56. Shrimp for the Twins
When Kara was about to change the topic, Rowan had already
epted 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 ss 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 nced at Kara with a faint smile.
“Is it true?” Louis’ eyes lit up. He nced 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.ter,” 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 ufortably. He thought Kara was deliberately making him feel sorry.
A momentter, a servant came with a trolley. Louis and Emily didn’t blink as the uniformed girl ced
the dishes one by one. asionally, they nced at each other and giggled.
However, when a te of shrimp appeared, Emily’s cheerfulness faded. She immediately pouted and
hugged Kara tightly.
Witnessing Emily’s fear, Kara stole a nce at Rowan. She already suspected that the old man had
bad intentions towards her children.
Meanwhile, Louis patted his sister’s hand andforted 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 rted 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 te away. Emily couldn’t have lunch
Rowan sneered and nodded. Just through hand movements, the servant already understood the order.
After ensuring that the cafeteria was still quite busy, Kara whispered to her son, “Louis, why don’t you
take Emily to order the ice cream you. both like? Your sister needs something to calm her fears.”
“Can we have ice cream before lunch?” Louis widened his eyes in
surprise.
“Yes, you can taste it a little, and then eat it after the main course.”
“Okay.”
Excitedly, Louis jumped down from the chair. Taking Emily’s hand, he walked towards the ordering
counter. Kara was sure that the two toddlers would need quite a long time to make a choice.
“You must already know about the allergies the twins have, but why, did you serve shrimp?” Kara asked
in a low but firm voice.
Rowan smiled crookedly. “I just want to make sure. The hospit could have been manipted. Turns
out, that’s true?”
“Frank already has agreed to marry Isab. That means I’ve ke word and you shouldn’t harm the
twins. Why are you acting out the agreement?”
“Did you see your children eating it? No, right? They are still health and even look happy.”
The old man turned to Louis and Emily who were busy arguing in front
of the ice cream banner.
“What do you really want to say?” Kara asked boldly.
Rowan pursed his lips and leaned back in his chair. His gaze remained fixed on the twins. “You said
you would disappear soon, but why are you still listed as a Savior employee?”
“You don’t intend to unite your children with their father, do you?”
Kara stupefied. Her chest suddenly became tight. Her gaze wandered for a moment. Her response
made Rowan snort triumphantly. The old man felt he had struck the right spot.
When she was tired from work or watching her children y alone, Kara sometimes hoped to find a
kind-hearted man who was willing to be their father. Together, they could be aplete, happy family.
However, that man was clearly not the boss. Even if Frank Harper was the twins’ father, it would be
impossible for them to be together. The barrier between them was too great.
Seeing Kara’s eyes fill with tears, Rowan felt victorious. “Is that so? You think your children are happy
now?” His tone was full of disdain. While sneering, he turned his attention back to Louis and Emily.
“Look at those clothes…. I think the school uniform will be the best clothes they have if you can afford
it.”
“Look at their thin bodies…. I hope this dish isn’t the best they’ve ever

“Oh, I also remember how enthusiastic they were at studying earlier. They must be very grateful to be
able to get a schrship because without it…, their poor mother would not be able to afford them to
study at Savior.”
Kara’s breath started to rumble. However, she couldn’t deny it. That’s the reality. She was unable to
give the best to Louis and Emily
because of economic conditions.
“So, is your grandson happy? He could buy whatever he wanted, always ate sumptuous dishes, and
received the best education. He even has a high position in thepany and many achievements. Yet,
is he happy?”
Rowan’s cheeks twitched at the reply. He could feel the strong sarcasm between the secretary’s words.
