Chapter 87
Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father
Everyone suddenly turned around. At that moment, Susan came in carrying several bags. âLetâs see whether your plan is just a talk or not.
âGrandma!â Emily ran to hug Susan.
Instead of saying hello, Louis pursed his lips and emphasized his head movements. âItâs not a difficult thing, Grandma. Just wait and see. I can sit pretty all day.â
âOkay. Letâs seeâ¦.â
Chuckling, Susan stroked the head of the grandchild who was still holding her leg. âPrincess, are you hungry? Sorry Grandma is a bit late.
Emily shook her head slowly as if she was afraid her hair would get messy. âThe nurse who delivered food to Louis gave me milk. Sheâs my new fan. I have to appreciate her gift. So, I drank it straight away.â
âA new fan?â Susan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Kara.
Kara snorted a smile. After taking the bag containing their dirty
clothes, she kissed the twinsâ heads, one by one.
âLittle Angels, Mommy has to leave now. Mom, please take extra care
of Louis and Emily because they have more and more fans.â
Susanâs laugh returned to the air. âDonât worry. I wonât be careless again. Now, donât you want to have breakfast first?â
Taking a lunch bag from her mother, Kara shook her head. âI can do it later. My work is piling up. I have to come early.â
âWhen Mommyâs work is finished, can Mommy come straight here?â

LOUIS PICUucu.
âDonât worry, Louis. Mister Kind will definitely allow Mommy to come home quickly. Letâs just pray that Mommyâs work goes smoothly.â Emily nodded firmly.
Kara smiled sadly. Emily trusted her âfatherâ too much.
After Kara left, Susan opened the lunch box. Emily moved to check what her grandmother had brought beside the breakfast.
âGrandma, where is Yemon? Is he not dry yet? I hope Yemon isnât lonely,â she said as she sat next to Susan. Her pouted lips make her look even more adorable.
âDonât worry, Princess. Your mother hung it at the window, so Yemon can look outside and not get bored. Now letâs eat with Grandma. Louis, do you want to eat again?â
The boy shook his head. His gaze was fixed on the phone. âIâm still full, Grandma. And Iâm busy building an apartment right now.â
âBuilding an apartment?â A manâs voice suddenly came from the door.
Everyone looked over.
âMister Kind?â Emilyâs eyes lit up.
Receiving that sweet welcome, Frankâs smile turned warmer. âGood morning, Emily, Louis, Mrs. Martin.â
In an instant, the tiny girl slipped off the couch and ran to hug the man. Susan didnât blink at the sight.
âGood morning, Mr. Harper,â Susan said stiffly. She didnât really know
the man in front of her. Why was Emily so clingy to him?
âWhat brings you coming here so early, Sir? Kara just left,â Susan continued after a blink.

Grimacing, Frank lifted the shopping bags in his hand. âI felt guilty because I didnât bring anything yesterday. So, today, I want to make up for it.â
Susanâs smile turned awkward. âThatâs very kind of you, but you donât
need to bother, Sir.â
âYes, you donât need to bother, Mister Kind. Your help yesterday alone was very meaningful.â
Frank could not resist Emilyâs charm. Smiling, he put the bags on the couch and carried his little daughter.
âSweet Girl, arenât we friends? As a friend, itâs only natural for me to help you.â
âMr. Grumpy, I hope you donât forget. I donât approve of your
relationship yet,â Louis lowered the phone to his lap. His eyes were looking at Frank sharply.
Hearing those words, Susan widened her eyes even more. Her neck was so stiff that only her eyeballs moved.
Frank realized the meaning of that expression. Quick as lightning, he grabbed a medium-sized blue bag, making it clear the purpose of his
arrival.
âI heard you like cars. So, I hope you like this, Buddy.â
Louis narrowed his eyes. âYou bribe me?â
Frank gasped. His hand which had just placed the bag on the bed was frozen. âNo. This is a gift because I applaud your bravery. Consider
this as an award.â
Louis checked the contents of the bag. When he saw the latest limited edition car toy, his eyes widened. However, not wanting Frank to see his excitement, he quickly lowered his eyebrows.

âThis is clearly a bribe. You want me to approve of your relationship with Emily and Mommy. I donât want to accept it.â He pursed his lips, puffed out his cheeks, and turned his eyes upwards-his signature expression when he wanted to look fierce.
âLouis?â Susan rebuked softly.
Louisâ guts instantly shrank. Scratching his temple, he finally snorted. âOkay. Since youâve bothered to buy this, Iâm willing to accept it.
Thank you, Mr. Grumpy.â
Frankâs heart tingled again. He smiled and nodded. âYouâre welcome, Buddy.â
Even though Louis sounded insincere, Frank knew that the boy was just playing hard to get. His sparkling eyes couldnât lie. He clearly liked the toy.
A second later, his eyes turned to the little girl who was secretly extending her neck, wanting to see the contents of the pink bag on
the couch.
âPrincess, I also have a gift for you.â
The curve of Emilyâs lips stretched perfectly. Holding her breath, she accepted her gift. âThank you, Mister Kind.â She shook the bag which was slightly bigger than Louisâ.
Susan subconsciously clenched her hand under her chin. Her brain. was thinking hard. She had never seen the twins interact with a man
so intimately.
âIs it possible⦠this man is interested in Kara? Thatâs why heâs trying to get the childrenâs attention? Louis even thinks that this man is bribing him.â
âOpen it!â Frankâs exclamation interrupted Susanâs thoughts. âI want to know whether I made the right choice or not.â
+25 BONUS
Still in the manâs arms, Emily reached her head into the bag. âWow, Barbie doll?â
Emilyâs laughter immediately touched Frankâs heart.
âYes. Do you like it? There are lots of dresses and jewelry you can choose for the doll.â
âAnd there are shoes and a bag too?â When Emily looked up, her eyes reflected a warm light.
Frank locked a smile and nodded. His heart just drifted through the
nine clouds.
Suddenly, Emily hugged his neck tightly. If he hadnât been alert, the Barbie would have fallen.
âThank you very much, Mr. Kind. This is the best birthday present ever got from a friend.â
A part of Frankâs heart broke when he heard that. Emily still
considered him a friend.
âYour birthday is still two weeks away, Princess. This is an ordinary gift. I plan to give you something nicer for your birthday next time.â
âIs it true?â Emilyâs eyes lit up even more.
Before Frank could nod, Susan spoke. âSorry, Mister Harper. I donât think you need to bother preparing anything for Louis and Emilyâs birthday. This alone is more than enough.â
The old woman felt embarrassed considering the difference in status between them. Even though Frank was targeting Kara, he was a big
boss.
