"Mm, such exciting news!" Karen Daly's soft voice came from the phone and into Karen Joy Kyle's ear. "Congratulations, my baby Karen can finally work for her sweetheart."
Karen Daly's voice was gentle and it sounded like she was not surprised at all. It seemed that she had expected her precious daughter would have done so.
"Mom, but I'm still a little worried." Karen Joy's mother had always supported any of her endeavors, but Karen Joy knew that it would be hard to explain it to her father.
It was she who had volunteered to work for Brother Lionel. If her father misunderstood that it was Brother Lionel who asked her to work for him, that would bring Brother Lionel some big trouble.
"My dear girl, don't worry, go and work by your Brother Lionel's side. If your Dad doesn't support you, I will explain to him!" Naturally, Karen knew what her daughter was worried about.
"Thank you Mom!" Karen Joy said in a sweet voice.
Every time she could not handle her father, her mother would come out to help. With her mother's help, handling her father would be a piece of cake!
Karen Joy was happy to hear her mother's kind words. However, at Karen Daly's end, the man lying beside her now had a terrifying expression on his face. He was extremely dissatisfied after listening in to their conversation, so he moved closer to Karen and took a bite at her neck.
"Ouch Karen felt a stab of pain and exclaimed. She turned around and glared at him viciously. How could this man act so recklessly at this moment?
"Mom, are you okay?" Upon hearing her mother exclaim, Karen Joy asked with a concerned voice.
"I think a bug might have bitten me," Karen replied. How could Karen tell her daughter that Kevin Kyle had bitten her? She had to come up with an excuse.
However, as soon as she gave this excuse, Kevin had grabbed her into his embrace and gave her another bite. What an aloof yet unreasonable man!
Karen was flabbergasted by her husband's behaviour. She was rendered speechless
She held her breath and didn't make a sound. However, she was not a little sheep whom Kevin could bully. She raised her arm and elbowed Kevin hard.
She attacked him, but Kevin did not feel any pain. On the contrary, there was a faint smile on his face, and he held her in his arms and bit her again.
Karen shot him a warning glare. She seemed to be hinting, "I'm still on the phone with our daughter, don't mess around."
However, when a man like Kevin was feeling stubborn, he would be very stubborn. Moreover, he would be overbearing at the same time. Instead of letting go of Karen, he stretched out his hands and his fingers wandered along her bare skin, under her clothes.
Karen quickly grabbed Kevin's hand. Suddenly, she heard Karen Joy calling her in a soft voice, "Mom..."
"Yes, Baby, I'm listening, go ahead..." Because she was worried that her daughter might had heard something, she was already stuttering.
Thinking that her embarrassment was caused by Kevin's hands, Karen turned her head and glared at him fiercely. However, Kevin leaned over and kissed her again.
Karen,"..."
Men and wild beasts were the same - hard to tame!
Karen Joy's soft and sweet voice sounded again, "Mom, actually, I just want to ask you, what do you think about Brother Lionel?"
Karen Joy knew that her father didn't have a good impression of Brother Lionel, but she didn't know what her mother thought of him.
Although her mother didn't object to her relationship with Brother Lionel, she had never mentioned that she liked Brother Lionel in a romantic way.
Karen Joy was getting more and more keen to become his bride, so she hoped that her sweetheart could get the recognition of her family. Hence, she posed this question to her mother.
"Lionel?" In the past, Karen had always had a good impression of Lionel.
Now that she didn't have much contact with him, Karen didn't know him very well. But she believed that a boy who had protected her daughter with his own life could definitely be trusted.
