Chapter 226
Keith might have spent only two days with Tina and Kara, but he felt warm and safe when he was with
them. Those emotions had never appeared in the past five years of him living with the Langfords
Unfortunately, he would be separated from them soon.
Tina finally got off work in the evening.
When she opened the lounge door, she noticed a small figure all curled up. Keith was already asleep on
the bed, a faint smile on his stoic face. Perhaps he was having a good dream.
Tina didn’t want to wake him up, so she carried him gently from the bed. But no matter how gentle and
careful she was, Keith still woke up in the end.
Still stuck between the folds of dreand and reality, the feeling of being cuddled by a pair of warm
arms made him exim happily, “Mommy, I finally found you…” The moment Keith lifted his head, the
surprised delight quickly dissipated on the spot.
Tina felt her heart throb in pain. She didn’t expect that the little boy who looked so cold and mean was so
vulnerable on the inside.
She couldn’t help but ask softly, “Did youe all the way here just to look for your mommy?”
Keith was used to concealing everything from everyone, but he found it difficult to lie to Tina’s face when
she had been nothing but gentle and kind to him.
“Yes. I ran away from home because I wanted to look for my mommy. It’s been years since Ist saw her,
but it’s alright. I’ll be reunited with her soon. There’s no need for you to worry about me.”
Tina could tell she would miss such a well-mannered and understanding boy like Keith after hearing his
answer. Still, she gave him her blessings. “Yeah. You’ll definitely find your happiness.”
Kara was ecstatic when she reached the family restaurant. She grabbed Keith by the hand and
eximed, “Let’s go y on the see-saw!”
“That’s too childish!” Keith looked repulsed by the very idea. He was a genius hacker, after all. How could
he ever y such childish games? “I want to y with you, that’s all…” Kara looked aggrieved. Keith
pondered for a moment. Since he would be leaving soon, he might as well fulfill the little girl’s wish.
“Fine. I’ll y with you for a while,” he finally relented. Kara continued happily, “I also want to y house
with you! I’ll be the mommy!” “Then, what’s my role?” Keith asked.
“You’ll be my baby!” Keith’s expression became awfully dark in an instant. To him, ying house was the
worst and childish game ever. Out of helplessness, he had no choice but to entertain Kara by partaking
in various childish activities and games. When it was dinnertime, Keith didn’t expect to see a beautiful
cake on the table. “What’s this?” he asked in confusion. Tina announced with a warm smile, “Happy
birthday, Keith!” “But today’s not my birthday…” “This is to make up for yesterday’s birthday!” Kara
exined eagerly. “Keith, I know you dislike candles and cake, but you still have to celebrate your
birthday. I’ll eat your slice for
you!”
Stunned, Keith could only stare at the mother and daughter pair who were grinning from ear to ear. A
foreign feeling surged into his heart at that moment. Those two were definitely idiots. They paid so much
attention to a child of unknown origins like him, to the point they would do anything for him. Weren’t they
afraid he might stab them in the back? That day, Keith finally experienced what it felt like to be a five-
year-old celebrating his birthday. Upon returning home, Tina told Kara a bedtime story as usual. In the
other room, Keith appeared to have changed his mind. He opened theptop and withdrew his order for
the first time ever. “Forget about tracking down the mother and daughter pair’s intel. Also, if anyone else
tries to dig up intel on them, make sure to protect them!”
