Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father novel Chapter 106

“Louis and Emily haven’t called yet?” Frank asked quietly.

Kara turned to the pantry door. Seeing the CEO smile sadly, her eyebrows lowered even more. “Not yet. Looks like they’re mad at me.”

Frank nodded. As he stepped in, he checked Kara’s lunch. The salad was still intact. “Want to eat with me? I’ve finished negotiating with

the client.”

Kara shook her head wearily. Seeing that lackluster gesture, Frank’s

heart became even sadder.

“Kara….” He placed his hand on her shoulder. “I’m so sorry I dragged you into this. Kids shouldn’t be mad at you.”

Kara fell silent. She couldn’t lie if her heart wasn’t healed by those

words.

Frank’s tongue was getting numb. He could not bear the guilt any longer. “Kara, I promise, I will fix this. I will apologize to your mother and the children, explaining that they shouldn’t be angry with y

Kara still didn’t answer. Her head remained bowed with furrow

eyebrows.

Frank pulled a chair and sat next to her. Gently, he lifted her c their eyes met. “I mean it, Kara. I’ll explain that this isn’t your

“Are you okay if the twins hate you?”

Frank’s eyes suddenly dimmed. “About that…. I don’t know eithe They seemed very disappointed in me. I don’t know how I can get their attention again.”

Frank pursed his lips, silencing the sadness that rebelled to escape.

“You should have listened to my words, Frank. If only you didn’t

desperately defend me, the problem wouldn’t be this complicated,” Kara sighed softly.

Forcing a smile, Frank blinked softly. “Don’t think so, Kara. Let’s

consider that this problem exists to give me a chance. Once I manage to overcome it, we can finally be together.”

Kara snorted faintly. “You always say that.”

“We always have to say nice things. That way, the universe will know how much we want it.”

“Then the universe will support you? Kara raised an eyebrow.

Frank laughed slightly. “Yes, but your support still means the most to me. Therefore, do you want to accompany me this afternoon to meet your mother?”

Kara’s breathing suddenly turned heavy. “I think my mom is going to

court us.

“I can already imagine that. It seems like facing your mother will be more stressful than facing my grandfather.”

Kara shrugged briefly. “We will see later.”

To cover up his nervousness, Frank kissed Kara’s hand. In his heart, he was grateful. At least, there was one person who was still by his side this time.

As soon as their work was over, Frank and Kara went straight to the apartment. There was absolutely no smile on their faces. Both of them were too focused on relaxing their overly tense nerves.

“You ready?” Kara asked when they arrived at the door.

Frank swallowed hard, taking a deep breath. “I must.”

Not long after the door was knocked, Susan appeared with a dim look. Frank had never seen anyone so scary.

“Good evening, Mrs. Martin.” With an awkward movement, he showed the package in his hand. “I bring dinner for you and the kids.”

Kara was just as tense. She even held her breath. Her eyes secretly studied her mother. She had never seen that expression before.

“Kara, come in. There are serious things that we both have to discuss,

Susan said firmly. Her eyes were still pointed at Frank.

Not getting a response from Kara, Susan glanced at her. “Come in.” Her tone dropped drastically.

Kara’s lips trembled, but her feet were still. It wasn’t that she was
