My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1454

"Mom, Uncle Julien's so fierce. I'm scared and I don't want to sleep with Uncle Julien." Larry saw Karen Joy and instantly threw himself into her arms. "Mom, why doesn't Uncle Julien like me?"

"Uncle Julien not only likes you, he loves you very much." Karen Joy grabbed Larry's little body and picked him up. "Larry, Uncle Julien actually likes you very much, like how we all do."

"But why doesn't he smile at me? I like it when people smile. Like Dad, Mom, Grandma, Greatgrandpa, Grand Auntie Mia, Uncle Levi, and also Uncle Jayden and Auntie Silvia who live far away. Oh yeah, Auntie Silvia's my favorite. Every time she sees me, she will smile happily. I like to see her smile. She must like me a lot." Things could be very simple in a child's world. Sometimes, all it took was a simple smile to make them happy.

"That's right. Auntie Silvia is beautiful and kind, and most importantly, she likes you the most." Karen Joy knew that Silvia had always wanted her own child, but her wish had not been realized for many years. That was why all that love Silvia had for a child was projected onto Larry. Every time the couple returned to Chatterton Town, Silvia would have Larry sleep with them, which Larry was more than happy to oblige.

"So, Uncle Julien just doesn't like me, right?" Larry once again deduced that his Uncle disliked him since he never smiled at him.

"Uncle Julien likes you." Karen Joy emphasized again.

"Then why doesn't he smile at me?" Larry asked persistently, having had cultivated the habit of never giving up until his goal was reached.

"Because that's how he is. It's not that he doesn't love you, he just doesn't know how to show it." Karen Joy certainly knew her brother well, especially after hearing about the conversation between Julien and her parents today. Karen Joy also felt distressed; people who cannot express their

feelings in life really suffer a great deal. "Listen, Larry. When you grow up, be honest about whom you like. Don't keep that hidden in your heart, or you might get misunderstood by the people you like."

Larry quickly made his feelings known, "I will still like you the most when I grow up."

Although Larry's words did not sound very convincing, Karen Joy was still happy to hear it. "Yes, my son is the best. I love you."

"I also love Mom, Dad, Grandma..." Larry began to list everyone in the family. He kept the teachings of his parents close to heart. They were a family, so no one should be left out. Therefore, each time he expressed his love, he had to include every family member, not leaving anyone out.

"You must be honest with who you like. Don't keep that hidden in your heart, or you might get misunderstood by the people you like."

Julien understood this sentence well, which was why he had told Vanessa years ago that he liked her and wanted to marry her. But who could have known that his love would be met with such an unexpected outcome.

Vanessa did not love him, and was only with him for her own reasons.

Before that incident, he initially thought that Vanessa approached him because she honestly liked him. It was only much later when he had witnessed with his own eyes, that he learned of her true hidden agenda of approaching him.

It was like this in the past, as it was in the present. She clearly rejected and resisted him so, yet she still spent days pretending that she liked being with him. If not for money, then for what?

He obviously knew that she was the kind of woman who only cared about money. Yet, he still could not bear to let her go, which is why after years of being broken up, he located her again and offered

that she become his lover in exchange for financial support.

At the time this offer was made, he had greatly wished that she would reject it. But she did not. Instead, she readily accepted it and agreed to his request to stay by his side, and to please him unconditionally.

Every time he thought of this woman trying to butter up to him for money, he wished dearly that he could reach into the woman's brain and catch a glimpse of what she was actually thinking of.

Julien returned to his room, lit a cigarette and went out to the balcony. He looked up at the twinkling stars in the sky.

Julien vaguely reminisced about his first date with Vanessa many years ago. Like today, the weather on the day of their first date was fantastic, and the vast night sky had shimmered with an endless amount of stars.

They were sitting on the grass as she leaned on his shoulders, when she suddenly pointed to the sky and said, "Look, Julien. Aren't those two stars right there just like you and I?"

Hearing this, he did not look up to see the stars she was talking about. Instead, he gazed down lovingly at her, unable to resist the temptation to leave a kiss on her forehead. And that was the first time he had kissed her, as it was the first time he had kissed a girl.

Back then, they were both young and full of hormonal urges. Some things once done, cannot be taken back. He realized that kissing her forehead did little to quench the desires deep within. Seeing that she had not rejected him, he slowly left a trail of kisses from her forehead, down to her eyes, lips...Then, it was his lips on hers. As they kissed, they could not help but wish for this to last an eternity, and that never had to part from one another.

An innocent, yet incomparably beautiful kiss that was. Thinking about it now, he swore he could still feel the aftertaste of the kiss.

After what felt like forever, Vanessa pushed him away as she panted heavily, completely out of breath. "Julien, I asked you to look at the stars. Why did you kiss me?"

He could feel that she enjoyed kissing him, since she had passionately kissed him right back. But he understood that as a woman, she might have thought that she should be more reserved.

That day was also the first time he had seen her shy and flustered, her face a rosy shade of red with a tinge of the warm sunset glow. She looked breathtakingly gorgeous, especially with those bright, enchanting eyes that shimmered with a kind beauty comparable to the sea of stars in the sky.

He held her close, lowered his head and placed his lips on hers again. "Vanessa, even the stars above us don't shine quite as brightly or beautifully as your eyes. I just can't help but lose myself in their trance."

Julien was a man of little words. When they dated, Vanessa would be the one talking most of the time while he was often quiet, listening attentively to her. But today was one of the rare times where Julien spoke with a hint of poetic romance and flattery in his words. Vanessa was so happy that she went ahead to hold him close and kiss him. "Julien, I like it when you flatter me. You should compliment me more in the future." Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Her remark made Julien realize how corny the words he had blurted out were. He raised his eyebrows awkwardly, and turned away to ignore her.

Vanessa was too happy to care. She leaned into Julien's arms again and said, "Julien, I get that you're cold, distant, and you don't like to talk. You're usually not chatty at all, but I don't really mind. Just as long as you're good to me."
