My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1287

Karen felt sorry for Karen Joy but was also glad to see her daughter being so understanding. "Karen Joy, it's good that both of you understand each other. That's how you stay together for a long time."

"I understand, Mom. Don't worry about me." In the past, Karen Joy had thought that she could never find Lionel. Hence, to her, finding Lionel was the luckiest thing she had experienced in her life. She would cherish the days with him.

"My daughter is really a smart girl," Karen said while stroking Karen Joy's head. "Anyway, don't forget about your father. Who knows he is looking at you on the balcony now?"

Upon hearing her mother's words, Karen Joy looked up instinctively at the house. Sure enough, she saw a person standing on the balcony in the distance. It couldn't be anyone but her father.

Karen Joy curled her lips and said, "Dad is so hard to get along with. Only you can stand him, Mom."

Karen also looked over, but only saw Kevin's back as he walked back into the house. She smiled and said, "We have been together for more than twenty years. I kind of got used to his bad habits." "Now that you mentioned it, all of us are actually used to his reserved and difficult personality." Karen Joy felt lucky that Lionel was gentle and considerate. He would always talk to her nicely. Unlike her father, who would always let others guess what he was thinking.

"Well, other than this, your father is perfect." Karen would only allow herself to talk bad about Kevin. No one else could, not even their daughter.

Karen Joy understood that her mother was eager to protect her husband. So, she changed the topic sensibly, "Mom, where is our Little Precious? Why didn't he come out to welcome me today?"

In the past, when Julien found out that Karen Joy was coming home, he was more excited than anyone else. He would always wait for Karen Joy at the gate. However, he was nowhere to be seen that day.

"He's playing chess with your grandfather." At this time, Karen spotted someone walking toward them out of the corner of her eye. She motioned Karen Joy to look over and said, "Lionel is here."

"Lionel..." They hadn't seen each other for only ten minutes. However, at the sight of Lionel, Karen Joy rushed toward him and threw herself in his arms. "Why did you go for so long?"

Lionel hugged her and asked, "Did I?"

"Of course. Every second without you feels like a year to me. What's more, more than ten minutes have passed. I feel like I haven't seen you since forever."

"Look at you, Mom is still here. You should mind yourself." Then, Lionel opened the packet of sour candy and stuffed one into Karen Joy's mouth. "Does it taste good?"

"Everything you bought for me is delicious," Karen Joy smiled at him. "Brother Lionel, one isn't enough to satisfy my cravings. Can I have another one?"

"You shouldn't eat too much of it." Lionel didn't want to give it to her. However, his heart softened when he saw the eager look in her eyes. He stuffed another candy into her mouth and said, "That's enough for now."

"Brother Lionel, can you give me just one more, please?" The two candies were not enough to satisfy Karen Joy's craving. She stared at Lionel with puppy-dog eyes, trying to make him change his mind.

However, Lionel stood his ground and said to her sternly, "You can have two more of it after lunch."

Karen Joy was rendered speechless.

She was acting coy but didn't work this time.

Lionel put the packet away and said, "Don't look so aggrieved. These candies are not good for your health. I can't let you have too much of it."

Karen Joy remained quiet.
