Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father novel Chapter 353

S31 96. Leave It to Uncle Jeremy 

“Then this,” Eva handed her another smaller bag. “You didn’t think I forgot your birthday, did you?” 

Eva widened her smile then hugged Ava. “Happy birthday, Sister. Sorry I’m a day late.” 

Hearing that, Louis’ neck stretched. “It was Ava’s birthday yesterday? Why didn’t she tell us?” 

“And why is Uncle Jeremy keeping it a secret too?” Emily frowned. 

Guilt suddenly haunted Jeremy. He had missed Ava’s special day and even dragged her to the brink of death. 

“Sorry, I don’t know about that either.” 

“Ah, Uncle sucks,” Louis grumbled, inviting a small rebuke from Kara. 

Jeremy fell silent. Not because he was disturbed by Louis, but by Mrs. Connor. When Ava told her yesterday’s date, why didn’t she say congratulations? Was it because she was in a coma that she forgot her daughter’s birthday? 

Meanwhile, Eva had loosened her embrace. “I hope next year you will celebrate your birthday. A party once a year is not too much, Sister. I will definitely come.” 

A second later, Eva turned to face Jeremy. She didn’t care if Ava was overwhelmed by the embarrassment. 

“Sorry if my sister keeps her birthday a secret. She doesn’t like 

throwing parties. According to her, it’s a waste of money. In fact, with what you’ve done for our family, she shouldn’t mind treating. That’s why….”

Eva handed him the best shopping bag. “I bought this for you, Sir. I am very grateful that you are willing to accommodate Ava and our mother. Sorry if Ava’s attitude is unpleasant. She is a bit cold and 

stiff, but actually, her heart is good.” 

Jeremy stared at the bag in silence, He had no interest to receive it. But suddenly, Eva grabbed his hand and hung the bag strap on his fingers. Frank and his family were instantly stunned. 

“Please don’t look at the price, but look at the sincere intention. The shirt must look better on you.” Eva showed a smile that disgusted Jeremy. 

Ava also couldn’t stand seeing her sister’s behavior any longer. A taking a deep breath, she spoke while still looking down. “Please excuse me. And thank you for your gift.” 

Eva laughed a little. “Don’t exaggerate it, Sister. You don’t need to feel bad about me. I know your capability. I don’t mind that you’ve never given me a gift.” 

Ava planned to ignore it. However, when she was about to leave, Jeremy snorted faintly. 

“Sorry, I can’t accept this.” 

Eva blinked tensely. However, her lips still painted a smile. “I would be very sad if you refused this gift, Sir.” 

“Ava will be even sadder if I accept this.” 

The corners of Eva’s lips twitched slightly. “Why?” 

“I don’t understand how you judge Ava. But from my point of view, Ava is not cold or stiff at all. She is very kind and professional. That is what underlies our family’s decision to hire her services.” 

Eva let out a dry laugh. “Is that so?” 

“And because of that, we are determined to facilitate Mrs. Connor’s treatment. So, if you think your sister is incapable, you are very wrong. See how your mother’s treatment has paid off. It’s all thanks to her hard work.” 

While Eva gritted her teeth, Ava looked at Jeremy with teary eyes. Her chest was tight, full of warm air. That was the first time someone was willing to stand by her side, saving her from humiliation. 

“Ava, didn’t you say you wanted to continue your task?” Jeremy asked in a flat tone, but seemed gentle in Ava’s ears. 

The girl blinked. “Yes.” 

“Then let’s get out. I also have to take care of my work.” 

After returning the shopping bag to Eva, Jeremy left the room. Ava followed two steps behind him with an awkward gesture. The twins secretly giggled seeing that. 

“It turns out that Uncle Jeremy isn’t bad. He can also be a hero for Ava,” Louis whispered to Emily. 

The little girl nodded. “Yeah. Uncle Jeremy is cool!” 

“I think we should head out too. We still have a little work to do before dinner.” Kara tapped the twins on the back three times. 

The two toddlers nodded spontaneously. “Yeah. Excuse us, Mrs. Connor.” 

They didn’t mention Eva’s name. When they passed in front of her, they all just nodded. 

“Now, where did Uncle and Ava go?” Louis jumped in spy mode when he arrived in the living room. 

“I think Ava is hiding in her room. She must be sad.” Emily rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand, depicting how someone would cry.

Should we cheer her up?” 

“Or … what if we turn tonight’s party into a birthday party?” Louis 

suggested with round eyes. “Mommy, is there still time if we make a birthday cake?” 

Kara shook her head. “No.” 

“How about we just buy it? That’s much faster,” Emily pointed her finger at the side of her chubby cheek. 

Louis welcomed the idea enthusiastically. “Then let’s start decorating the dining room. Or should we prepare the back gazebo? But Mrs. Connor might have trouble getting there.” 

“Little Angels,” Kara interrupted gently, “I know you care about But for this problem, can you let Uncle Jeremy take care of it?” 

The twins blinked, digesting. 

“Is this adult business too?” Emily tilted her head. 

Kara nodded. “Right now, Ava is sensitive. So, just let Uncle Jeremy handle her. He understands her much better.” 

Instead of frowning, the twins smiled mysteriously. 

“That’s a great idea, Mommy.” 

“Uncle Jeremy can’t possibly let Ava be sad. He will definitely accompany and comfort her.” 

In her room, Ava sat pensively. Her gaze fell on the bags on her lap. She should be angry seeing all that. But strangely, her heartbeat actually felt pleasant. 

“Why did he defend me? Is it because we are already friends? Don’t friends usually defend each other?” 

Tilting her head, Ava bit her lip. “But, is it okay to let other people
