Chapter 88

“I don’t bother at all, Mrs. Martin. I actually enjoy preparing gifts for your sweet grandchildren.”

A second later, Frank glanced at the last bags on the couch. “I also bought some books. I heard that Louis and Emily like reading, and some biscuits and supplements. Taking care of a sick family member must be troublesome and drains energy.”

“But I’m not troublesome. I don’t need to be taken care of too much.”

Louis’ brows furrowed deeply.

Frank smiled crookedly. “Yes, you’re not physically troublesome. But mentally, I’m sure your mother and grandmother are exhausted.”

“That’s right. I’m mentally tired. Thinking about Louis’ condition drains my

energy. I can’t even sleep soundly. Worrying about something is very tiring,” Emily said, brushing her hair from her shoulders. Frank smiled at her behavior.

“Because of that,” the little girl turned her gaze to her brother, “get well quickly, Louis. Don’t move too much.”

“I am sitting still.” Louis rolled his eyes. He wondered why everyone doubted him. In fact, he just walked around and jumps a little on the

bed when he’s bored.

Suddenly, the door opened wide again. A second later, Kara came in

panting.

“Mommy?” The twins were wide eyed.

Susan approached her daughter. “What’s wrong, Kara? Is there anything left behind?”

Kara didn’t answer right away. Her gaze fell on the man who was still

Ganymy Limy.

“I’m here to remind my boss, Mom. It seems he forgot that today we have to start early. There is an important project that must be handled immediately.”

Frank knew what was on Kara’s mind. His breathing turned heavy.

“That’s right. We have to arrive at the office early. That’s why I came to pick you up. I didn’t expect you to leave first,” Frank explained as he put Emily down.

Kara almost snorted. The bags in the twins’ hands were clearly the

real reason.

“Then, let’s go now. Mom, Emily, Louis, see you.”

A second later, she grabbed Frank’s suit and pulled him out. The man didn’t even have a chance to say goodbye.

Susan was then flabbergasted, Louis sighed, while Emily chuckled with her hand covering her mouth.

“I hope Mr. Kind can melt Mommy’s heart.”

“That must have been really hard, Emily.”

Susan’s eyebrows met. Her suspicions were beyond doubt.

Meanwhile, in the hospital corridor, Kara was still dragging Frank. There weren’t many people on that floor, only Philip and another bodyguard.

“Kara, can you relax a bit? It’s just a gift.”

Kara suddenly turned around and jerked his hand away. Her jaw was throbbing and her eyes were bloodshot.

“Relax? How is that possible? Don’t you understand that what you’re doing is putting my family in danger?” Kara’s voice was thin and full

Frank’s breath began to rumble. He was tired of getting that kind of reaction. “There’s nothing to argue about, Kara. My intentions are very clear. I’ve made up my mind.”

As Kara pressed her temples, he continued, “I have decided to marry

you.”

Kara gasped, while the guards stared wide eyed. Their eyeballs vibrated looking for the right direction.

In silence, Kara checked her surroundings. Finding no additional eyes, she let out a heavy sigh. “Marry me? Are you crazy?”

“Yes, I’ve been crazy since my heart chose you. Now, all I want is you.

I will be your husband and the father of your children.”

Kara laughed dryly. Her head shook slightly. “You’re scaring me, Frank Harper. If you keep acting like this, I’d rather just disappear without a trace.”

Suddenly, Frank grabbed Kara’s arm. His eyes were bulging and filled

with red streaks.

“Don’t you ever… mention it… again. I don’t accept arguments or rebuttals. Once I’ve made up my mind, no one can change it.”

“You can’t just do that-”

Kara’s breath hitched. Her voice was muffled. Frank just leaned forward and stopped right in front of her lips.

“Once again you use your mouth to rebel, you will regret it.”

Kara’s eyebrows furrowed. Her heart seemed to drop to her stomach. Feeling uncomfortable with their distance, she pushed Frank’s shoulder.

“Nonsense! It’s Isabela you should marry, not me.”

Suddenly, Frank grabbed Kara’s waist with one arm. In a blink of an eye, they were no longer distant.

“If you still force me to marry her, fine! I’ll marry both of you.”

Kara frowned. Her eyes flickered. “I don’t even want to be your only wife, let alone the second wife.”

Frank’s eyes darkened. His hands began to lock Kara’s waist tighter. ” You won’t be a second wife, Kara. Next week, we get married.”

Kara’s jaw dropped. Her lips trembled to gather the words. “You can’t force someone who doesn’t love you to be your wife.”

The guards held their breath. They wondered why Kara still dared to fight, while the CEO’s warning was very firm.

“You… still dare to argue?” Frank’s body shook with the turmoil in his lungs.

Instead of submitting, Kara raised her chin. “I’m not arguing, but stating the truth. I really don’t love you. I refuse to marry you.”

Frank’s breath became more ragged. The fire burning in his chest was too big to be extinguished.

“Philip, make sure no one interrupts me.”

While the guard raised their eyebrows, Kara blinked. She just realized that she was careless. Before she could think further, Frank pushed

her into the janitor’s room.

“What are you-”

It was too late. Frank had already sealed her lips mercilessly.

Outside, the guards were still unmoved. They could imagine what was happening through the sound of the broom stick falling, Kara’s moans, and the CEO’s breath which seemed brutal.

“What should we do?” A guard whispered.

Philip shrugged stiffly. With trembling hands, he pulled the door so that there was no longer any slit.

“Frank….”

Kara was overwhelmed. The CEO really wanted to punish her. It was

like she wasn’t allowed to breathe.

After a while, she no longer had the energy to fight. Her face had become a tomato and her grip weakened. She stopped pushing the broad chest in front of her. When the naughty hand acted, Kara couldn’t help but wince. She didn’t know how to deal with the tingling in every cell in her body.

Feeling a vibration in his arms, Frank finally took a break. Catching his breath, he cupped Kara’s cheek and brushed the blush with his thumb.

“See? You want me too, Kara. So stop pretending.”

Kara slowly opened her eyes. Looking at the deep gray bead in front of her, she let out a sigh of resignation. She was truly helpless. “Don’t give me that look.”

“Why? Are you afraid of failing to deny your feelings?” Frankr thinly.

Kara couldn’t answer. Her eyes filled with tears. The great con

had frozen her common sense.
