My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 9

But in the end, they felt that Chatterton was not too bad, so Faye settled down there with Karen. They then pooled their money and opened a bridal wear design studio.

But Karen needed money. To be precise, she felt that she couldn't rely on anyone, not even those closest to her. Only money could give her a sense of security. She needed more work to make money, so she applied to join Innovative Tech. That was how Karen came to only serve as a passive investor of the design studio, and no longer managed its operations.

But Faye knew that this was not the only reason. The real reason was that Karen was no longer willing to design wedding dresses. Hence, she wanted a job that was completely different from that.

It was a wound buried in the deepest part of her heart. Until now, no one could help her to get rid of the scar in her heart.

In front of Faye, Karen had no secrets at all. It was Faye who hand-arranged the blind date between Karen and Kevin.

She wanted to ask Faye out this weekend to tell her everything - that she had married Kevin! But she didn't expect that Faye had already gone to her rented apartment to look for her so soon.

Karen listened quietly. After Faye had finished yelling, she said softly, "Faye, don't worry, I'm fine. The Star Glow project will be over on Friday. I'll treat you to dinner this weekend."

Faye shouted in a flustered tone, "B*tch, you scared me to death! Do you think that a meal can make up for my mental damage?"

Karen knew that Faye was a sharp-tongued person. She couldn't help but smile, and she said, "How about I sleep with you for a night to compensate you?"

When Karen said this, Kevin had just pushed opened the door and entered. He paused slightly and trying to figure out who Karen was talking to.

Although Karen usually smiled and seemed to be close to everyone, the reality was that the only person who could really get close to her was Faye Reed.

Kevin knew all these, but Karen did not know that he knew.

She quickly muted herself on the phone and whispered to him, "This is a female friend of mine."

No matter if they were in love or not, she would never do anything that would make Kevin "jealous".

Kevin nodded and did not ask more questions. He left thoughtfully to give her some space to continue her chat.

However, Karen thought that Kevin did not believe her. She pursed her lips and smiled helplessly. Perhaps he thought of her as promiscuous.

"Karen, Karen..." Faye, on the other end of the phone, roared again, "Tell me your address, and I'll go to find you."

Karen knew that Faye was worried about her. If she didn't convince Faye that she was fine by today, Faye would definitely call the police to report a missing person.

Karen smiled gently and said, "Stop it. I'll go and find you."

Hanging up the phone, Karen packed up and prepared to stay over at Faye's place for a night. She wanted to tell her about the marriage honestly.

She knocked on the door of the study. When she heard Kevin say 'Enter', she pushed the door open and walked in. "Kevin, I'm going over to my friend Faye's place tonight. I won't come back until tomorrow."

Kevin immediately got up and said, "I'll drive you there."

Karen shook her head. "It’s alright. Don't bother."

Kevin stared at her. "It's too late. I'm worried about you going out alone."

His tone was tough and direct, making it hard for Karen to refuse.

Kevin's car was a Land Rover. For people like him, it was not expensive, and it was spacious and comfortable.

Kevin's driving was very steady, just like his personality.
