Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140 It's Not That Easy
"Frankie, why didn't you tell me? I'm so grateful you're safe."

Emily widened her eyes. After one blink, her cheeks puffed up and her brows furrowed. She let go of Frank's hand, then pushed the woman away.

"Sorry, Madam. You can't just hug anyone. Daddy is mine and Mommy's. Only we can hug him."

As the others got stunned, Louis chuckled, shaking his head. "Emily, don't you remember who she is?"

The little girl blinked. Her expression turned confused. "Who?"

"She's the doctor who treated you yesterday, Daddy's best friend. She also treated Mommy."

Emily's lips suddenly rounded. "Oh ...."

Slowly, she looked up. Frank was smiling, while the woman she had just pushed away shook her head in exasperation.

"Hello, Emily. Sorry, I didn't know you'd be mad about me hugging your dad. I'm just too happy he's safe."

Leaning closer to Frank, Emily smiled awkwardly. "Sorry, Doctor. I thought you were Daddy's fan."

"It's okay. If Frank was my dad, I would do so. You did great job, Emily."

After stroking the toddler's chubby cheek, Wela turned to her best friend. "So, why didn't you tell me? My brain was sluggish because I was worried about you. Luckily, our staff reported your arrival. Rony and I immediately rushed here."

"I'm too focused on my little family and someone. I even forgot I was missing yesterday," Frank answered as he got out of the elevator. Others followed his steps.

"Is that someone your grandfather? I heard he's getting better. What are you worried about?" Wela raised an eyebrow.

Frank sighed faintly. "Yes, his physique has improved, but his thinking hasn't."

Wela snorted slightly. She understood Frank's feelings. However, just as she was about to express her sympathy, another voice came on the air, "Frankie ...."

They looked to the side. A man was approaching with hasty steps. Without warning, he gave Frank a hug.

"Glad you're back. Are you okay?"

Instead of smiling, Frank grimaced. "You hurt my shoulder."

The twins stared wide eyed. Quickly, they pushed the man.

"Please step back, Sir! Our Daddy is in pain. Can't you see his arm is in a sling?"

Laughing, Wela pulled the man to her side. "Louis, Emily, let me introduce him. This is my husband, Rony. He is also your father's best friend."

"If he's a friend, why hurt Daddy? He should be more careful."

Hearing Emily's anxiety, Frank chuckled. "Thank you, Kids. You protect me well. My friends are a bit rude. Please keep an eye on them."

"Aye, Captain!"

Watching the toddlers' respectful gestures, Rony and Wela laughed together.

"So it's true. They are really adorable," Rony said.

"Should we make one now? I think it's time we divided our focus so we don't always think about work," Wela whispered, inviting Frank's glance.

"Sorry, Doctors. Can you be any wiser? My children are here."

Rony snorted faintly. "It wouldn't be Wela if she didn't speak her mind. So," he smiled at the twins, "Louis, Emily, nice to meet you."

"It’s nice to meet you too as long as you're more careful, Sir," Emily replied, so adorable.

After rubbing her chubby cheek, Rony glanced at Frank. "Where's their mother?"

"Mommy is in the car, discussing an important project," Louis answered with a serious expression.

"Frank," she touched her lover's arm, "how about we relax for a while and then have lunch? We can continue the discussion after that."

"But, I want to finish this serious conversation now, Kara. So, we can relax later."

Wela frowned. "How could you possibly relax with that much work?"

While Rony elbowed Wela, Frank furrowed his brows. "You mind helping us?"

Wela gasped and quickly waved her hand. "No. Absolutely not."

"Frank," Kara whispered again, softer, "why are you in such a hurry? This project has no deadline. Wouldn't it be better if we took care of the twins' birthday first?"

Frank shook his head slightly. "No, Kara. The sooner this project is launched, the sooner my grandfather can see your true value. Wouldn’t it be better if he already accepts you at the children's birthday?"

Kara was stunned for a moment. Then, with a soft sigh, she stroked his cheek. "Frank, we don't need to force ourselves. It's not that easy to change someone's opinion."

Frank's breathing turned heavy. His fists tightened. "I know it's not easy, but I'm sure Grandpa can change. He will definitely accept you as his granddaughter-in-law."

Kara smiled bitterly. "Yes, but slowly. It would be suspicious if he suddenly changed."

A second later, she grabbed his hand. Her gaze became softer and sadder. "Frank, this is my dream project. I want to do my best to make it happen. So, I don't want to be careless. Let's do it step by step, hmm?"

"But ...."

"Trust me, Frank," Kara interrupted politely. “I will be happier if I work while enjoying the process. And I would be calmer if your grandfather was willing to accept me not immediately. Let's just follow the rhythm, hmm?”

Frank didn't have the heart to push his ego. Taking a deep breath, he finally nodded. "I hope Grandpa can change his mind soon. That way, you won't have to be burdened for long."

Kara sweetened her smile. "With you, this burden feels light."

While Frank kissed Kara's forehead, the couple in front of them tried hard to stifle a laugh.
