My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 690

Karen Joy Kyle looked at Nathaniel Cooper and noticed every slight change in his expression. This was her last hope.

If she showed him the necklace and he denied it again, he most probably wasn't her Brother Lionel then.

Nathaniel did not deny it immediately, so this gave Karen Joy some hope.

While waiting, Karen Joy was so nervous that she gulped several times and unconsciously approached him a little. "Mr. President, this necklace was given to me by my Brother Lionel. Brother Lionel told me that after I grew up, I could come to him with this necklace."

He might be hesitating, but it did not matter. She would try harder to remind him of something that he might have forgotten. He might be able to recall their special relationship.

"Silly girl, this is just an ordinary necklace. Your Brother Lionel asked you to bring this necklace along to find him, but this is what an adult would say to lie to a child, how can you take it seriously?" After a dreadful wait, Nathaniel finally responded.

His tone was very monotonous and he did now show any expressions, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"An adult lying to a child?" Karen Joy took back the necklace and put it back on her neck. "A person like you will never understand what a promise means to a child."

"Maybe... I really don't understand." His hands balled into fists tightly. God knew how much strength he needed to mutter out those words that he knew would hurt her tremendously, but he had to seem relaxed.

Karen Joy bit her lips and said with certainty, "Maybe some people would think that children don't understand anything and they can't remember anything, but my Brother Lionel wasn't that type of person."

Over the years, Karen Joy had heard a lot about this. Even her father would sugarcoat matters with her, but she firmly believed that Brother Lionel was not joking with her when he made his promise.

"Little girl..."

"Don't call me that." She was 18 years old. She was an adult. Her family would not address her as a little girl, so how could he?

Did he really think that he was her Brother Lionel?

Karen Joy bit her lips, turned around and wanted to open the door. However, the door was locked as the car was still moving, so she could not open it at all.

She was so anxious that she hit the driver's seat and exclaimed, "Stop the car. I want to get out."

She did not want to stay with this man as he demoralised her efforts to find Brother Lionel.

If she stayed for a second longer, she might lose control of the emotions welling up in her body and furiously beat him up.

"Bad guy!"

How could he say that about her Brother Lionel!

"Karen Joy, this is not your home, and these people around you are not your family. No one will tolerate you if you cause trouble." He glanced at her and said coldly.

"Of course, throwing a tantrum is my own business. It has nothing to do with you, so you don't need to tolerate me too. Now I want to get out of the car. Tell him to stop the car and let me go." Similarly, Karen Joy also stared at him and replied him coldly.

Nathaniel pressed the dial button next to his seat, then he spoke in a deep voice, "Stop the car."

Hearing his order, the car decelerated almost immediately and slowly came to a stop. Karen Joy glared at him, opened the car door and was about to get off.
