When Karen suddenly heard that Kevin wanted to return to Dreamland City, she was quite shocked. She had quite the same idea as Kevin.
Did Kevin also want to go to Dreamland City, or did he find out that she wanted to go?
"Hey Karen, Little Karen is fine now. Don't worry." Kevin let Little Karen sit on his thighs and patted Karen's head.
"Kevin, let's find another person to keep Little Karen company." Karen was still scared of what had happened in kindergarten earlier. She was worried that Little Karen would be bullied by other children in the future.
Although it was quite normal for children to have quarrels from time to time, what if she'd come across the parents just like today? Herself and Kevin would not always be around Little Karen, so what if Little Karen was bullied again?
Every child was the apple of their parents' eyes. Karen was not around when Little Karen was growing up, so she felt that she owed Little Karen too much. Her love for Little Karen was overflowing now that she could not even bear to see Little Karen get mistreated at all.
Kevin embraced her and said, "I will handle this. You..."
Before Kevin could finish, Karen interrupted him and said, "Kevin, I don't want you to take care of everything. I want to share the burden with you."
He had always mentioned that she was his wife.
The wife should, therefore, be the person that he would face challenges with and they could overcome these challenges together. She shouldn't be treated like a child and have everything done by him.
"Karen, what's wrong?" When he called Karen in the afternoon, Kevin knew that something must have happened, that's why he got off work early and went to the kindergarten.
"I, I'm fine."
"You're fine?"
"If I said I'm fine, then I am."
Karen turned her head and looked out the window, ignoring Kevin.
She tried really hard to calm down, hoping that she would not project her emotions onto Kevin.
She didn't want to say more, and Kevin didn't ask further either.
On the way to Dreamland City, no one spoke a word.
Although a few years had passed, the house they had in Dreamland City was still the same as it was a few years ago.
The slippers were orderly put in the shoe cabinet at the door porch and the furniture had not been moved at all either.
Even the bamboo bell hanging by the balcony was still there. As the breeze came by, the small and beautiful bells would collide and made those clear and melodious noises.
Just like those years, when Karen came here with Kevin for the first time, she felt somewhat uneasy too.
Now, in addition to having Kevin by her side, they had Little Karen, and also the baby in her belly.
Time did fly by. Sometimes, Karen felt that it was just yesterday when she got legally married to Kevin.
Sometimes, it would also make her feel that it's been too long. So long that there were two more additions to the family already.
"Little Karen, we are home now." Kevin put Little Karen down and helped her put on a tiny and gorgeous pair of pink house slippers.
Pink was Little Karen's favorite color. She had a look at the shoes and replied sweetly, "Yes, I like them very much. Thank you, Daddy!"
"Woof woof!" Momo rushed over to them. She ran around her master cheerfully. It seemed like she'd also been sent here to reunite with the family.
