novelxo Chapter 1361
"Jayden, don't tell me that you think I'm wrong?" Mia asked. Mia had always been very laidback. She would do and say whatever she wanted. Jayden said helplessly, "You are right, Aunt Mia."
Fortunately, there was still someone in their family who could control Mia. Otherwise, she would be extremely unruly!
Rumor had it that the ladies decided to go on a 2-day holiday by themselves. The men from the Kyle family were unhappy with the news after hearing it.
Not even halfway through his dinner, Kevin had to excuse himself as he was busy with work.
Karen sighed silently, "What a petty man. Even after all these years!"
Neil was displeased as well. However, he could not be mad at Mia as she was even more hot-tempered than him. Since he could not take her home and he refused to hold it back on his own, therefore he took Levi, who was planning to go with Mia, with him.
"But, Dad, it was Mom who left you behind. It's not me. Why are you mad at me?" Levi complained.
Neil replied, "Am I?"
Levi stood up and said, "You took me away without my permission. I'm already a grownup and I'm not a child anymore, don't think you could do whatever you want to me. Additionally, I will be 12 years old next year!"
"I don't care about you turning 12, you are still a child in my heart even if you are in your twenties," Neil replied.
Levi grumbled, "All you do is bully me. Stop Mom from going if you can."
"Brat, I haven't settled that incident with you last time. You'd better be honest with me," Neil said.
Levi blinked, put on an innocent look, and said, "Dad, Mom has been arrogant and always bullied the both of us. Didn't you ever think of getting me a new mother?"
Reaching out his hand, Neil put a slap to Levi's butt. "You little brat, trying to trap me, yeah? You're still too inexperienced."
Levi remained silent.
"Fine! Originally, I wanted to lay down some traps to prove that he is cheating but that didn't seem to work. However, he will reveal himself one day, and once I get hold of the evidence, he wouldn't dare to bully me again," Levi thought to himself.
Kevin was furious, Neil left the table, and the only person left was Lionel who appeared calm and collected. Everyone thought that he was cool with Karen Joy leaving him behind forthetrip.
Ever since Silvia came to Chatterton Town, Karen Joy had been staying at her parents' place and hadn't returned home in about 10 days. That day, Lionel was prepared to welcome her home, but who knew that he would receive news about his wife leaving him again for a vacation?
"You're still the best, Lionel. You spoil me in every way possible, unlike Dad and Uncle Neil who pulled long faces," Karen Joy said happily while placing some food in his bowl. She thought to herself that Lionel was the most considerate out of all the men in the family.
Lionel wanted to leave, but with the compliments from his wife, he managed to suppress his emotions and withhold his temper.
"Lionel, this is your favorite dish. Have some." Karen Joy, not knowing what was going on in Lionel's head, happily served him some food.
"Alright. You have some too." Lionel was able to endure it because he wanted her to be happy.
"Thank you, Lionel." Karen Joy truly felt that Lionel was more considerate than her father and Uncle Neil.
Lionel held it in throughout dinner. After the meal, he brought Karen Joy into her room. Slamming the door shut with his leg, he turned around and carried her, pressing her against the door. He then lowered his head and kissed her aggressively.
That kiss was so sudden, which caught her off guard. She instinctively struggled, but she enjoyed it too. She liked it as long as the kisser was him, regardless of whether he was gentle or playing it rough. She hooked her arms around his neck and enthusiastically responded. As Lionel was trying to proceed further, Karen Joy let out a satisfied sigh and said, "Let's have a baby, Lionel." Previously, she wanted to have a child but Lionel was busy and had no time to take care of a child. Hence, she waited and waited until she got the green light from him. She would wait until he was ready. However, seeing Silvia having a sudden miscarriage, Karen Joy felt the urge to have a child, a child who belongs to both of them. She wanted to start a family with Lionel. Hearing her request, Lionel froze in place and looked at her with a deep gaze.
"Can you do it? Can we have a baby?" Noticing his calm reaction, Karen Joy felt uneasy and couldn't help wrapping her arms tightly around him. "Lionel, why wouldn't you let me get pregnant?" "Karen Joy..." Lionel continued to kiss her and said, "I am really busy at the moment, let's talk about this next time. Besides, I am more than happy to have you around, and that's enough for me. It doesn't matter to me whether we have a child or not."
"But, I want a child. Your child. Don't you want to have a child with me?" she asked. She knew Lionel loved her very much, but she couldn't figure out why he would repeatedly reject her, always saying that he was busy with work.
Karen Joy knew he had his reasons but she just couldn't understand. She was so dispirited that she was on the brink of tears.
"Karen Joy... Don't cry..." It was not because of work that Lionel didn't want a child. It was because his mother almost died giving birth to him. In addition to that trauma, Lionel was aware of many cases of death during labor and didn't want that to happen to Karen Joy.
Since young, Karen Joy was always pampered by her family at home. He felt blessed just by being able to marry her. He only wanted to bring loads of happiness into her life, not sufferings. "Lionel, I'm begging you. I just want a baby." Karen Joy hugged him tightly and repeatedly rubbed against his chest. "Let's do it today. No contraceptives!"
"Karen Joy..."
"Lionel..."
He didn't want a baby for her sake. However, if that went against her wishes and would make her sad, then what was the point of sticking to that? He told her, "Karen Joy, aren't you scared of giving birth? Carrying a baby to term is not easy."
"No! I'm not afraid! I'm willing to suffer because you're the father!" She knew it would be tough to be pregnant and give birth later, but she was willing to go through all these for the man she loved, for the man who adored her. There was nothing else that could put fear in her.
