Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father novel Chapter 274

S31 17. Troublemaker 

After a brief silence, Frank caught the sound of footsteps. “You’re back? Why so fast?” 

He turned around with a ‘smile. But a second later, his face turned 

cold. 

“Hi,” Sophia approached with awkward movements. “Where are the others?” 

Frank’s jaw shifted slightly, making an unfriendly impression. He was starting to get sick of that question, even though he had only heard it twice from Sophia. 

“What are you doing here?” he asked, sounded annoyed. 

“I want to help.” Sophia shrugged. 

Frank snorted. “If you’re just seeking for attention, you’re better not to. 

Sophia smiled wryly. “Are you angry with me?” 

Frank didn’t answer. He returned his focus on the potato in his hand. 

“I heard Kara has a fever. Is she better?” 

Frank let out a light laugh. “Why ask something that’s certain? She hasn’t had time to rest yet. How could it be that she’s getting better?” 

“Sorry. I actually wanted to help Kara earlier, but Grandma told me not to.” 

“Yeah, yeah,” Frank replied lazily, “you feel bad seeing Kara working hard all by herself, right?” 

Sophia touched Frank’s arm. “Please, Frank. I’m really sorry. I’m also

sad to see Kara have a fever.” 

Frank suddenly grabbed her arm. His gaze grew cynical. “Don’t you dare touch me. You are not my wife, 

Sophia pursed her mouth and withdrew her hand quickly. “Sorry. But I’m not lying, Frank. I care about Kara.” 

Frank put the knife on the table. Then, the look in his eyes dug deeper into Sophia. “Then prove it. Don’t just talk.” 

“I’ve tried to prove it. You were the one who refused, remember? Or have you changed your mind? Do you want me to set up a time for you and Grandma?” 

Frank shook his head faintly. “I don’t need your help.” 

“Trust me, Frank. I just want you and Grandma to make peace. I can persuade her in that way.” 

Suddenly, someone replied, “Really? How confident are you that you can influence Diana Johnson?” 

Frank and Sophia turned towards the door. Jeremy was already standing with his legs crossed, leaning against the wall. Sophia almost snorted. 

“It’s this guy again. Why does he like to mess around so much?” she cursed in her heart. However, after one blink, her expression turned 

sad. 

“Jeremy, you doubt me too?” Her tone was like someone who was 

hurt. 

“Diana Johnson has just known you and you are not even her relative. What reason does she have to let you influence her?” 

“Because we are close. I can feel a strong inner bond with her.” 

“Is that so?” Jeremy raised his eyebrows slightly. After pressing his 

chin to his lips, he nodded. “You two do look familiar. But in my opinión, there is someone else who is more suitable to mediate between Frank with his grandmother.” 

Sophia did her best to keep her facial expression from changing.” Who?”

“Philip. He’s from Diana Johnson’s orphanage. The bond between them is definitely stronger.” 

The corner of Sophia’s lips lifted mysteriously. “Philip? Are you sure he can persuade Grandma to make peace with Frank?” She sounded dismissive. 

Jeremy straightened up from the wall. “Why? Are you jealous? You sound unhappy that someone else is closer to Grandma than you.” 

The curve of Sophia’s lips turned stiff. “No. Why are you accusing me of being jealous?” 

“I’m not accusing, just judging from your movements and tone.” 

Sophia let out a faint sigh. “I’m not a child, Mister Jeremy. I’m actually happy that many people are close to Grandma. That means I’m not the only one who can be a place for her to talk and complain.” 

“So, you admit that you are the only special person for Diana Johnson?” 

“Jeremy,” Frank interrupted. He was already busy peeling potatoes again. “If you two want to argue, please continue somewhere else. Or just book a table at the nearest restaurant. You will definitely be mistaken for two lovers.” 

“Lovers?” Sophia was clearly not happy. 

“Don’t lovers sometimes fight? Kara and I also had conflicts before we got married.” Frank shrugged, seeming nonchalant.

Jeremy laughed cynically. “Sorry, Frank. I know you hope to get a 

nephew from me soon. But I still have to maintain my standards. This woman is not my taste.” 

Sophia could not help but frown. “Did you just insult me?” 

“No. I’m just saying that you don’t meet my standards. It doesn’t mean you’re ugly or below standard. Just not up to par.” 

Sophia grimaced. Annoyance almost wiped her elegance clean. However, when she was about to argue politely, Philip came again. This time, his expression was confused. 

“Sorry, did I interrupt?” 

Frank shook his head. “What is it?” 

“Did you guys see Abigail? I need a ladder. Barbara could go up, but she can’t get down from the tree.” 

Holding their amusement, Frank and Jeremy moved from their 

positions. Meanwhile, at the outside of the inn, the twins were taking care of Barbara. 

“Auntie, hang in there! Philip will be here soon.” 

“Watch out, Auntie! Don’t touch that branch! Frozen trees are more fragile!” 

Barbara’s face grew creased. “Don’t scare me, Louis! Can’t you calm me down like Emily?” 

“I’m telling the truth. I heard that trees are more fragile in winter. Some trees even break because they can’t stand the weight of the
