My Husband, Warm The Bed

Larry held the glass up and gulped down the water. Once he finished, he wanted to go to the bathroom. He told Karen Joy, "Mommy, I want to pee."

"Larry, why are you so troublesome?" Although she found it annoying, Karen Joy still took him to the bathroom. After he was done, she brought him back to the room and asked, "Larry, come on. Tell us who you met today."

Larry knew that he was very important to the family. Every time he was present, he would be the center of attention. However, he was now given attention for a different reason. It was not because of himself, but because of whom he had met earlier.

He felt slightly unhappy, knowing that someone else had gotten more attention than him from his family members. He said, "Grandma, Grand Aunt Mia, Mom, don't you love me anymore?"

Karen picked Larry up and said, "Larry, you are the loveliest baby in our family. How can we not love you?"

Mia poked Larry's head and said, "Just answer our question, kid."

Karen Joy also followed suit and poked Larry's head, "What have you been thinking about all day long, Larry? We all love you so much, so how could you think we don't?

Larry knew that everyone loved him. He was just bitter that someone else had gotten everyone's attention instead of him. Not only did Uncle Julien like Vanessa more, even the elders who doted on him at home also cared more about Vanessa. Larry was sour with envy.

He replied, "When I came back from kindergarten, you cared about what I had eaten and had done, but you didn't ask about me today. You only asked about who Uncle Julien brought me to see. I'm sad." Larry was definitely jealous.

The women in the Kyle family instantly understood the situation. Karen said, "Alright then, let's not ask who Larry has met today. Where have you been today? Who did you have lunch with?" Mia played along and chirped, "That's right, we really want to know what you were up to today."

Karen Joy nodded and said, "I guess Larry must have had a good time today."

The women in the family were great actors. How could a young child like Larry resist their attention, their praises? In an instant, he had forgotten about being sad.

Larry answered, "Uncle Julien brought me to the hospital and left. Then at noon, Vanessa cooked for me..."

Karen Joy's ears perked up, hearing the key word. "Are you talking about Vanessa Love, Larry? You sure you got the name right?"

Larry pouted, lips pushed forward, "Mom, I'm not stupid. How could I forget her name? Vanessa is so pretty and she's so nice to me. Her son's also very cute. I'm like his big brother now!" Larry had a very pleasant time with Vanessa today. His face was bright with jolly as he talked about the mother and son.

Karen noted, "You seem to like Vanessa very much."

Larry nodded, "Vanessa makes yummy chicken wings. I like them very much."

"Karen Daly, get to the point already." Mia was impatient, so she asked Larry, "Larry, does Vanessa have a son named Lawrie?"

Larry nodded, "His name is Lawrie. He's as cute as I am, but he can't run as fast as I can because he's sick. He also needs to take medicine and get shots. It's so sad, I don't ever want to be sick anymore." "Larry, if you don't want to get sick, you need to take care of yourself and not be picky with food, do you understand?" Karen was not aware of what illness Lawrie had. She did not give much thought to the matter as she assumed that his ailment was not something critical, such as a cold or a stomachache.

Larry answered obediently, "Yes, I know."

"Good boy!" Karen and Karen Joy had willingly let Julien take Larry with him just so they could get him to come back with the information they wanted to know. Now they knew that the rumors online were true - that the fiance of Rovio's president had a child. The only incongruence was that Vanessa was cited by online articles to be a vicious, calculating woman, unlike the woman Larry had described as kind and beautiful.

Children did not know much, but they were excellent judges of one's character based on their own intuitions. Karen had faith in Larry's words - that Vanessa was a kind person. As long as she was a nice, kind woman at her core who Julien liked, Karen did not mind her past. As long as she was willing to join the Kyle family, they would welcome her with open arms.

Karen placed Larry down and touched his head. "Thank you for your hard work today, darling. Now, go wash your hands and get ready for dinner." "Yay! Dinner time!" Larry had been starving since he got back home. Hearing that dinner was ready, he quickly made a dash to get his hands washed.

Mia on the other hand, was much more skeptical. "Karen Daly, are you sure this is all?"

Karen asked, "Well, what else do you have in mind?"

Mia said, "Larry's just a kid. He doesn't know much. That woman hasn't joined the Kyle family yet, so who's to say she isn't just pretending to be nice to please Larry! It's possible that she's just putting on a show. We'll see her true colors once she joins the family. I'll have to see for myself whether she's just acting or not."

"Mia, don't be rash," Karen said, her voice slightly raised. "Do you really think that the men in our family are idiots? Do you think any random woman can be part of our family so easily? Mia retorted, "Well, isn't that the case?"

Karen rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Let me tell you both, if it weren't for my good temper, no one would be able to endure a man who chooses to stay silent for decades when he's mad." Mia remarked, "True, Kevin's like that, but he treats you well."

"You only see his good side. When he was mad at me last night, he totally ignored me." When it came to Kevin, it was a love-hate relationship. "I don't know what happened. Julien was so cute, mature, and likable when he was a child. I thought he had inherited my good genes. Who knew that the older he got, the more he acted just like his father. The resemblance is uncanny when they're angry."

Mia said, "Alright, I admit that these are their flaws, but they are both handsome and rich. They're even ranked by women around the word as the two most desirable men to marry." sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

What Mia said was the truth. Karen could hardly argue with that. "Fine, you're right. However, I'll have the final say regarding Vanessa. Don't act so recklessly, or else I'll send you to the army for a few days." Mia was fuming as she yelled, "How could you threaten me! Are you even still that kind and beautiful sister-in-law of mine?"

Karen smiled slyly and said, "Well, I've long-married your brother and secured the coveted position of Mrs. Kyle! Clearly, I can now show my true colors."

Mia was flabbergasted.

This time, she had fallen into her own trap.
