- Attend a Party Together
Before Emily could pout, Jeremy cleared his throat. “Fortunately, Mrs. Martin is full of preparation.” He casually placed a suitcase on the elevator floor.
“Is Yemon inside?” Emily’s eyes turned round like a doll’s.
Jeremy smiled slightly. “Yes, your dress and crown too. Your
grandmother is afraid that tomorrow you will suddenly have to attend the party. So, she prepared for it.”
In an instant, all the wrinkles on Emily’s face disappeared. Hugging the suitcase that was the size of herself, she said, “Thank you, Mr. Driver.”
“You’re welcome, Young Lady. Now, get some rest. It’s already too late. Don’t let dark circles appear under your eyes.”
Emily widened her eyes in horror. “Is it true? My eyes can turn black like panda eyes?”
“Jeremy?” Frank glared at him before holding Emily’s shoulder. “Dol worry, Princess. The party starts at nine o’clock. We can get up a litt late so you can have enough sleep.”
“But Mommy and I still have to dress up. We need at least two hours.”
While Louis patted his forehead, Kara let out a laugh. “Don’t worry, Little Bee. Jeremy was just teasing you. No dark circles will appear, as long as you don’t cry anymore.
“Mommy’s right!” Louis said with a lazy gesture. “There’s nothing you need to worry about, Emily. If your eyes are black and swollen, just stick them with ice. Now, how about we go to our room? I’m tired. My energy is drained because I worried too much about Daddy.”

Intrigued by the remark, Frank chuckled. “Okay, let’s go to the cabin.
Say goodbye to Jeremy.”
“See you, Mr. Driver.”
“Thank you for taking us here.”
While the twins were waving their hand, the elevator doors closed.
Frank and Kara looked at each other. This atmosphere was
something new for them.
“It’s the four of us now?” the man whispered.
Kara nodded with a sweet smile. “Yeah, four of us.
At the cabin, the four of them immediately fell asleep. Louis was right. What they had gone through was too exhausting. When they woke up, Emily was busy looking for ice to compress everyone’s faces.
“Mommy, am I beautiful yet?” Emily asked as they walked towards the party venue.
Before Kara could answer, Louis replied, “You said it took two h to get dressed. But the only thing that’s changed is your hair.”
“That’s because I’m still small, Louis! I can’t use make up yet for sake of my skin’s health. “When I grow up, I will make makeup children can wear,” Emily said proudly.
Frank chuckled. While stroking the back of Emily’s hand, he smiled at Kara. “Our daughter is really great. Even though she is still small, she already has a very big dream.”
“Yes. That’s why they are our most valuable treasure,” Kara rubbed Frank’s shoulder affectionately.
“My dreams are big too!” Louis exclaimed, looking up with round
eyes. “I want to make the most advanced technology to help many

make cool apartments for people who don’t have much money. Apart from that, I will make music to entertain everyone.”
“Wow, that’s really cool, Buddy,” Frank replied with a proud smile.
“I also have other goals besides making make up,” Emily raised her hands excitedly. “I want to be a great designer! I will design clothes, bags, shoes, crowns… everything that makes a woman look more radiant.”
Smiling brightly, the little girl kept talking about her dreams. Frank and Kara listened carefully. Occasionally, they gave her compliments. Not wanting to lose, Louis added more to his list.
After a while, they arrived at the venue. Frank held Emily’s hand and Kara got Louis. When they took photos at the welcoming booth, the other guests could not blink watching them.
The groomsman who was talking to Finnic also got stunned. “Gosh, aren’t they a perfect family?” he sighed.
Finnic turned around. When he found Kara with Frank and the twins, his breath hitched. His eyes trembled and his lungs were ful jealousy. He couldn’t deny that he wanted to be in that posit
“It’s natural that the children look so adorable. Their parents beautiful and handsome. I think they’ll be all over magazine soon. The whole world will hail their chemistry.”
Hearing that addition, Finnic’s blood boiled even more. While he t hard to suppress the roar in his chest, the guests smiled and chuckled in admiration.
“Are those the children who appeared in the video last night? Oh my God…. They’re even cuter when seen in person!”
“And look at the boy! He looks a lot like Frank Harper. Moreover, their

“Oh, I’m so jealous of Kara. She has great kids and partner!”
Finnic looked down and sighed. His ears couldn’t take in any more praise. In the past, he always felt that he was the best man for Kara. Now, reality slapped him cruelly.
It wasn’t Kara who wasted his loyalty; he himself was the one who wasted his love. He was the worst partner for Kara.
“I can’t continue this,” he muttered absently. Without thinking, he walked to the nearest restroom.
Everyone suddenly stopped looking at the perfect family. Even Frank and Kara noticed him leaving from a distance.
“What happened?”
“What’s wrong with Finnic?”
While the attendants wondered, Frank exchanged glances with Kara. ”
I think I know why he is like that. Princess, do you want to be with Mommy for a moment?”
Emily nodded. Frank handed her hand to Kara.
“Frank, what do you want to do?” Kara sighed, worried.
The corners of Frank’s lips lifted slightly. “Just wait. I won’t be long. Then, he walked in the direction Finnic had disappeared.
“Aargh!” Finnic clutched his head, groaning as loud as he could. His red eyes were wet since regret could no longer be suppressed.
“What should I say to Sophia? What should I explain to everyone? I really can’t do this.”
“You want to cancel your wedding for a single mother of two whom I will soon marry?”

Finnic gasped and turned towards the door. Frank was standing there with a relaxed expression.
“What do you want? Are you going to laugh at me? Boast about your victory?”
Unexpectedly, Frank widened his smile. There was no threat painted on his handsome face. “So, you have admitted your defeat?”
Finnic clenched his hands into fists, as if ready to throw them. However, just as he was about to take a step, Frank whispered, “Then
don’t.”
Finnic’s anger suddenly dissolved into confusion.
“Don’t admit your defeat because this is not a match,” Frank
continued lightly. “Kara is not a trophy to be won. So, you don’t need to feel defeated.”
Finnic’s grip slowly loosened. However, his brows were still furrowed in displeasure. “What do you want?” he asked again with more
emphasis.
Frank’s lips pursed forward. “I just want to say… if you really care about Kara, stop expecting her. That will only put burden on her
shoulders.”
Finnic swallowed hard. His mind was starting to open, but his heart was getting hotter. “This is not fair. You also left her before, but why are you now together?”
Suddenly, Frank stepped forward and patted Finnic on the shoulder. “I left Kara because of my stupidity, but you did it out of your
conscience. Our case is different, Finnic Miller. We can not be
compared. Moreover, she was a stranger to me, but a future wife to you.”
Finnic’s eyes started water. His hands clenched again, fighting
