Chapter 100
Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father
At the heliport, Louis and Emily couldnât cover their teeth. They felt elated especially when they were dressed in special uniforms like pilots. Their chatter became even shriller.
âLook, Mommy! This dress is very beautiful. It suits me.â
âIâm cool too. If my hand wasnât in a cast, people would think I was the pilot.â Louis patted his helmet proudly.
A moment later, Frank appeared in a similar uniform. His name was engraved on the right chest.
âWow, I also want my name on this shirt,â Emily said with extending neck.
With a faint smile, Frank.showed two small boards. Seeing their names engraved there in gold ink, cries of joy once again echoed.
âWe have it too, Louis! We have it too!â
âWoohoo! We really are like cool pilots!â
Laughing along, Frank put it on for the twins.
âNow, you guys ready to take off?â
âReady, Captain!â
With high steps, the toddler stepped forward. However, realizing that their mother was not following, they stopped.
âMommy, why are you still there?â
âCome on, come to the helicopter!â
Kara curled up her lips. âYou two can go with Mister Harper. Mommy
will wait here.â

âThe helicopter capacity is four people. Come on, Kara. Come with us. Do I need to prepare a uniform for you too?â
Frankâs words made Kara gasp. âWhat about the pilot? You want to make him sit on the propeller?â
Frank laughed lightly. âYou have the heart to make me sit on the propeller?â
Louis and Emily suddenly looked at each other. âYouâre the pilot?â they exclaimed in unison.
Frankâs warm eyes focused on the twins. âYes.â
While the toddlers were stunned, Karaâs eyes wandered around looking for the truth. âIs he serious? Heâs going to fly the helicopter?â
Jeremy smiled. âYoung Master has a flying certificate. He has even won competitions.â
However, Karaâs gaze was still filled with doubt. âReally? Youâre not making us guinea pigs, are you? Louis and Emily are still very young.â
âYouâll find out the answer later.â Frank took Karaâs hand ar
way towards the helicopter. The woman spontaneously leane backwards.
âWait! Little Bees, youâre not serious about flying with Mr. Harpe you?â
âMommy, Mr. Kind wouldnât fly the helicopter if he couldnât.â

Kara grimaced at Emilyâs calmness. She wondered where the little girl got that courage.
âLouis?â She glanced at her son who was walking casually beside her.
âFor this time, I believe him, Mommy. I saw a mini helicopter and a gold plane in his office. I thought they were just for display, but now, I

they won pics.
Kara no longer expressed anxiety. She just frowned, suppressing the pounding in her chest. Since giving birth, her courage has decreased a lot.
A moment later, the four of them entered the helicopter. Frank and Louis sat in the front, while Kara and Emily occupied the back seat.
âWoah! This is the coolest thing Iâve ever seen!â Louis shouted through the small microphone attached to his helmet. His head could not stay still, compensating for his confused eyes to see the dashboard or the propeller that was starting to spin.
Emily nodded in agreement. Even though her back remained pressed against the backrest, her eyes were no less agile in sweeping the view outside the glass wall.
âWeâre not even flying, but this is already so cool. What will happen when we are as high as the clouds? I really canât imagine.â
Frank chuckled at the twinsâ chatter. After making sure everything was âreadyâ, he gave the signal, âLetâs get on the air!â
Shouts of joy accompanied by laughter immediately domi headset speakers. Kara heard that too, but her heart beat seer louder. Her lips were still muttering prayers.
When they had reached the sky, Emily touched her hand. The too already had the courage to straighten her back from the backrest.
âMommyâ¦, itâs okay. Mister Kind is a great pilot! Look! Our helicopter is very stable.â
Kara glanced outside. They were over the city. The buildings looked like toys, the streets seemed endless, and the cars looked like Louisâ toys. Seeing that beauty, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
A moment later, they entered the harbor area. The roads were now

boundary, the containers were neatly arranged. Several ships lined at the waterâs edge.
âLook! It looks like the place where weâre kidnapped.â Louis pointed his finger.
Emily also checked. When she found a pile of yellow cargo, her lips pursed. âDid a helicopter see us at that time?â
âI donât think so. Even if there were, they would think we were ants.â Frank chuckled. âYou guys want to see something cooler?â
âYeah!â
Suddenly, the helicopter changed direction. A moment later, a bridge stretched out before them.
âWoah! I just realized that the bridge is really big and long!â
âIts legs must be very strong! Look! It can hold up many big cars!â
Kara smiled seeing the twinkle in Emilyâs eyes. Secretly, she was grateful that Frank wanted to invite the twins to have fun in thi
way.
Yes, she couldnât see Louisâ face. However, from his high voice, s was sure that the toddler was as enthusiastic as his sister, or eve
more.
After a while, they finally passed over the beach. Part of the sea was hidden behind the clouds. However, it didnât reduce the enthusiasm of
the twins.
âWe are higher than the clouds!â
âYeah! This is so cool! Look! The people on the beach are so small.â
âTry to find where our castle was, Emily!â

While her children were busy observing, Kara became emotional again. Finnicâs face came to her mind. Subconsciously, she took a heavy breath.
âHe must still really hate me.â
âKaraâ¦.â
Frankâs voice snapped her out of the reverie. She blinked and raised an eyebrow. âYes?â
âIâve succeeded in making Louis and Emily happy today. But it looks like you havenât. Is there anything I can do to make you laugh?â
Karaâs eyes suddenly filled with tears. Did Frank hear her thoughts? Did he know whatâs in her heart?
While thinking, Kara studied the twins. The two toddlers were still busy commenting and pointing outside, but nothing could be heard from the headset.
Did Frank intentionally separate their communications? Helicopters were that sophisticated?
âKara, do you still think about him?â Frank asked again.
Kara did not answer. She just swallowed hard.
âPlease donât. He doesnât deserve your attention. Men who only think
about their own feelings will never truly love you. They love
themselves too much.â
Kara was pensive. Her eyes trembled as she looked at the CEOâs
back. âThen what kind of man would truly love me?â
Frank fell silent for a moment. âWhy do you ask? In fact, you are the
one who taught me about true love.
Karaâs eyebrows knitted together. âMe?â

Frank surveyed the situation for a moment before continuing to speak. âFrom you, I learned that love is about understanding and accepting. Your shortcomings will not be a problem. They are something that invites me to protect you more.â
Kara was stunned. That perfectionist CEO⦠could say something like
that?
âFrom you too, I learned. Love is easy to forgive. My interests are not longer the top priority, but your happiness, our happiness. I canât possibly be angry for a long time at the woman I love.â
Frank paused for a moment, letting Kara absorb his sincerity.
âBecause of that, a man who loves you will not leave just because of one mistake. He will always be by your side. Even if you push him away, he will always be there for you, just like I will never stop being patient and hoping for opportunities from you.â
Karaâs breath hitched. Frankâs earnestness filled her lungs. Like how a propeller moved the air to lift the helicopter, those words brought her heart soaring through the hope.
âWhat made you choose me?â Kara asked hoarsely.
