My Husband, Warm The Bed

Vanessa was on leave, so she planned to sleep in with Lawrie. However, Lawrie had gone to bed early the night before, so he had already woken up. He rolled into Vanessa's arms and nuzzled up against her. "Mommy, do you love me?"

Vanessa, "Of course I love you."

"I love you too," said Lawrie.

Vanessa said, "Lawrie, can you let me sleep for a little while longer?"

Lawrie said, "Okay."

However, in the next minute, Lawrie once again climbed onto Vanessa's body and held her face as he asked. "Mommy, how much do you love me?"

Vanessa really wanted to stuff his mouth, but she must not show any dissatisfaction at him. Otherwise, this sensitive boy would start thinking that she didn't love him again.

Sure enough, when he didn't receive Vanessa's reply, Lawrie once again pouted his lips. He said, "Mommy, are you not answering me because you don't love me?"

Vanessa shoved him under the blanket and said, "Lawrie, if you disturb me again, I'm not going to talk to you anymore."

"Mommy, can I play with your phone then?" Lawrie asked.

Vanessa usually would not allow Lawrie to keep himself occupied with any electronic devices, but in order to stop Lawrie from disturbing her sleep, Vanessa had made it an exception this time. As soon as Lawrie had gotten the phone, he rolled to the other side of the bed and immediately became engrossed in it.

After a while, he looked back at Vanessa and said, "Mommy..."

Vanessa did not respond.

Lawrie called out tentatively, "Mommy, are you asleep?"

Vanessa still did not respond. She must have fallen asleep.

Lawrie slowly slid down the bed with the mobile phone in his hand and hid in the living room to search through Vanessa's call log. There were not many phone numbers in Vanessa's contact list and there was only one number in her call log.

Humph, this should be that big bad guy's phone number.

Lawrie tapped on the screen with his tiny finger and dialled the phone number. However, he was still young, he could not understand what was shown on the screen, so he patiently waited until the call got through.

After a while, a cold male voice sounded from the phone. "What's the matter?"

Lawrie had heard this very voice before. He was sure that this person on the other side of the call was the big bad guy who had been bullying his mother. "Humph, you're a big bad guy. Just wait till I grow up, I'm going to fight you."

Julien said, "Ask Vanessa to answer the phone."

Lawrie said, "She's not free. Don't call her again, or I will bite you."

Julien repeated himself, "Ask her to answer the phone."

"This big bad guy is so fierce," Lawrie said inwardly. Lawrie was somewhat scared as he listened to Julien's voice, but he still plucked up his courage and said in a confident tone, "Big bad guy, you're not allowed to be fierce to me, and you're not allowed to bully her."

Julien said, "If you don't give her the phone now, I'll make sure that you'll never get to see her ever again."

Julien's words hit Lawrie's soft spot at that instant. Lawrie was so terrified that he began to bawl. "Big bad guy! You're a bad guy! You're the worst! I hate you!"

Lawrie's cry travelled to the bedroom, waking Vanessa up. She quickly got out of bed and rushed to the living room. She saw that Lawrie was crying and yelling at her phone, and she could hear Julien's voice coming out of the phone, "Hey, you little brat, stop crying!"

Julien's voice...

Upon hearing Julien's voice, Vanessa knew that she was done for. What if Lawrie had accidentally said that she was his mother? What should she do? Without a second thought, Vanessa rushed over and snatched the phone away. After hanging up the phone, she asked, "Lawrie, what's going on?"

Lawrie threw himself into Vanessa's arms. "Mommy, the big bad guy is so fierce. He bullied me."

Vanessa patted his back to comfort him. "Tell me. How did he bully you?"

Lawrie said, "He asked you to answer the phone. He even said that he won't let me see you ever again."

Listening to what Lawrie had said, Vanessa was so nervous that she swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "Lawrie, what did you say to him?"

Lawrie said, "I said that he was a big bad guyi"

Vanessa asked again, "What else?"

Lawrie answered, "I told him not to bully you anymore."

At that instant, Vanessa's heart was in her mouth as she asked, "Lawrie, did you tell him that I'm your mother?"

Lawrie shook his head. "No."

Vanessa slowly calmed down. She held Lawrie's face and said in a stern voice, "Didn't I tell you that you're not allowed to answer my calls? Why didn't you listen to me?" Lawrie wiped his tears and said piteously, "Mommy, I did not answer the phone. I called him."

Vanessa was dumbfounded. She had been putting in so much effort to hide Lawrie from Julien, but this ignorant son actually called Julien on the phone himself.

If Julien were to order his men to look into it... Vanessa did not even dare think about the consequences. Just the thought of it could give her a mental breakdown. Vanessa picked Lawrie up and sat him down on the couch. Then, she asked, "Tell me, Lawrie. Have you realised what you've done wrong?" Lawrie pursed his lips as he shook his head.

Vanessa said, "I've told you not to simply make calls with my phone, and to always listen to me obediently. Don't you remember?" Lawrie shook his head pitifully.

Vanessa steeled her heart and said, "I want you to go stand at the corner and think about your mistakes. Come to me once you've thought it through. Or else, I'm not going to talk to you."

Lawrie wiped his tears and said, "No, Mommy. I don't want that."

Vanessa pointed at the corner of the room. "Go, now. I want you to reflect on yourself."

"Mommy, don't you love me anymore?" Lawrie asked.

Vanessa insisted, "I want you to reflect on yourself first, or you're not allowed to talk to me."

What Lawrie feared the most was his mother ignoring him. Hence, he could only stand at a corner and reflect on himself. Although he did not think that what he had done was wrong, since Vanessa said he was wrong, then he would just accept that he was at fault.

Vanessa reminded, "Stand straight."

Lawrie immediately straightened his back.

It was easy for Vanessa to deal with Lawrie, but there was still a bigger problem waiting for her. She had to find an excuse to explain it to Julien. Otherwise, what was she going to do if he became curious and asked his men to investigate her past?

Vanessa went into the room and dialed Julien's phone number. However, no one had picked up the call. Vanessa called again, and the call had only gotten through on the fourth time.

Vanessa said in a hurry, "Good morning..."

Julien did not reply her.

Vanessa added, "My friend's son wanted to call his mother with my phone but I had no idea why he started crying when he was on the phone. It was only when I took a look at the call log that I realized he had dialled the wrong number."

Julien was still not uttering a word, and Vanessa did not know if he was listening. However, no matter if he was listening, Vanessa had to continue to explain. She had to try her best to convince him. "He told me that it was not his mother who answered the phone, so he thought that a big bad guy had taken his mother away, and that's why he cried."

Julien was still haughty as always. It was so much so that he couldn't even give Vanessa a simple reply. However, no matter how cold he was, Vanessa still had to confront him, "My dear Mr. Kyle, could you at least let me know that you're still listening?"

Without a word, Julien hung up on Vanessa, which was the most direct form of response.

Vanessa felt dumbfounded.

Goodness! At this point, Vanessa could only hope that Julien had not caught on anything and he wouldn't send his men to look into Lawrie's background.
