The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Manoban's Pampered Wife Book 4

Chapter 749: A Family of Four (4)

The sky turned quiet as a gray tone shrouded the whole place. Darkness crept in slowly.

Inside the quiet and comfortable bedroom, Lisa stirred slightly after a day of sleep. He opened his eyes and put his hand onto his heavy head, glancing around as he sat up. His eyes returned to normal. When he turned around, he saw a huge pair of eyes watching him.

"Father, you're awake?" Louis was lying beside the bed as he stared at Lisa intently.

"Louis? Why are you here? Where's Mother?" Lisa took a deep breath and sat up.

Louis grabbed a glass of water and medicine on the table beside the bed and handed them to Lisa, "Have some water first, Father, and take your medicine. Mother is putting Brother to sleep. She told me to give you these when you wake up."

Lisa smiled and patted Louis's head before taking the water and medicine from him. Then, he quickly consumed the medicine.

Lisa had Louis sit on the bed and asked, "What time is it now?"

"The sky has turned dark already! Grandmother and the others have gone back home. Great-grandmother just fell asleep. Brother woke up the moment Mother finished her shower," Louis touched Lisa's forehead with his little hand. "Father, are you feeling unwell?'

Lisa grabbed his hand and asked, "I'm alright. Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Louis gave it some thought before he gave Lisa a serious reminder. "I'll sleep after Brother falls asleep since there's no school tomorrow. Father, you need to wash your hands more frequently. It'll be more difficult to get sick that way."

Lisa chuckled. "Who told you that you can avoid getting sick by washing your hands frequently?"

"The teachers at the kindergarten. I also saw Mother wiping your face and hands."

"Louis, there could be many reasons for a person to fall sick. Not washing your hands means not taking good care of personal hygiene which is one of the aspects. A lack of physical training could lead to getting sick as well. Don't eat anything dirty too. That's why you have to start training yourself in kindergarten. Play more with other children instead of just watching them like before. You're not going to make friends like that. Understand?"

Lisa patted Louis's head. He was surprised at himself for saying so much to this kid even though he was not particularly a talkative person.

Louis nodded. He thought about something again before asking, "Father, if I don't like someone, should I still play with him?"

"You don't like him? Why not?" Lisa leaned against the bedhead as he asked.

"Because he doesn't let the other children play with me."

"Then, you'll have to come up with a way to make other children play with you. Remember that you cannot fight in school. If there's anything you can't solve, then come home and discuss it with us. Back when I was in kindergarten, I was the boss of the whole place. Even the teachers were impressed. Teachers always like children that have good grades and are influential over other children. Do you understand what I'm saying?" Lisa tried to simplify what he was trying to say.

Louis was a smart child, so he grabbed Lisa's arm. "I understand, Father! I'll do my best and be the boss!"

Lisa chuckled as he tapped Louis's head. "Cheeky little thing! I told you to memorize both your mother's and my number. Have you done it?"

"Yeap, yours is XXXX. Mother's phone number is XXXX. Our house address is Maple Residence, number 9 in the Grand Waves Villa area, right, Father?"

"Good, you need to memorize Great-grandfather's address and phone number as well. When I have some free time, I'll bring you around City Z. At least, you'll know how to get home if I leave you alone at the train station."

Master Manoban thought this knowledge was relevant to a kid.

...

"What are you guys talking about?"

Jennie came in through the side door and saw Louis lying on the bed looking at Lisa. The two of them were chatting about something. Louis looked like he was having fun as Lisa's hand was on Louis's head.

"Father said he'll bring me to take the trains one day, Mother." Louis turned his head the moment he heard Jennie's voice.

"That will need to wait. It's getting late now and you should go back to your room and sleep. I'll read you some stories. Change into your pajamas quickly."

Jennie glanced at Lisa and was relieved when she noticed he was not as pale as before. "Go and take a bath. I've prepared the water for you. I'll go to Louis's room."

Lisa nodded. "Is our son asleep?"

"Yeap, he can be easily awakened. His ears are very sensitive and he'll awaken at the slightest noise. Let's go, Louis. Time to sleep."

"Oh, goodnight, Father!"

"Goodnight." Lisa took his hand away.

...

Louis's room was right beside Leo's room. It was just a door away.

Jennie took out a clean set of pajamas and was about to change it for Louis. Unexpectedly, he hid under the blanket and popped out his head as he said, "Mother, I'll change by myself. I read it in the book that I shouldn't let girls see my body so easily."

Jennie could not help but giggle after hearing Louis's words. She gently knocked on Louis's head. "Just how old do you think you are?! I just bathed you a few days ago. I've seen everything on you! You shouldn't let girls see you when you grow up. I'm not a little girl."

"But..."

"No buts. Come out. I'm changing for you!"

Jennie dragged Louis out of the blanket and quickly changed him into his pajamas. Then, she read Louis several stories until he fell asleep.

Sis Wang served Lisa some supper. She also changed the bedsheets and the blanket.

He was standing beside the window, gazing out when Jennie got back to the bedroom, and he seemed a little lonely. She contemplated for a few moments before approaching him.
