Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father novel Chapter 40

40. Caught In the Act

“Hubby? I came all the way here, canceling the catwalk to arrange our wedding, but you greet me like this?”

Frank raised an eyebrow. A tall and slim woman had just pushed the door wider. She wore a bright red dress that showed off her smooth shoulders. A bag studded with crystals dangled from her slender fingers. The light reflection from it made Frank frown.

“We’re not married yet, so don’t call me that.”

While Kara froze in confusion, Isabela blinked in disbelief.

“What’s wrong with you, Hubby? We’re getting married soon. It’s

natural for me to call you that. Do you want me to keep calling you

Handsome?”

Frank snorted in amusement. His attitude made Kara furrow her eyebrows, especially as his arms wrapped around her more tightly.

“Every call from your mouth sounds bad,” Frank sighed thinly.

Isabela spontaneously clenched her jaw. How could Frank have the heart to be rude to her in front of strangers?

“Who is she? Why do you … keep hugging her? You do realize that your fiancee is here, right?”

Seeing the annoyance on Isabela’s face, Frank smiled. He had been caught off guard, so he had to go on. U-turn was not in his dictionary.

“She is my secretary and personal assistant.”

“Personal assistant? Don’t you already have Jeremy?” Isabela

muttered, shedding confusion. However, after a blink, she lifted her chin and returned her fierce look.

“Then why are you hugging her?”

Frank smiled slightly. He liked that question.

“She knew you would come back, so she planned to quit. I hug her to keep her by my side. I don’t want her to leave.”

Kara’s mouth opened wide. ‘He confessed his feelings for me in front of his future wife? Is he digging a hole for my grave?’

Suddenly, Isabela stepped forward and swung her hand. Kara wanted to defend herself, but her hands were still locked.

“Wait! You misunderstand!”

The next second, Kara closed her eyes. However, nothing happened. As she opened her eyes, she found Frank holding Isabela’s wrist, right

in front of her face.

“You dare hurt the woman I love?”

Kara’s heart exploded. She didn’t expect Frank to dare pour gasoline on the burning fire.

“Hubby!” Isabela screamed as she pulled her hand away. A second later, she pointed her finger at Frank’s nose. “Don’t mess up with me! I’ve sacrificed a lot for our marriage. You should respect me, not defend a cheap woman like this.”

Frank’s expression darkened. He brushed Isabela’s finger away from his sight. “Watch your mouth. Kara is not a cheap woman.”

“Sorry, Miss Isabela,” Kara interrupted as she pulled away from the CEO. “Mister Harper was just joking. It’s impossible for him to like a girl like me. He just wanted to test your reaction.”

“Shut your mouth! I don’t need your explanation!” Isabela’s rebuke made Kara flinch. A second later, the fashionable woman took out her folding phone. “I will report your actions to Grandpa.”

Kara was wide eyed. She looked at Frank in panic. However, the man looked relaxed.

“Sir, you can’t let that happen. I could really die,” Kara whispered as she shook Frank’s arm.

Unexpectedly, Frank put his arm around her waist. “Don’t worry, Kara. Nothing can separate our love. Let’s face this reality together.”

Isabela snorted. Putting the phone to her ear, she glared at Kara. ‘This woman is no match for me. This is truly an insult.’
