Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father novel Chapter 268

S31 11. Diana’s Pain 

“Just like you, I also really loved my husband.” Diana’s voice was thin and hoarse. However, she still continued. 

“Before I got married, I was a career woman like you, but I was much worse. All I could do was work, dress up, and go shopping. But after getting married, I put all my determination into changing.” 

A bitter laugh escaped Diana’s wrinkled lips. “I learned to cook, take care of the house, and take care of my son. I thought that way, my husband would be happy and love me more. But what happened?” 

She shook her head slowly. A single tear passed from the edge. 

“That man just wanted the benefits she could get from me. He loved his job more, his success. And that really hurt my feelings.” 

Diana turned to Sophia. She didn’t care if her red eyes showed. 

“He never appreciated my hard work, He would rather eat with his clients than with me. And he would rather go on business trips than travel with me. You know what he said when I was outspoken, asking 

for his attention?” 

Sophia shook her head awkwardly. 

“He said he married me because I was an independent woman and a career woman. He thought I could give him good offspring and could understand his love for business. He needed support and understanding from me to make him progress, not the spoiled side like most women. Of course I was furious. I was disappointed.” 

“Oh, Grandma,” Sophia held Diana’s hand tightly. However, Diana’s emotions had already overflowed. 

“I couldn’t stand it anymore at that time. I asked him for a divorce. Do

you know how he reacted? Instead of feeling afraid or guilty, he was getting angry. He called me unlucky and even challenged me to fight for custody of the child. What’s worse, his family also cornered me.” 

Diana swallowed hard. After taking a deep breath, her voice grew 

shakier. 

“He swore he wouldn’t let Norman be raised by a spoiled woman who couldn’t see the future. And apparently, I lost. He took Norman from me and that was the last time I saw my poor son.” 

Sophia rubbed Diana’s back. The old woman was shaking all over. However, she wasn’t finished with her story yet. 

“I realized that I was too weak and stupid. Either because I had loved him, decided to marry him, or filed for divorce from him. I was helpless. The only thing I could do was stay away and disappear. For the rest of my life, I didn’t want to deal with Harper again.” 

Diana burst into tears. Sophia quickly pulled her into a hug. 

“Oh, Grandma, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t make you remember that again. Now it’s all over. You don’t need to be afraid.” 

“But that child is back, Sophia. He reminds me of his grandfather, of his father who probably thought I was a bad mother.” 

Sophia whispered, rubbing Diana’s back faster. “No, Grandma. You are a good parent. Everyone knows that.” 

“But not Norman. Even after he died, he still thought I was a failure as a parent. I didn’t even attend his funeral.” 

Sophia couldn’t speak anymore. While hugging Diana, she glanced towards the back yard. The people there were looking at them questioningly. She was relieved that Frank was also paying attention. 

“Daddy, why is Grandma crying?” Emily looked up, pressing the top of her head against her father’s chest. 

“I don’t know, Princess. Let’s not talk about it, hmm? Now, where is your story going? Did you promise to meet again when you grow up?” 

“Yeah,” Emily nodded. Her hands were pressed together on her lap. ” But I don’t know whether Cayden will keep his promise or not.” 

While the others help the twins not be attracted by Diana’s cries, Frank silently pondered. He had a bad feeling about his 

grandmother’s sadness. Moreover, the person who accommodated her was Sophia-a woman who was very likely to hold a grudge. against Kara. 

After their picnic, they moved to the stables. The twins were so excited to help Abigail brush the horse’s hair. Kara was a little wary watching them. 

Barbara faithfully accompanied Philip to ensure the water supply in each stable was safe, while Frank was busy moving the bales of hay. Even though the workers told them not to, they still insisted on 

helping. 

“Hi,” Sophia suddenly approached Frank with her sweet graceful smile, “where are the others?” 

Frank raised an eyebrow. “Carry out their respective duties.” Without waiting for a reply, he carried another bale of hay to the stacks. 

“Can I help you?” Sophia followed his steps. 

Frank shrugged. After slamming the bale into the stack, he returned to the tractor. Sophia could feel his dark aura. 

“Are you mad at me?” 

Frank didn’t answer until he came back with another bale. “What do 

you care?” 

“You are my role model. I admire your business skills. I feel

uncomfortable if my idol hates me: 

“Then you shouldn’t make things-difficult for my wife.” 

Frank walked away again. However, this time, Sophia trailed. 

“I’m not making things difficult for Kara. I’m actually helping her.” 

“Helping him to make Grandma dislike her even more?” Frank’s gaze grew colder. 

“You know that your grandmother is stubborn, right?”
