Chapter 1623


    Larry and Lawrie dashed over, eager to sit beside Marilyn. Marilyn was ttered as the two little


    boys showered her with praises. They even called her a gorgeousdy!


    Karen Joy pretended to be hurt and said sullenly, "Larry, Aunt Marie is a gorgeousdy to you, but


    what about me?"


    Larry giggled and replied, "Aunt Marie is single while you have my dad. He will protect you. I will


    protect Aunt Marie in the meantime."


    Marilyn was amused. She eximed, "Wow, Larry and Lawrie are two little gentlemen! I like you


    guys very much. I will stay in Chatterton Town for some time. How about you guys be my tour


    guides these few days and show me around? What do you say?"


    Lawrie held her arm and gave her a peck on the cheek. He seemed to admire Marilyn a lot. "I like


    Aunt Marie very much. You are so beautiful. I will be your tour guide."


    Vanessa was a little jealous and said sourly, "Lawrie, you can''t even find your way home but you


    want to be a tour guide for Aunt Marie. What are you scheming?"


    Goodness! Was Lawrie even her son?!


    Why did she feel that he had changed a lot? He seemed to be apletely different little boy!


    However, Vanessa was satisfied with his change. It was a blessing by God! He was able to


    ovee his trauma within a short time thanks to the love he received from the Kyle family. Their


    love gave him a sense of security and he no longer felt lonely.


    After dinner, Karen Joy and Julien brought Marilyn to her residence in Secret Garden. Karen Joy


    was concerned about her and stayed behind. She asked tentatively, "Marie, tell me what happened.


    Why the sudden breakup? The news really came as a shock. We did not hear anything about it, and


    we''re rather in disbelief."


    "Karen Joy, my rtionship with him is over. No matter why we broke up, I do not wish to talk about


    him again. Please don''t pester me anymore." Some people were just passers-by in life and were of


    no importance. If it was destined, then so be it. She would no longer shed tears for him...


    Even though she was still anguished and smoldered with resentment, she would not show it.


    Karen Joy did not like to meddle in other people''s personal life. However, Marilyn was her cousin.


    Marilyn''s mother died during childbirth and George was a rather hands-off father. If she didn''t care


    for her, who would? "Marie, you''re a psychologist. You know better than anyone else that keeping


    your thoughts to yourself would only lead to misery. Why don''t you tell me what''s eating you?"


    "Karen Joy, I know that you are concerned about me, but I do not wish to mention his name."


    Marilyn would feel nauseous whenever she thought of him. She was a fool in the past and fell for


    his ttery without realizing it was a trap."


    Seeing that Marilyn was reluctant to talk about it, Karen Joy did not press her further on the issue.


    She patted her shoulder gently and said, "Don''t think about him anymore. Since you havee to


    Chatterton Town, this will be your new home. You can stay here for the time being. Feel free to stay


    as long as you want. Set yourself free, don''t worry about work."


    "Who says I''m not going to work?" Marilyn said cheekily, a twinkle in her eyes. "Today, after I got off


    the ne, Julien asked me to lend a hand in counseling Young Master Brown. Karen Joy, you know


    about my job. I charged my clients by the minute. I''ve talked to Levi for 30 minutes. That''s going to


    cost a few thousand dors." "Haha, you are just like your father." Karen Joy chuckled as she poked


    her forehead gently. "Marie, you are a well-known psychologist. Of course you charge higher prices


    for your services. Since the other party is Young Master Brown, you should double the price."


    Marilyn was amused and cracked up. "Karen Joy, Young Master Brown is also your cousin, isn''t he?


    Aren''t you afraid that I will get the wrong idea? You are biased."


    Karen Joy shrugged her shoulders and said with an air of confidence, "Well, this is me. If you have


    any opinions, just tell me. I don''t mind, nor do I care."


    "Karen Joy, I won''t tease you anymore. Go back to your room and have a rest. If you linger any


    longer, Lionel would definitely bear a grudge against me."


    "Well, all right. You should go to bed early as well."


    Marilyn was left alone once again. She felt a hollow pit feeling in the stomach as if she was plunged


    into an inner abyss. She knew why she felt lonely, but what was the use of it?


    Marilyn was very envious of Karen Joy and Vanessa. Their husbands love them so much and


    adored them from the bottom of their hearts. Unlike her...she thought she had found true love early


    in life but it was just a joke.


    Fortunately, she discovered the truth in time and cut ties with him. Or else, she might be blinded


    from the truth for the rest of her life.


    After leaving Marilyn''s room, Karen Joy did not return to her room immediately. Instead, she found


    Julien and inquired, "Julien, do you have any impression of Pord?"


    Julien replied, "I''ve met him once."


    Karen Joy continued, "What do you think of him?"


    Julien responded, "Karen Joy, it''s not good to talk about people behind their backs."


    Karen Joy red at him. "I didn''t ask you to say anything bad about him. I just want you to tell me


    whether he seemed the type that would cheat on his wife?"


    Julien raised his voice. "He cheated on Marilyn? That''s why they broke up? That scoundrel! I''ll


    teach him a lesson. How dare he hurt Marilyn?! He is definitely courting death."


    Karen Joy was a little speechless. "Julien, calm down. Where''s your usualposed demeanor? I


    barely recognized you just now."


    Julien retorted angrily, "How can I cool down? How dare the scum hurt Marilyn. She''s my cousin."


    George was Karen''s only brother and hence, he was Julien''s only maternal uncle. George loved to


    travel around the world and only came back once every few years. They rarely met and only knew


    he had a daughter after a few years.


    George started to settle down once Marilyn was born. The two families eventually started to interact


    more. However, since they resided in different countries, they only got to meet once or twice a year.

    Although they hadn''t seen each other for a long time, their bond was still strong. They were


    exceptionally concerned about Marilyn who had lost her mother since she was born.


    Karen Joy tried to calm him down. "I''m asking what''s your opinion on him? I didn''t expect you to


    blow a fuse. We are not sure why they broke up yet. Let''s not jump to conclusions and analyze the


    situation rationally, okay?"
