Chapter 94
Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father
âOpen it,â Frank whispered with a faint smile.
When Kara found the access card in the box, her eyes widened.â What?â
âThatâs your room key.â
Karaâs eyebrows furrowed. The cards had different colors-pink for Emily, blue for Louis, and yellow for her.
âWe⦠got different rooms?â she sighed doubtfully.
Frank nodded. âThose rooms are empty. Iâd be happy if you could occupy it.â
Emily and Louis stared at each other with round mouths. âWe have
our own room?â
âYes. Are you happy? Or do you want the same room?â
âNo!â The twins answered in unison.
âWeâve always wondered what it would be like to have our own rooms,
Emily added.
Kara silently grimaced. She never knew her children had such desires.
âNow, are you ready to see it? Louis or Emilyâs room first?â
âEmilyâs first,â the toddler boy answered as if he didnât care. In fact, his toes could not stay still in the shoes.
Soon, they went up to the second floor. After Emily tapped the access card on the door, the pink walls immediately greeted her. There were lots of cute stickers there. Emily loved them all.
âThis is cool!â she sighed with sparkling eyes.

She also liked the bed with the fluffy blanket, the small dressing table decorated with lots of lamps, and the white wardrobe next to the
bookshelf.
âI actually want to buy lots of dolls for you, but Iâm afraid they wonât compete with Yemon,â the CEO muttered.
âNo need, Mister Kind. This alone is more than enough. Thank you for preparing such a beautiful room for me.â Emily hugged Frankâs leg.
Kara was restless. She was sure that Frank secretly believed that the twins were his flesh and blood. However, seeing the emotion on Emilyâs face, she could do nothing.
Suddenly, Frank grabbed Emilyâs hand and asked her to open the wardrobe. Apparently, it was full of beautiful and cute clothes.
âWhile you live here, you can wear all of these.â
Emily was stunned. She felt like she was in a shopping center. âHow will Mommy pay for it? This must be very expensive.â
Kara silently looked down and scratched her ear. She was aware of her shortcomings as a mother. Frankâs gift seemed insinuating. However, she couldnât possibly forbid Emily from accepting it. Thatâs her right.
âWhat about my room?â Louis could no longer pretend to be patient.
Frank smiled faintly. They moved to the next room. When the door opened, Louisâ eyes almost jumped out of their sockets.
The walls of the room were blue with a space feel. There were lots of planets and rockets there. The room layout was similar to Emilyâs room. Itâs just that, the shelf next to the wardrobe was not only filled. with books, but also various cars and Rubikâs cubes. In the corner of
the room, there was a telescope pointing out the window.

room.â
âHonestly, there are more toys in this room. I donât know what girlsâ toys are. So, if thereâs anything you want, donât hesitate to tell me, Princess.â
Emily chuckled at Frankâs regret. âI am alright, Mister Kind. With that many books, I can last a year. Moreover, there are colored pencils.â
After a nod, Frank turned to Louis. The toddler boy was still stunned.â How is it, Buddy? Is there anything missing?â
Louis smiled. âNo. Thank you, Mr. Harper.â
The CEO couldnât help but laugh. Louis didnât call him Mr. Grumpy
anymore.
âKara, how about we check your room now?â
The woman nodded languidly. She felt like she was lousy and no longer dared to argue. Now, she got to thinking. Was she selfish in keeping the twins with her and keeping them away from their father? Without her, they might have been accepted by Rowan and lived more
prosperously.
âDo you like your room?â
Kara blinked. Frank and the twins were waiting for her response. Even though she was uncomfortable getting a room next to the CEO, she still gave a small nod.
Thinking that the relationship between Frank and her mother had. progressed, Emily giggled. Meanwhile, Louis was wandering around.â Then, where is Grandrnaâs room?â
âDownstairs. Your grandmother said she wanted to avoid stairs.â
Emily nodded slowly. âThatâs better. Grandma is old. Her knees are

After a chuckle, Frank held out his hand to the twins. âNow, how about we meet your grandmother? She is in my library.â
âYou have a library?â Emilyâs face lit up.
Frank nodded. As they arrived there, he proudly showed a room with walls filled with books.
The twins were flabbergasted. Their eyes wandered here and there. When they found Susan near one of the shelves, their smiles widened.
âGrandma? Did Grandma organize all these books?â
Susan approached her grandchild. âNo, Emily, Grandma just labeled them and moved some books. Everything was neatly arranged from the start.â
Emilyâs mouth rounded. âIs there anything we can help?â
Susan shook her head. âItâs done.â
âSo, how are you, Grandma? Are you okay now?â Louis asked, longing for Susanâs attention too.
âGrandma is okay, Louis.â While stroking his grandsonâs cheek, Susan turned to her daughter. Kara noticed the stare.
âIâm fine, Mom.â
âThank God.â Susan smiled bitterly. âWeâre lucky that Mr. Harper is willing to provide us an emergency shelter.â
âIâm actually happy to help you, Mrs. Martin. Now, since itâs my day off, do you guys want to go cycling?â
Louis and Emily suddenly looked at each other. Their eyes lit up. However, remembering Louisâ injured left hand, their smiles faded.
âYou can play alone, Emily. Iâm fine,â Louis said wearily.
âBut itâs not fun if you just watch.â

âDonât worry, Kids. I have prepared something for Louis.â Frank smiled faintly.
The twins started to wonder. When they arrived at the back yard, excited screams immediately resounded. Louis instantly forgot his pride towards the CEO.
âEmily, check this out! This is the latest mini car! I must be really cool when I ride it.â
âAnd this bike is no less cool, Louis. Look! There is a helmet and knee protectors in the basket. And this ribbon⦠isnât it very pretty?â
Seeing the twinsâ excitement, Kara smiled a little. Frank seemed very sincere. He helped Louis into the car then put on safety gear for Emily.
âIsnât that guy very nice? Youâre lucky to know him, Kara.â
Hearing her motherâs whisper, the curve of Karaâs lips changed direction. Her chest was tight. She couldnât imagine Susanâs reaction if she found out the truth. It was the man who had ruined their lives.
Throughout the day, the twins spent time with Frank. They not only played, but also ate, bathed, chatted, and even went to bed together.
Kara could only muse as she sat on the back porch, staring at the stars. Her hot tea already turned cold, but she hadnât sipped it once. They are like real father and children. Was it a sin to separate them?â
Suddenly, a coat was placed on her shoulders. When she looked back, Frank gave her another form of warmth through his smile.
