Without being told, the young lad wisely shifted to the end of the swing, keeping a good amount of distance from Madeline before she inflicts further damage to his harmless stomach.
Like having a mother who has the ability of attaining a black belt wasn't already enough for him, he has a wife who won't grant him access to kiss her.
"Do you still need a kiss, dear husband?" Madeline asked with a cheeky smile incase he didn't get her message clearly, and he instantly rejected, to her expectations.
"You are too kind Maddie, but I think I've had enough kisses for a day." He uttered the last statement under his breath, rubbing his poor stomach that had to suffer the wrath of his own silly request.
