Mark’s face turned even darker. “That’s what I want to know as well. Do you think I should cut Brian’s salary in half?”
Arianne stifled a laugh. “Just ask him what’s going on tomorrow. You’re a man as well, so you should know that men would normally spend most of their time on their relationship at the beginning, so it’s normal for them to neglect their work. It’s not as though Brian has committed the same mistake several times. It isn’t a good idea for you to cut his salary right when he needs it the most. Relax, hurry up and get a nice, hot bath. I’m heading to bed first.”
Mark quietly accepted her suggestion. He was not actually going to cut Brian’s salary, but the fact remained that Brian was neglecting his duties recently and Mark needed to sort it out with him.
By the time Mark was done bathing, Arianne had already fallen asleep, Smore was on the bed as well in his mother’s embraces, completely cutting him off. Although there was a really big area all for himself, he was still unsatisfied. He pondered on how he could remove Smore from his mother and place him in his baby cot.
After observing for a while, Mark realized that it was an impossible mission so he helplessly dropped the idea.
The next morning, Mark had been kicked awake by Smore. Smore’s chubby feet were directly on top of his father’s face and he did not hold back his strength.
Smore was not aware that Mark had awakened. He was gleefully sipping on his milk bottle in his hands and stomping his feet while he was at it. Mark wasn’t angered by this. He looked at the time—it was almost 8AM. Arianne had already woken up and was in the bathroom. Mark felt weak this morning. It was likely that he had caught a cold from last night; no wonder he had woken up late.
Mark took the opportunity when Arianne was not around to tickle Smore’s feet. Smore giggled and retracted his feet. With the milk bottle in his hands, he climbed onto Mark and called out to him, “Horsie!”
Arianne immediately ran out after hearing the commotion. “Smore! Didn’t I tell you not to disturb your daddy?”
