My Husband, Warm The Bed

Lionel suddenly felt that his son was in his way! Indeed, he had felt this way for the last three years. Lionel really wanted Larry to sleep in his own room, but the child was extremely adorable and was birthed by Lionel's beloved wife. Hence, he could not bear to leave Larry all alone.

Karen Joy discontentedly said, "Larry, didn't I tell you that you shouldn't interrupt us when we kiss? Why don't you listen?"

Larry rushed over and hugged his father's thigh. "But you haven't kissed me yet. If you don't kiss me, I won't be able to sleep." Lionel scooped him up and said, "Okay, I'll give our little third wheel a kiss first."

Larry was so happy to be kissed by his father that he proclaimed proudly, "Dad, I'll protect mom when you're not home." Lionel nodded and praised him, "You did a good job! Let me give you another kiss"

Karen Joy huffed, "Well, you two can keep kissing each other. I'm leaving."

Lionel and Larry said together, "No, we love you the most."

Karen Joy said, "You know what to do, then."

Lionel, with Larry in his arms, walked over to Karen Joy and kissed her on both cheeks. They said, "Don't be angry."

Karen Joy raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "That's more like it."

Larry waved his hand. "Okay, everyone has kissed. We can go to sleep now."

Karen Joy and Lionel were silent.

This child was truly naughty.

The couple had to work together to coax Larry to sleep first. Only then did they have the time to talk.

Lionel led Karen Joy's hand to his chest, "Tell me what happened today?"

Karen Joy said, "You don't have to worry about family matters. Just focus on your work."

Lionel argued, "I am also a member of this family."

Karen Joy poked at him. "Nobody said you aren't a member of this family, so why are you so worked up? I just don't want you to worry and feel exhausted. You're always working so hard to keep us well cared for, but I can't help you with your work! So how could I burden you with more worries?"

Lionel reassured her, "I'd be glad to worry about things related to you. Really."

Karen Joy smiled and said, "I know you would."

Lionel tried to hold Karen Joy in his arms, but with Larry in between them, there was not much they could do. "Two more months. Just two more months and we'll let this little guy sleep on his own." Karen Joy said, "Are you willing to part with him?"

Karen Joy thought that since Larry was a boy, they should let go and let him learn to be independent earlier. However, Lionel had been the one who could not bear to part with him. He was afraid that Larry would not be able to sleep alone, and would cry in the middle of the night, looking for his parents.

Lionel carefully carried Larry to one side of the big bed, making it easier for him to embrace Karen Joy into his arms. "From now on, once he falls asleep, I'll move him to the side. Then, we can sleep together." Karen Joy laughed, "Childish!"

Lionel continued, "Julien is an adult who knows what he's doing. Although love and marriage involve two families, the prerequisite is that the couple must be in love. In that way, they'd be able to make it through, no matter how tough it is."

Karen Joy held Lionel's hand happily. "Lionel, you're praising our own relationship again, aren't you?" Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Lionel replied, "Of course."

Karen Joy giggled happily, "You're not wrong. Alright, let's sleep. You've got work tomorrow."

Lionel said, "Karen, I have a suggestion."

Karen Joy asked, "What is it?"

Lionel replied, "Go with your mother, to meet that girl Julien fancies. Ask her what she thinks."

Karen Joy immediately shook her head. "No. Julien told us not to meddle in his matters. If he found out that we had secretly gone to meet the girl, he would definitely get mad. I don't want my parents to feel sad over his matters anymore."

Lionel replied, "You guys are worried, but you can't meet that girl. There must be a way."

Karen Joy sighed, "Let's just let it be. I'm sure it will get sorted out in the end."

Besides Karen Joy and Lionel, Karen and Kevin who were in another room were also wrecking their minds over the same matter. Sleep did not find its way to Karen and Kevin. Pulling Karen into his arms, Kevin said, "Stop thinking about it, and sleep."

She gave Kevin a punch and said, "That's our son, how can I not think about it?"

Every time she thought of how she had neglected Julien, Karen felt as if someone was dragging a blade across her heart. If only she had not taken Julien's maturity for granted all these years, if only she had cared more...

However, there were no ifs. It was a cold and hard fact that they had neglected their youngest son. It was only natural for him to be angry at them.

Kevin said, "I'll send someone to check out the girl."

Karen said, "Don't do that, Kevin. Julien will definitely give you a hard time if you ran a background check on her."

Kevin said, "You're worried, yet you won't allow me to help."

Karen said, "I believe in Julien and his judgement. There must be something about that girl that makes him like her so much. Love is a matter between two people. No matter how worried we are, we can't stand in their way. We'd better not worry about it."

Kevin rubbed her head affectionately and said, "That's right."

No matter how hard he tried to persuade her to see things his way, it would prove to be an unfruitful attempt. This was something she had to figure out on her own.

Everyone in the Kyle family was worried, Vanessa included. When she was just about to rest, she received a call from Winnie. Apparently, Lawrie had been feeling unwell since the afternoon. She thought that he would be fine after having some antipyretics. Unexpectedly, his temperature had risen higher in the evening.

Winnie was extremely worried and afraid for Lawrie. She dared not keep Vanessa in the dark about this, so she decided to give her a call.

After the call, Vanessa immediately got up to put on a coat before rushing into the neighborhood. She found Lawrie very ill, tipping off the edge of consciousness as he incessantly called out for his mother, "Mommy, I'll be good. I won't be sick in the future. Don't leave me, okay?"

Vanessa held Lawrie close and comforted him, "Lawrie, I'm here. You're my baby. How could I ever leave you?"

"Mommy," Lawrie said weakly, "It hurts very much."

Vanessa held him even tighter and said, "I know it hurts, baby. We'll go see a doctor at the hospital now. You'll feel better afterwards."

With his frail, tiny hands, Lawrie clutched the hem of Vanessa's shirt tightly. "Mommy, will I die?"

Vanessa shook her head assuredly, "No, you won't. You'll be fine after seeing the doctor and taking some medicine."

Lawrie said petulantly, "I take a lot of medicine, but I still get sick. They tell me that I will die if I'm not cured, but I'm not afraid of dying. I'm afraid of not seeing Mommy again."
