What Would I Do Without You?

"Alright, my time at night belongs to you." Since Kevin already threw her phone aside, Karen decided that she should get a good night’s rest and deal with her children’s matters the next day. Besides, children could take care of themselves. As parents, Karen and Kevin could only lead the way for them, but the children still had to walk their path themselves. Kevin held Karen firmly in his arms and said, "Sleep now." Karen's ears were right on his chest. When she listened to his heartbeat, she would always feel at peace. "Kevin, sometimes I wonder what would happen to my life if I’d not met you?" Kevin replied, "There's no such possibility." Karen said, "I'm talking about what-ifs. If I did not meet you, I don't know what would have happened to me. I would probably be dead. I can't say for sure." Kevin replied with a low voice, "Karen, don't talk nonsense." Karen smiled. "I’m not talking nonsense. I’m grateful that fate arranged for you to be by my side. I’m glad that I met you. I'm proud that I have three filial and sensible children. Because of you, I had the opportunity to experience many beautiful things in the world." Kevin caressed her head and said softly, "We still have a long road ahead of us. We can still experience lots of wonderful memories together." "Yes." Karen looked up at Kevin slightly. After so many years, he was still as good-looking and charming as when they first met. She couldn't help reaching out to touch his face. "Kevin, tell me honestly, was there any woman who tried to please you these years? And you found her unforgettable and tempted you for even a moment?" "Yes," Kevin said affirmatively. "There was?" Karen was only asking him casually, and he dared to say yes. She believed that there he had no other woman, hence, decided to ask this question. She trusted Kevin greatly at first, but when she heard him say 'Yes', she felt distressed. She blinked and gazed at him pitifully. "Tell me, who is she? Is she prettier than me, or gentler than me? Or both?" "That woman's name is Karen Daly, and she had become my wife long ago." Seeing that Karen's face had turned pale, Kevin immediately cleared the air because he didn't want her to be sad. "You're so mean! You scared me." Karen pinched him. Kevin grabbed her hand and kissed it. "You’ll be waking up early tomorrow, so go to sleep soon." "Kevin, I warn you not to scare me like this in the future." Karen glared at him. She was still feeling troubled. "I won't," Kevin acknowledged. "Good night, my dear Kevin!" Having received a satisfying reply, Karen changed into a comfortable position and lay down in Kevin's arms. She smiled and fell into a sweet dream. ...... When Jayden went to Silvia's place, he did not bring his phone along with him. By the time he returned to his residence, he saw Mia's messages on his mobile phone. After reading it, Jayden's expression darkened. He thought he went to see Silvia in secret, but it seemed like he was exposed thoroughly. Based on the messages he received, he concluded that Aunt Mia must have sent it to her group chats. It wouldn't be surprising if she sent it to all of her contacts. Mia’s messages were sent to the group chats that even Jayden was in. Probably she was over the clouds when she did it, so she must have overlooked this fact. Even the perpetrator Jayden had received those updates... Then what about Silvia? Did Mia also send a message to Silvia?! Jayden guessed it right. Mia forwarded her WhatsApp messages to her entire contact list. She didn't miss out on anyone. At the same time, Silvia was also looking at her phone and saw the WhatsApp messages sent by Mia. Silvia had the urge to pack up and leave Chatterton Town immediately, returning to Madison City. Just when she was thinking of this, Jayden called her. Silvia answered the call and said, "Jayden, look at what you'd done. I told you to meet me properly, but you didn’t want to. Why did you insist on sneaking in at midnight? Now everyone knows about it." Jayden comforted her and said, "It's getting late. Many people have already fallen asleep. There must be some people who haven't seen Aunt Mia's messages. Don't worry." Silvia retorted, "The cat is out of the bag, and it's too late to recall the messages. So what if the others don't see it now?!" Jayden answered, "I have already asked my technicians to delete the messages. I can't delete the memories of the people who have seen the messages, but people who have yet to open the messages would not see it." Silvia rubbed her head. "Since when did the app have such a magical function? Why haven't I heard of it?" Jayden said, "There are still a lot of things you don't know." Of course, if Jayden wanted to delete the messages, he wouldn’t use average means. He had his professional technicians track down both of Mia's messages and deleted them secretly. This was not a difficult task for him at all. A person's status could be determined by how far-sighted the person is. Only a few people could climb to a vantage point of power. Hence, it was always lonely at the top. Silvia said, "Don't make fun of me. There are also things that I know, but you may not know about it too." Jayden said, "Is there anything in this world that you know, but I don't? Say it!" Silvia asked, "Do you know what an enoki mushroom is?" Jayden said, "A food?" He guessed wildly, and was rather baffled by her sudden question. Silvia chuckled and said, "Not really." Jayden asked, "Then is it a tool?" Silvia said, "I can't tell you." Jayden probed, "What exactly is it?" Silvia said, "I will tell you if you admit that you don't know." Jayden replied, "I admit defeat." Silvia snickered. "You are an enoki mushroom." Jayden replied, "You're making fun of me, aren't you?!" Fortunately, Jayden was simple-minded and did not know what she meant. If he were to know about it, he would definitely be furious. Therefore, she must not let him dwell on the matter. Silvia quickly changed the topic. "I'm feeling sleepy. Your body is still not well, so get some sleep. Get well, and cooperate with the doctor for treatment. Don't think of nonsense!" Jayden said, "Yes, good night!" Silvia wished him back. "Good night!" Although both of them wished each other goodnight, neither of them hung up the call. It seemed like they were waiting for the other to hang up first, or perhaps they were reluctant to hang up, wanting to hear each other’s voices. Both of them remained quiet. After a long while, Jayden finally broke the silence. "Silvia, remember what I said to you just now." Silvia asked, "What did you say?"
