Chapter 216
“I’ve never seen anyone as stupid as you in the entire world,” Keith remarked scornfully. Kara pouted
immediately. “Mommy, look at him! He’s mad at me now! He even insulted me! How rude!” “Ma’am,
please teach your child proper manners. Keep her away from me!” Keith said angrily to Tina
Tina was speechless upon hearing Keith’s words. ‘Aren’t you a child as well? Why are you acting all
mature? if I didn’t look at you properly, I would’ve thought you were a short, grumpy old man in his
eighties!’
Tina finally understood something. That little boy might look pretty on the outside, but his personality was
extremely off-putting. He was cold to everyone else, and wouldn’t hesitate to say hurtful things.
She could only lift Kara into her arms as she asked, “Since you know how to talk, do you want me to call
your parents or the police? It’d be bad if you got separated from your parents, after
all.”
The mother and daughter pair were infuriating Keith to no end. He spat in a deadpan tone, “I didn’t get
separated from my parents. I’m here to look for someone. I have things to do.”
Kara peered down at him curiously from her mother’s embrace. “Who are you looking for? What kind of
things are you doing?” “That’s none of your business. Please, just mind your own business.” Keith didn’t
hesitate to shut Kara up. Tina was once again renderedpletely helpless when it came to this
stubborn little boy.
She remembered that Frederick was still waiting inside the bakery. Plus, Kara was eager to go home and
celebrate her birthday, so she suggested, “Let me call the police for you. We’ll leave once they’re here.” It
was obvious that the boy was a vignt little one. Since she couldn’t pry any answers from his mouth,
she would have to entrust him into the police’s care. The moment Tina’s suggestion fell, Keith’s
expression changed drastically.
“No! You can’t call the police! I must never return home!”
Seeing as Tina was adamant on calling the police, Keith knew that if he didn’t say something, his ns
would be foiled.
“You mustn’t call the police! My parents abuse me a lot! That’s why I ran away from home! If you called
the police, i’d be sent back and they’d keep abusing me!”
Tina was shocked to hear that.

“Abuse?!” “Yes!” Keith pulled up his sleeves while he spoke There were terrible cuts andcerations
crisscrossing his tiny arms. Tina’s face turned grim when she saw them. “Oh my goodness!” shouldn’t an
adorable child like Keith be cherished and loved by his parents? It was no wonder he looked very alert
around strangers. This was the reason. Kara was frightened when she saw the scars. “I shouldn’t have
called you rude! Do your arms hurt a lot? They look like they do!” she wailed sympathetically. Keith was
speechless. Tricking the mother and daughter pair was so easy! He also realized that they were
incredibly kind-hearted people, so he continued, “That’s why you shouldn’t call the police. I ran away
from home because I wanted to look for someone, but an unexpected change interrupted my ns. I
never got to find her…” Then, he suggested, “Well, how about this? Why don’t you take me in for now?
Once I’ve found out more news about the person I’m searching for, I’ll leave your house straightaway.
Before that happens, I can pay you rent I have some emergency cash on me, so don’t worry.” Kara didn’t
hesitate to agree with the suggestion. “Of course! We won’t let you suffer from abuse any longer!
Mommy, let’s take him home with us!”
Tina nodded as well. “Okay. Go find your uncle for me. Let’s go home together.” “Okay!” Kara ran into the
bakery to do as told. A whileter, a confused-looking Frederick walked out of the bakery. “Kara told me
something about you taking a child home with you. What’s going on here?” Frederick gazed at Keith as
he spoke. Both of them made eye contact with each other. The former was stunned by thetter’s unique
aura Frederick mumbled subconsciously, “Hmm? Why do I feel that he looks quite familiar?”
