Getting up from the bed, they rushed to Matthew and Laughed at him.

“Dad, you said that we needed evidence before accusing you of anything.

We've got it now!" Boswell stated.

Colman put his arms around his father's neck and said, "Dad, we weren't asleep yet. We only pretended to be so we could deceive you."

Damian Laughed out loud this time.

Adkins held Matthew's leg and accused him, “So it was true. It turns out that you really took us away from Mom while we were asleep

During this whole time, Erica had been half asleep until the voice of her children fully woke her up. Sitting up, she asked in a daze,

“What's going on?"

Damian ran to turn on the lights, exposing Matthew's livid face to everyone else in the room.

The children only laughed louder and louder when they saw their father's expression. They wanted their mother to know they had now the evidence of Matthew's "crime."

Matthew wanted to put Colman on the bed first, but the boy didn't let go of him. Instead, he took the chance to complain to Erica, "Mom, Dad took us away from you while we were sleeping. Look! He hasn't even put me down yet!"

After hearing her son's words, Erica burst into laughter.

Despite being caught red-handed by his children, Matthew managed to turn his face blank but only on the surface. Deep down, he wanted to grab the kids and slap each one on their buttocks. Casting a cold glance at the four boys, he pretended to be angry.

“How dare you set me up!"

If the news that Matthew himself was framed by his own sons spread, people would laugh their heads off. And Matthew wasn't very fond of this idea.

Yet Colman wasn't afraid of him at all. Standing on the bed, he wrapped his arms around Matthew's neck and started to jump up and down.

"Father and son hierarchy doesn't matter in this case. In war, those who win become rulers, and those who lose are reduced to bandits. You taught us this yourself. So, tonight, you're the bandit."

Adkins stated, “The bandit should sleep on his own for a night as punishment ."

"Dad, I don't mind your stinky smell, so you can have my room,"

Boswell suggested.

“Dad, if you're afraid of sleeping on your own, I'll keep you company,"

Damian offered gently.

Matthew was speechless for a moment. Once he recovered from his momentary shock, he pulled Damian into his arms and glanced at his other three sons and the woman snickering at him.

“This won't happen again!"

Then he left the room, closing the door behind him. As soon as he got out, though, he heard the three children's cheers coming from inside the room.
