On the weekend, when Kevin was working in the study, Karen was sitting on the balcony reading.
Although it seemed very boring, Karen liked this kind of peaceful days very much. Time had passed by peacefully.
Today, Kevin suddenly proposed to go for a walk. Was he trying to apologize for what happened last night?
Regardless of his intentions, Karen would just assume that he was thinking this way. She forced a smile and said, "I have an appointment with someone at noon. Can I go out with you later?"
"Okay." Kevin nodded and did not say anything else. Then he turned to look out of the window.
Watching his lonely figure, Karen suddenly can't bear to see him like that and added, "I just need to say a few things to that person. It won't take much time."
Karen promised to meet Kristine. The purpose of Karen's meeting with Kristine was to ask about her mother's condition. She didn't want to talk about anything else with Kristine.
Kevin turned around and there was a glimpse of light in his eyes. "Can I go with you after lunch?"
Kevin was asking Karen in a questioning tone, he was waiting for her answer.
Karen was going to see Kristine, who was a part of a very painful memory of her past. Karen was not willing to let Kevin accompany her.
Kevin would be her everything now and also her future. She will deal with everything in the past on her own. She didn't want to drag him in and cause any trouble to him.
But she can't bear to refuse Kevin's request. She was struggling so much because she didn't know how to answer. Then she heard Kevin say, "Go and wash up. I'll go out first and wait for you for lunch."
He came over, picked Momo up, and went to the living room. When he put Momo on the sofa, he stared at Momo with an unfriendly gaze.
"Woof, woof, woof..." Momo was very intelligent. It could feel Kevin's unfriendly gaze, it tried to use its own way to confront him.
After barking for some time, Momo's voice softened. This man was so scary. Just by looking at him, his aura was so overwhelming that Momo did not want to bark anymore.
If Momo could talk, Momo would ask her mother to bring it far away from such a cold man.
"Woo—"
This man was so scary. Why must he look at it with such a horrifying look?
Well, it couldn't fight him, so it ran back to its mother for rescue.
However, as soon as it ran, Kevin reached out and brought it back. Kevin also patted its head like Karen and said. "Be a good girl."
"Woo—"
Momo laid on his stomach and didn't dare to move anymore. It was so afraid that this evil man would break its neck.
Kevin patted its head again. For someone who was a germaphobe like him, he had never been in contact with small animals.
The reason why he accepted this little pet was that it was a very important pet to Karen. She regarded it as her child.
After getting along with it for some time, he found out that small animals were not as annoying as he imagined, sometimes they could be quite cute.
Especially when it made Karen happy.
It was so easy for Momo to make Karen laugh, but he couldn't.
Karen washed up and saw them together. Momo knelt beside Kevin comfortably while Kevin was gently patting its head.
At first, she was worried that Kevin would not accept Momo. But after observing for a while, she realized that Kevin just didn't like to express his feelings. Actually, he likes Momo.
But anyway, Momo was so cute, how could anyone not like Momo?
"Momo, are you playing with Uncle Kevin?" Karen stood beside them and patted Momo's head.
