Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

S21 6. My Patience Is Running Thin

“Mommy….” The twins hugged their mother’s legs.

Kara glanced over and smiled. “Hey, why are you guys here?”

“As expected, being kind to bad people is difficult. They’re too annoying, Mommy.”

“Yes. I almost cried earlier,” Emily rubbed her eyes as she had done before.

While cutting the tomatoes, Susan sighed. “What else can we do? They’re our family too.”

Kara gave a limited nod. Her hands casually turned over chicken meat in the frying pan.

“Yes. We have to be patient with them.”

“But my patience is very thin, Mommy. How can I bear to see their behavior?”

Kara put down the spatula and bent down to pat her son’s cheek. “By” being silent. If you

feel like getting angry or crying, just hold your

breath. Count to nine. No need to talk.”

“Why nine?” Emily tilted her head.

“If you want longer, that’s fine. But can you do it?”

The twins raised two hands together with one finger folded. “Okay, just nine.”

Kara laughed and ruffled the twins’ hair. “Want to help Mommy make

sandwiches?”

The two toddlers jumped happily. “Yeah!”

While the twins were cheerful again, Frank was still looking down. His

his face was the same as his shoulders-helpless.

Comply. THIS TVUN UIT

“Brother, are you sure you want to wait for them? Just eat. These

shrimps

os are much better than sandwiches and salad. Those two

dishes are too ordinary.”

Frank let out a faint breath. He was bored and lazy to talk.

Suddenly, a piece of prawn came to his plate. Frank gasped.

“Why are you so surprised? This isn’t the first time I put food on your plate. When you

were little, I always did this.”

Frank’s breath suddenly rumbled. While clenching his fists, he controlled his tone. “Did you

really forget, Mom? I can’t eat shrimp.”

The curve of Melanie’s lips pursed. After a few blinks, she sucked in air through her mouth.

“You’re also allergic to shrimp like your father? Gosh! I’m sorry, Frank.”

Barbara froze. She knew that expression. Her mother really panicked.

“Really, I’m sorry. Barbara was too enthusiastic about sharing her favorite food with you. I

forgot about your allergies.”

After swallowing the shrimp, Barbara added, “Yes, I’m sorry too, Brother. I really didn’t

know about your allergies. If I had known, I wouldn’t have suggested changing the menu.”

Frank smiled wryly. The two people didn’t hesitate to tease Kara the twins, but were

worried about offending him. What were they really planning?

“So, what have you been busy with lately? Do you have a stake in t company?”

Melanie and Barbara froze for a moment. The change of topic was too sudden.

“No. My father’s company is a mining company. That’s not a woman’s

field.”

Frank raised an eyebrow and nodded mysteriously. It turned out his

mother hadn’t changed. Smart but lazy. She just wanted to live happily without giving

some efforts. Barbara copied her footsteps.

“Then, what do you do every day?”

Melanie laughed faintly. “You’ve been secretly watching me all this time, Frank. You must

have known. Why are you still asking?” She tried to warm her voice, but it sounded

strange.

“Didn’t you come here to familiarize yourself with me? What’s wrong. with me asking

about your daily life?” Frank leaned back and

shrugged his shoulders.

Melanie pondered for a moment. After glancing at her daughter, she cleared her throat. “I

am busy taking care of the house. We don’t have as many servants as there are here. So, I

have many things to handle.”

“Is that so? Then what about you?” Frank glanced at Barbara.

The girl started to get nervous. “I… studied fashion design, but the teacher was not good.

She never respected my tastes and opinions. So I stopped.”

Frank pursed his lips and nodded. “Then, what do you do after that? You can’t just stay at

home, right? Laze around while looking at online. catalogues.”

Barbara’s expression changed. “Why did you ask that? We’re not having an interview.”

“Just want to get to know you better. I need to know whether you are worthy of being part

of the Harper family or not. I hope my half-sister is not lazy.”

“Brother!” Barbara suddenly stood up, pushing the chair back. “This is really outrageous.

If you don’t like me, there’s no need to be sarcastic like that. Just say it straight away!”

After stomping her feet, Barbara left the dining room. Melanie immediately became

furious.

“Frank, can’t you be nice to Barbara? She’s not someone else, but your

sister.”

Frank shrugged lightly. “Sorry, Mom. I just said it as it is.”

“You offended her! Why discuss worthiness? Do you want to be like your grandfather?”

Frank pursed his lips. “Even though Grandpa is gone, the Harper family’s standards must

still be maintained. But my way is different. What I see is not about material things, but

more about individual qualities.”

With a flat expression, Frank pointed his finger at the door Barbara had just passed

through. “Your little girl needs to be educated harder.”

Melanie snorted. “You were the one who was educated too hard.” While grumbling, she

chased Barbara.

Left alone at the dining table, Frank’s heart felt relieved. “Finally, I have a weapon to fight

them without being labeled a cruel son.”

Philip, who had been watching for a long time, also raised the corners of his lips. Those

two women really deserved to be taught a lesson.

Suddenly, the twins’ voices came from another door. “Daddy….”

Frank turned his head. At that very second, he was stunned. Louis and Emily walked

sideways like crabs. Their hands were holding a large plate.

“Sandwiches are coming!”

Their shoulders shook slightly. They wanted to giggle, but were afraid to drop the food.

Once they reached the table, Frank helped them place the plate safely.

“Wow, it’s really nice of you to bring me lunch. Thank you, Kids.”

The twins’ chubby cheeks rose with a smile.

“You’re welcome, Daddy.”

“Why is Daddy alone? Where are Grandma and the Pink Hair Auntie?”

Frank pointed to the door. “They’ve finished eating.”

A second later, he looked at the servant. “Nora, please set the shrimp plate over there.

Move the children’s chair here.”

The twins gasped in awe.

“Does it mean that we can eat together in peace?”

“Our plan didn’t fail, Emily!”

While the twins cheered in the dining room, Barbara slammed her

bedroom door. Melanie startled. Before her daughter locked herself in, she quickly broke

in.

“Barbara! What’s wrong with you? Can’t you control your emotion? you keep being like

this, we might fail to achieve our goal.”

‘But your son has gone too far, Mom. He dares to criticize me. know that I really don’t like

being judged, right?”

Melanie rubbed her daughter’s shoulder. “Remember, Darling. It’s n what other people say

that determines our quality, but ourselves. S you don’t need to worry about Frank’s words.

After all, you are still m most beautiful daughter.”

“Do you ever mind if I just stay at home? Are you embarrassed that I dropped out of

college and became unemployed?” Barbara lowered

“No, Darling.” Melanie smoothed her daughter’s hair. “I’m always

proud of you. You are my favorite child. I want you to get the best and live a decent life.

That’s why….”
