Chapter 215
Soon, Tina found herself standing in front of the little boy. “Why are you alone? Where are your parents?” she asked as she
crouched down. However, the little boy shot her an alert look and started backing away from her. Tina could see vigilance written
all over his eyes. For a moinent, she could spot the cold and sharp glint in his eyes that no child his age should possess.
Strangely enough, she found the feeling to be familiar. She had never seen that child before, hadn’t she? If she did, there was no
way she wouldn’t remember him. However, this was not the time to dwell on other things. Tina explained to the boy, “Don’t worry.
I’m not a bad person. I just want to ask about your parents’ whereabouts” The little boy had no intention to answer her. All he did
was stare at her coldly
“Do you know your parents’ numbers? Should I call them for you?” Tina asked again Again, the little boy remained silent. Tina
felt helpless He was too alert for a child his age, to the point he refused to talk to strangers at all. Then again, it was probably a
good thing for himn. If Kara was the one getting lost in the streets, there was a chance she might follow someone else home due
to her overt friendliness. At that moment, Kara ran to Tina and asked, “Mommy, why are you out here? Uncle Frederick and I are
done buying the cakes! Let’s go home...” Suddenly, the little boy turned to look at Kara.
The latter was intimidated by the forner’s gaze She hugged Tina while saying, “Mommy, who’s this kid? Was he glaring at me?
He’s so rude!” “I think he got separated from his parents, so he’s skittish at the moment.” Tina defended the boy. It was only then
that Kara’s fright dissipated. Instead, she approached the boy with curiosity sparkling in her eyes. “Are you lost? What’s your
name? Do you want to call the police, or do you want us to make a phone call for you?” Kara was a friendly girl by nature, so she
had many friends at the kindergarten The little boy’s aloof personality didn’t bother her at all. She continued, “You look pretty rich
since you dress very nicely. Don’t you have a butler or some bodyguards following you everywhere? It’s best if you stick to your
mommy and daddy all the time when you’re out here. Since you look super cute, you might get kidnapped by bad guys. You’d be
forced to wear
shabby and torn clothes, and you wouldn’t be able to cat delicious cake cver again. All you could eat by then is dirt and dust!”
When the boy stubbornly remained silent, Kara continued, “Why aren’t you talking to me? Are you mute? Well, why don’t you try
using sign language to communicate with me? Do you know how to write?”
Once Kara started talking, there was no stopping her. Words would spill out of her mouth like rushing water from a broken dam
When Tina noticed the boy’s expression growing more and more thunderous, she tugged on her daughter’s sleeve tacitly in an
attempt to get Kara to mind her words. “Kara, you should...”.
Unexpectedly, the boy looked like he was unable to handle Kara’s ramblings anymore. He spat out a few words immediately, as
if he had a quota on spoken words.
“I’m Keith!” he snarled “Huh? What did you say?” Kara asked. “My name!” Keith said coldly, looking disgusted. “I didn’t hear your
name the first time Can you repeat it for me?”
“Clearly, your ears are the problem here.”
Not only did that little boy adopt an aloof attitude, but his words were also extremely sharp.
“My ears are fine. You’re the one who couldn’t speak well, okay? How is this my fault?” Kara replied with an indignant huff. “What
did you say your name was? Kiss?”
Keith was speechless His name was Keith, not kiss! “Why aren’t you talking anymore? Are you really mute? Or could it be that
you have a lispor something?” “I’m fine!”
“Then why didn’t you pronounce your name properly?”
Keith Langford had always been treated by all with the utmost respect in the Langford manor. At that moment, Kara’s response
left him completely baffled.
