Pampered Wedding Marry Me, Mr. Langford

Chapter 217
Frederick had a hunch that he had seen the boy before.
Just as he was pondering on the latter’s identity, Kara interrupted his thoughts and called out impatiently, “Uncle Frederick, stop
dilly-dallying! Let’s go home! I want to celebrate my birthday and have some cake!”. “Oh! Alright, then!” Frederick could only
carry out his duties as Kara’s loyal chauffeur. She was the birthday star, so her orders must be heeded!
Soon, the car came to a halt in front of an apartment building. Keith followed the others out of the car. – Tina and Kara’s living
quarters might not be big, but the place was decorated nicely. At first
THE STREET glance, it looked very cozy to live in. The common quarters were plastered with artwork produced by Kara in her
kindergarten classes. Everywhere Keith looked, he would spy cute plushies here and there. Kara was friendly and welcoming to
the new guest. She demonstrated her hospitality by locating a pair of small indoor slippers. “This is my favorite pair of slippers.
They’re shaped like cute bears! I’ll let you wear them.” However, Keith’s expression started becoming grim. Not only did the
slippers sport the appearance of cute bears, but they were also colored a bright pink “I don’t wear slippers like these!” he replied
huffily. “Huh? You don’t like bears? What about yellow duckies?” Kara fetched a pair of bright yellow slippers that sported
duckling patterns. “I don’t want those as well.” “Hmm... What about giraffes? Or sheep slippers?” Kara kept presenting more
slippers in front of Keith, each pair cuter than the one before. The boy was completely speechless by now. He was never
talkative to begin with, but it was impossible for him to speak up in front of the mother and daughter combo, especially when
Kara was involved. “Do you have any normal-looking slippers?” . Kara felt hurt on the inside. “These slippers are so cute! Why
don’t you like them?” “I just don’t like them åt all, okay?” Tina tried to appease the boy by saying, “Kara’s slippers are categorized
under the theme of cute animals. If you don’t like them, you can always wear regular grown-up’s slippers.”

Keith finally agreed to that. Kara was quick to let go of her grievances. She couldn’t wait to start her birthday celebration, so she
took out the party hats, plates, forks, and a small bunch of birthday candles. “I’m turning five years old today, so we need to
place five candles on the cake! All of you can place one candle each, and I’ll place the remaining two candles!” Tina and

Frederick accepted the candles, but Keith backed away from Kara with a look of disgust. “Low quality candles can cause harm to
the human body once lit. Aren’t you afraid of getting poisoned?”
Kara replied, “Huh? We’ll get poisoned by the candles? Then, let’s skip the candle-lighting process. Can I cut the cake now?”
“Cakes aren’t good for your health as well. Most of them are produced using hydrogenated vegetable oil, after all. Even the
chocolate used as your cake filling isn’t real. It’s actually a cocoa butter replacer that contains trans fatty acid.” Upon studying the
cake painted with rainbow colors and had animals drawn on the surface, Keith added in the same disgusted tone, “Plus, your
cake has so much weird stuff drawn all over the surface. That means the food coloring has definitely exceeded the safety
levels.”
Kara could only listen to Keith’s complaints in confusion. Imaginary stars were beginning to spin around her head. After that,
Keith glanced at Tina and Erederick. “Don’t you know about all this information as parents? How on earth did you educate your
child?” All three of them couldn’t say anything in retaliation. In the end, Kara was the first one to speak up first. Confusion colored
her tone as she exclaimed, “T-Today is my birthday! Don’t you eat cakes during your birthday?” “I never celebrate my birthday!
It’s a ridiculously childish thing to do!” Keith might only be a child, but the moment he opened his mouth, his razor-sharp words
could hurt everyone’s feelings in the room. Sorrow overcame Kara at that instant. Her lips scrunched into a pout, and she could
feel big fat tears rolling down her cheeks like broken strings of pearls. “All I want to do is to celebrate my birthday... I want to eat
that cake...” Keith didn’t expect to drive the little girl in front of him into tears, crying like a baby. “What on earth are you crying
for?”
