My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 20

Recalling the things that Kevin had said to her all this time, Karen suddenly felt that it was possible that Kevin did not like women.

For the entire night and the next two days, all Karen could think of when she was free, was this the problem. When she sank deep into thought, she could not even hear her phone ring.

May walked over and knocked on her table. "Karen, your phone has rung several times. Why don't you answer it?"

Karen reacted quickly. She grabbed her phone and found that the three missed calls were all from Kevin.

She bit her lip and called back. Kevin answered the phone but did not speak. It seemed that he was waiting for her to speak first.

Karen scratched her head and said cautiously, "I was busy earlier, so I didn't hear the phone ringing. Is there anything you want to tell me?"

After a long silence on the other end of the phone, Kevin's low and sexy voice spoke, "I was just calling my wife, checking up on her, in my free time in between work."

Karen smiled silently. "Well, I see."

In actual fact, at this time, Kevin had just come back from his business trip. He wanted to tell her that he was back, but suddenly wanted to see her reaction when he surprises her, so he did not tell her.

Amelia knocked on the door and came in. "Director Kevin, Rovio Corporation Inc's headquarters in Chatterton Town will be completed next month. This will also become a new landmark in Chatterton and even in the whole of Asia. The word that you are in Chatterton has gone around. The people

who want to see you have already made appointments up to three months later. I'm afraid that you won't have much free time these days."

"When have I been idle these years?" Kevin waved his hand gesturing for Amelia Gray to leave the room. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "I was walking around and heard someone talking about 500 dollars."

Kevin usually didn't care about gossip, but he overheard Karen's name by chance, so he asked casually.

Amelia said with a smile, "Not long ago when we were organizing the company retreat, everyone was betting on whether you would join or not. Speaking of which, I have to thank Karen. She had bet that you will join. So I also bet 500 dollars on that and won hundreds in the end."

Kevin narrowed his eyes under the golden mirror, and his face darkened instantly.

It turned out that Karen had hoped him to participate in the event just for 500 dollars.

Was it possible that he, Kevin, was not as important as 500 dollars?!

Noticing his face turn dark, Amelia pretended not to see it and added, "Director Kevin, you didn't use to participate in such activities in the past. This time, you went there for Karen, right?"

Kevin glanced darkly at Amelia. "Don't you want to get off work early?"

Amelia quickly left.

Kevin's face was displeased for the whole afternoon. He did not say a word, wondering why he was not as important as just 500 dollars.

......

Karen did not know that Kevin had returned. When she went home, she only prepared a meal for one, and Momo's dog food.

While she was eating, Kevin opened the door and walked in.

When he looked over, Karen had a mouthful of rice in her mouth and a bone in her hand, feeding Momo. The vision of her with the dog was very warm and welcoming.

Kevin glanced at them coldly and said nothing.

Karen quickly swallowed her food and hurriedly explained, "I didn't know you were back, so I didn't wait for you to eat."

Kevin changed his shoes but still didn't say anything.

Karen was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say. Momo, who was next to her, suddenly jumped at Kevin and barked at him a few times.

Kevin's face grew even darker. He frowned and looked at the dog, who was trying to claim dominance in front of him.

Seeing Kevin's face, Karen felt a sense of danger. She immediately pulled Momo back into her arms and said, "Kevin, don't bother yourself arguing with her."

Faye was going to Europe to look for Sebastian Spencer. Of course, she would need to take care of Momo.

The corner of Kevin's mouth twitched again and again. It seemed that he was really angry. If he had not been brought up well, he would have thrown the puppy out.

However, he did not say anything. He went straight to the bathroom and took a bath. After entering the study, he never came out again.

Karen guessed that Kevin probably didn't like the dog, so she couldn't help but hold Momo tighter. "Momo, Uncle Kevin doesn't seem to like you. What should I do?"

Momo seemed to feel that she was unwelcome here, and whimpered.

Karen stroked her head and said, "Don't be afraid. I won't leave you alone. Tomorrow, I'll take you to Aunt Faye's house. I'll stay there until she comes back."

With a few whines, Momo's round head rubbed Karen's face twice, like a sensible child who understood.

Looking at Momo, Karen felt distressed. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Momo had been taken in by Karen three years ago when she first came to Chatterton Town. At that time, Momo had been seriously injured and had almost died. Karen found her and sent her to the animal hospital in time to save her life.

Later, she kept Momo by her side and since then, it has been three years. Her feelings for this little pet were like how she would feel towards her own child.

Before Kevin, Karen had been on countless dates, and she brought Momo along every time. However, she didn't bring Momo on the blind date with Kevin, but she had married Kevin instead.

If she had known that he couldn't accept Momo, perhaps she wouldn't have agreed to marry him.

However, now that the marriage had become a fact, she couldn't separate from Kevin just for a dog.

After thinking for a while, Karen picked up her mobile phone and sent a message to Kevin, "Kevin, I didn't discuss with you before I came back with Momo. I'm sorry! However, don't worry, I won't bring Momo back again in the future."

After reading these words several times, Karen felt that there should be no problem and clicked send. However, the sent message was like a stone thrown into the sea, and Kevin did not pay attention to it at all.

Karen made another bowl of fried meat noodles for him and sent it over to him. She wanted to have a good talk with him, but he did not even look up at her.

She swallowed all the words she wanted to say, smiled awkwardly, and left.

Although there was no basis of love for their marriage, she had agreed to marry him because she wanted to live a better life. She didn't want to end this marriage just because of Momo.

After a whole night of bad sleep, Karen got up early the next morning. She planned to send Momo back to Faye's place early in the morning, and then she would go look after Momo after work.

When she came to the kitchen with Momo in her arms, Kevin was already sitting there. He looked up at her and ask her to sit down.

Karen sat across from him. After a while, he said in a deep voice, "Karen, do you like the money?"

Karen did not understand why he suddenly asked this. She blinked her eyes and nodded honestly. "Of course, I like money."

Kevin took out a platinum credit card and handed it to her. "This card has no limit. You can use it."

Suddenly realizing something, she hugged Momo tighter and said, "Don't even think about it. No matter how much money you have, I won't sell Momo."
