I Remember Nothing, But I Have Four Husbands

"You're back!" Felix cried out in relief, seeing his brothers and Isabelle returning.

Isabelle patted Lucas' broad shoulder, and he immediately put her down. "We worried you." She apologetically smiled at the youngest brother who had been waiting by the fence, staring down at the road.

Felix shook his head. "Was just worried 'bout ya, Belle." The little guy cheekily replied.

"This brat!" And that was how Felix received a rap on the head from Joseph.

Isabelle quietly watched the scene of Joseph chasing after Felix around the courtyard. She widely smiled and all the fatigue accumulated throughout the day suddenly vanished. Ethan and Lucas stored their purchases as she took the box with all the embroidering tools into the house. If she wanted to finish the 100 handkerchiefs on time, she would have to work hard in the following days.

With everything put away, she called out the fighting brothers to eat whatever meal Felix had prepared for dinner.

Dinner was spent harmoniously, though a bit later than usual. The light of the candles and the sotto voices helped create a charming atmosphere. It was very intimate and perfect for talking.

Putting aside her unfinished meal, Isabelle spoke up. "I will be very busy for a week, so I will be unable to help Felix with the house chores. This first job is important, though, and will pocket us 30 coins!" She felt a bit bad because her first self-imposed task in the house was abandoned like that. She did not want them to think that she wanted to slack off.

Felix had been doing the chores almost his whole life, with or without a helper, so he did not mind if she helped or not. What he and his brothers focused on was what she said last. The four brothers were stunned by the fact their not-yet-Wife could provide 30 coins in one go.

30 coins!

Of course, they must have spent more throughout their lives, but they had never had 30 coins in their pockets altogether. Burying their mother and father did not even cost them 5 coins. The most they actually spent were 10 coins, the savings of a few months, and it was used on Isabelle for the medicine and the doctor's treatment.

She would instantly bring 30 coins to the family in just a week! Oh, and there was also the other 10 coins that was her base salary!

Ethan felt his role as the provider of the house was in jeopardy. He felt a bit complicated with the matter, unsure on how to react to the news. Lucas just fell for Isabelle even more; to think the beautiful lady he had whimsically picked up from the wild would be this capable! She was truly a goddess sent to save them, and he became a pious worshiper.

Joseph had never been in charge of making money directly, he just let his elder brothers sell whatever vegetables he cultivated. Whenever he went to Town with them, he never helped with the selling, so he did not have much of an opinion about Isabelle's income apart from quietly throwing a disdainful glance at Ethan. The Wife made more money than the eldest brother.

What a disgrace!

Felix was just happy for the high sum of money they would soon have. Though, he was not happy of the fact that Isabelle would become busy, thus unable to cook for them. If the saying 'the way to a man's heart is through his stomach' was true, then Felix was already conquered by her.

"With 30 coins, I am sure our lifestyle will improve." Isabelle dreamily sighed, wanting very much for the week to pass quickly so she could have that money in her hands. She returned to her food and quickly ate after noticing the brothers were already done. How could they talk and eat at the same time?!

Her words took the brothers out of their own thoughts. Even when they all had different opinions on her income, the most important matter was that she would spend her money so the five could have a better life. With that conclusion in their minds, all drifting thoughts were dispelled.

"It's late. Let's wash up and go to sleep." Ethan said, standing up. He walked to the kitchen to prepare Isabelle's bath while she finished eating.

Moments later, she found herself enjoying a warm bath that eliminated the last of her fatigue from the day, and she completely relaxed. As she rested in the bathtub with her eyes closed, the kitchen's door abruptly opened, making her tense up and look at the person who just entered.

"Joseph, what are you doing here?" She subconsciously covered herself and shrank in the bathtub.

"It's my turn today." He breezily replied. He had quickly washed and changed into his sleeping clothes before coming in. Of course, he also had a long discussion with Ethan about how to better treat Isabelle. After closing the door, he approached Isabelle with a cloth in his hand.

"Your turn?" She asked, looking at Joseph with a guarded expression.

Joseph paused for a moment. Seeing her countenance, he recalled Ethan's words. How to better approach her that would not offend her? Well, Joseph was not that big of a thinker and decided to once again do things his own way. Toeing around the matter would not help; being straightforward was his thing. So, he wetted the cloth in the bathtub's water, unbothered by her curled-up posture, and spoke up.

"Don't play silly with me. Ya know what I'm talkin' about." He crouched behind her and started rubbing her neck and shoulders.

Isabelle felt he softly pushed her, and she obediently leaned forward so he could wash her back. Her eyelashes fluttered. "I… Do you think it is weird?" She had been pondering about it; she could not help it. Even if she had accepted it herself, and the brothers seemed fine with it, she still was afraid of what others would think.

"It's a good kind o' weird fer us." He sincerely replied, making Isabelle loosen up, which he took as a victory and his cue to speak the truth. She deserved it. "The money we used for the doctor and medicine was saved ta buy a woman and make 'er our Wife, ya know. It's hard for the poor ta marry. Buyin' a woman was our last resource; if only as a way to have someone who could take care of our old and decrepit selves in the future."

Isabelle chuckled, but she soon choked as she felt where he was cleaning. "So, am I well-received here?" She softly and shakily asked as he kept rubbing.

"Very much," Joseph huskily whispered near her ear as he leaned closer and closer to her. Her slippery skin as he cleaned her gave him an excellent taste of her body's softness. Much better than his teasing the day before. "You saved us, Isabelle." He declared.

"That… ah! Mm!" She tightly grabbed the edges of the bathtub. She was starting to realize that Joseph was the fierce type; who would go all the way if given the minimum chance. So, she found herself with two of his fingers inside her without any warning. It hurt at first, but he knew what to do once his fingers were in, how to move them, what to rub. "Jo-Joseph… I… I..."

"Hm? You what, Isabelle? Feelin' good? Want me to continue doin' it like this?" He purred by her ear. As his right hand did its job in between her legs, his left hand slowly continued washing her. He was also very aroused, tight and wet in his pants from hearing her melt in front of him; but he first wanted a taste of her.

Isabelle nodded and shook her head, not making any sense. In the end, she turned her head, searching for his lips. "Kiss me… Nn!" He darkly chuckled and gave her what she wanted, knowing she was most likely embarrassed to be heard by the others.

He sincerely did not care if they heard or not. He had the chance to spend some time with her, so he would spend it however he liked it. Joseph swallowed all of Isabelle's moans and whimpers as her body trashed in pleasure.

The lukewarm water splashed around the kitchen's floor, yet Isabelle could not stay still. Joseph not only deliciously slid his fingers in and out, he also hardly pressed and circled her pleasure button that was hidden between her folds making her reach a new level of ecstasy.

Her body barely enjoyed the fast build up before she was already exploding.

"MM! Ah!… Haa… Haa..." She heavily panted as she weakly laid in the bathtub, recovering from her bliss, feeling her pussy throb and her body flinch if she so much as rubbed her sensible parts. He had fingered her very well. Not much later after she calmed down, she heard a grunt from behind her. She stiffened as she realized she had forgotten about him. "Joseph..."

She turned around only to find him squeezing his leaking and red member. Once it turned somewhat flaccid, he pulled up his pants and used the wet cloth he had used to rub Isabelle's body to clean the residues that spilled on her.

He glanced at the distressed Isabelle, and his lower part twitched at her staring. "It's ok. I wanted to do it like this." He reassured her by kissing her cheek.

If he actually wanted for her to make him happy, then it would not only involve their hands. But that was for later. He had been nagged at by Ethan and Lucas not to go all the way with her until they were married. Sincerely, Joseph thought that was hypocrite of Ethan as he had taken a few women's first, but he could not say no to Lucas' glare.

Needless to say, Joseph could not wait for the day they married Isabelle!

With their matters done, they returned to the house where the others were already asleep. It seemed the two took their sweet time in the kitchen, talking and drowning in their pleasure. After Joseph put medicine on Isabelle's wound, which was healing nicely and quickly, they shared a last kiss, then the two separated and moved to their own beds.

That night Isabelle slept contentedly. Not only due to what she did with Joseph, but because of the meaningful and honest conversation she had with him. Despite being a hooligan, he was very sincere with her and dispelled most of her doubts with his claims.

She was obviously very happy.
