Chapter 192

S21 22. Naughty Karal

Kara swallowed hard. Before Frank’s suspicions could grow, she let out a laugh. “Oh, about that…. I just feel sorry for Mom. Her garden was attacked by a rat. The plants all died.”

Frank gasped. “All plants? Including the gifts from the children and us?”

Seeing Kara’s nod, Frank’s expression became a little dimmer. “Too bad. The flower only blooms once, and its time is coming soon. Louis and Emily will definitely cry if they find out.”

“They won’t know. I’ve ordered a new one. Tomorrow, the plant will come with the others. We ordered a truck.”

Frank smiled at Kara’s small laugh. Lowering his gaze, he continued to brush her hair.

“Why didn’t you tell me that the plants were affected by a rat? Mom was still gardening happily yesterday. If only we had known sooner, we could have called an expert to handle the problem.”

The curve of Kara’s lips suddenly shrank. Before Frank found it, s faked a smile again. “You know Mom. She doesn’t like bothering other people.”

“We’re not other people, Kara. We are her family. Mom has to learn to rely on us.”

Kara fell silent. Then, with teary eyes, she looked up at her husband. ”

Frank….”

Frank moved his stomach forward, letting his wife lean against it. What?” he whispered softly.

Kara smiled faintly. Stroking the hand perched on her shoulder, she

said, “I’m so lucky. My husband is the best man in the world.”

Frank leaned down, giving Kara a kiss on the forehead. “A perfect wife must have the best husband.”

The curve of Kara’s lips turned sour. Guilt weighed on her heart. “I’m not perfect, Frank.”

“I never see your flaws.” Frank pursed his lips in protest.

“That’s because we are newlyweds. In five years or ten years, your thinking will definitely change. You can judge me more objectively after your love for me fades.”

Frank shook his head quickly. “I plan to love you for the rest of my life, Kara Harper. Five or ten years are too short to consider you perfect. I want forever.”

Kara stared at Frank silently. Those words were too beautiful. She was afraid of ruining it, even with a sigh.

Suddenly, Frank narrowed his eyes. His expression now resembled Louis criticizing something. “You do too, right? Don’t tell me you’ll stop being crazy about me after five years.”

Kara’s laugh was light in air. “You are very confident. Have I ever bee crazy in front of you?”

“You did it without realizing it.” Frank smiled.

“When?”

Suddenly, the hand on Kara’s shoulder slid down, slipping under her nightgown. “Every time I do this.”

Kara spontaneously bit her lip. “Frank?” she whispered with flushed cheeks.

“Why? The kids are asleep. We are free now.” Frank put the hairbrush down so he could use both hands.

Kara straightened her head. Leaning on her husband’s arm, she closed her eyes. Frank’s heart tingled when he saw her reflection in

the mirror.

“By the way, have you decided what gift you’re going to buy for your mother?”

Kara spontaneously opened her eyes. “You remember Mom’s birthday?”

Frank nodded proudly. “Of course, this Saturday. You guys don’t plan on having a party?”

Kara shook her head faintly. “Mom doesn’t like parties. Let’s just invite Jeremy and his mother for feast. Is that possible?” She looked up again.

Frank’s lips pursed. “I don’t think there’s a problem with Jeremy, but I’m a little doubtful about Vivian Bell. Let me think about it carefully later, about how to bring them together with my mother without causing a riot. I don’t want your mother’s birthday to be ruined.”

“Thanks, Frank.”

Frank kissed Kara’s cheek. “You’re welcome, Queen Bee. Now, what we need to discuss is the gift. What should we buy?”

Kara’s blinking turned slow. While observing her husband’s

movements in the mirror, she thought hard.

“Frank, how about each of us gives Mom a gift? So, Mom has more

mementos.”

“So, next time, the pest attack won’t wipe them out so easily?” Frank joked.

Kara smiled faintly. “Yes. Do you agree?”

Frank nodded. “Yeah, that would be fun. We can ask Mom to

comment on the gift she got. Whoever touches Mom’s heart the most will get a prize from me.”

“I think the twins will think more than five hours this time,” Kara

sighed in amusement.

“Yes. They will definitely prepare the best gift.” Frank chuckled too. When his laughter stopped, he started tickling Kara’s ears with his breaths. “Now, how about we prepare an additional gift for Mom?”

“Additional gift?” Kara glanced to the side while holding back a smile.

“Should I say it plainly?”

Suddenly, Kara shrieked. Her feet no longer touched the floor. Frank had picked her up and carried her to the bed.

“Let’s give your mother another twin grandchildren!”

“Twin?” Kara widened her eyes.

“Yeah, the kids told me they want twins. I have promised them to work hard to make it happen.”

Kara snorted in amusement. “You promised as if you were the o who would be pregnant and giving birth.”

“Don’t worry. I will accompany you through everything.” Frank put wife on the bed. “You ready?”

Kara bit her lip, holding her cheeks from blushing even further. “Car you just get started? If you ask, I’ll be nervous. My heart could go

crazy.”

Frank laughed faintly. “My heart always pounds hard every time I’m around you.” He crawled, looking for the right position.

“You’re really crazy about me, hmm?” Kara’s feet started to get naughty.

Frank burst into laughter. He could feel his blood pumping with enthusiasm. However, just when he was about to express it, someone knocked on their bedroom door.

“Son, sorry to bother you. Can we talk for a moment? I can’t sleep without telling you this.”

Frank dropped his face on Kara’s shoulder. His soaring enthusiasm had now dived towards ground.

“Why does it have to be at this time?” he groaned like a child.

Kara took a deep breath. She was secretly worried about what Melanie wanted to say. Even so, she still smiled and patted her husband’s arm. “Get up, Frank. We can continue later. Now go see. your mother.”

Frank snickered. After kissing Kara’s cheek repeatedly, he got up.

Wait! I won’t be long.”

After Kara nodded, Frank went to open the door and poked his head out. “What’s wrong, Mom?”

Melanie immediately put on a pitiful look and massaged her own shoulder. “You know, I take care of Barbara all day. It seems like I exhausted. My body is all sore.”

Frank’s lips pursed. He thought Melanie would say something mud more important. “So?”

Smiling, Melanie showed her phone. “I found a massage chair on this shopping site. The quality is good and the quantity is limited. I really want to buy it, but… you know my financial condition. I actually want to tell you about it tomorrow, but I’m afraid it’s running out.”
