay here with us?”
“Stay here?” Natalie asked in surprise.
Sharon nodded enthusiastically. “Yes, Mommy. You've not slept with us for a long time. I really miss you sleeping
with us.”
“Me too, Mommy,” Connor chimed in. At the end of the day, they were still kids and wanted the company of their
parents.
It went without saying that they would be over the moon if Natalie could spend the night with them.
When Natalie saw how invested her children were in the idea, she could not bring herself to turn them down, so she
caved eventually. “Fine. I'll sleep here tonight.”

Then, they flipped their blanket aside and hurried their mother to get into the bed with them.
Natalie smiled and took off her indoor sandals before lying down beside them.
After that, Sharon took out a book. “Mommy, read us a story.”
“Okay. Let me choose one,” Natalie replied, taking the book.
Just when she was done picking a story and was about to start reading, the door swung open.
Shane entered in his sleeping robe as he gazed at the three of them. “I knew you would be here,” he stated.
When he saw that she was not in the room after he came out of the bathroom, Shane knew immediately that
Natalie had gone to the kids, so he went over.
“Connor and Sharon asked me to stay here tonight, so I won't be going back to our room. Why not you go sleep
first, Darling?” Natalie asked, flashing him a smile.
“Yeah, Daddy. You can head back first,” Connor agreed.
Shane's face fell, and he glared at Connor.
I can't believe he's trying to get rid of me.
“No!” Sharon shouted. “Daddy's not going anywhere. Come here. Sleep with us.” She patted the space beside her.
This suggestion sounded heavenly to Shane.
A smile lit up his face. Before he went over, he tilted his head to shoot a smug look at Connor.
See! Sharon reads the room better than you. I bet it's true that daughters are better than sons. I can't believe my
own son was chasing me out of the room. What a brat.
Natalie caught Shane making a face at Connor and could not help but laugh.
“You're so childish.”
“Come here, Daddy,” Sharon repeated, her hand patting the bed.
“Coming,” Shane replied with a smile.
He had actually come to bring Natalie back, but since the children insisted that he stayed, Shane did not see why he
should not.
Besides, it had been some time since Natalie and he slept with the children. They had always let them sleep on their

He figured it would be good to make their wish come true sometimes.
Just like that, the family of four cuddled in the same bed that night.
Natalie and Shane each slept on the outer sides of the bed with the children lying in between.
Luckily, the bed was big enough to accommodate all of them.
That night, the children found it hard to fall asleep because they were simply too excited to have their parents
sleeping with them. They tossed and turned but still found no sleep.
It was not until they played for some time that they finally felt tired and dozed off.
After the children fell into a slumber, Shane and Natalie exchanged tired and helpless glances.
The children had worn them out. Earlier on, the children had demanded that Shane and Natalie tell stories, sing
songs, and played games with them.
At last, the children fell asleep, and the two adults felt they were completely drained of all their energy.
Natalie yawned as a wave of lethargy flooded her.
