49. Special Cake for Rowan
Jeremy caught a signal from Frank’s gaze. Feeling that the situation was still under control,
he nodded faintly.
Meanwhile, the candles were already lit. The guests sang for the twins while occasionally
glancing at Rowan. Frank and Kara were doing the same. Although they were suspicious
and feeling threatened, they applauded as if there was no problem.
Thinking their party was going as intended, the twins smiled ear to ear. They were too
innocent to recognize the danger. They even didn’t realize that Rowan had silently
disappeared.
“The first cake is for Mommy. Thank you for giving birth and raising us, Mommy!”
Kara smiled and stroked the twins’ heads. After kissing their cheeks one by one, she
accepted the cake. “Thank you, Little Bees.”
“You’re welcome, Mommy.”
After giggling, the twins took another plate. Together, they gave it t Frank. “The second
piece is for Daddy. Thank you for coming back with us, Daddy.”
Frank sighed proudly. He showered the twins with kisses. Amused laughter escaped them,
spreading the warmth. After that, Frank received the piece of cake as if it were a jewel.
“Thank you, Kids.”
“You’re welcome, Daddy!”
Then, the toddlers turned to Susan. Their faces were still bright when
they gave the cake to her. However, as they were about to bring the
cake to Rowan, their eyebrows rose.
“Where’s Great Grandpa?”

Everyone turned to one point. The chair that Rowan had been sitting on was empty.
“The Great Master is inside. He said that the air outside was too cold for him,” a guest
exclaimed.
Frank and Kara looked at each other. Their feelings were the same, possessed by
unpleasant premonition.

“Shall we go in?” Kara whispered.

Before Frank had time to answer, Emily had already walked over to bring the piece of cake
for Rowan. Louis walked behind her with a spoon in his hand.
“Everyone, please enjoy the meal! We’ll be back after we deliver the cake to Great
Grandpa,” Louis exclaimed with sparkling eyes.
Frank sighed heavily. He glanced at Jeremy. His assistant just -shrugged his shoulders.
Together with Kara, Frank finally caught up
with the twins.
“Great Grandpa… Great Grandpa…!”
Louis and Emily’s voices echoed. With small steps, they explored the mansion until they
entered the east veranda. Rowan was sitting in one of the chairs looking at the night sky.
“Great Grandpa!”
Emily quickened her pace, but not much, afraid of dropping the cake. Louis also walked
carefully. He seemed ready to catch the plate in case Emily tripped over her own feet.
When they arrived in front of Rowan, they both smiled warmly.
“We’ve finished blowing out the candles and cutting the cake. We gave the first piece to
Mommy. The second piece is for Daddy.”
“The third piece is for Grandma. But when we wanted to share the

Rowan’s eyebrows rose. “You want to give me the cake?”
Kara secretly clenched her fists at that cold tone. Frank even shut his mouth tightly.
However, the twins didn’t think it was a problem at all.
“Yes! Birthday cake should be distributed to special people first. Since you are our great-
grandfather, you get it too!” Louis exclaimed, vehemently.
“Take it, Great Grandpa. This is special for you.” Emily handed the plate in her hand with a
very sweet smile. Meanwhile, Louis offered the spoon.
For a few seconds, Rowan stared at the cake. His unfocused eyes implied something. After
one deep breath, he muttered, “I don’t like
sweets.”
“But this is our birthday cake, Great Grandpa. This is a sign of our love for you because
you are special to us.” Louis pushed the spoon closer.
Rowan snorted. His eyes narrowed slightly. “Why do you guys think I’m special?”
“Because you’re our great-grandfather, and we are family,” Emily
answered in a sweet voice. “Come on, Grandpa. Eat it! The tip of a spoon is fine too.”
Kara and Frank started to move restlessly. Rowan’s refusal was too obvious. However, just
as they were about to pull the twins back, the old man took the spoon from Louis’ hand.
The twins spontaneously stifled a laugh. Their toes wiggled in their shoes, excited.
“Is that so? I am special because we are family?” Rowan brought the spoon closer to the
plate.

“Yeah! You are the best great grandfather in the world. And you know what, Great
Grandpa? Mrs. Bell gave us vouchers for free shopping at a toy shop. We can go there
together later.”
Rowan let out a dry laugh. Then slowly, he moved the cake to the edge of the plate until
finally… it fell on the floor!
“It’s a shame, I don’t consider you family. Even though Harper’s blood flows in your body,
you prefer your mother. I … don’t like…
disobedient kids. You are not worthy to be part of my family, let alone the Savior’s
successor.”
Frank and Kara were stunned. It’s hard to believe that Rowan would have the heart to say
something as rude as that to the twins, his own great-grandchildren.
Meanwhile, Louis and Emily had been pouting. Beneath their furrowed brows,
disappointment began to well up.

Instead of pity, Rowan laughed contemptuously. “If you really love me, you can’t possibly
keep your mother. You should choose me.”
“Enough, Grandpa. You are already too much.” Frank pulled the twins to Kara’s side. While
she calmed them down, he clenched his fists and came forward to face Rowan. “How long
are you going to be like this, Grandpa? You can’t always force his will. You can’t pressure
me to live up to your misleading standards of perfection.”
“Misleading?” Rowan’s expression also hardened. “I lead you to a better future, but you
call me misleading?”
Suddenly, Rowan pointed his finger towards Kara. “You don’t realize. who she is? Kara
Martin. Has anything great been reported about her? Is there any big news about her
family?”
+25 BONUS
After lowering his hand, Rowan shook his head. “Nothing. She was completely unknown to
the world. Because of what? Because she doesn’t have the ability. She has nothing to be
proud of.”
“She is the mother of my children.”
“What’s so great about that?” Rowan interrupted, raising his chin. “If that’s the only
reason, all women in this world can do it too. You can ask one girl to spend the night with
you then she will have the same reason. What’s so special?”
Frank took a quick breath and gritted his teeth. Shaking his head, he muttered in
resignation, “There’s no point in me talking to you. You’ll never understand. The only
things you care are just money and reputation.”
“Yes! Great Grandpa is really bad! We shouldn’t have invited him!” Louis exclaimed
between sobs.
“I think Great Grandpa could change. I think we could be a happy family. But it turns out
Great Grandpa is still evil,” Emily continued while shedding tears. Her eyes and nose had
turned red.
Seeing the twins crying in Kara’s arms, Frank’s chest became tighter His frustration was
doubled. “You really have no heart, Grandpa!”
