Although a child's temper would come and go quickly, some words would still have a great impact.
Especially when she was going to the kindergarten these days, she saw that other children were brought to school by their mothers, but her mother was not around. Little Karen was also very confused.
Little Aunt said that when she grows up, her mother would fly back. She felt that she had already grown up. She was already over three years old and could pass as a big child now. But why wasn't her mother back yet?
Little Karen blinked her big eyes, looked at Karen Daly, and asked innocently, "Do you know where my mother flew to?"
She didn't expect Little Karen to ask such a question all of a sudden, so she was slightly stunned and didn't know how to answer it.
She thought for a while, sat beside Little Karen, held her face up, and said seriously, "She flew to heaven, maybe she will never come back. But she will definitely watch Little Karen grow up healthy and happy in heaven."
"She will watch over me!" Little Karen exclaimed excitedly.
In Little Karen's memory, she didn't know what her mother looked like, nor did she know who her mother was. She only knew that children will definitely have mothers, so she should have a mother.
"Yes." Karen Daly nodded and picked up Little Karen. "Besides your mom, you would still have your dad, aunt, uncle, and a lot of people who love you."
"I also have my little sister Momo and Brother Lionel..." Little Karen looked back and saw Brother Lionel who had been following her.
Brother Lionel told her that he would protect her and help her to chase away all the bad guys, so she was not afraid of anything.
"Do you want to play with Brother Lionel?" Karen Daly read through Little Karen thoughts and asked kindly.
Little Karen nodded her little head hard and said softly, "Of course, I want to play with Brother Lionel."
Karen Daly let go of Little Karen, rubbed her head, and said softly, "Then go."
"Okay." Little Karen turned around and ran towards Brother Lionel. She had short little legs, but she was very fast.
Brother Lionel opened his arms to catch Little Karen. He picked her up and gently rubbed her head. Then he turned around and left with Little Karen in his arms.
Looking at their retreating figures, Karen Daly was mesmerized.
"What are you thinking about?"
Suddenly, she heard Kevin Kyle's low and sexy voice, which pulled her back from her thoughts.
She turned around and smiled at him. "Where did you find such a guy? I think he is really good with Little Karen."
After Karen Daly lived in Secret Garden, she saw Brother Lionel several times. She had never heard the guy say a word or seen him smile. He always put out a cold front. However, he was smiling at Little Karen earlier.
Although his smile was not obvious, Karen Daly still saw it. It was a good thing to have such a person to watch over Little Karen.
Kevin Kyle said, "I didn't find him. Little Karen found him on her own."
In the beginning, Kevin Kyle was not keen on the idea of allowing an unknown person to take care of Little Karen. He always had someone observe Lionel secretly.
After observing for a period of time, he was assured that Lionel did not have other intentions. He was willing to accompany Little Karen, just to repay Little Karen's life-saving grace.
He felt that his daughter was quite good at picking people. Since she had found a loyal guardian so soon, he could worry less in the future.
"Little Karen found him on her own? She's still so young, where did she find him?" Karen Daly continued to ask. She didn't notice that she was asking too much.
"Let's not talk about Little Karen." Kevin Kyle held Karen Daly's hand and said softly, "How about going for a walk with me?"
