Chapter 121

“Be careful, Mommy.”

“And don’t be afraid to face Finnic! That arrogant man deserves to be silenced.”

Kara chuckled at her children. After kissing each other on the cheek, she returned to her feet. While Kara said goodbye to Susan, Frank looked at his children sadly.

“Do you guys want to hug me too?”

Louis’ eyes widened. “You’ve grown up. Are you a spoiled adult?”

Frank’s heart tingled when he heard that. Smiling faintly, he spread his arms. “Everyone likes to be pampered by the people they love.”

After hesitating, Louis finally accepted the hug. He even gave Frank a pat on the back. “Good luck, Mister Harper.”

Frank closed his eyes for a moment, soaking in the warmth. “Thank you, Buddy.”

Then, he looked at Emily expectantly. “Do you

The little girl’s eyebrows immediately furrowed and her lips pursed. Worried that she might cry, Frank swallowed his words again.

“Okay,” he got up with teary eyes. “See you in two days, Emily.”

After saying goodbye, Frank and Kara got into the limousine. Louis. waved excitedly, while Emily just raised her hands. Frank’s gaze. remained fixed on her.

“Frank, are you crying?” Kara raised an eyebrow, examining the CEO’s eyes more closely.

Instead of rubbing his face, the man smiled sadly. “Emily still hates me.”

Without a word, Kara patted his shoulder. What else could they do? Regret was that bitter.

However, when the limousine arrived at the gate, their attention was diverted. Several large trucks moved in. Their load seemed full.

“What’s that?” Kara sighed with furrowed eyebrows.

The corner of Frank’s lips now released the burden. “Louis’ orders.” He handed the tablet to Kara. She immediately looked at the list displayed.

“A set of drones, a dozen Legos, swimming equipment, story books, a complete painting tool package, a complete design tool package, a knitting tool set, a massage chair, a greenhouse installation, a spal installation?”

Kara’s eyes almost popped out. “Louis asked for all this?”

While smiling, Frank handed over a book. “Louis gave me a guide to make you guys happy. He laid it out very completely.”

Kara’s jaw dropped even wider. “But you don’t have to obey him, Frank. He’s still small. He can’t yet sort out what he really needs.”

“But I think he can, and I’m very grateful for his initiative. I should have given all of that to you a long time ago.”

Frank took Kara’s hand and gave her a kiss. His gray eyes were so calm and cool.

“Besides, there are still many things have to fulfill. Wait until we come back. We will celebrate the children’s birthdays then complete the list. The beautiful days will come soon.”

Kara pondered for a moment. For some reason, a strange feeling

After a blink, Kara sighed, “Okay. But please don’t pamper the twins too much. I don’t want them to be wasteful and complacent.”

Frank smiled slightly and nodded. “Okay, but you don’t mind if I spoil you, right? Since it’s just the two of us, how about we consider this mission as a short vacation?”

“That’s on the list too?” Kara checked the page about her wishes. Accompanying Mom on holiday? OK, Louis wrote it.”

Frank suddenly burst out laughing. “Yes, but that’s not what I mean. I

just want you to relax. We can take the real vacation later, with the

kids.”

Seeing the man’s sincerity, Kara’s heart warmed. “I’m glad you gave us the opportunity to have fun with you. But, you have to remember Frank. It’s not luxuries that the twins want from you. Your presence and affection alone, that’s more than enough.”

Stroking the back of Kara’s hand with his thumb, Frank took a deep breath. His chest was tight with emotion and hope.

“I really can’t wait to finish this cruise mission. Once your nam cleared, we can start all over again,” he sighed.

Kara smiled and gave a small nod. She her self felt the same. She couldn’t wait to establish herself as Frank’s companion.

However, once they reached the port, her enthusiasm turned to tension. The number of journalists and cameras at the entrance to the ship far exceeded expectations.

“Kara, are you okay?” Frank could feel the hand in his grip freeze.

Kara faked a smile on her pale face. “Yeah, I just need to stick with you, right?”

Detecting lies in the wavering voice, Frank ordered the driver to stop.

‘Hey, it’s okay, Kara. Everything will be okay. Now calm down, catch your breath.” Frank massaged his lover’s hand, trying to calm her fears.

Meanwhile, on the cruise ship, several middle-aged women were

enjoying the crowd. From the edge of the deck railing, they talked and laughed.

“Melissa, you are very lucky. Your son is so handsome and well- established. Your future daughter-in-law is also no less rich and

pretty. They really are the perfect couple.”

“You’re right. I can’t imagine how wonderful their children will be. If I were in Melissa’s position, I wouldn’t wait for my grandchildren to

arrive.”

Covering her laughter with a fan, Mrs. Miller patted her friend on the arm. “You are really good in complimenting.”

“We’re not complimenting, but talking about reality. Just look! How many media are covering this grand wedding? I’ve never seen them this enthusiastic.”

“Yes, if not Finnic and Sophia, who else could throw a party on a shi as magnificent as this? And the invited guests… most of them are top businessmen. We are really lucky to be here.”

Melissa chuckled again. From the outside she looked blushing. While in fact, her heart had soared far away.

“You are exaggerating again. My in-laws are a cruise ships owner and hotelier. They would be embarrassed if their daughter’s wedding was held in a simple place.”

The eyes of the other two women sparkled even brighter.

“That’s why we call you lucky, Melissa. Not everyone deserves to be with Sophia. But Finnic ….”

They made amazed gestures as if no words could describe it.

“They are both lucky to find equal partners.”

Melissa’s eyes narrowed. The curve of her lips turned into a knot.

You’re right. I’m really lucky. If Finnic were still with that girl, he

wouldn’t be this successful.”

One of her friends gasped. Her finger was raised, sorting through memories. “Oh, his cheap and poor ex-girlfriend? What’s her name? Kira? Kera? Where is she now?”

“Kara Martin,” the other said with a mocking look. “I used to wonder why Finnic wanted to be with her. Luckily, her scandal was revealed.”

“Yeah, she’s really embarrassing. Luckily Finnic came to his senses. Young women nowadays are scary. It’s hard to tell which ones are truly refined like Sophia.”

Pursing her lips, Melissa snorted. Every time Kara’s face crossed her mind, she always felt disgusted. “Let’s pray she will repent. If not, I’ll feel sorry for the next victim.”

“You’re too kind, Melissa. Why pray for that girl? She deserves

thrown into the sea.”

“Right. Now, let’s forget her. It’s a happy day. And hey, who’s comi

Melissa also squinted at the limousine that had just arrived. In just few seconds, the journalists were crowding near the door. Security officers seemed overwhelmed in maintaining order.
