My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1457

When it came to being stubborn, Julien was even worse than Kevin. It was almost impossible to get Julien to talk about anything that he did not want to share. Not knowing how else to deal with him, Karen Joy returned to her room, looking extremely disappointed.

When she got back, someone else was in her room. She lightened up a little when she saw who it was. "Lionel, you're back!"

Lionel came over and took her into his arms. "What's wrong?"

He was already tired from work. Karen Joy didn't want him to worry about her family's matters, so she quickly shook her head and said, "Nothing."

Lionel certainly did not buy it. "What's bothering you?"

Karen Joy lied and said, "I thought you wouldn't come home today, so I was worried that you'd be tired. But you did come back and surprised me, so I'm happy."

Karen Joy did not tell him the truth. Larry, whom she had put to bed earlier, suddenly crawled out of his quilt and stretched his little head out. He said very seriously, "Dad, bad Uncle Julien made Grandma cry. Mom isn't happy because she's worried about Grandma."

"Good boy," Lionel remarked as he gave Larry a thumbs-up, "Mom and I are going to have a little chat, so hush now and go to bed."

Larry hurriedly said, "But Dad, I still have a lot of things to say."

Lionel asked helplessly, "What is it?"

Larry shot a few glances at the door to make sure that it was tightly shut before whispering, "Dad, Uncle Julien eats people. That's really scary."

Lionel walked to the bed and picked Larry up. "Who told you Uncle Julien eats people?"

Karen Joy also came by the bed. As she patted Larry's head, she said, "Our kid has a wild imagination. Julien and Dad were man-eaters, and then they were monsters. They might start to think that I'm the one who taught him all this."

"Larry, you shouldn't say this about Uncle Julien and Grandpa in the future." Lionel told Larry sternly. There were times to dote on his kid, and there were times to be strict and serious with him.

Understanding the serious look on his father's face, Larry muttered, "Okay." He knew that he must not be naughty when his father was being stern with him.

After laying Larry back on the bed, Lionel turned to Karen Joy. "Did the family not take Julien's engagement well?"

Karen Joy sighed, "Are the Kyles really that unreasonable?"

Lionel replied, "Yep."

His mind took him back to the time when his now father-in-law flat out rejected the idea of Karen Joy marrying him.

"You..." Karen Joy pushed him towards the bathroom. "It's getting late. Take your shower first and I'll tell you all about it later." NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Larry suddenly said, "Dad, you must shower properly. Otherwise, you can't sleep with us."

Lionel said, "You little third wheel, I'll have you sleep alone one day."

Larry quickly pleaded with his mother for help, "Mom, I'm still a little baby. I can't sleep alone."

Karen Joy smiled, "I thought someone had told me today that he was no longer a baby, but a man?"

Larry shook his head and said, "I forgot."

Karen Joy sat on the edge of the bed then stuffed the little fellow into the quilt. "The air conditioner is turned on. Get in your quilt so you don't catch a cold."

Larry rolled towards his mom and asked, "Mom, you love Dad and me very much, right?"

Karen Joy replied, "Of course."

Larry said, "I love you and Dad too."

Karen Joy happily said, "I know, son. Now, go to bed. If you don't sleep now, you won't be able to get up in time for school tomorrow."

Larry held Karen Joy's hand in his and said, "I'm waiting for Mom and Dad to sleep together. I want to sleep in between you two."

Although Larry was already three years old, he would occasionally sleep with his grandparents for a night, or with his Auntie Silvia when she was around. Other than that, he must sleep with his parents or he would fall into a crying fit through the night.

Karen Joy lightly poked his forehead and said, "Okay, you lie down first. I'll get some pajamas for Dad."

Lionel did not actually need Karen Joy to get him his pajamas, but she wanted to do something for her husband, like help him shave, or get his pajamas ready for him while he was taking a shower. She did all these little things for him because she loved him.

She wanted to take good care of Lionel, who did not get the love he needed as a child, and to let him know that she would always love him regardless of the time and place. She could not bear to lose him in this life.

As Lionel had slowly gotten used to being under Karen Joy's diligent care, he only wrapped himself in a bath towel after his shower as he entered the closet. As Karen Joy helped him wipe the droplets off his body, she took the chance to flirt and tease him. "Lionel, your body is getting fitter and fitter by the day."

Lionel grabbed her hand, "Stop it."

Karen Joy playfully stuck out her tongue at him. "I'm your wife. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."

Lionel stated, "Your period's coming soon."

Karen Joy's hand paused slightly, and she said with a smile, "I'm just innocently touching you. What are you thinking about?"

Lionel replied seriously, "You know I don't have self-control when it comes to you."

Karen Joy proclaimed, "I'm your wife! You don't need to have any self-control around me."

Lionel snatched the bath towel from Karen Joy's hand and wiped his body dry. He speedily put his pajamas on and told her, "I'm your husband, not an animal."

This is why Karen Joy liked Lionel so much. She was overjoyed as she said, "Lionel, why are you so good to me?"

It was true. If a man loved a woman as much as her father did, she should marry him as soon as possible. It was a blessing to have a husband like this.

Lionel replied simply, "Because you are my wife."

Back then, when Karen Joy finally came of age, she had gone through plenty of hardships just to be with him. Throughout everything, she always stood firmly by his side, providing him with strength and support regardless of what obstacle she was met with along the way.

A girl who had sacrificed so much for him, who was willing to marry him and keep him company as they grew old together, who did not mind putting her life at risk to bring their baby boy into the world.... She had done so much for him, so how could he not love her right?

Karen joy chuckled pridefully, "Hehe, fortunately, I was smart enough to have set my sights on you and booked you as a kid, or else you would've definitely gotten snatched up by others."

Lionel gazed at her, his eyes soft with warmth and affection. He could control himself no longer as he held her head gently and kissed her. Just as he was about to take things a step further, a little boy appeared by the closet entrance. The little fellow lifted his tiny head and looked up at them very seriously. "Mom, Dad. Why are you hiding in here kissing each other? Don't you want to kiss me?"
