Chapter 148 Twins' Birthday Party
Emily smiled cutely. "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 whispered, soothingly.
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.
