My Husband, Warm The Bed

"All of you are like this. Once you have partners, you'll forget about us elders." Mia waved her hand. "Sigh, forget about it. I won't be pestering you guys anymore. Goodbye!"

Mia always had this kind of personality. She was at fault, but she was stubborn. No matter what, she had to find a way out. Karen Joy understood that, but she didn't expose Mia. "Aunt Mia, it's all our fault. Just go find Uncle Neil quickly."

"But..." Watching Mia leave, Larry sneaked a glance at his father, who was standing beside his mother. "Should I be an obedient child that both Mom and Dad will be satisfied with?"

Seeing that his father loved him so much, he had better leave his mother alone with his father. He didn't want his father to become like Levi who would usher him away when seen. "Mom, I'm going to find Lawrie. Just accompany Dad, I won't bother you two anymore." Seeing his father's satisfied look, Larry felt that he really was a considerate child. Karen Joy said, "Larry..."

"It's rare for Larry to be so considerate, why are you still holding him back?" Lionel grabbed Karen Joy's hand, saying, "We've been busy the past few days until we haven't had the time to have a good talk. Let's take a walk together."

Karen Joy withdrew her gaze and looked at Lionel fiercely. "Lionel, don't take this the wrong way but we've been together for so many years and are together almost every day. Don't you feel tired at all?" Lionel immediately lowered his voice and asked, "Are you tired of it?"

"How could I be?" Karen Joy said. "I can't help but want you to stay with me every second, but I'm scared that you'd find me annoying after too long and become interested in other women." Lionel asked again, "Do you really think this way?"

"Well, I really do," Karen Joy said with a smile. As she watched Lionel's face change, she added, "But, I know you'll never do anything like that to me. I just worry."

"Karen Joy, I'm sorry!" Not only did Lionel not blame her, but he even apologized to her.

Karen Joy immediately reached out to fondle his head. "Lionel, you haven't really done anything to hurt me. Why are you suddenly telling me that you're sorry? Could it be..."

She knew that Lionel would not betray her but when the idea came to her mind, she suddenly felt a stabbing pain in her heart.

"There is only one reason you'd be worried that I will be interested in other women. It's that I don't treat you well enough. I'll make sure to give it extra attention." This was the only explanation Lionel gave her. It was simple, yet it suited him. All these years, this was how he pampered Karen Joy.

"Lionel, no, that's not what I meant." How was she supposed to explain herself?

It was precisely that he treated her so well, too well that she was afraid of losing him. She would worry about him occasionally but she understood that he would never betray her in this life. Lionel hugged her and rested his chin on her head. "Karen Joy, I know what you're trying to say, but I want to treat you well, only you. Me treating you well in this life, is my greatest joy."

"I know. I've known it for many years." Karen Joy opened her arms to hug Lionel's waist. "Lionel, I really, really like you, as much as you like me."

"I know." He understood her in the same way. Ever since she traveled alone to find him many years ago, he already knew how much she liked him. They loved each other so much that their hearts could not fit anyone else.

Karen Joy said happily, "Let's go out for dinner tonight."

Lionel replied, "Okay. Then, I'll go find Larry."

"Lionel, do you really want to take Larry with us? Don't you feel like he's a massive third wheel?"

"Larry is our child, who you endured 10 months of suffering for. I love him so much, how could I think he's an annoying third wheel?" Lionel rubbed Karen Joy's head and continued, "That little guy doesn't understand me, and now you don't either?"

"But, I don't want to bring Larry with us tonight. I want you to be mine alone. I won't let that little one steal you away from me." Turned out, it was Karen Joy that got jealous, not Lionel.

Larry was already a five-year- old and understood a lot of things. In the past, the two of them would always take him wherever they went. Currently, it was okay to leave him alone for one night occasionally. "Mom, don't you love me anymore?" Larry, who said he was going to find Lawrie, suddenly popped his head out with a pitiful look.

Karen Joy was very worried that her words would be misunderstood by Larry and he would be traumatized. "Little one, didn't you go to find Lawrie? Why are you still here?"

"Compared to Lawrie, I love you and Dad more. Mom and Dad, can you love me forever?" Larry ran over and hugged Karen Joy's legs tightly. "Mom and Dad, you must continue to love me."

"Larry, my baby, we will love you forever, but we occasionally need some time to ourselves." Karen Joy was going to let Larry learn this while growing up, but he also needed to know that his parents would love him all the same.

Larry stayed quiet.

It seemed to him that his mother had decided to abandon him that night.

Alright then, he thought that he would sacrifice himself for the sake of his parents' alone time. "Then, you two have to come back early. I will wait for you to come back to sleep together."

Karen Joy kissed him and said, "Okay, Baby!"

Larry said, "I want a kiss from Dad too."

Lionel picked Larry up and kissed him. "Larry, be a good boy, and go find Larrie."

Larry slipped out of his father's embrace and waved at them obediently, "See you tonight, Mom and Dad!"

Seeing that the little one had grown up a little, Karen Joy's heart softened again. "Forget it, Larry, you'd better come with us."

Leaving such an adorable and obedient boy behind would make Karen Joy feel uncomfortable, therefore dinner for two people ended up being a dinner for three.

Perhaps Larry was tired from running during the day, he fell asleep in Lionel's arms even before dinner ended. Looking at Larry sleeping like a pig, Lionel felt warm inside and asked, "Karen Joy, how did you bring me such an adorable child?"

Karen Joy rolled his eyes at him and said, "Lionel, just praise yourself openly. It's not normal of you to be so subtle."

Lionel laughed, and the smile on his face was gentle and doting. "Well, only with such good genes from his powerful and pretty parents, can he turn out to become such an adorable child."

Karen Joy said, "Lionel, you've changed."

Lionel asked, "How have I changed?" Karen Joy retorted, "You've become thick-

skinned."
