My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1482

Despite lying sick in bed, Lawrie still had the strength to argue with Larry, on the matter of their age. Arms crossed in front of his chest, Larry retorted, "I was told that I'm four months older than you, so yes, I am older! You're the kid!"

Lawrie fell silent.

What should he do?

Indeed, that fellow who barged in suddenly made sense. Lawrie had no way to refute.

Larry continued, "I'm the big brother here, Lawrie! I'm older!"

Lawrie was unhappy to be the younger kid, but he did not know how to refute. He could only turn to Vanessa for help. "Mommy, I don't want to be the younger kid. I want to be a big brother too."

"Lawrie, seniority is decided according to the order of birth. You can't change that. Since you're four months younger than Larry, you're technically the younger brother," Vanessa ruffled their heads and said with a gentle smile.

A child's world was simple and full of amusement. They bickered about who was older for a long time as if winning the debate, and being deemed as the 'Big Brother, would bring them the biggest happiness.

As much as Lawrie did not want to admit that he was the younger one, it was something that could not be changed. Accepting that fact, he finally said to Larry, "You're the big brother."

Larry had always been the youngest in the Kyle family. Now, there was finally someone who was younger than him. Larry was so overjoyed that he started jumping around the ward. "Say it again, Lawrie, call me Big Brother."

Lawrie pouted, "Nope."

Larry said, "If you say it again, I'll bring a lot of toys for you to play with."

Lawrie quickly said, "Fine, Big Brother Larry."

The two boys happily chatted away, discussing their favorite toys and cartoons. Vanessa had no way to interrupt as the two would just ignore her whenever she tried to talk. They disliked her meddling.

Vanessa looked at Lawrie woefully. Did he not say that she was favorite person in the world? Did he not say that he wanted to be with his Mommy the most? How could he ignore her for someone that he had just met for less than half an hour?

He was growing up too quickly, and he no longer needed her.

How saddening!

How devastating!

Vanessa wanted to be comforted and hugged.

Who else could give her a hug but herself?

Just as Vanessa was silently complaining, Julien suddenly sat down beside her. He whispered into her ear, "Now you know how it feels to be neglected."

Vanessa pouted, "It's none of your business."

Julien did not want to quarrel with her, so he changed the subject and said, "They're having fun talking to each other, so let's talk about us."

"About us?" Vanessa paused for a moment and then added, "I'll find a way to pay back the money I owe you."

Julien's expression changed abruptly.

This woman really needed to be punished. Why would she think that he was going to talk to her about money?

It was not like she did not know that he was not short on money.

Vanessa said, "You're quiet. Are you angry?"

Julien stayed silent.

Vanessa continued, "You're always like this. You don't say anything when you're angry. It's annoying, you know?"

Julien rebutted, "Then why don't you just not make me angry?"
