Chapter 78

Seeing Frank’s reaction, Kara spun around. Two toddlers were

apparently lying near the taller stack in the middle. They took shelter in its shadow, hugging each other.

“They’re here….” Kara sighed with a smile. “They’re here!”

Without considering the height, she ran towards the twins. “Louis,

Emily!”

Hearing the names from Kara’s mouth, Frank’s ears immediately rang and his chest became tight.

‘Is that really them? I am… their father?’

‘I am a useless parent?’

He realized that his sin against Kara and the children he had abandoned was enormous. It had piled up as high as a mountain and was impossible to move.

After a long time, Frank Harper finally gathered tears in his eyes again. Not because of guilt towards his father or disappointment with his grandfather, but because of the family he failed to take care.

“Little Angels….” Kara dropped her knees onto the cargo. The vibration made the twins open their eyes.

“Mommy?” Louis smiled. While keeping his left hand with another hand, he sat up.

Emily got up too. She was blinking silently. Only after seeing Kara’s

Now, how are you doing? You guys aren’t hurt, are you?”

“My hand hurt. But after sleeping, it doesn’t hurt anymore.” Louisis shook his head so quickly that his chubby cheeks trembled.d

“Mommy, have you seen Yemon? He made me bother going up the e stairs earlier. So, Louis asked me to throw him away. Louis even tore e off a patch from my shim to put in the secret pocket.”

Kara nodded slightly. “Yes, Yemon is downstairs. But why did you tearr your sister’s clothes, Honey?’

Louis’ eyes suddenly became round and fiery. “I think that could be a clue. It’s the same color as the big box we climbed on earlier.”

“We didn’t actually mean to go up here, Mommy. We planned to go up to the lower box. But when we got there, the box suddenly moved here,

Frank swallowed hard. He often met with many important people from all over the world. He always spoke fluently to them, even in various languages. But now, why did he stammer in front of two

toddlers?

“Actually, I was the one who solved the puzzle in Yemon’s pocket. I thought you were up here.”

“Really? You helped Mommy find us?” Emily was enthusiastic. The light reflected in her eyes looked like the brightest stars.

Seeing that cheerful face, Frank’s heart tingled with a strange throb. The tension faded. With a small smile, he nodded. “Yes.”

Suddenly, Emily spread her arms and ran to Frank. Her chuckle invited Frank to bend his knees. When those tiny hands wrapped

Frank now understood. The strange feeling when he first hugy Emily in the library was not awkwardness, but rather a father’s for his child. Frank didn’t know when that feeling came, but he liked He felt warm. The empty space in his heart was suddenly filled. The longing began to be relieved. Closing his eyes, he hugged Emily as if he would never let her go again.

“Thank you, Mister Kind. I know that you are a good friend.”

The curve of Frank’s lips turned flat and the twinkle in his eyes faded. The little girl’s statement had made a hole in his heart, spilling out the

hope he had just harbored.

the coward who abandoned them.”

How can they be so familiar? Isn’t this their first meeting?

“Okay,” Louis said, interrupting Kara’s thoughts. “I admit that you are not a bad person this time. Sorry for suspecting you, Mr. Grumpy.”

Frank’s face turned sour when he heard that nickname. Winning Louis

heart seemed to be much more difficult than Emily’s.

“I’m not grumpy, Little Boy. You just don’t know me well.” Smiling bitterly, Frank stretched out an arm. His eyes filled with tears. “Do you want to hug me too?”
