My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 17

After a brief silence, she heard him say, "Well, I know it now."

Karen rolled her eyes at him. Who was this guy? He had asked her to praise him, and then when she did praise him, this was his answer.

After walking around, they went over to the fresh section. She selected a piece of fish, she planned to cook spicy boiled fish for him, it was her specialty.

She pointed at the chosen fish and said softly, "Sir, please help me catch this fish and slice it for me."

The fish seller was a young man. When he saw Karen, his face turned red. He nodded and swiftly slaughter the fish to slice and scale it. Then, he picked up several bags, packed the fish fillets in, and handed them to Karen. "Here you go. Please come again next time!"

Karen smiled and took the fish. "Thank you!"

After leaving the fish stall, Karen walked to the vegetable area next to it. After taking two steps, she suddenly heard Kevin's deep voice. "You're quite popular."

Karen reached out and hooked onto his arm. She raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Because I'm also quite excellent."

Kevin paused for a second. He pulled out his arm and held her hand instead, and he continued to walk around.

After buying the necessities, the task of carrying the bags naturally fell on Kevin.

Seeing that his hands were full, she relaxed. She smiled sweetly and thought that it was really nice to have a thoughtful husband.

She also noticed a very touching little detail. When Kevin came to the supermarket with her, he did not bring his business mobile phone with him, but just accompanied her to go shopping.

Along the way, the two did not talk. When they got home, Kevin put the ingredients they bought into the kitchen. "I'll cook with you tonight."

Karen looked at him and smiled. "You can just wash the dishes. Besides, I'll only make two dishes. I'll be done in no time."

She felt that Kevin would affect her performance, so it was better to drive him away.

Kevin thought for a while and realized that he was really not good at cooking anyway, so he listened to her.

Karen first cleaned the rice and cooked it in the pot, she then washed the vegetables, prepared the seasonings, and boiled the fish.

Others may like to use beansprout as the base of the fish dish, but Karen likes to add onions instead.

It didn't take long for the boiled fish to be ready. Karen tasted the fish, then did only she ask Kevin, who was still busy with work, to come out for dinner.

Because of her previous experience, Karen prepared extra cutlery.

She picked up some fish and onion with her chopsticks and looked at Kevin, her eyes fluttering. "Have a taste. See if you like it?"

Kevin looked at the onions and frowned. His hand, holding his spoon, did not move for a long time.

Karen noticed this and asked uneasily, "You don't like to eat onions?"

"No." Somehow, Kevin was unwilling to admit that his allergies to onions in front of her.

He was thinking about the last time he didn't eat what she had put in his bowl, she was so angry and had stayed at her friend's house for a whole night. If he didn't eat again this time...

Thinking of this, Kevin looked up at her. Looking at her eyes which were looking at him expectantly, he stopped thinking and picked up his spoon to eat.

Kevin sat upright and continued to eat very seriously and elegantly as usual. He did not speak much, nor did he say whether it was delicious or not.

After living with him for some time now, Karen knew that he didn't talk much, so she didn't care about this anymore.

They had almost finished their meal. Seeing Kevin's flushed face, Karen asked worriedly, "Kevin, what's wrong with your face?"

"I'm fine." Kevin got up. "I have to go out. I may not come back tonight."

Karen looked at him and said sadly, "Be careful!"

Kevin went back to his room and took a coat. He left quickly without saying another word.

After arriving downstairs, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. "Drive me to the hospital right away."

......

It was Monday, Kevin called Karen after a night of absence and told her that he had gone on a business trip. Karen also had a new project to work on.

According to Sunnie, the leader of Star Glow Corporation was very fond of the previous proposal she had prepared, so he asked her to be in charge of this project and for her to hand in a preliminary proposal within three days.

With just three days, it was not easy to hand in a proposal that would satisfy him.

Karen was also a person who was particularly strict with her work. She couldn't get out of it, and as soon as she was at work, and she would keep herself so busy that she wouldn't even eat.

At noon, William came over and looked at Karen with some distress, "Karen, let's go out for lunch."

Karen said without raising her head, "You go ahead. I'll go when I'm done with this thing."

He had been working with Karen for three years. Didn't he already know that Karen was avoiding him? Hence, he reached out and put his hand on her hand which was holding her mouse. "Karen, let's go eat first, and come back after eating, okay?"
