48. Twins’ Birthday Party
Emily smiled. “Thank you, Mr. Wilson.”
“Is Emily the only one who gets it?” Louis asked with slightly furrowed eyebrows.
“Don’t worry, Louis. Mister Wilson couldn’t possibly forget you. Look! There are two boxes
in here.”
Emily handed Louis the bag she had opened. The little boy immediately peeked. Finding
two boxes decorated with crown stickers, he chuckled. “Thank you, Mr. Wilson.”
“That is special edition perfume from my company. I hope you like it,” Ben explained,
glancing at Kara and Frank who were standing near the twins. It was clear that the two
people were alert.
“Is it safe for children?” Emily asked, catching Ben’s attention again.
The man nodded quickly. “Yes, of course it’s safe. It’s a special perfume for kids. You can
wear it to important events that you will often attend.”
“This is an important event. Can we wear it?” Louis asked
vehemently. His eyes alternately focused on his mother and father.
“Yes, Little Bee.”
“Woohoo!”
While the two toddlers were busy unpacking their gifts, Ben stood up.” Hello, Mrs. Bell,
Frank, and….”
When he faced Kara, the curve of his lips turned awkward. “Hi, how are you, Miss Martin?”
Kara glanced to the side. Frank rubbed her back. “It’s okay,” he

After a faint sigh, Kara looked back at her guest. “Fine.”
“Good,” Ben nodded, twitching his eyebrows. “So, how are you, Frank?”
“It’s never been this good. As you can see. I’m already with my future wife and children,”
Frank answered lightly. He sounded like the old, arrogant version of himself.
Ben pursed his bottom lip, almost snorting. “I know. It was obvious. Tsk, I shouldn’t have
asked.”

Unexpectedly, Frank let out a small laugh. “Nice to see you, Ben.”
Ben gasped with round eyes. After a few blinks, he raised his eyebrows to the maximum.
“Did I hear it right? It’s nice for you to see me?”
While Kara glanced at him questioningly, Frank nodded. “I’m serious. I’m glad you don’t
neglect our invitation. That means there are no grudges between us, right?”
After being stunned for a moment, Ben laughed too. His finger swung at Kara. “You are
indeed an extraordinary woman, Miss Martin. You can turn the arrogant and stubborn
Frank Harper into this gentle.”
“I’m not gentle, but more humane,” Frank said as he pulled Kara’s waist closer. “But
you’re right. It was indeed this extraordinary woman who changed me. I’m very lucky,
right?”
Kara blinked as Frank kissed her cheek. Her hand rose, pressed
against his chest. “Don’t praise me too much, Frank. Then the guests will get nauseous.”
“Don’t worry, Miss Martin. We understand. This is the first time Frank Harper has been
madly in love.”
Suddenly, Louis and Emily giggled.
“I agree. Daddy is crazy about Mommy,” Louis admitted.

“Yes, Daddy treats Mommy as his queen,” Emily continued as she put the perfume bottle
back into the bag. “How is it, Mommy? Do Louis and I smell good yet?” She spun around
so that her little dress
billowed out.
“You smell so good, Little Bee.” Kara stroked Emily’s cheek when she had stopped
spinning.
“Then, let’s greet the other guests, Louis. Mister Wilson, please enjoy the meal that has
been provided,” Emily said, like an adult.
Ben laughed at that. “Okay. Thank you, Princess.” Then, he walked away chatting with
Vivian.
“This really is a perfect party. Everyone we know in this town came. They even gave us
special gifts,” Emily said before putting on a sweet – smile.
“Yes, you’re right. But….” Louis looked up with an annoyed
expression, “Great Grandpa hasn’t been seen yet. I’m afraid he doesn’t want to come.”
Understanding her brother’s feeling, Emily’s face also got dimmer. Kara and Frank were
confused. Those two toddlers had been having fun all day. How could their mood change
so drastically in a split second?
“Little Angel, why are you sad?” Kara stroked her children’s cheeks.
“We will blow out the candle soon, but Great Grandpa isn’t here yet. Is he still angry with
us? He hasn’t changed his mind?” Louis expressed his concern.
Emily pouted too. Before the two toddlers cried, Kara quickly rubbed their shoulders.

“Little Bee, you shouldn’t be sad. Look! There are many guests who love you. It’s not fair if
you think about one person who is not present, while they all hope for your happiness
here.”
“I know,” Louis said quietly. “I’ve also tried to enjoy the party. But, for some reason, I often
looked towards the door. I hope Great Grandpa is there. Every time I find out that he
hasn’t come, it feels like there’s something stuck in here.” Louis pointed at his own chest.
Kara was moved to rub it.
However, just as she was about to speak up, the guests looked at the door in unison. They
all said the same voice, “He’s coming.”
The twins turned around and sighed in disbelief. “Great Grandpa?”
In a sudden, their sadness disappeared. With joyful laughter, they ran over to the old man.
“I know Great Grandpa will come! Great Grandpa couldn’t possibly make us sad. Great
Grandpa loves us as much as we love him,” Louis said with bright face.

When they arrived in front of Rowan, they immediately hugged his legs. “Thank you for
coming, Great Grandpa! We’re so happy! You are finally willing to change and accept us.”
Emily looked up, giving her best smile. She looked very cute with her eyes reflecting
golden light.
However, Rowan seemed unaffected. He just raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips
slightly. “I didn’t bring any gift,” he said flatly.
“It doesn’t matter. Your presence alone is very special,” Emily said as she grabbed
Rowan’s finger. “Come with us to blow out the candles, Great Grandpa.”

“Yeah,” Louis also pulled Rowan, even if only with one hand. “Since Great Grandpa is
already here, we don’t have to wait any longer. Let’s blow out the candles and cut the
cake now!”
The twins’ enthusiasm was so fiery. They were unaware that the guests and their parents
were secretly holding their breaths. Rowan’s reaction was too stiff. He didn’t look like a
great-grandfather who was having fun celebrating his great-grandson’s birthday.
“Louis, Emily,” Kara called softly. As best she could, she curled up her lips. “Great Grandpa
still needs lots of rest. He will get tired if he sings and blows out the candles too. How
about Mommy and Daddy accompany you while Great Grandpa takes a rest?”
The two toddlers blinked with their mouths rounded.
“Mommy is right. Great Grandpa’s heart must be treated well. Then come here, Great
Grandpa. Just sit here. Watch how we blow out the candles.” Emily guided Rowan to the
nearest chair. Louis also accompanied him, making sure his great grandfather’s footsteps
were steady.
Rowan didn’t fight back. He sat in a chair without expression or sound. After the twins
went towards the cakes with Frank and Kara, he turned to his assistant. “Sean.”
“Yes, Sir?”
“It’s too crowded here. Find a more spacious place,” he whispered.
After one nod, Sean entered the mansion. Jeremy quietly observed. Through his tablet
connected to CCTV, he monitored Sean’s movements. Strangely, the fierce man just
walked around. He didn’t do anything other than look around at every door.
“What are they planning?” Jeremy muttered.
