"Vanessa, you'd better put away your little thoughts, or I won't let you off the hook." Julien's cold warning came from her side. Vanessa looked at him displeasedly, "You've only been married to me for less than half an hour and now you're starting to give me an attitude. How am I supposed to survive the rest of my days with you?"
Julien said, "Come on, don’t think I don’t know what’s going on in that head of yours."
"Do you think you're one of my brain cells? How could you know everything I'm thinking."
Julien replied, "That nickname was given to me in my childhood. It's nothing serious but I was happy to be called that when I was a kid. It has nothing to do with me now."
Vanessa smiled proudly and said, "So Mr. Kyle, you were also a cute Little Precious when you were a child. You weren't as cold and indifferent as you are now."
"Cold and indifferent?" Julien raised his eyebrows and a cheeky smile curled at the corner of his lips. "Last night, you said that I almost scalded you with my body heat. And now, you blame me for being cold. Women like you, are really fickle!"
Vanessa was exasperated and said, "Please have some shame."
This man would even joke about sex!
Julien said, "I think you liked me heating you up last night."
"Shut up! Drive your car carefully. If you spew nonsense again, I'm going to ignore you forever."
Goodness! The intimate life between a couple should be better kept private! Why did they have to say these details a loud? He was shameless, but yet she still wanted him.
Julien said, "Alright, I’ll stop talking."
The car accelerated towards the Chatterton Town Military Region.
It took them more than an hour to arrive at the Military Region. When they arrived, the outer boundary of the military area was heavily guarded to check the cars passing by. It was difficult to approach the military area, let alone go in.
Kevin and Karen's cars were blocked outside, and so was Karen Joy's. Even Mia's car couldn't gain entry. When Julien and Vanessa arrived, they were all stopped a few kilometers away from the military region.
Then, Mia called Neil but no one answered.
"Dad, what exactly happened?" Although the whole family was there, Julien still posed the question to his father, who was the backbone of the family As long as Kevin was here, no matter how big the problem was, the other family members would not be in a panic. Everyone trusted that Kevin could handle it well.
"I don't know for the time being." Kevin turned to look at Mia. "What did Neil say to you on the phone?"
"He said that something has happened to Levi. After that, he hung up without another word." Mia wiped her tears. "If something horrible happens to Levi, what would Neil do? Levi is our only son!"
"Don't be so pessimistic," Kevin patted Mia's shoulder. "You guys take a rest over there. I'll make a call to Neil."
Mia shook her head. "No, I won't go."
Kevin frowned, so Karen quickly stepped forward to persuade Mia, "Mia, it's pointless for you to be anxious. Why don't we stand aside and calm down, so that I can figure out what's going on first? After that, we can discuss what to do next."
Karen Joy and Vanessa also hurried forward to hold Mia. "Aunt Mia, come on. Let's figure out the situation first.'
Kevin then dialed Neil’s number. It was very noisy on the other end of the phone and Neil hung up after saying it was not a grave situation.
Kevin hung up and looked at Mia and the others again. "Levi should be fine. Everyone can head home first."
Mia said, "I'll be worried if I don't see him."
