"Actions speak louder than words, babe."
Karen was about to pinch Jeffrey again but her hand was suddenly caught in his firm grip.
"You don't just go grabbing a man's belt without permission."
His voice was a deep, husky whisper that made Karen freeze in surprise.
Jeffrey leaned in close, his breath tickling the fine hairs on her earlobe, "And you can only touch mine."
...
Dorothy was utterly shocked. When they had left Swevia Country, Karen and Jeffrey were at each other like cats and dogs. But as they returned to Eldorria City from Snowfall City, the two were hand in hand at the airport.
"Wow! Aunt Karen, you're not smacking Mr. Turner anymore?" Langston blurted out with a surprised look plastered all over his little face.
He vividly remembered the sound of Karen's slap on Jeffrey’s face during their last dinner together – it echoed!
Such an embarrassing moment being aired like dirty laundry, Jeffrey felt a tad awkward. Hastily, he scooped up Langston and covered his mouth, "What do you know, kiddo? That's how Aunt Karen shows love! Haven't you heard? 'A smack means love, a scold means affection!' The harder the smack, the deeper the love!"
"So, my dad not spanking my mom means he doesn't love her?"
Smile on Jeffrey’s face disappeared in an instant.
Karen was exasperated and pushed him away, "Don't fill the kid's head with nonsense!"
Everett, cradling Abigail, glanced over at the two and softly pulled Dorothy closer, "No need to worry. Jeffrey's serious this time."
"Let's hope so."

Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
I really hope this Perdita person is not a new villain....
I too echoed the sentiments of pppplllleeeaaaassssseeeeee bring this drama to an end. I beg of you!...
Really please finish this book and upload the full story so it can end. It's been drugout for so long!...
The intimate scenes in this story or uncomfortable to read. They either come off as being forced, painful, or simply not enjoyable....
Okay I left a long while ago and came back. Looks like it's been updated but still not done lol. I'll maybe wait 6 months before coming back and it'll probably still be going on. It's like a soap opera instead of a novel...
Kenneth is confirming something I've been thinking about him for several hundred chapters ago and that is he is a future murder suicide perpetrator. And after reading chapter 1275 yeah it's just brought the thought back....
How could Jeffrey throw the knife down at the scene of the crime with both their fingerprints on there?...
Again no update, so is this where it ends? Or post the whole book. Your dragging this out...
