My Husband, Warm The Bed novel 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."

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."
