My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1451

After the phone call with Harper, silence found its way to Vanessa once again. The man whom she had been looking for for years but to no avail had actually showed up right before her. She did not know whether this was a blessing, or a curse.

Ding, ding, ding...

Her cell phone rang again, and the caller this time was Julien. Vanessa took a few deep breaths to regain her composure, then answered the call, "Hello!"

Julien's usual indifferent voice sounded through the phone, "Who was on the phone just now?"

With a wry smile, Vanessa asked, "Are you going to control who I talk to on the phone too?"

Julien was silent.

"Will you be coming tonight?" Vanessa asked again.

Julien replied, "My parents are back in Chatterton Town. So, I'll be going home tonight. Remember to eat, and rest early after dinner."

Although there was nothing odd about this sentence, Vanessa still thought that this should not be the way. He did not need to report everything to her. "Mr. Kyle, you really don't have to report your comings and goings to me."

Julien said, "You are my fiance."

He meant to insinuate that it was natural for fiances to keep each other in the loop regarding their whereabouts.

Since he mentioned the engagement, Vanessa wanted to clarify something with him. "Mr. Kyle, about the engagement..."

Before she could finish speaking, Julien had cut her off, "It's just an engagement. I didn't ask you to marry me right away."

Vanessa was rendered speechless.

She did only say that she would not marry him, with no mention of not being engaged to him. Alas, this loophole was quickly taken advantage of and turned into an earth-shattering affair, which was not something the usual cautious and prudent Julien would do. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Julien added, "Alright, I'm hanging up."

Vanessa hurriedly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, let's talk about this. There are many good women out there, so why me?"

Julien replied, "Vanessa, do you really want to see me engaged to another woman?"

Tongue- tied, Vanessa offered nothing in reply.

She really did not want to.

But she did not want him to know this. Her lips parted, but she did not speak.

Vanessa did not answer yes, but Julien's tone softened as he said, "I'll give you enough time to prep yourself mentally. I'll also try to change our relationship dynamic, and how we get along with each other."

Julien's personality had always been cold and impassive. He never liked talking about what went on in his mind, or what he did. But this time, he was different; he was patient in communicating with

Vanessa and explaining the situation to her. This was a titanic change in his personality.

In fact, he had changed it for Vanessa before, but after that incident, everything returned to the beginning. He was still the lofty and cold Julien whom nobody dared to approach.

Vanessa started to say, "No...."

Julien quickly said, "Alright then."

Then, he decisively hung up the phone.

He was on his way home where he could finally be with his parents whom he had not seen for a while. But instead of feeling exhilarated, Julien's heart was a worried mess.

Julien knew that his assistant, Ethan, had told his dad about everything that had happened earlier, and his recklessness would definitely earn some blame. Even so, he felt no regret whatsoever.

He was now 29 years old, and through all these years, he had done nothing that his parents would disapprove of. This had been the first and only time he let his willfulness take charge of a situation.

And it was only because Vanessa was the one he had always wanted and was determined to marry.

Ever since he laid eyes on this impossibly arrogant girl at their university, he had been caught in a deep trance of attraction. Her every move, frown, and laugh would strike a nerve within him.

He liked to see her smile; when she did, two tiny dimples would make their way to her face which made her ridiculously adorable. He also liked seeing aloofness on her, where she wore pride on her sleeves as if she was the Queen of the world.

At the time, Vanessa, at her tender age, had entered a prestigious university in Averland and became everyone's object of attention.

"We've arrived, Young Master Julien." The car had stopped in front of the house and had been in park for a while now. Seeing that Julien had no intention of leaving the car, the driver had to nudge a reminder his way.

Only then did Julien emerge from his thoughts. He got off the car and began walking home.

Before he could enter the house, he heard cheerful laughter from several women from within the house. This was obviously his home, but he could not shake the fact that something always felt amiss. He felt out of place, stuck out like a sore thumb, in such a warm and loving family.

"Oh, our Little Precious is back." Although Julien had succeeded Rovio and was now his leader, he was still Karen Joy's beloved younger brother in her eyes. She still called Julien 'Little precious' from time to time.

Hearing what Karen Joy called him, Julien felt too lazy to correct her and only slightly frowned as he looked on at the three women in the living room. "Mom, Aunt Mia, Sis, I'm home.

Karen said softly, "Well, head upstairs and get changed. I'll get someone to prepare dinner."

Mia said, "Julien, thank you for telling me such a big secret. Now that Levi has been locked up by his father in the army, he won't be able to harm anyone else during this short period of time."

"You're welcome, Aunt Mia." Julien replied as he looked around and took in his surroundings He had not seen the lively and adorable little figure, "Sis, where's Larry?"

Who said that this uncle did not dote on Larry?

If he did not dote on Larry, why on earth would he look for the little one as soon as he returned home?

Karen Joy pointed to the garden outside and said, "Grandpa is teaching Larry to play chess."

Larry was particularly good at reading people's expressions, and he liked everyone who greeted him with a smile. Thus, he insisted that his great-grandfather teach him the game of chess.

Julien did not say a word and turned to go upstairs. Once he changed, he came back down and saw that his family had already regrouped in the living room.

Larry squeezed his way to his greatgrandfather's side, "Great-grandpa. I'm smart, right?"

Grandpa Kyle chuckled and said, "Of course, our Larry is the smartest boy in the world."

Larry, satisfied with hearing that, crawled up the couch and began dancing and jumping joyfully on it. While he was happily jumping around, he caught sight of his uncle walking up to him. He immediately sat down and greeted him reluctantly, "Uncle Julien."

Julien said disapprovingly, "Little brat, did you not want to see me?"

Larry rolled into Grandpa Kyle's arms and said, "Great-grandpa, save me!"

Julien was speechless.

It was fine that Larry did not let Julien hold him. But now, he would run away whenever Julien was near. This boy really needed a good spanking.

Grandpa Kyle quickly hugged Larry and told him, "Julien, grandpa's here. So, no one would dare bully Larry."

Larry immediately answered, "Yes, I'm still a little baby. Uncle Julien, you are not allowed to bully me."

Karen Joy laughed and teased, "Larry, do you know that Uncle Julien eats people?"

Upon hearing that, Larry widened his eyes in fear. But he quickly turned around, hugged Karen Joy and said, "Mom, don't be afraid. I'm

a man. Dad's not home, so I will protect you."
