She swung open the door and pretended to stifle a yawn.

"Who is it? Oh it's you, Pike. Why don't you go to bed instead of knocking on my door?"

Pike looked at her suspiciously. The woman's long black hair was a little messy, and her nightgown appeared crumpled.

“What are you doing?"

The woman yawned.

“I was asleep. What time is it now? Why haven't you slept yet?" She also glanced at the men behind Pike. When the men saw that the woman was only wearing a nightgown, their eyes widened.

Countless men had been attracted to this widow and her friend ever since the two women had come to their village half a year ago.

The widow was exceptionally beautiful. She had already given birth to four sons, but motherhood hadn't changed her figure at all. All the married and unmarried men in the village yearned for her.

The matchmaker had come to her house many times, trying to introduce men to her, but she had never agreed to remarry

Soon, the sound of soft footsteps echoed in the hall. When the men turned, they saw another woman dressed only in pajamas. She asked in a gentle voice, "Pike, what are you doing here?"

Pike found himself unable to take his eyes off Tessie. After what seemed like an eternity, he shook off the fog of passion and focused on the task at hand. He turned to Erica, shoved her away from the doorway, and said, "I'm going to check your room today!" He didn't believe that their rooms would not have any clues!

The woman, who had been leaning against the door, kicked him as soon as he placed one foot in the room.

The other men gasped with astonishment when they saw that Pike, a man weighing nearly one hundred kilos, Lay on the ground.

Humiliation coursed through Pike. His face reddened as he placed a hand over his injured chest and roared at the woman who had hit him, "Damn you bitch! I'll kill you today!"

Erica, who now went by the name of Erma, straightened her nightgown and crooked her finger at him.

“Come!”

After his men helped him up, Pike rushed to the woman again. But, before he could get close to her, the strong man was sent flying in the air again!

He spat out a mouthful of blood. The blow had been intense enough to give him a minor internal injury.

“Pike, let's leave! This woman has four sons that are difficult to handle. Let's go!" The man who spoke had been tricked and bullied the most by the four Hilton boys.

Erica stepped out of the room, smiled at the men in coarse clothes, and said, “My sons aren't returning to Tow Village again. You don’t have to worry about them. It's just you and me now. Bring it on if you dare!"

"Oh, my sons have gone home to enjoy a comfortable life, but I don't know when I can leave here, * Erica thought.

The group of ruffians Laughed as relief coursed through them. The four naughty boys of the Hilton family had troubled them for so long that the thought of never seeing them again pleased Pike and his men. After all, it was shameful that a group of grown men couldn't handle a few boys!

A man in a floral shirt asked, "Where did they go?" As soon as he heard that the four little boys had left, reluctance surged in his heart.

Strangely enough, he didn't want to part with them.

Erica answered as she patted the dust from her hands, “They have gone to search for their dad.”
