Chapter 165
Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father
The twins looked at Frank in unison. âWhat is it, Daddy?â
âMommy and Daddy have agreed not to postpone the wedding any longer.â
Instead of being happy, the twinsâ eyebrows furrowed.
âBut, Daddyâ¦, Mommyâs wedding dress is still in progress.â Emily looked worried.
âAnd Daddy hasnât passed the test. Thereâs still one point on the wish list that Daddy hasnât fulfilled yet,â Louis continued with pursed lips.
Kara smiled faintly. She was curious about Frankâs way of dealing
with the twins.
âThatâs what Daddy wants to discuss with you. About taking Mommy on holiday, can Daddy shift the time to after the wedding?â Frank looked at Louis expectantly.
âThatâs called a honeymoon, Daddy, not a holiday,â Louis shook his head like an adult. âBut if Daddy wants to do it later, thatâs fine. I donât have to watch Daddy anymore. Letâs assume Daddy has completed all stages.â
Frankâs eyes widened. His lips escaped a sigh of laughter. âYouâre
serious?â
Louis nodded. âYes.â
Feeling excited, Frank kissed his sonâs chubby cheek repeatedly. â Thank you, Buddy. You are very cool.â
Then, with fervent enthusiasm, he turned to Emily. âPrincess, when will you finish making Mommyâs wedding dress?â

The toddler raised his eyebrows. âMaybe in two weeks. Three weeks at the latest. Daddyâs outfit can be earlier than that.â
Frank let out another sigh of relief. âThen do you agree if Mommy and Daddy get married next month?â
Louis and Emily nodded.
âDoes Daddy have a concept yet?â
âWhere will Mommy and Daddy get married?â
Frank pulled the twins closer to his ear. While he was whispering, the two toddlers giggled in amusement.
âOkay, I agree,â Louis said while scratching his ear.
âYeah, me too. Mommy would love it. Thatâs a brilliant idea!â Emily nodded with sparkling eyes.
Witnessing the twinsâ enthusiasm, Kara narrowed her eyes. âWhatâs the plan?â
Unexpectedly, Louis raised his palm. âSorry, Mommy. Daddy wants us to keep it a secret. It will be a surprise when Mommy takes pre- wedding photos there.â
âYes, Mommy. Mommy just need to focus on Mommyâs project. Let us take care of the wedding.â
Kara sighed in disbelief. She didnât want to give up yet. âIs the event at the beach? At a garden? Or a forest?â She listed the possible answers.
Louis and Emily laughed again. âMommy, itâs no use guessing. Mommy will only find the answer next Saturday.â
âYeah, when we get back to having fun!â
Kara pursed her lips, pretending to sulk. She suspected that the three people would not have the heart to let her be curious. But apparently,
âFrank, Little Bees, where are we going? A private island? Mommy and Daddy canât possibly get married there, right?â Kara sighed as they arrived at the helicopter base.
The twins chuckled. âYouâll see, Mommy.â
A few minutes later, not only Kara was stunned, but also Louis and Emily. Beautiful mountains stretched before them. At one of the peaks, there was a very majestic stone-walled building.
âIs that the mansion weâre going to?â Louis craned his neck. As his eyes were sparkling, his thumb was sticking high in the air. âIt is very cool!â
âYes, and beautiful too. The mansion is like a princessâs castle! In three weeks, Mommy will be the princess.â Emily pressed her hands
to her cheeks.
âYes, it is indeed very beautiful,â Kara sighed while shaking her head
in disbelief.
Suddenly, Louis pointed at the slope covered with rows of green plants. âIs that a vineyard?â
Frank smiled faintly. âYes. Thatâs where Mommy and Daddy will get married. Do you like it?â
âYes!â Even Kara answered.
After the helicopter landed, they got out with excitement. A man in a casual shirt greeted them. âFrank Harper and his little family!â
The twins curled up the corners of their lips. âHello, Uncle Rocky.â
âHello, my special guest.â Bowing with hands on the knees, the man looked at the twins warmly. âLet me guess. This is Louis and this must be Emily.â He poked the toddlersâ noses one by one.

Louis Emily chuckled. They liked their new friend.

When Rocky straightened up again, Kara quickly offered him her hand. âHi. Kara Martin.â
The man shook her hand. âJust call me Rocky.â
After a sm
a smile, he stretched out one hand. âWelcome to my humble mansion, Harpers! Itâs an honor to welcome you here. Iâm flattered you choose this small place as your wedding venue.â
Frank laughed faintly. âYouâre not suited to being humble, Rocky.â
While shaking hands in menâs way, Rocky teased, âAt least, Iâm trying to keep up with the new version of you.â
As Frank snorted lightly, Rocky stepped back and spread his arms as if offering nature. âSo, this will be the backdrop for your wedding. You and your love will say vows on the helipad.â
Kara and the twins looked back. Even though the helicopter blocked half the view, they were still amazed.
âThis place is perfect. Thank you for renting your mansion to us, Uncle,â Emily said sweetly.
Rocky chuckled like Santa Claus. âIâm the one who should thank you. After your parentsâ wedding, this place will definitely become more famous. I can increase the rates and the profits will double.â
Frank sighed faintly. âYou never change, huh?â
âYes, businessmen always focus on profits, except when it comes to friendships.â Rocky fiddled with his eyebrows and patted Frankâs shoulder. âBut, arenât you the same? heard that Saviorâs medical equipment sales are skyrocketing, even beating Millerâs company. You intend to acquire them, huh?â
Frank glanced at Kara briefly, smiling. âNo. I have no intention of

âWell, I hope you donât try your luck at the plantation. I donât da imagine the fate of my grapes if that happens.â
Frank waved his hand. No words came out of his mouth. He realiz
that Rocky was baiting him. He didnât want to be arrogant again.
âAnd I heard,â Rocky glanced at Kara, âthat your future wife is also trying her luck?â
Kara smiled gracefully. âYes, I started small first. I realize that I still have a very long way to go. Isnât it better to go step by step rather than jumping straight away?â
Rocky swung his finger in the air. âIn my opinion, itâs not small at all. In just a few days, your app has been downloaded by half a million people. Thatâs a huge success!â
âIt could be that big because of Frankâs intervention. Without support from him and the twins, the progress would not be this quick.â
Rocky chuckled again like Santa Claus. âNow I understand where Frank learned his kindness and humility from. Thank you, Miss Martin. You have made my old friend better. I would never know he could speak so kindly and gently if he didnât meet you.â
Kara smiled warmly. Meanwhile, Frank scratched the back of his neck. âRocky, instead of talking here, how about you take us around? After this short tour, we still have pre-wedding photos to take.â
Rocky snapped his fingers. âThatâs right. Letâs hurry. You canât miss the sunset. The sky will perfect your portrait.â
âWill it look like a painting?â Emily asked with charming round eyes.
