When Kara was about to change the topic, Rowan had already
accepted the offer. She had no other way but to keep the twins close to her. Luckily, the situation in the canteen was quite busy. There was little chance of her children being attacked there.
“Sir, why are we sitting at this table? Shouldn’t we choose the menu there?” Louis pointed his finger at a long table near the glass partition in the service area.
“That’s because you are special guests. You don’t need to order again. “This canteen will soon serve the best menu for us,” Rowan glanced at Kara with a faint smile.
“Is it true?” Louis’ eyes lit up. He glanced at Emily and wiggled his eyebrows. “We might get that expensive ice cream, Emily.”
Emily nodded with a sweet smile. “I hope so.”
Hearing the whispers of the twins, Rowan secretly mocked. ‘Is their
life that difficult that they can’t afford the ice cream they want?’
“You guys want that ice cream? Why don’t you just tell Mommy?” Kara asked with furrowed eyebrows.
Louis and Emily shook their heads in unison.
“We have to save money, Mommy. Because of that, Emily and I collected the visiting coupons.”
“We can exchange 30 coupons for one small cup. Louis and I have collected 12.”
Smiling bitterly, Kara stroked their shoulder. “You really are good kids, Little Angels. As a reward, you can order that ice cream after lunch.”
“Is it okay? Mommy needs a lot of money to buy our school uniforms. later,” Louis said in a worried tone.
“It’s okay for us to wait until our coupons are collected,” Emily continued, nodding like a pretty doll.
Watching the short drama, Rowan let out a faint sigh. His brows.
furrowed uncomfortably. He thought Kara was deliberately making him feel sorry.
A moment later, a servant came with a trolley. Louis and Emily didn’t blink as the uniformed girl placed the dishes one by one. Occasionally, they glanced at each other and giggled.
However, when a plate of shrimp appeared, Emily’s cheerfulness faded. She immediately pouted and hugged Kara tightly.
Witnessing Emily’s fear, Kara stole a glance at Rowan. She already suspected that the old man had bad intentions towards her children.
Meanwhile, Louis patted his sister’s hand and comforted her. “You don’t need to be afraid, Emily. We’re fine as long as we don’t eat it. Look at this! I touch it but my finger is fine.” Louis put his words in
practice.
“You guys can’t eat shrimp?” Rowan pretended to be surprised. In fact, he already held all the information related to the twins.
“Yes, we are allergic to shrimp,” Louis said lightly.
“Then should we remove it from the table?”
Louis shook his head. “No need, Sir. Mommy likes shrimp. But since
we found out we were allergic, Mama never ate it again.”
“Oh…. So, your allergies were inherited from your father?”
Kara sucked in a heavy breath. She could no longer remain silent.
“Sorry, Mister Harper. If you don’t mind, please put the plate away. Emily couldn’t have lunch comfortably if she saw it.”
