“Give me a chance, Kara,” Frank whispered pitifully. “Let me prove that I can make you happy. You have become the most important person in my life, as have the twins and your mother. I can protect you all.”
Kara looked down and closed her eyes again. She hated why she was
so weak.
“Hey,” Frank lifted her dropped chin with the side of his forefinger, “it’s okay if you’re afraid. That’s normal. But at least, don’t close your heart for me. There is still hope for us together. We can cultivate it.”
Kara stayed still, reading Frank’s expression. Finding no falsehood, she shook her head weakly. “I can’t. It’s too risky.”
Frank was stunned. His heart fluttered strangely. He was happy because Kara indirectly admitted her feelings. However, on the other hand, he was angry because his grandfather was still an obstacle.
“What if I could change things? Would you open your heart for me? Give me the chance to start all over again?”
Kara swallowed hard. She knew Frank would never give up.
“Prove it first. Until your grandfather withdraws his threat, I won’t give you anything, including promises or hopes.”
Frank’s lips curled up thinly. His head nodded. “Thank you, Kara. That’s enough for me.”
After sighing, Frank kissed those sad eyes. As Kara closed her eyes, he lightly moved the kiss to her sweet lips.
“Frank…” Kara frowned again and tried to pull away. However, her back already touched the cupboard. She couldn’t go anywhere. While Frank’s action was heating up, she could only keep up and wait until

swpped.
“Once you get out of here, don’t ever do that again,” Kara said in a shaky voice. Her shoulders were still rising and falling rapidly, compensating for the heat that continued to swirl in her lungs.
The corners of Frank’s lips curled higher. Even though Kara’s attitude was still cold, he at least saw the wider gap in her heart.
“After I get rid of all the obstacles, I can do it anytime, right?” he sighed, sounding confident. Kara was lost for words.
Sucking a deep breath, Frank took a step back. Deftly, he fastened the buttons he had previously removed.
Kara was about to refuse. However, before she could do so, Frank had moved his hand to caress her hair.
“Well, I’ll use it as additional motivation for me. Now, let’s go to work. Don’t worry about the guards. They won’t dare think anything wrong.”
Kara’s cheeks suddenly turned red. After straightening her hair and clothes, she followed Frank out of the room.
Throughout the day, Kara couldn’t hold her head up. He felt Frank’s imprint clearly written on her face.
Frank also didn’t dare to act recklessly. He just focused on getting the job done as quickly as possible. In his heart, he was grateful that Jeremy was not there when the intimate struggle occurred. Otherwise, the assistant would definitely make fun of him all day.

“Mr. Driver….”
Jeremy turned to the cute girl sitting cross-legged beside him. Susan was going out to buy food. He was trusted to look after the twins.
“Do you think Frank Harper is suitable to be our Daddy?”
The assistant blinked. His eyebrows rose to press against his forehead. “Why do you ask me that?”
