"Today, I want Daddy to bathe me."
The words from her mouth shocked both of them. All of a sudden she wanted her daddy to bathe her. It wasn't a big deal but... Noah had never bathed a child before so he was nervous. He was a wreck.
He wanted to reject it and opt to just watch this time. He looked at Michael, giving him a signal to stop his daughter but Michael laughed first before saying,
"Then, shall we show your Daddy how it's done first?" Michael suggested. "He'll also help to pour the water so it should be fine, right?"
"Hm, I guess that's fine." Olivia said.
Michael turned to Noah and then winked. Seeing this, Noah's heart thumped once more.
The little gestures Michael had been displaying were getting his heart thumping and racing, as if he were a high school boy in love.
This feeling... It was like falling in love all over again.
It was sweet. It was peaceful. It was... His.
Michael took off Olivia's clothes and then dropped her into the empty bathtub.
