My Husband Warm The Bed (Karen Daly) novel Chapter 1489

Just as Vanessa was distracted, the crowd had already started to disperse.

Julien walked to her side and gently held her thin and frail body in his arms as he said, "Vanessa, let's get married."

Julien wanted to support her and protect her from being harmed by anyone.

This time, Julien had said it so directly and sincerely.

Such simple words, yet they had struck the deepest nerve in Vanessa's heart.

She bit her lip and tried to keep her tears at bay. "Do you know what you're talking about? Do you know how fatal these words are? So many women in the world want to marry you, don't you know that..."

Vanessa desperately wanted to say yes, but was afraid that Julien would learn about her past. She was afraid that he would look down on her if he had known.

Julien replied indifferently, "True, but the only woman I want to marry is you, Vanessa Love!"

Julien had given each other time to think things over during the past few days he had not come to see Vanessa. The truth was he could not live without Vanessa. Not hearing from Vanessa made him feel uneasy and not like himself.

He could only work hard knowing that she was doing fine.

It was impossible for him to leave her in this life. Thus, he made a decision. No matter who the child belonged to, he would welcome him and accept in with open arms, treating Lawrie as his own.

Vanessa violently shook her head in Julien's arms and said, "Don't be silly, Julien. You d-don't know anything. Stop being so nice to me, okay? I don't want you to be good to me! Leave, Julien. And don't come to see me again. Stop helping me. Just like we don't know each other, okay?"

Julien placed his hands on Vanessa's shoulder and made her look at him. With a serious stone, he told her, "I've already thought of a proper name for Lawrie- he'll be called Lovell Kyle. It's a combination of our names, so he'll be our child. End of story."

Vanessa's body froze upon hearing that. She wanted to speak but could not form the words. She could only stare wide- eyed at Julien, as if she was meeting a stranger for the very first time. Some moments had passed before she found her voice. "Julien, have you gone insane?!"

He must be crazy!

Otherwise, there would not be a man who was as stupid as him.

Julien smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, I'm insane. I've been mad since the first time I saw you years ago. I wondered at the time, how I could be so strongly and deeply attracted to someone."

When his eyes first landed on Vanessa, a huge ripple coursed right in Julien's heart. When she came to him later, he treated her indifferently. But at the end of the day, it was not that he did not want to talk to her, he just did not know how to interact with the girl he liked.

Vanessa slowly raised her head and looked into his deep, resolute eyes. She believed that every word he said to her came from the bottom of his heart. However, the problem was never with him. It had always been her.

She was the one who was afraid and was trying to run away.

After thinking it through, Vanessa dialed Joey's number. Joey answered, "Congratulations, Vanessa. You did much better than I expected."

Vanessa was confused, "What do you mean?"

Joey explained, "I estimated that I'd have to wait at least half a year for you to call me. So, I didn't expect you to call me so soon. This is great, Vanessa. You've taken the first step. I'm so proud of you."

During their last conversation, Vanessa had already gotten defensive at the outset of some questions asked. It would normally take at least half a year for people to open up. Seeing that Vanessa had called her so soon made Joey view Vanessa in a different light.

Vanessa felt like Joey had seen right through her again. She hurriedly switched the topic, "Joey, it is Lawrie who needs to see a psychiatrist, not me."

Joey replied, "I know. I'll come and see you right away."

In Joey's opinion, Vanessa's problems were much more serious than Lawrie's. As soon as they are solved, Lawrie's problems would be resolved as well. Essentially, all Lawrie needed was to be raised in a family filled with love and warmth to grow up healthily.

Vanessa finally made up her mind to tell Joey everything that had happened in the past. While waiting for Joey, Vanessa felt as uncomfortable as sitting on pins and needles. She was worried that Joey would despise her after finding out about the truth.

Vanessa's anxiety made her palms sweat up a puddle and she was so deep in her sea of worry that she did even hear Joey knocking on the door. Joey stood in front of her and gently greeted Vanessa, "What's on your mind, Vanessa?"

"It... It's nothing," Vanessa forced peace into her nerves and smiled. "You came so quick, Joey."
