"Little Karen, go play with uncle." Neil came over and carried Little Karen away.
Neil had never been interested in these adult gatherings so he thought it was better to spend time with the kid.
"I'm going with them too." Mia followed behind Neil too.
Papa Kyle and Mama Kyle were talking with Jayden. They haven't really connected with Jayden yet, so they wanted to bond with the child.
After a while, Kevin went back to the study room to work. Karen was told that he was going to have a video conference.
Karen had nothing to do, so she helped Sarabelle serve desserts and fruits to everyone. As the hostess of the household, she needed to make sure that everyone had an amazing experience at the gathering.
"You're not listening to me again." When Kevin saw Karen enter his study room with fruits, he frowned.
"Look, I'm fine." Carrying this baby wasn't as much hassle as carrying Little Karen. Karen was able to stay active and her health condition was very good.
Kevin pulled Karen to sit on his lap, "Why don't we tell our parents about the baby while everyone is here today?"
"No, we agreed that we will tell after the first trimester." Karen was a little worried. She was afraid that if others knew about it, someone would cause something harmful.
It was probably a fear she developed when she was pregnant with Little Karen. Her experience last time was too horrible. She could still remember very clearly how upset and devastating she felt that time.
"Ok, we will tell our parents when you're ready." Kevin has always listened to Karen on things like these.
"Mr Kyle, thank you for being so considerate." Karen stood up and massaged him. "Alright, back to work now, just ignore me."
How could Kevin ignore her when she was in the room? He had somehow mastered his self- control so that he wouldn't show how much she affected him.
Whenever these two were together, they would always be super lovey- dovey. They probably did not argue much.
The situation between Neil and Mia was quite the opposite. Their relationship was similar to a bomb and its fuse. They could cause an explosion anytime.
"Neil, you're walking so fast. Where are you going exactly?" Mia was walking at a quick pace too but Neil was still much quicker than her. His speed didn't seem to slow down even when he was carrying Little Karen on his shoulders.
Neil Brown might be doing it on purpose. He ignored her since they met up. He would definitely need to pay for this.
"Mia, why are you following me when I want to spend time with Little Karen?" Neil could tell that Little Karen didn't like her new brother and he didn't want her to feel uncomfortable, so he took her out.
He also expected that Mia would follow him.
Although they were away from the family, Little Karen was acting as a third wheel. He couldn't possibly do whatever he wanted, so it was better for Mia to return indoors.
"Neil, since you like children so much, why don't we have our own?" Mia was becoming more direct lately.
They had been together for a while now and hadn't been using any contraception methods. Under normal circumstances, they could get pregnant soon. Yet, there were no signs or symptoms.
As Mia thought of this, she looked at Neil and said, "Hey Neil, do you possibly have any health problems?"
Neil raised his eyebrows, "What?"
Mia stared at Neil and then looked back at her belly, "I've been thinking about this. The days we spent together were during my ovulation period, but I didn't get pregnant... I'm sure the problem is not me so where do you think the problem was?"
