My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1665

Lionel's face fell, but he stayed silent.

"Lionel, I'm just teasing you. Don't get angry." Karen Joy squeezed to sit beside him and pinched Larry who was in his arms. "I absolutely agree with you. If he didn't have such good genes like yours, how could I have such a cute and sensible baby like him?" This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

She raised her head, her face moving in front of Lionel. "Lionel, don't you think so?"

Looking at her beautiful face, Lionel's Adam's apple bobbed and he lowered his head to kiss Karen Joy. Only when Karen Joy ran out of breath that he let go of her. "Your genes are more crucial."

Karen Joy felt that this kiss was not enough. She kissed his lips again. "Well, it's because we both have very good genes that we have such a cute child like Larry."

Lionel's gaze moved from Karen Joy's face to Larry's body. The little one was only five years old and was very small. Especially when embraced by Lionel who had a tall stature, the little one could hardly be seen. "I really want Larry to stay like this so that we can hold him in our arms and love him."

Karen Joy followed his gaze and said, "Lionel, most people wish for their children to grow up faster. Why do you wish for your child to not grow? If a child doesn't grow up, then there's definitely something wrong with him, right?"

Lionel replied, "Sometimes, I wish for our child to never grow up, but other times I wish for him to quickly grow up. Perhaps, all parents all have these complex emotions."

Karen Joy said, "Lionel, let's not worry about these matters. It's best to let our children grow up naturally."

Lionel replied, "Well, let's not talk about the child anymore. Let's talk about you."

"Me?" Karen Joy raised her head with a blank expression. "Lionel, what about me?"

Lionel continued, "You've been so distracted lately. What on earth have you been thinking?"

"I don't think I have." Karen Joy thought for a moment and added, "Every day, I'm looking forward to Silvia and her child being discharged from the hospital. I'm not in the mood to think about anything else."

"You don't?" Lionel raised his eyebrows and retorted, "Who kept on tossing and turning for a long time after I fell asleep last night?"

"I..." Karen Joy suddenly realized something. "Lionel, after you fell asleep, did you realize that I wasn't asleep? Are you a robot?"

"If you don't fall asleep, do you think I can?" In the past few years, Lionel had grown accustomed to falling asleep after Karen Joy did. Only when she slept well could he do the same.

Occasionally, in order to reassure Karen Joy, he would pretend to fall asleep before her. Therefore, he knew what Karen Joy did after he 'slept' the previous night.

However, for the time being, he could not think of anything that could make her lose sleep. After thinking for a day, he still could not figure it out. In order to not let himself overthink, he decided to ask her directly.

They had always been honest with each other. They had promised to share everything with each other, to never hide anything from each other.

"Lionel..." Karen Joy leaned into his embrace and gently rubbed against him. "Really, it's nothing much but I shouldn't have kept it from you. I should have been honest with you to not make you worry."

Lionel asked softly, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Karen Joy looked at him, a pitiful look on her face. "Didn't Jayden and Silvia just have a precious daughter? When I saw the beautiful little girl, I also wanted to have a daughter. But, I knew you wouldn't agree, so I just kept it to myself."

"Are you worried that Larry wouldn't have a companion so you want one more person to accompany him?" Lionel rubbed her head. "You want Larry to be like you, and have many brothers and sisters and take care of each other. But don't forget that Larry has Lawrie, and another cute girl will soon join them. When we grow old, they'll accompany him so he won't be lonely."

"Lionel, when did you become so silly? In my heart, you've always been so smart. I can't hide anything from you." However, Lionel failed to realize what she really thought.

Was it really that Karen Joy wanted to find a companion for Larry?

Larry had Lawrie and even a little girl at the moment. With them two accompanying Larry in the future, he would not be lonely.

Karen Joy just wanted to have another baby with Lionel so that his family's bloodline would continue. All she thought of was just as simple as that.

"Karen Joy, we already have Larry. One child is enough." It wasn't that Lionel did not understand Karen Joy's real thoughts but sometimes, he did not want to expose her and be too direct. It would be too cruel to have Karen Joy's fantasy destroyed.

"Lionel, I know that you're unwilling. That's why I kept it to myself. You were the one who asked me, so I told you." All this while, Lionel always knew what she was thinking. This time however, he did not and she felt a little aggrieved.

Lionel felt his heart soften at the sight of Karen Joy's wronged look. He could only confess, "Karen Joy, I know that you want to have more children for the Collins family but there really is no need to. Our lives are so short, we should enjoy ourselves and don't stress ourselves so much. Some matters, I've already gotten over them, so you don't have to worry about me."

If she was worried, he would also worry about her.

"Lionel, have you really gotten over it?" Karen Joy did not bring up Lionel's past these few years, for she was afraid of bringing back sad memories.

Currently, he said that he had gotten over them.

Had he really gotten over them?

How could he get over such intense memories?

"Hmm?" Lionel nodded. "There's nothing more important than Larry and you."

"Lionel, I love you!" Karen Joy hugged him tightly. "I really do love you very much!"

"Silly girl." Lionel held her with one hand and their child with the other, holding both of his closest family members in his embrace. This joy put him at ease and warmth.

A few days prior, Jackie had a video call with Lionel. The two of them chatted for a long time. Towards the end, Jackie mentioned his wife, Serene. He said that Serene was his lifesaver. If it weren't for Serene, he would not be the person he was at present.

At that time, Lionel didn't say much but he felt the same way himself.

If he hadn't been saved by Karen Joy during that year's pain; if Karen Joy hadn't come from thousands of miles away to find him; if Karen Joy hadn't found him when he was the most lost, he

wouldn't be as happy as he was currently.

Remembering all of this, Lionel held both Karen Joy and Larry in his arms just a bit tighter. From this moment on, if he could hold them every day like this, maybe it would be the happiest thing in his life.

Outside the window, it was drizzling and the rain pattered against the window. It was originally an annoying sound but Lionel enjoyed it very much because he was holding his beloved wife and their child in his arms.
