Chapter 435 Sneakily Climbing into Bed in the Middle of the Night!
Sarah couldn't hold back her laughter, especially when she thought about Antonio's recent antics. It was enough to make her laugh until her stomach hurt.
"Honey, stop laughing," Antonio sat on the bed, burying his face in his hands.
He felt utterly embarrassed. Did he really cross mountains and overcome obstacles just for his wife to see his nose bleeding?
"Okay, enough laughing. Time to get some sleep. It's already late, and we've got to take the kids to the amusement park tomorrow. You promised, remember?"
He glanced at the time; it was almost 1:00 a.m. He really needed to sleep.
"I'll sleep in your room tonight."
This was Antonio's final act of stubbornness.
Sarah couldn't stand the thought of him climbing back out the window with a nosebleed. "Alright, alright, you can sleep here."
Antonio's mood instantly brightened, and he happily embraced his wife in bed. "Honey, you really worry about me too much."
Sarah glared at him. "You're just being mouthy."
"No, I'm not," he retorted. "Whether it's me climbing through the window or me with a nosebleed, the way you take care of me is always beautiful."
Sarah rolled over to face him. "Are you saying I'm not beautiful at other times?"
"No, you're always the most beautiful, my wife."
Sarah chuckled. "After all these years, you still only know how to say these few words."
In their university days, Sarah vividly recalled how Antonio would frequently suffer nosebleeds when the summer heat became unbearable.
Sarah would respond just as she did tonight: washing his face and pinching his nose to staunch the flow. Occasionally, the nosebleeds would leave stains on her clothes.
At that time, he would also say, "My wife, you look so beautiful when you care for me."
"My wife will still be the most beautiful in many years."
Sarah smirked and pushed him gently.
"Go to sleep. If you don't, you'll age into an old man, and then I won't want you around anymore."
Although they didn't have sensual moments, Antonio was more than ecstatic to have the warmth and softness of his wife in his embrace.
Before long, he fell into a deep sleep.
In the early morning, Antonio felt a slight lack of warmth beside him.
They had stayed up too late last night, and his nosebleed had made him sleep heavily.
Consequently, he pulled the blanket tightly around himself.
"Wake up, wake up, you need to wake up."
In a daze, he felt someone pushing him.
He didn't think much of it; it was definitely his wife with such gentle hands.
"Baby, stop fussing and go back to sleep," Antonio said as he pulled Brady's arm and held it in his embrace. As his large hands delicately caressed the skin, he couldn't help but notice their roughness.
"Antonio Valencia! Wake up!" Brady's teeth-gritting voice snapped at him, making him sit up abruptly from the bed.
Antonio froze. "Brother-in-law!"
He realized that he was still holding Brady's arm tightly in his embrace.
"Antonio, get up!" Brady angrily pulled his hand away.
He slapped his forehead, utterly embarrassed. What just happened?
To make matters worse, Sarah and their four children were standing by the bedside.
In other words, they had witnessed the entire scene where he had been affectionately touching their uncle's arm.
"Daddy, take care of yourself." Harper offered the most considerate advice.
The other three boys found it too embarrassing and sighed, shaking their heads in unison.
"Get up quickly." Sarah couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.
How was it possible that Antonio still hadn't kicked this habit after such a long time?
He had already embraced Brian before, and now he had gone back to holding Brady's arm!
Antonio buried his face in the blanket. This was beyond embarrassing.
He quickly composed himself and stood in front of Brady.
The scene seemed oddly familiar, almost identical to what happened when he found out about Brian's true identity.
Only this time, the roles were reversed, and he was the one waiting to be scolded.
"Antonio, are you... a primary school student?" Brady scolded.
"Even primary school students know that boys and girls can't share a bed. How could you do something so embarrassing?
"And you, Sarah, you're the kids' mother. Don't you know how to set a good example?"
Brady angrily lectured each of them, repeatedly emphasizing that Antonio should not be taking advantage. However, he was dismayed to discover that his sister had still fallen for it.
Antonio and Sarah stood side by side, like two scolded high school students, wearing a shame-faced expression.
Yet, behind Brady's back, their hands quietly entwined.
As Brady continued his passionate speech, he suddenly noticed that a hint of laughter appeared on their faces.
"Why are you two laughing? How dare you have the audacity to laugh!" Brady exclaimed in disbelief.
"We have four children in this family. Are you not afraid of being a bad influence on them?" Sarah quickly cleared her throat. "Brother, it won't happen again."
"You still want there to be a next time!" Brady stood up in anger and paced around.
Antonio also chimed in, "There won't be a next time. Absolutely not."
What a joke!
Brady didn't know what to say. Antonio had crossed a line, now resorting to sneaking into bed in the dead of night.
"You..."
Brady paused, glanced through the gap between the two, and instantly understood what they were laughing about.
"Let go of the hands!" Brady slapped the table in frustration.
He was speechless. Did these two still see him as a high school student?
Antonio and Sarah couldn't hold back their laughter and burst into amusement simultaneously.
Surprisingly, they both felt like they were back in school.
"Uncle, uncle, oh, don't be angry. Let's have breakfast and then go to the amusement park, okay?"
Harper seized the opportunity and quickly held onto Brady.
Brady sighed deeply. Now he finally understood how difficult it was for those teachers who dealt with troublesome students in school.
Just as he was about to take Harper to have a meal, Brian's phone suddenly rang. It was Alex.
"The results of the paternity test are out."
Brian quickly put the phone on speaker. "What are the results of the test?"
