Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father novel Chapter 177

Chapter 177 S2| Mother In-law
"Sorry I didn't attend your wedding. I didn't get any news at that time." Melanie raised an eyebrow.

The curve of Kara's lips froze. After a moment of silence, she nodded. "It's okay, Mom. It was our fault that we missed you from the invitation list."

Melanie's cheeks twitched slightly. She didn't expect her daughter-in-law to dare answer like that.

"I've always wondered what it would be like to chat with my daughter-in-law. Do you have time? How about we chat outside?"

The invitation sounded like a challenge. Kara accepted it with a small nod even though her heart was pounding violently.

Arriving at the upper balcony, the two of them sat flanking a table.

"Would you like something to drink, Mom? Tea, perhaps?" Kara took out her cell phone, preparing to send a message to Nora.

"When did you first meet my son?" Melanie threw a new question. While Kara was stunned, she added, "I really can't wait to find out how my son fell in love with you."

Kara blinked for a moment. Knowing her mother-in-law's true intention, she lowered her phone and straightened her back.

"We met by accident."

Melanie suddenly covered her mouth with one hand. "So, the incident was true? I think the media is exaggerating to bring Frank down. So, my son married you because he was forced to? For the sake of your children?"

Kara took a deep breath. Her face looked firm.

"The incident was true. We met because we were set up. But one thing you should know, we didn't get married because we were forced to."

Melanie snorted faintly. Her eyes were disdainful. "Really?"

"Frank fell in love with me before he knew about our children. If you don't believe it, just ask him, his assistant, or the bodyguards. They would agree that Frank was the one who’s desperate to win my heart."

The curve of Melanie's lips turned downwards. A second later, she sneered. "I didn't expect you to be so confident."

"I'm not confident, but rather conveying the facts. You need to know that our marriage is not forced. We love each other and will never be separated."

Melanie's lips began to tremble. Her cheeks twitched, trying to suppress it.

"You know what? I used to think like that too. I thought Frank's father really loved me. But as it turned out?"

Melanie let out a barren laugh. "You know the facts. I wasn’t Norman's only woman. Even though I had given him a son, his heart was still split."

Suddenly, Melanie leaned closer. Her voice dropped drastically. "If I may make a suggestion, don't be too sure. Infidelity can pass down to the child. Frank may have another. Now or later."

Kara replied with a small smile. "Frank is different from his father."

"How do you know? You've never met Norman."

"I often hear stories about him," Kara said firmly.

"From Frank's mouth?" Melanie's lips curved crookedly. "Doesn't it mean he could have manipulated the story?"

Kara suddenly fell silent. She didn't know how to argue. She had no strong evidence yet.

"I'm not demeaning my own son. But, as a fellow woman, I want to remind you. Don't let you suffer the same pain as me before."

"Well then," Kara tilted her head, "do you have any other suggestions? What should I do so that Frank doesn't repeat his father's mistakes?"

Melanie chuckled. "Nothing. Just accept your fate. Moreover, you come from a poor family. Your background is bleak, your qualities are lacking."

While Kara tried to keep smiling, Melanie narrowed her eyes. "You are nothing without Rowan's inheritance. You are rich because of his influence. So, prepare yourself if one day, Frank finds a woman who shines more than you. You will definitely be abandoned."

‘How can I have such a mother-in-law?’
