‘Is this my place in this family? Of a servant?"

Before he could say anything, Erica handed the juice she was drinking back to Damian and stood up. Then she pulled Matthew over and let him sit down on the chair.

“My dear children, listen! Dad is the greatest and works the hardest in this family, so from now on, we should treat him well. C, you massage Dad. D, you let Dad drink the juice! A, I'LL help you carry the basin of water.”

“Got it, Mom!" they answered in unison. Immediately, the children began to move to follow their mother's instructions.

Matthew didn't know what to say. He wondered if that was really happening.

When Matthew saw Erica coming with the basin of water in her hands, he came back to his senses and abruptly rose from the chair.

Under the woman's confused gaze, he told his four sons, "Mom is wrong on something. Mom is the only girl in this family, and it's the responsibility of men to protect and take care of the women in their lives. You were doing everything right before I came. Keep it up like this. From now on, I'll help you take good care of your mother as well!"

"Okay, Dad!" the kids answered in unison again, as if they had a connection.

The next moment, a dumbfounded Erica and the four kids watched Matthew take off his coat. Colman thoughtfully stepped forward to get the piece of clothing from his father before throwing it into the basket.

Matthew then rolled up his sleeves and squatted down to begin to wash

Erica's feet.

After he was done, he stretched out his hand and commanded, “Towel!”

“Here it is, Dad!" Boswell promptly handed him the towel.

“Thank you!"

“You're welcome, Dad!"

Matthew wiped her feet and then carried her back to the bedroom, not bothering to put on her shoes for her.

The four kids were left to clean up the mess. Boswell and Colman carried the basin together and poured the water into the sink. Damian took the slippers Erica had worn before to her bedside. And Adkins, who was obsessed with cleanliness, threw the towel into another basket.

Erica couldn't be any happier receiving that kind of treatment. In fact, she felt like a queen.

As soon as the four kids finished their chores, they threw themselves on their parents’ bed and played with Erica.

This was a habit they had developed in Tow Village. Every night before going to bed, the kids would stay with Erica and chat for a while.

Only now things were a bit different since they had their father with them too!

The children didn't stay in the master bedroom for long, though.

Matthew picked up Adkins and Damian in each one of his arms while

Boswell held his neck from the front and Colman from behind. Matthew carried the kids towards the door this way and then sent everyone to their rooms simultaneously.

As Adkins had to take a shower every night, he was the last one to be taken back to his bedroom. Thankfully, the servant had already gotten his bath ready for him.
