Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father

Chapter 106

“Louis and Emily haven’t called yet?” Frank asked quietly.

Kara turned to the pantry door. Seeing the CEO smile sadly, her eyebrows lowered even more. “Not

yet. Looks like they’re mad at me.”

Frank nodded. As he stepped in, he checked Kara’s lunch. The salad was still intact. “Want to eat with

me? I’ve finished negotiating with

the client.”

Kara shook her head wearily. Seeing that lackluster gesture, Frank’s

heart became even sadder.

“Kara….” He placed his hand on her shoulder. “I’m so sorry I dragged you into this. Kids shouldn’t be

mad at you.”

Kara fell silent. She couldn’t lie if her heart wasn’t healed by those

words.

Frank’s tongue was getting numb. He could not bear the guilt any longer. “Kara, I promise, I will fix this.

I will apologize to your mother and the children, explaining that they shouldn’t be angry with y

Kara still didn’t answer. Her head remained bowed with furrow

eyebrows.

Frank pulled a chair and sat next to her. Gently, he lifted her c their eyes met. “I mean it, Kara. I’ll

explain that this isn’t your

“Are you okay if the twins hate you?”

Frank’s eyes suddenly dimmed. “About that…. I don’t know eithe They seemed very disappointed in

me. I don’t know how I can get their attention again.”

Frank pursed his lips, silencing the sadness that rebelled to escape.

“You should have listened to my words, Frank. If only you didn’t

desperately defend me, the problem wouldn’t be this complicated,” Kara sighed softly.

Forcing a smile, Frank blinked softly. “Don’t think so, Kara. Let’s

consider that this problem exists to give me a chance. Once I manage to overcome it, we can finally be

together.”

Kara snorted faintly. “You always say that.”

“We always have to say nice things. That way, the universe will know how much we want it.”

“Then the universe will support you? Kara raised an eyebrow.

Frank laughed slightly. “Yes, but your support still means the most to me. Therefore, do you want to

accompany me this afternoon to meet your mother?”

Kara’s breathing suddenly turned heavy. “I think my mom is going to

court us.

“I can already imagine that. It seems like facing your mother will be more stressful than facing my

grandfather.”

Kara shrugged briefly. “We will see later.”

To cover up his nervousness, Frank kissed Kara’s hand. In his heart, he was grateful. At least, there

was one person who was still by his side this time.

As soon as their work was over, Frank and Kara went straight to the apartment. There was absolutely

no smile on their faces. Both of them were too focused on relaxing their overly tense nerves.

“You ready?” Kara asked when they arrived at the door.

Frank swallowed hard, taking a deep breath. “I must.”

Not long after the door was knocked, Susan appeared with a dim look. Frank had never seen anyone Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

so scary.

“Good evening, Mrs. Martin.” With an awkward movement, he showed the package in his hand. “I bring

dinner for you and the kids.”

Kara was just as tense. She even held her breath. Her eyes secretly studied her mother. She had

never seen that expression before.

“Kara, come in. There are serious things that we both have to discuss,

Susan said firmly. Her eyes were still pointed at Frank.

Not getting a response from Kara, Susan glanced at her. “Come in.” Her tone dropped drastically.

Kara’s lips trembled, but her feet were still. It wasn’t that she was

reluctant to go in, but she couldn’t bear to let Frank go home without success. “Mom, Young Master

Harper came here to talk about something.”

Frank hurriedly nodded. “That’s right, Madam. Please let me speak.”

Susan’s expression did not change at all. With pursed lips, she studied the two people in front of her.

“You really want to come in?” She pulled the door a little wider quirked an eyebrow.

Frank’s breathing grew heavier, but he could still nod. “Yes, Mada

“Okay. Kara, wait outside.”

Frank and Kara widened their eyes. They stared at each other, as i they didn’t want to be separated.

However, Susan’s hand moved, inviting the CEO to pass the door. Like it or not, Frank stepped in.

“Thank you, Madam.”

While Frank placed the package on the table, Susan closed the door.

you want to talk about?”

Frank was still standing. He dare not move. Breathing alone felt wrong. “I… would like to explain about

the incident four years ago.”

Susan lifted her chin. “Explain what? Isn’t it obvious that you….”

Susan couldn’t finish the sentence. After a long, soft sigh, she

whispered, “You think your explanation is enough to atone for your sins? Do you realize what your

mistake was?”

Frank looked down. He no longer dared to look at the teary eyes. “I left Kara that night.”

Suddenly, Susan moved and grabbed him by the collar. If only the room was soundproof, she would

have vented all her frustration.

Susan jerked Frank as hard as she could. The man could only surrender, closed his eyes while holding

back the regret that was welling up in his chest.

“Then where were you when she was fighting to stay alive? Do you know how hard it is to bear shame?

Everyone looked down on her,

even her future husband. The whole world ridiculed and ostracized

her.”

Susan’s tears could no longer be contained. However, instead of

wiping it away, she tightened her grip as if Frank’s life was in her hands.

“You know what’s worse? When she was pregnant, she had to bear the burden of three lives in one

body. She was already so fragile, but

Frank’s breath came out faintly. He tried to speak, but his throat was too narrow and dry. Swallowing

was like eating needles.

“And for years, she fought tooth and nail, to support your children. She didn’t even have time for

herself. Now that the children are all

grown well, you suddenly come, wanting to snatch them from my daughter?”

Without waiting for Frank’s answer, Susan shook her head. “No! Don’t expect to touch those children.”

“Enough, Mom!” Kara suddenly barged in with wet cheeks. “Pleas

enough. Frank is the same as me. He is also a victim. We were b trapped.”

“But he left you!” Susan’s voice boomed.
