My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 69

Karen cried, her tears dropped on her fair skin which reminded Kevin of what he did.

She looked at him with her teary eyes which were crystal clear enough to reflect his actions after he lost control.

Kevin was stunned for a moment. Was the man who lost control in front of Karen really him?

How could I... lose control like that?

Kevin couldn't understand.

He didn't know why he became like that.

Kevin sighed deeply, then gently approached Karen and carefully kissed away the tears that were on her face.

Her tears were bitter, very bitter. The bitterness filled Kevin's heart, and his emotions turned to guilt that he had never felt before.

"I'm sorry," he said.

After saying that, Kevin turned around and left in a hurry.

The door slammed shut behind Kevin, which blocked Karen's vision and she could no longer see Kevin.

She lowered her head and looked at her torn dress. She felt so sad that her tears rolled down her cheeks again.

She took a deep breath and forced her tears back into her eyes. She stopped herself from crying.

She leaned against the door, and she held her face with her hands. Then, she took a deep breath.

Kevin came into her life suddenly when she was not ready at all.

As time passed, she began to care for him. She cared about how she was in his eye and whether or not he knew her past.

Now, she didn't even have the courage to tell him about what happened in the Midwest. She could not dare to imagine how he would think of her after he knew what happened. Will he misunderstand her and think less of her just like the rest?

Karen was feeling very insecure, so she didn't dare to mention anything to Kevin, because she didn't want him to know that she came from a family that was so terrible.

She even worried that if he knew the truth, he would probably break up with her.

Buzz...

Suddenly, the mobile phone vibrated and buzzed on the coffee table, which startled Karen.

She dragged her skirt and picked up her phone. A strange number appeared on the screen, which was not in her contact list.

But Karen still recognized this number. How could she not remember this mobile phone number which belonged to someone who used to be so close to her?

The phone was still ringing, but Karen's fingers were frozen, and she did not move her fingers. She was having a hard time deciding if she should answer it or not.

After thinking for a while, Karen decided to listen to what the person has to say.

At last, Karen slid her fingers through her phone screen and answered the phone.

After she picked up the call, no one said anything. It was so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing through the phone.

After some time, Kristine spoke first.

"Karen, are you free tomorrow? Let's meet up."

Kristine's gentle voice passed through the phone into Karen's ear, which was still as charming as ever.

Karen still remembered that Faye used to describe Kristine's voice, "It was made to seduce men on the phone. No wonder Charlie was seduced by her so quickly."

"Karen..."

Karen did not respond, the person on the other side of the phone tried to call for her again.

Three years ago, when Karen knew that Kristine plotted the incident of her being attacked by cyberbullies, she promised herself that she could not keep her in her life anymore. Kristine was already dead to her.

Now, after she received a call from Kristine three years later, the resentment, hatred, and all kinds of emotions in her heart had slowly faded away.

There was no need to punish herself for something someone else did.

Karen thought to herself.

"Karen, I want to talk to you about mother."

When Karen heard Kristine mentioning their mother, she remembered that their mother was sick, but she did not ask about her for the past three years. Compared to the things that her mother did to

her as she had no choice, her sister was crueler.

"Tell me about the time and place."

In the end, Karen compromised. She needed to know how her mother was doing.

"I've heard there was a restaurant that serves local cuisine at Peace Road in North Hill City. Let's meet at noon tomorrow, OK?"

Tomorrow is Saturday, Karen didn't have to work. Since she was free, she agreed to meet Kristine.

After hanging up the phone, Karen stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror. The strap of her gown had been torn by Kevin, which exposed her fair skin.

If someone saw her like this, they would gossip about it, she could not go out like this.

There were no extra clothes to change. Karen had to find a way to cover it up so no one will be able to see it.

She was a fashion designer. She used to cut and sew clothes when she was doing fashion design. She was very experienced in changing the design of clothes. She would look fine after she modified her gown.

She quickly came up with an idea.

She tied the shawl into a bow tie and tied it together with the shoulder strap so that both the broken shoulder strap and the hickey that Kevin left on her neck were covered.

"Nice!"

After looking at her modified dress, Karen was very satisfied.

After feeling reassured, she opened the door and went out.

However, she never expected that Kevin, who should have been gone a long time ago, was just standing right at the door. The moment she opened the door, she found Kevin was standing there.

The two of them looked at each other and no one said anything. They did not know what to say. The situation was very awkward.

Finally, Karen said, "Erm, I want to go back first."

She lowered her head, and she didn't look at him. She couldn't tell what kind of strange repulsive feeling she was feeling in her heart.

"Alright." He answered softly. He reached out his hand to grab her hand, and they were ready to leave. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

She wanted to pull away, but she didn't.

She is his wife, isn't she? She will just assume what happened just now was just him using his rights on her as her husband.

When Karen was still justifying Kevin's actions earlier, Kevin had already led her into the car.

The driver, Mr. Watson glanced at the two people who were sitting in the back seat in silence from the rearview mirror, and asked cautiously, "Where do you want to go, young master?"

"Home." Kevin spat out the word softly, then he closed his eyes and leaned on the seat of the car.

He pretended to be calm, but his heart was feeling very complicated.

Kevin didn't know what happened to him. He used to be someone who had a strong sense of self- control, he still could not believe that he lost control in front of Karen.

He had almost become one of those people who hurt Karen.

If not for her tears, he might have already done things that he would regret.

Fortunately, nothing happened. He did not do anything that could hurt her, both of them were still on good terms.
