"Because there are too many uncontrollable factors to consider. I have to think about them one by one." Kevin Kyle answered seriously.
"I'm just joking with you. Why are you so serious?" Karen Daly glanced at him and smiled. "Let's get up. There are still a lot of things to do today."
"Karen—" Kevin called Karen's name. He wanted to say something but stopped speaking.
"What's wrong?" Karen looked back at him.
After a moment of silence, Kevin said seriously again, "I'm serious about every word I've said to you."
Every word was true.
......
Last night, the whole family went back to their rooms early to rest. There was nothing to worry about so they slept well. They got up early too.
Sarrabelle requested for the helpers to prepare some luxurious breakfast, which looked so appetizing that it got everyone salivating.
When Mama Kyle came back from her morning exercise routine, she helped to prepare the breakfast too for everyone at home.
As they were busy, Neil Brown went downstairs and came to the dining room. He sat down and began to eat, ignoring table manners.
Mama Kyle looked at him and shook her head, "When can you change your behavior?"
"What's wrong with it?" Neil took a bite of his toast and looked up at Mama Kyle. "Don't compare me to your son. I'm not the same person as he is."
After a pause, she asked again, "What on earth were you doing all day?"
"I go to work, get off work, eat dinner, sleep... I'll repeat these things every day. What else can I do?" After that, Neil took the glass of milk handed over by Mama Kyle and gulped it down.
Mama Kyle looked up and did not see Mia Kyle with him. She asked again, "What are you going to do about your relationship with Mia?"
Mia was not a biological child of the Kyle family, so she had no blood relationship with Neil. As long as they were willing, Mama Kyle would give blessings to their relationship and even plan their wedding.
"What else can I do? Just do whatever she wants." Neil responded with a slight smile on his face.
Neil thought about his crazy night with her. He thought about how powerful and strong he was last night, so much that he doubted that Mia could get up well today.
"I asked about your plans and you threw me more questions. Neil, don't you want to be responsible?" Seeing Neil's arrogant attitude, Mama Kyle was also angry.
Mia was raised by their family, so their love for Mia was no less than Kevin's. If Neil toyed around with Mia's feelings, then Mama Kyle would be the first one to be furious.
"That girl is still young, and she wants to continue with her acting career... You can ask her, I will do whatever she wants." For the first time, Neil talked about Mia with such a serious tone.
Mia always said that she was still young and did not want to give up her career to raise a family. Although Neil did not mention it to her before, but he had firmly remembered her words.
Mama Kyle poked his head and said, "You're a big man. If you don't take the initiative, how can you ask the little girl to propose to you?"
Neil ate another mouthful of his toast and said casually, "Wasn't it enough for me to take the initiative to climb to her room every night?"
Mama Kyle was so furious at Neil's words.
