Chapter 110 Learning How to Bathe
She couldn't understand why Owen was always clinging to her.
As she looked at Owen's pitiful little face, she suddenly thought of what happened last night.
Angela snuck out of the preschool just to find Ivan.
And Owen snuck out of his house to find her...
Why would that be?
Haley racked her brain but couldn't figure it out.
She touched Owen's hair, which was full of withered leaves and dust from the flower bed.
Helplessly, she picked up the little guy. "Your dad should be here in another twenty minutes. Let me take you inside for a bath first."
Ivan had helped Angela take a bath, so she would do the same for Owen, and everything would be settled.
Just as she stood up, Todd followed behind and said lightly,"Mommy, he’s four years old, he can bathe by himself."
Owen, smelling the comforting fragrance emanating from Haley, was reluctant to let go. He held onto Haley's neck tightly. "I don't know how to bathe or undress, Haley, help me!"
"Physical contact between boys and girls should be avoided. I'll help you," Todd said without hesitation.
Haley put Owen down and said gently,"Owen, you're already four years old. It's time for you to learn to bathe independently. Let Todd take you to the bathroom and teach you."
"I don't want to!" Owen grabbed her wrist and stubbornly said,"Also, I'm definitely older than him. I'm the big brother!"
Todd raised an eyebrow. "How old are you?"
"Four!" Owen lifted his chin. "You should only be three and a half!"
Todd continued nonchalantly,"What month were you born in?"
Owen scratched his head. "I can't remember, but I'm definitely older than you!"
"If you're older than me, yet you can't bathe, we might have to look at your intelligence for an explanation," Todd said indifferently.
Owen puffed up his cheeks, hands on his hips, looking quite childish.
"My mommy said that you should do your own things. My mommy likes independent children," Todd added.
Owen deflated. "Okay then, you teach me how to bathe."
He wanted to be a well-behaved and obedient child so that Haley wouldn't kick him out.
He entered the bathroom voluntarily, and Todd followed, closing the bathroom door behind them.
With a soft bang, Owen suddenly felt something was off.
He glared at Todd. "Why did you close the door?"
"Who takes a bath with the door open? What kind of weird habit is that?" Todd coldly took out a new towel. "Can you handle hot water?"
Owen: "..."
Could he say no?
At home, he had Alfred and at least two servants to attend to his bathing needs.
All he had to do was lie in the bathtub.
But now...
Seeing Todd's disdainful eyes, Owen swallowed the words "I don't know" reluctantly.
He walked to the edge of the bathtub and turned on the faucet.
Todd's voice was flat,"This is hot water. Do you want to scald yourself?"
Owen turned the faucet slightly to the right.
Todd remarked,"If you're not afraid of cold, this temperature will do."
It was only after Owen took off his clothes and stepped into the bathtub that he understood what Todd meant.
The water was too cold!
Unable to bear it any longer, Owen angrily exclaimed,"You're intentionally bullying me!"
