Chapter 98

“Yeay! We did it!” Emily jumped while throwing her fists. She was proud to see the top of the palace she made using an ice cream cone.

Louis’ face was no less sparkling. His toes kept tickling the ground. This work of art must be photographed. We must show it to Grandma later. Philip, do you have your phone?”

The young bodyguard showed the empty pocket of his shorts. “No, Young Master. But wait! I’ll take it.”

While Philip ran, signaling his partner to deliver the phone, the twins were busy admiring their palace.

“You are a great architect, Louis!”

“And you are a good builder, Emily. If my hand hadn’t been in a cast, we would have made a bigger castle.”

Unfortunately, just as Louis finished speaking, a flying ball hit the palace! Some of the sand collapsed.

“Louis, our castle….” Emily pouted.

Louis gaped at their damaged artwork. Feeling annoyed, he hugged the ball with one arm then looked around looking for the culprit.

At that moment, a man ran up to them. “Sorry, Little Brother. Can you return the ball? It’s ours.”

Louis looked at the stranger out of the upper corner of his eye. “You think you can get this ball easily? Look! You have destroyed our castle. My sister is almost crying.”

The man glanced at the small palace then laughed briefly. “Okay, I’m sorry. But we didn’t mean to destroy your toys at all.”

“Toys?” Louis’ voice became increasingly shrill. “This is a work of art. I designed it all night. You have to take responsibility!”

The man took a deep breath. After that, he looked at the twins with

disdain.

“Sorry, Little Kids. But I don’t have time for that. You guys can build it again, right? Besides, you’re lucky the ball didn’t hit your hand. If I were you, I’d just rest at home and not bother anyone else.”

Emily furrowed her eyebrows at the insinuation. “You can’t be rude, Sir. We are still children, while you are adults. You should give us a good example.”

The man snorted indifferently. He even bent down, trying to pick up the ball. However, Louis avoided him.

Suddenly, a voice greeted them. “Is there any problem?”

The twins looked over. Seeing Frank, they immediately reported what had happened. Frank’s jaw began to throb. Seeing that, the stranger let out another laugh.

“Sorry, Sir. Please don’t misunderstand. We’re playing volleyball. One of my friends accidentally hit too hard. The ball fell here. You agree that this was just an accident, right?”

“Even though it was unintentional, I believe you’re aware enough. about what you did and said towards my children. Why didn’t you apologize the right way? Instead, you insulted his hand?”

“Louis, Emily, are you okay?”

Hearing that soft voice, everyone looked over. It’s only then that Kara met the stranger’s eyes.

“Finnic?”

Kara gasped and her throat constricted. The figure in front of her

through her mind.

Seeing Kara’s shock, Frank furrowed his eyebrows. ‘Finnic…? Finnic Miller?’

With equally wide eyes, he studied the stranger. The man didn’t blink

at all. His shaking eyes were only focused on Kara.

“Kara?” Finnic sighed, breaking the silence. Slowly, a smile of disdain curved across his face. “I never thought we would meet here. This

world is so small, huh?”

Kara didn’t answer. She was still struggling to get out of her

awkwardness.

“Mommy knows this mister? He was the one who destroyed our castle. He also teased Louis’ hand,” Emily reported while holding her mother’s leg.

“Yes! He didn’t even apologize sincerely, and he doesn’t want to take responsibility. Mommy has to reprimand him,” Louis continued with pursed lips.

However, Kara still didn’t make a sound. Her trembling lips were too stiff to move. Her brain was still frozen by the past.

Suddenly, Finnic snorted. “I thought you left because you were heartbroken when you accepted my wedding invitation. Turns out, you moved to another city to find a new man?” He glanced at Frank with

an indifferent look.

Kara finally blinked and gathered her senses. After the tension faded, she stroked Louis’ hair and Emily’s shoulders.

“Little Bees, why don’t you take a rest? We can build a nicer castle later. Mommy will help.”

“No, Mommy. This mister was wrong. He must be responsible. And

Frank could see Kara’s face starting to turn pale. She was clearly confused about the situation that confronted her. She wanted to run

away from her ex, but her children forced her not to.

After taking a deep breath, Frank bent down, leveling his gaze with the twins. He had to intervene.

“Louis, Emily, I understand, you must be upset. But, there’s no point in you forcing this mister. If he doesn’t want to take responsibility or behave himself, that’s his decision. We can’t control other people’s behavior.”

The twins listened while biting their

lips. A moment later, Emily started sobbing. “We built a perfect castle earlier. But it was damaged before we could take some photos of it. Now, we have nothing to show Grandma anymore.”

Frank finally bent his knees. He took off Emily’s sunglasses then wiped her tears before they fell. “Don’t cry, Princess. You can still

show it to Grandma.”

A second later, Frank asked Philip for his phone. After putting his ow sunglasses on his head, he took a picture from an angle that covered the damaged side.

‘See? Doesn’t it look perfect?”

Emily studied the photo in silence, while Louis gave a small nod. ” Yeah, it looks cool.”

“Then you want to return the ball?”

Louis’ shoulders drooped listlessly. With puffed cheeks, he looked down. “Okay.”

Seeing her brother having difficulty handing the ball with one hand,

furrowed eyebrows.

Finnic snorted at such advice. However, when he was about to reply, he realized that the little girl had gray eyes.

‘Wait? She’s really Kara’s child? Why aren’t their eyes the same color?’

While remembering the color of Rolland’s eyes, he picked up the ball.

“Look, Mommy! This mister is really rude. He didn’t even say thank you after getting the ball back,” Louis muttered, sulking. He actually wasn’t willing to give in.

Kara was about to chime in. However, her tongue was still stiff.

Worried that the toddler would be disappointed, Frank held his

shoulder.

“Louis, it’s okay if he’s impolite. That’s his business. The important thing is you guys remain good kids.”

While Louis glanced at the stranger fiercely, Frank ruffled his hair. Then, his hand moved to Emily’s shoulder.

“And since you have been good children, you deserve a reward.”

In an instant, the faces of the toddlers turned bright. Even Louis n longer paid attention to his enemy.

“Reward?”

The corners of Frank’s lips lifted mysteriously. “Our mission on this beach is complete. We had a picnic and got this cool photo of the sand castle. Now, are you interested in seeing this beach from above?

The twins tilted their heads together.

“We’re going to fly?”

“Shall we go paragliding? But my hand is still in a cast.”
