Ben's POV

It's quiet amusing actually to have lunch with Lien and the boys and then go to groceries shopping.

People thought us as a big family.

Some women praise her of how she still on her shape considering she has 4 sons. Must be very hard to raise them, moreover she is working—she is still on her blouse, skirt and high heels.

Some men praise me of how I am doing with a beautiful wife and 4 healthy sons.

Funny things, Lien is pushing the shopping-chart while I am the one who takes groceries from the racks while the boys are busy taking snack after snack.
Compared to the other family at the grocery store where the man is the one who push the shopping-chart and the woman is the one who do the shopping, this simple thing sends a smile to my face.

Besides, Lien and shopping-chart are indeed very funny sight.
She is better behind her laptop.

LOL.

I chuckled.

Lien turns her attention to me. She looks at me in confusion. "W-what?" She asked.

"Ah, no... the boys are making a fuss over the choice of crisp they should take." I said. The money is tight, they only allowed to buy 4 snacks.

Lien turns to the boys.

"Mother, they don't know what goods in here." Beam said to Lien.

"Ah. Just buy anything you want for today." She said.

It's understandable. Half people at the store are staring at us.
4 boys are sure very very loud.

"I don't know how you do it, but well done." Someone said as he walks passed me.

I turn to him. He is probably at the same age as me.

"I got it worse." He said laughing while pointing at his two girls and one boy. His kids, probably. While his wife throws her hands on the air. "Two girls are nightmares at these age."

I laugh. I show him a thumb up.

Man, you got it right, right there.

I am a single man, you know.
You are waaaaay do it better than me who can't even handle a relationship moreover a family.

I am glad I bought so much today. Fridge of working women's apartment is crying for something. It only has juice and water.

Luckily I bought some eating utensils too.

"Working women are worrisome." I said to Lien while pointing at the fridge and the racks.

She turns red as tomato instantly. "Ah. Silvia and I were too busy to cook and usually, the delivery gave spoon and fork, so...."

I chuckled. "Don't you want to try to make something?"

Lien blinks. She turns to Beam. "Beam! I am going to clean myself up and set the bed for us. Help Ben with dinner." She said as she walks away from the kitchen corner of her apartment.

Ah.

"Yes, mother." Beam said.
And by default, Bane helps me too while Forth and Four give their hands with the dining table setting.

These boys are behaving.
I'm impressed.

"You guys are great men." I comment.

They froze.
Beam raised her eyebrows.
"Really?" Bane is confused.
Forth squints his eyes. "This is the first time I heard it."
"What do you want from us?" Four looks at me suspiciously.
