True Love Waits

Chapter 1403 Evidence Of Crime

What Matthew wasn't aware of was that after he headed to the shower, the four kids sneaked out and orchestrated a grand plan behind his back. Later that night, Adkins and Boswell went to sleep with Matthew on one end of the bed, while Colman and Damian slept with Erica on the other end. Obediently, the kids closed their eyes as soon as they lay down.

Since two of his sons weren't letting him work anymore, Matthew gave up on the idea and went to sleep with them.

After a long time, the bedroom was quiet again. Matthew then sat up and got out of bed in silence.

He first picked up Damian on the other end of the bed where he was sleeping, and then Colman...

"Ah! Dad! I caught you!" Colman, who was supposed to be asleep in Matthew's arms, screamed all of a sudden. The other three children all sat up immediately.

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.

Deep down, he wanted to grab the kids and slap each one on their buttocks. Casting a
