My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1452

Karen Joy held Larry in her arms and said with a smile, "Larry, don't be afraid. Though Uncle Julien looks fierce, he won't actually eat you."

Larry quietly looked up at Julien. Seeing Julien's indifferent face, he quickly clung tighter to Karen Joy and said, "He looks scarier than the monsters that eat people."

Julien frowned and thought for a moment. Was he really that scary?

Grandpa Kyle laughed and said, "Larry, if Uncle Julien is a monster, then I'm a monster hunter. I'll protect you. Don't be afraid."

Larry looked at his great-grandfather and then at Julien. After a serious comparison of the two, he came to a conclusion. "Great-grandpa, you can't beat Uncle Julien."

Grandpa Hale said, "Why don't you ask your uncle if I can beat him or not?"

Mia came out of the kitchen and stated, "Young Master Julien, try not to look so cold everyday, like your father. You're scaring Larry."

As soon as Mia finished speaking, she saw Kevin walking down the stairs from the corner of her eye. She hastily changed the topic and said, "Oh no, I think your father is much better than you. You're the coldest person in our family."

Karen came out of the kitchen and said, "Everyone, stop teasing Larry. Let's eat dinner."

Everyone began taking their usual seats at the dinner table. Just as they sat down, Grandpa Hale suddenly realised that it had been a few days since he last saw his other grandson. "Mia, I haven't seen Levi in a while. Where has he been?"

Mia replied, "That kid needs to be taught a lesson. I've asked Neil to send him to the army for some training."

Grandpa Hale remarked, "A naughty kid like him should be trained, yes. But, make sure you tell Neil not to overdo it and hurt him. After all, he's the only heir of the Brown family. We're still waiting for him to help branch out the family line."

Mia assured, "Dad, don't worry."

Grandpa Hale continued, "I'm just worried about you."

Mia asked, "Dad, the kids are all here. Can't you give me some face?"

Larry asked, "Grand Auntie Mia, what does face mean?"

Mia did not know what to say.

Amused by Larry's innocent question, Grandpa Hale explained, "It means dignity... Something you'll understand once you've grown up."

Larry retorted, "Great-grandpa, I'm already a big kid."

Kevin coughed lightly and sternly stated, "Have your meal properly. A child should not talk so much."

Larry instantly fell into silence and carefully leaned against Karen Joy. He looked wronged, as if his grandfather was a villain whose only goal was to bully him.

"Don't be afraid, Larry." Karen quickly reached out her hand to pat Larry's head. She then turned to Kevin, "Kevin, you've scared Larry."

Kevin was quiet.

Then, Grandpa Hale quickly said to everyone, "Let's eat."

Everyone ate in silence because of Kevin and Julien's presence. Not a word was exchanged during the remainder of the dinner.

After the meal, Kevin was the first to take his leave, "Follow me to my study." All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

He did not point out who he was referring to, but everyone knew that Kevin was talking to Julien.

Julien did not say a word as he followed Kevin up the stairs. The father and son entered the study one after the other.

After Julien closed the study room's door behind him, Kevin turned around and looked at him coldly. Julien fearlessly returned his cold stare with an equal impassiveness in his eyes. Both of them were cold, indifferent people, and no one initiated to break the silence. The weight in the air between them got heavier and heavier with each passing second.

Knock, knock...

Karen pushed the door open and entered as she knocked. In her hand was a tray of fruits. "Kevin, Julien, have some tea and fruits."

Karen knew the father-son duo all too well. If she had not come up to defuse the situation, they may well end up spending the whole night in 'glaring combat'.

Kevin's expression eased a little upon seeing Karen. "Just leave them here."

Karen placed the fruits on the tea table and sat down. She looked up at them and said, "Just pretend that I don't exist, and talk."

Could they really act like she did not exist if she was here in the room with them?

Kevin raised his eyebrows and uttered, "Leave first."

Karen feigned incomprehension and smiled coyly as she said, "Can't I sit in on your conversation? What's there to be mysterious about?"

She was worried that Julien would be mistreated by Kevin in her absence.

Kevin remained silent.

Julien said, "Mom, you don't have to go out. I happen to have something to tell you two."

Hearing Julien's words, Kevin felt a rush of anger surge through his body. He exclaimed angrily, "Julien, do you know who you're talking to right now? Are you aware of what you've done?"

Karen quickly tugged at Kevin and calmly said, "Kevin, let's talk about this nicely. Why get so angry?"

Julien said, "Mom, it's alright. You don't have to stop him."

Karen hurriedly tried to coax Julien. "Julien, he's your father. You should be nicer to him."

Kevin said, "Tell me, what exactly are you thinking of doing?"

Julien stated, "I want to get married."

Kevin hollered, "Who said you couldn't get married?"

Julien replied, "Then what did you want to talk to me about?"

With anger clouding his judgment, Kevin was at a loss for words. "You..."

Julien proclaimed, "You've all seen today's news. So yes, I'm engaged."

Kevin barked angrily, "And just like that, you've nonchalantly announced your engagement to a woman-"

Before he finished, Julien had cut him off. "Dad, have you forgotten that you only told your parents about your marriage to mom after registering it? Did they react the way you did? As for Jayden, he also only introduced his wife to you and mom after they got married, but did you make that a big deal? Yes, I know that you've chosen the right person to be your wife - mom is a great person. And yes, I know that Jayden is also lucky to have chosen Silvia as his bride -they're both very much in love with each other. But how can you judge Vanessa when you haven't even met her?"

Seeing that the two's arguments were getting increasingly heated, with neither willing to take a step back, Karen stood in between them in haste and said, "Julien, your father didn't mean that the girl you fancy isn't good. Please don't get mad."

Normally, they acted like two icebergs where neither would speak to the other for days. Who knew that in an argument, both of them would be no weaker than two great volcanoes? She thought that if she had not been here, the two would have probably already gotten into a fist- fight with each other.

Kevin ordered, "Karen, leave now. This does not concern you."

What Kevin said did not sit right with Karen at all as she questioned, "What did you just say, Kevin? He's the son I carried in my womb. How is this none of my concern?"

Kevin was quiet.

Julien chided, "It has always been about Jayden and Karen Joy for the both of you. You only care about them. All these years, have you ever shown any concern for me?"

Kevin and Karen were left utterly speechless.
