Chapter 1509
Chapter 1509
Before Levi could say anything else, a familiar car slowly pulled up in front of them. Someone wound down the window from the front passenger seat and said, "Hey kiddo, it's been a long time. How have you been, recently?"
Seeing as Karen Joy got off the car, Levi peered into the car. The person sitting in the driver's seat was his brother-in-law, Lionel. He frowned, "Karen Joy, I'm not young anymore. Don't call me kiddo! Lionel and your son, Larry, are here too! You're making me embarrassed."
Karen Joy immediately smiled and said, "I'm your older cousin! To me, you'll always be a child."
"Oh come on, Karen Joy..."
"Mommy, it's me, Larry..." Larry called out to his mom, and after attracting the attention of Karen Joy and Levi, he burst into tears, "I want a hug from you, Mommy... I don't want to be carried by Uncle Levi anymore."
Levi was surprised at Larry's words. He felt slightly insulted, but also found it funny at the same time. He stuffed Larry into Karen Joy's arms and said, "Karen Joy, Lionel, you guys are just in time. You can just take this little one back. Save me the trip."
"By the way, Levi, I heard that Aunt Mia is fighting with Uncle Neil. I don't know why though, so you'd better go back and check it out," Karen Joy held onto Larry's tiny body tightly and gently stroked his back. She had no time to pay attention to him yet.
"Karen Joy, it's not like this is the first time they're quarreling with each other. Don't worry about them. You've been busy for the whole day. Bring Larry back as soon as possible. I still have things to do, so I'll get going," Mia threw tantrums all the time, and Levi was already used to it. Usually, when the two of them were arguing, they would take it out on him. It would be foolish for him to go
back now, so he planned to find a place to drink and flirt with some girls. He'd let them quarrel it out on their own.
Levi waved his hand and stopped a taxi. Before getting into the taxi, he came to Karen Joy's car window and said, "Goodbye Lionel. Let's have a drink together when you're free."
Lionel replied, "Take care."
"I will," Levi answered and whistled as he got into the taxi.
Larry felt sad that his mom had totally ignored him, so he pitifully snuggled up against her arm. He was trying to get her attention and started whining, "Mom..."
Karen Joy sat in the back seat of the car with Larry in her arms. She buckled him into a child car seat. Seeing the little one's tearful face, she couldn't help teasing him, "Awww, my son is crying so sadly. Did Uncle Levi bully you?"
Larry wiped his tears with his little hands and pouted, "I told Uncle Levi that you and dad got married because of me, but he told me I was wrong. Mom, tell me he's wrong and that I'm right."
The reason why Larry took this so seriously was actually because he had asked Karen Joy before. At that time, Karen Joy thought he looked so cute, so she wanted to mess with him. Thus, she and Lionel joked with Larry and told him that they got married because they had Larry first.
To the adults, it was just a joke. However, Larry had taken it seriously. Karen Joy felt like she had to answer him properly this time.
She thought for a moment and asked, "Larry, do you really think that it's important to know whether mom and dad got married first or if we had you first?"
Larry nodded and said, "It's important."
Since it was important, Karen Joy decided to put more thought into her answer. She asked, "Why do you think it is important?"
Why?
Larry hadn't thought about this question. Now that he had been asked about it, he scratched his head and thought carefully before answering, "Because I want mom and dad to love me the most."
"Are you worried that mom and dad might not love you if we got married first?" Karen Joy roughly understood her son's worry. She came over and kissed his face tenderly, answering, "Since you're so worried, let's have your dad answer you, okay?"
Since his wife and child were sitting in the back seat of the car, Lionel paid special attention to the speed and the surroundings when he was driving. However, he was also paying attention to the conversation between his wife and his son. Now that his wife had entrusted the responsibility of educating his son to him, he took it upon himself to explain things, "Larry, first of all, you need to know that I love your mother, and I love you too. We are a family of three, and nothing can separate us. Do you understand?"
Lionel had stressed this countless times to his son. Larry was already familiar with this and said, "I know. I love you both a lot too."
Lionel took a gentle look at his wife and son from the rearview mirror and said, "Then, why are you worried that we don't love you?"
Larry was a little confused.
He was not worried. However, he was still young, so he put a lot of importance on what he knew. Once a fact that he had known was denied, he would grow worried and scared, even if he didn't know what he was afraid of.
"Your Mommy and I fell in love first and then got married. After that, we had you. Your arrival not only improved our bond, you also brought a lot of joy to us. Today, I am telling you that it's true you were born after we got married. But that doesn't mean we don't love you, nor does it affect other people's love for you."
"Okay, I understand. I will always be your precious baby," Larry seemed to understand. In fact, as long as his parents loved him, it would be fine. He didn't care that much whether he was born before or after their marriage.
Seeing Larry's cute smile, Karen Joy also laughed. She looked at her husband who was driving. When she saw him so concentrated on driving, her smile widened, "Lionel, you're amazing. I really love you."
Lionel looked at the rearview mirror again and their gaze met briefly. Even though it was just for a moment, it made Lionel's heart beat faster. He smirked, "Karen Joy, you should tell me such things when we're home!"
Now that he was driving, she shouldn't say things that will affect his driving. Karen Joy knew exactly how much influence she had over him. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Larry imitated his mother's tone and said, "Dad, you are so amazing. I love you a lot too."
Lionel chuckled, "I love the two of you a lot too."
After confirming that he was still his parents' precious baby, Larry was very happy. He talked about everything that had happened in the hospital for the past few days excitedly. Finally, he decided to tell his parents the secret that he had told Levi earlier, "Mom, Dad! Uncle Julien really does eat humans. I saw it with my own eyes."
Karen Joy was amused and asked, "Really? Tell me about it."
Larry continued, "Uncle Julien ate Aunt Vanessa. I saw it with my own eyes, but Uncle Levi doesn't believe me."
Karen Joy immediately laughed and said, "Oh
my silly son!"
Children of his age were the most curious. It seemed that she had to pay more attention to the little one's education from now on.
