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.”

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.”
