A silver Ferrari was parked at the side of the road. It had been there for a while now, so a layer of snow piled up on the roof of the car.
There was a man sitting in the driver's seat of the car. The man's eyes fell on Karen and followed her every move.
He looked at her with mixed emotions. He had his vision fixed on Karen.
It had only been three short days, yet she seemed to have lost some weight.
Even though she was wearing a thick down jacket, it was still impossible to hide the fact that she had lost weight.
This damn woman!"
Did she really know how to take care of herself?
Why couldn't she take better care of herself so that he didn't have to worry about her that much.
Kevin Kyle clenched his fists over and over again as he watched Karen standing beside the road. He tried really hard to hold his urge to rush out of the car.
If he turned up now, that heartless woman could do anything.
Just let it be for now, for her to stay at the placethat he'd arranged.
Even when he was not by her side, it would still be better than having her find some random place to stay and completely stayed out of his sight.
However, Karen was completely unaware that someone was watching her. Looking at the snow that was getting heavier, she pulled her coat tighter and walked towards the bus stop nearby.
She had promised Little Karen that she would be home by lunch, so she had to do so. She did not want to let Little Karen down.
Perhaps because of the snow, there were fewer pedestrians on the streets, but the line for the bus was getting longer.
It would probably take at least half an hour until her turn. Karen so wished that she had wings and could just fly home to her daughter's side that instant.
Yet, even if she wanted to take a cab now, she would still have to be in a long queue. If she waited for everyone to be picked up in the line, it would be noon by the time it was her turn.
It was getting closer to lunch time. Karen was still waiting at the same spot. She could neither get a taxi, nor get on the bus. She didn' t know what to do.
Meanwhile, Little Karen called. Karen apologized as soon as the call was connected, "Baby Karen, I am still busy. I'll get home slightly later. You have lunch with Auntie Faye first, okay?"
Little Karen did not answer straight away. She was probably very disappointed. However, she did not want her mother to be upset, so she responded sweetly, "Okay, I will be a good girl and eat first. Mommy, you don't have to worry."
"Okay. Have a good meal. I will be back soon." After she hung up, Karen looked up and saw that the queue ahead of her was still very long.
Karen shook her head. All this while, she had transportation arranged for her if she ever wanted to go somewhere. She was not used to having to do this all of a sudden.
Before she met Kevin, her life was just like this. So she knew that she could get used to this in no time.
Just as Karen had a look around, she saw a gift store nearby. She immediately had the thought of getting a gift for Baby Karen.
