Chapter 1449
The moment they arrived home, Karen noticed a little figure running towards her. She immediately spread her arms to catch Larry and kissed him over and over again. She said, "Oh, my little baby, I miss you so much."
Larry happily snuggled in Karen's arms and said in a childish tone, "I miss Grandma too. I miss you so much. I miss you so much that I couldn't eat."
"Really?" Karen looked at Larry seriously, "My poor baby seems to be skinnier. What should I do? I am so distressed."
Larry quickly stroked Karen's head and comforted, "Grandma, I'm not skinnier. I'm close to 30 pounds now! Mom said that I'm a big baby and she said she can't carry me anymore. Only Dad can carry me now."
"Did she really say that about you, Larry?" Karen picked Larry up and said, "Don't you think I'm amazing, then? I can still carry you although you're a big baby!"
Larry clapped his hands and said, "Grandma, you're awesome! I love you!"
"Ahem..." Kevin, who was being neglected, cleared his throat with a straight face, reminding them not to forget about him.
Karen understood his temper. She quickly gave Larry to Kevin and said, "Larry, Grandpa missed you too. You miss him too, don't you?"
Larry didn't want Kevin to carry him. He struggled to escape from his embrace. "I don't want Grandpa to carry me!"
Seeing that Larry disliked him so much, Kevin's face fell. Kevin thought that Larry was just as annoying as Lionel. Both of them would always steal the attention of the two women he cherished
the most. As long as Larry was around, Karen and Karen Joy would not notice his presence at all.
Karen quickly took him back and said, "Larry, Grandpa loves you very much. He just wants to carry you. Why don't you let him do that?"
Larry leaned into Karen's ear and whispered, "Grandpa looks angry. I don't like angry people."
Karen looked at Kevin with a mocking look. "See, only I can tolerate that cold face. Even Larry doesn't want you to carry him. You should go stand in a corner and reflect on yourself."
"Hmph..." Kevin's kept a straight face as he walked away in a huff.
Larry pouted his lips. "Grandpa, you're not cute at all. Greatgrandpa is still the cutest. He's just as cute as me. I want to play with him later."
Karen smiled and said, "If your Grandpa is not cute, then what about Uncle Julien? Is he cute?"
Without a second thought, Larry shook his head with all his might. "No, he's not cute either."
Karen asked, "Why is that so?"
Larry said honestly, "Because Uncle Julien is just like Grandpa."
Karen asked again, "What about Uncle Levi then?"
Larry quickly nodded, "Uncle Levi is cute too, but not as cute as me. Grandma, Uncle Levi hasn't come to see me for quite a while now. Has he forgotten about me?"
Karen pinched his flushed face and said, "Uncle Levi has gone to a fun place. He won't be back for a while. Larry, you have to resist the yearning for him."
Larry grabbed the key word that he had noticed and asked, "A fun place? Why didn't he bring me with him?"
Karen walked towards the house with Larry in her arms and explained, "You're still young.
You can only go there when you're all grown up."
Larry raised his little hands and carefully counted with his tiny fingers, "One, two, three... Grandma, I'm already three years old and I will be four very soon. I'm not a baby anymore."
Karen was amused by this cute and quirky baby. She laughed and said, "Yes, Larry is a little man already."
Larry nodded and said, "Grandma, I don't want you to carry anymore. I want to walk by myself."
Karen put him down and said, "Okay, you little man, you can walk by yourself then."
Larry grabbed Karen's hand and said, "Dad said that men have to protect girls. I will protect you, Grandma."
"Yes. You'll protect me." Whenever Karen looked at Larry, this adorable grandson, she just could not help but feel happy. Larry would always make her think of her eldest son, Jayden Elias Kyle.
Jayden was the eldest child in the Kyle family. His younger sister's son was already three years old but Jayden's wife, Silvia, had not been able to conceive a child...
Karen was not eager to have more grandchildren, nor was it because Jayden wanted a child. It was Silvia who desperately wanted a child. Whenever Silvia met Larry, she would hold him, and she would refuse to let go. She would look at Larry as if he were a child of her own!© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Due to the miscarriage, Silvia had not been able to get pregnant. Although Jayden did not mind it, Karen knew that Silvia wanted a child very much. All these years, Jayden had also cooperated with Silvia to prepare for a new pregnancy. However, after so many years, there was still no news of it.
Recalling the disappointed look on Silvia's face, Karen was distressed. However, there was nothing she could do to help them. It was all up to God's will.
"Mom, I miss you so much!" As soon as Karen and Larry arrived at the door, Karen Joy came over and gave her a big hug, "A day feels like a year when you're not around, Mom."
Karen said with a smile, "I've been wondering why Larry has become such a smooth talker. It turns out that he had learned it all from his mother."
Karen Joy said happily, "I really miss you."
"I miss you too." Karen patted her daughter's back lovingly, but unexpectedly, Lionel was not around. Karen asked, "Karen Joy, where is
Lionel?"
Karen Joy said, "He just came back with us. He answered a call and said that there was something important that he needs to deal. He went to work and will come back after."
Karen said, "My precious daughter's so fortunate to have married such a capable man! What's more, he pampers you so much, like you're a little princess!"
Karen Joy said, "Isn't that the same for Dad? He pampers you too!"
Karen pouted and said indignantly, "Your dad? All he does is try to look cool. Frankly, only I can tolerate his strange temper."
Just then, Karen looked towards Kevin, who was sitting in the living room. She immediately added, "However, although he is a little cold, he treats me really well and I've become the subject of many people's envy for having such a good husband. Your Aunt Faye even called me two days ago to praise him! I really could not bear listening to her endless commendations of him!"
Karen Joy refuted, "So, Mom, in your heart, Dad is still the best man in the world, right?"
Karen nodded. "Well, I guess you're right!"
Karen knew that if she did not say that, Kevin would definitely be angry at her again. If he did get mad, he might not even say a word to her later that night. Hence, she could only give in.
