My Husband, Warm The Bed

Mia revealed, "It's all because of that brat, Levi. Really, I regret giving birth to him. If I hadn't insisted on keeping him back then, such a thing wouldn't have happened. I'm starting to wonder if God had decided to send him to me as a punishment for being too arrogant."

Karen asked with concern, "What happened exactly?"

"Remember that girl, Vanessa Love?" Mia planned to keep this to herself, but keeping a secret was no easy task. If she continued keeping mum, she would feel too uneasy. She had no appetite and was not even able to sleep well. It was if she had aged a lot in just a short period.

When Mia mentioned Vanessa, Karen said helplessly, "Are you unhappy because I told you not to look for Vanessa?"

Mia was so anxious that she stamped his feet. "Karen, what are you talking about? I'm talking about Levi, not Vanessa." Karen said, "But you mentioned Vanessa."

Mia continued, "What I'm trying to say is... Levi likes her too! Even though Julien has declared that he likes her! How could Levi do such a thing? Not only did he say that he likes her, he even said that she's the only woman she'd marry in this life. This son of mine is driving me mad!"

Karen inquired, "Who told you about this?"

Mia answered angrily, "Levi did. He said this himself."

Upon hearing that, a wave of relief washed over Karen. "Oh Mia, you're his mother. Don't you understand your son well enough?"

Mia said, "Karen, I'm worried because I understand his character well. Although he acts like he's never serious, when he's obsessed about something, there's no stopping him from getting what he wants." Karen added, "Have you ever considered the possibility that he's lying to you about this?"

"Now, why would he...." Before she could finish her sentence, Mia seemed to have caught a glimmer of hope. "Karen, why do you think so? Do you think it's because he's trying to screw with me for sending him to the army?"

Karen patiently explained, "Although Julien and Levi grew up together, their personalities are completely different. They have never been interested in the same things ever since they were kids. I'm pretty sure that they have different taste in women as well, so I don't think they'd like the same person."

"How dare he lie to me. I'll make him suffer for this one day." Hearing what Karen had said, Mia looked like she had been instantly brought back to life. "Karen, I'm glad I talked to you. How did I not think of this? I've been worried sick for nearly a month."

Karen poked Mia's forehead and spoke to her as if she was a little child, "You still haven't grown up after all these years,."

"That's because Neil likes me like this. There's no need for me to be matured," Mia smiled. Once her good mood returned, so did her appetite. "Everyone's home today. What good food have you prepared for lunch, Karen?"

Karen said, "Since everyone's here, I've made everyone's favorite dish."

Mia hugged Karen and said, "Karen, it's a blessing to have you here. After Mother passed, this house would have definitely felt nothing like a home without you around."

Karen said, "Even if someone else had become your sister-in-law, she would still take good care of this family."

Mia rebutted, "That's impossible because Kevin only likes you. Besides you, no one else can be my sister-in-law."

She said sourly, "Who knows?"

Kevin's temper had gotten worse recently because of Julien. He had even gotten mad at her and ignored her a few times. Karen vowed that if Kevin gets angry again, she would not take the initiative to reconcile with him.

"Grandma, Aunt Mia, what are you talking about? Can I join in?" Larry stuck out half of his head from the door looking as excited as ever to join in the conversation.

Karen walked up to him and held him in her arms. "It's a secret between adults. Children cannot listen to it!"

Larry pouted and asked, "Not even me?"

Karen kissed him and said, "You're special, Larry, so of course you can join in."

Hearing that, Larry was overjoyed. He excitedly asked, "Grandma, tell me. What are you two talking about?"

She said, "We're talking about you. You've grown taller and cuter." Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Larry said, "I know I'm cute. Everyone at home tells me that. Even the teachers and my friends at school tell me that."

Karen smiled, "Wow, even the kindergarten teachers and children all know that you're cute. We'll have to treat you better in the future. Otherwise, you might get abducted by them."

Larry softly said, "Grandma, I love you all the most. No one can take me away."

"You're such a sweet child," Karen said, happy to hear that from Larry. They were fortunate to have such a cute child in the family. Otherwise, if she would have gotten too frustrated, having to face two cold, indifferent faces every day.

Mia also praised Larry, "Yes, you're our precious baby."

Karen Joy came, "Don't praise him too much. It's going to get to his head!"

Larry said, "No, it won't, Mom."

His words made the three women laugh again. After that, Karen Joy said with a serious face, "Mom, you'd better go see Dad. He won't come down to eat with us if you don't talk to him."

Karen stated pettily, "If he doesn't want to eat, then let's just let him be. After all, he'll be the one starving, not me."

Karen Joy said, "But you'll be worried."

Her mother replied, "Who would care about a block of wood?"

Karen Joy took Larry over and advised, "Mom, stop being so stubborn. Go and get Dad. If he really doesn't eat, you know you're going to stress over it."

"Look at you two! Every time you're unhappy, your husbands will try their best to cheer you up. But when it comes to me, has he ever tried cheering me up? I'm always the one to compromise first. So, no matter what, I won't be the one compromising this time," Karen said, voice full of envy.

Together, Mia and Karen Joy said, "Okay, let him starve then. He wouldn't die from skipping a meal anyway."
