A Husband For Killer Mom

“Hey! What is that supposed to mean?”

“Look at where we are. We can defeat these creeps in no time.”

“Richie, it’s only because we have a high-level avatar.”

“Still, it’s too easy. Besides, why are there no monsters here at all? We can pass through without lifting a finger.”

“You won’t say that after this. This floor has an epic-tier monster and is different from other creeps, and it has...” before Kendrich could continue his explanation, an ear-splitting cursed escape from Richard.

“WHAT THE HECK?!” Without warning, Richard’s avatar’s hp lessened drastically until it was half. Knowing what had happened with Richard’s avatar, the other four avatars spun around quickly to see what kind of monster had attacked Richard.

Diego’s avatar character was a priest who could heal wounds so he could boost Richard’s blood to full again.

Just when Diego managed to heal Richard’s avatar, Diego’s avatar’s blood decreased more than the first attack, making the others even more excited to finish this game.

.....

“Kenken, what kind of monster is this?”

“A chameleon-like monster but has a body like a chimera. Its main skill is making itself invisible, and only a mage with the eye of truth could track its location.”

Invisible? How will they defeat an invisible enemy? Furthermore, they didn’t have a mage with an eye of truth skill. If this fifty-first floor was this difficult, Richard couldn’t imagine how challenging it would be against the main boss on the hundredth floor.

“See? It’s not easy.” came the proud comment from Kendrich as if he had won a trophy.

Without realizing it, Richard had been playing with his cousin for nearly two hours, and they were still on the seventieth floor.

It seemed they wouldn’t be able to clear the hundredth floor that day either. That was Richard’s thought because he had forgotten about one thing. He believed the game would end soon as he was already feeling sleepy, considering it was four in the morning. Yet, he forgot that his cousins ??living in the states were still energetic and could play for hours because it was still ten in the evening.

Nevertheless, Richard was not sleepy when he defeated dozens of unusual monsters in this game. He was even more excited to conquer all the monsters on his monitor screen.

Sometimes Richard complained or teased his brother, who couldn’t hit a single monster. Richard spoke in a loud voice to comment or react to the taunts of his brothers. He had totally forgotten that he was on the balcony with his wife and baby girl sleeping inside the room.

After all, he didn’t have to worry about waking up the two, considering the distance between the bed and the balcony was quite far. Little did he know, Anxia woke up and found Richard had not returned. Not because she heard loud bickering from outside but because Anxia’s body system would wake her up automatically every time the clock struck four in the morning.

Anxia raised both her hands up to stretch her body muscles, then glanced to her side. She smiled gently, seeing her daughter still sleeping soundly as if no burden filled the tiny child’s head.

She was satisfied that her little angel was returning to her usual self. Anxia didn’t want her daughter to worry about anything in this world, and she would do anything to make that happen.

Satisfied with looking at her daughter’s tiny face, Anxia glanced at the space next to Lori. Richard should have been there, and she was sad that she didn’t see her husband when she woke up.

Anxia recalled the guy said something about playing online games or something. The fact she was awake by now meant it was already four o’clock or so, but he still hadn’t gone back to sleep. Anxia stood up and walked towards the balcony, only to find that her beloved husband was still sitting there, playing the same game.

Had Richard not slept at all and been playing?

Anxia opened the door slowly, which Richard couldn’t hear because a game headset covered his ears.

Then Anxia surprised him by hugging his neck from behind, breaking Richard’s concentration instantly.

His right hand, which was moving the mouse, as well as his left hand, which had previously been dancing on the laptop keyboard, suddenly halted. He became motionless when he felt two round bulges on his back.

Instantly his body tensed, and his heart raced as he felt a pleasant breath on his neck.

Because Richard’s avatar didn’t move at all, his avatar died immediately from the monsters’ attacks on the floor.

“Hey, Richie! What’s wrong with you? Is someone struck your hand?”

“Don’t tell me... the connection is lost?”

“Perhaps, he’s sleeping by now.”

“No way!! Brother Diego, resurrect him. We won’t be able to go to the next floor without the fifth member.”

Diego obediently complied with his cousin’s order and revived Richard’s avatar. But the next second, Richard’s avatar died again because the monsters attacked the still-motionless Richard.

The cousins didn’t know whether they had to laugh or cry, realizing the creeps were quite clever to attack the motionless Richard instead of them.

“Richie!”

“Richard, I can’t get you back up for two minutes. There is a cool-down period to activate my abilities.”

“Hhhh...” Raymond sighed because Richard had not responded to his siblings’ comments.

“Brother? Are you still with us?”

“Could something have happened there?”

“It looks like the connection is lost.”

“That’s highly impossible. The avatar will also disappear if the connection is lost.” Kendrich explained.

“Richard,”

“Richie,”

“Hoi, Richard!! Are you still there?”

Anxia, ??who didn’t understand why her husband suddenly became silent, also heard the screams of four men coming from Richard’s headset.

With a smooth movement, Anxia took off her husband’s headset and whispered in his ear.

“Richie, you’re not going to respond to them?”

“...”

“...”

“...”

“...”

Abruptly the sound of shouting and calling from Richard’s headset became silent. Anxia was utterly unaware that her voice had entered the speaker mic and all of Richard’s siblings heard her voice. After all, she was sure her voice wouldn’t be heard because she said it in a low voice, without knowing that Richard’s headset had a high-sensitivity mic.

“Richie, are you alright?”

“Ehem...” Richard cleared his throat awkwardly as he still enjoyed the bump on his back and the fresh scent of his wife’s body. Somehow the scent that came out of Anxia’s body when the girl just woke up felt better and very tempting.

“Can you let me go?” asked Richard in a hoarse voice.

“Why?”

“I won’t be able to control myself if you hold me like this.”

The four men who heard Richard’s conversation with Anxia tried their best not to comment. It was obvious they knew Richard had forgotten that his headset function was still on, and they could all hear their conversation as clear as day.

It was too interesting that they no longer cared about finishing the game and were worried that Richard to cut off their connection. When else would they all be able to hear Richard’s wide-world seduction that he never showed his siblings?

On the other side, Anxia released her hug as she didn’t want to be eaten by her husband early this morning. Moreover, their daughter was still sleeping in the room! How could he still say vulgar words to her?

She only hugged him because she realized she was missing him and yearned for his warmth. But who ever thought that Richard’s whole body was as icy as the north pole due to being outside, exposed to the night air for a long time? Anxia offered warmth by hugging him tight, but Richard responded in the most vulgar way.

“Tsk. You really are a master of ruining the mood.” her whinny tone invited a chuckle from Richard’s mouth.

“You can’t blame me for being unable to control myself. You’re too alluring.” Richard pulled his wife’s hand to settle her on his lap.

Obediently, Anxia complied and comfortably rested her head on her husband’s shoulder.

“Why don’t you sleep some more? It’s still four.”

“How can I sleep if you’re not by my side?” her sweet answer made Richard feel like a cupid hit his heart with a love arrow.

Since when did his wife learn to say sweet and pleasing words? Moreover, why was his wife acting like a spoiled child and putting on this adorable expression? Oh, how he wished to go back to sleep hugging his wife rather than finish this ridiculous yet addicting game with his cousins.

Wait a minute! Games with his cousins?

Richard immediately glanced at the headset, which had been on top of his laptop for some time. But what surprised him even more were the chat boxes displayed at the edge of his laptop monitor screen!

Yes, his cousins were quiet and muted their mics, but they all had been texting and chatting with each other!?
