My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1452

Karen Joy held Larry in her arms and said with a smile, "Larry, don't be afraid. Though Uncle Julien looks fierce, he won't actually eat you."

Larry quietly looked up at Julien. Seeing Julien's indifferent face, he quickly clung tighter to Karen Joy and said, "He looks scarier than the monsters that eat people."

Julien frowned and thought for a moment. Was he really that scary?

Grandpa Kyle laughed and said, "Larry, if Uncle Julien is a monster, then I'm a monster hunter. I'll protect you. Don't be afraid."

Larry looked at his great-grandfather and then at Julien. After a serious comparison of the two, he came to a conclusion. "Great-grandpa, you can't beat Uncle Julien."

Grandpa Hale said, "Why don't you ask your uncle if I can beat him or not?"

Mia came out of the kitchen and stated, "Young Master Julien, try not to look so cold everyday, like your father. You're scaring Larry."

As soon as Mia finished speaking, she saw Kevin walking down the stairs from the corner of her eye. She hastily changed the topic and said, "Oh no, I think your father is much better than you. You're the coldest person in our family."

Karen came out of the kitchen and said, "Everyone, stop teasing Larry. Let's eat dinner."

Everyone began taking their usual seats at the dinner table. Just as they sat down, Grandpa Hale suddenly realised that it had been a few days since he last saw his other grandson. "Mia, I haven't seen Levi in a while. Where has he been?"

Mia replied, "That kid needs to be taught a lesson. I've asked Neil to send him to the army for some training."

Grandpa Hale remarked, "A naughty kid like him should be trained, yes. But, make sure you tell Neil not to overdo it and hurt him. After all, he's the only heir of the Brown family. We're still waiting for him to help branch out the family line."

Mia assured, "Dad, don't worry."

Grandpa Hale continued, "I'm just worried about you."

Mia asked, "Dad, the kids are all here. Can't you give me some face?"

Larry asked, "Grand Auntie Mia, what does face mean?"

Mia did not know what to say.

Amused by Larry's innocent question, Grandpa Hale explained, "It means dignity... Something you'll understand once you've grown up."

Larry retorted, "Great-grandpa, I'm already a big kid."

Kevin coughed lightly and sternly stated, "Have your meal properly. A child should not talk so much."

Larry instantly fell into silence and carefully leaned against Karen Joy. He looked wronged, as if his grandfather was a villain whose only goal was to bully him.

"Don't be afraid, Larry." Karen quickly reached out her hand to pat Larry's head. She then turned to Kevin, "Kevin, you've scared Larry."

Kevin was quiet.

Then, Grandpa Hale quickly said to everyone, "Let's eat."

Everyone ate in silence because of Kevin and Julien's presence. Not a word was exchanged during the remainder of the dinner.

After the meal, Kevin was the first to take his leave, "Follow me to my study."

He did not point out who he was referring to, but everyone knew that Kevin was talking to Julien.

Julien did not say a word as he followed Kevin up the stairs. The father and son entered the study one after the other.

After Julien closed the study room's door behind him, Kevin turned around and looked at him coldly. Julien fearlessly returned his cold stare with an equal impassiveness in his eyes. Both of them were cold, indifferent people, and no one initiated to break the silence. The weight in the air between them got heavier and heavier with each passing second.
