“You said you've written down our wishes, right? How about we just add the things we want from Great Grandpa? Hopefully that will make him aware that we expect his presence. We are still one family.”Frank was stunned to hear Emily's words. Those words felt tickling in his chest.Realizing her lover's emotion, Kara reached out and stroked his cheek. “If you can change, your grandfather can too. Just have a little more patience, Frank. I'm sure he will accept Louis and Emily."Frank took Kara's hand and kissed it. “Thank you, Queen Bee.”"Stop calling me that," Kara said, frowning cutely.Frank laughed faintly. He did not dare to express his emotion. Actually, it wasn't the twins he worried about. They were genius and talented. It was easy for them to win Rowan's heart.But Kara? How to make Rowan acknowledge her qualities? The old man was a perfectionist who always judged everything based on titles, achievements, and potential. Should Frank hand over one of the projects to Kara so Row
“I’m fine,” Rowan said firmly, “much better. My grandson is back. I have nothing to fear anymore.” Frank nodded, smiling. He had expected that the awkwardness between them would not be gone for long. Suddenly, the door opened again. A second later, two tiny faces peeked out from the gap. "Can we go in now?" Louis whispered. "No, Louis. Let's just wait for Daddy's signal." Hearing that little conversation, Frank's stiffness faded. Taking a deep breath, he patted the back of Rowan's hand. “Grandpa, you have two more visitors.” "Who?" Rowan's eyes widened. He was a little afraid that the person was Kara. His heart could be in danger against the anger. Frank walked towards the door. As soon as he pulled the handle, two toddlers stared wide eyed. "Can we come in?" Louis whispered with an adorable expression. Emily who was standing in front of him subconsciously gripped the book and held her breath. Frank sweetened his face and nodded. "Come in, Kids. Say hello to your great-grandf
Emily looked back at Rowan. “Then, do you want to come to our birthday party, Great Grandpa? We haven't planned the details yet, but I guarantee it will be a fun party. This time, Louis and I each will get a birthday cake. But we will still blow out the candles together.” "Emily’s right!" Louis continued as he shifted closer. The twinkle in his eyes grew brighter. “I can imagine there will be lots of food and games. We're going to have fun. Then, we will take a photo together. There's me, Emily, Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, and Great Grandpa!" As the twins continued to chatter, Rowan closed the book roughly. The sound jolted the toddlers. “Kids, are you proud to be part of the Harper family?” Hearing that serious tone, Frank's back straightened. His breath hitched. The grandfather's expression was displeased again. Could his worries be real now? While the twins blinked in surprise, Rowan straightened his finger. "You should know one thing. Being part of the Harper family is not only a
"Frankie, why didn't you tell me? I'm so grateful you're safe." Emily widened her eyes. After one blink, her cheeks puffed up and her brows furrowed. She let go of Frank's hand, then pushed the woman away. "Sorry, Madam. You can't just hug anyone. Daddy is mine and Mommy's. Only we can hug him." As the others got stunned, Louis chuckled, shaking his head. "Emily, don't you remember who she is?" The little girl blinked. Her expression turned confused. "Who?" "She's the doctor who treated you yesterday, Daddy's best friend. She also treated Mommy." Emily's lips suddenly rounded. "Oh ...." Slowly, she looked up. Frank was smiling, while the woman she had just pushed away shook her head in exasperation. "Hello, Emily. Sorry, I didn't know you'd be mad about me hugging your dad. I'm just too happy he's safe." Leaning closer to Frank, Emily smiled awkwardly. "Sorry, Doctor. I thought you were Daddy's fan." "It's okay. If Frank was my dad, I would do so. You did great job, Emily."
"Isn't this a very beautiful sight, Rony? Our Frankie has finally found his true love." Wela leaned on her husband's shoulder. "Yes, very beautiful. You're not afraid that the title of best couple being taken by them, right?" Wela frowned. "Of course not. We're still number one. Let them be number two." Without warning, she kissed Rony's lips tenderly. Before they were eaten by desire, Jeremy cleared his throat. "Excuse me. How long will you be in the limousine? The twins are still waiting at the door." Kara raised her eyebrows. "They haven't entered the house yet?" She got off the limo quickly. As it turned out that the twins were not waiting, but chatting with a guest. When they saw Kara, they jumped up and down waving. "Mommy, look! Who's coming?" "Mrs. Bell?" Kara was stunned. It had been a long time since she saw her favorite commissioner. "Hello, Miss Martin. Nice to see you again." The woman smiled sadly. A second later, her gaze turned to the man behind Kara. "Frank .
"Because tomorrow is your birthday, Mommy and Daddy want to give you the most beautiful gifts." Louis and Emily opened their mouth widely. As their eyes met, the laughter escaped lightly. "What did Mommy and Daddy prepare for us?" Louis whispered enthusiastically. “Is it food or a toy or a beautiful dress? But why do we have to go to get it?” Emily shook her head quickly so her chubby cheeks wiggled cutely. “We want to make each of your greatest wishes come true,” Frank said, drawing attention again. The twins' eyebrows pressed closer to their foreheads. “What is it, Daddy?” “Let’s get ready and find out what it is.” Frank smiled mysteriously. “Okay, Daddy!” The twins rushed to their rooms. Their happiness was loud as they got ready. When they found a new car parked in front of the mansion, their jaws dropped. "Isn't that the fastest 4-seater car in the world?" Louis asked in a high-pitched voice. Frank smiled and ruffled his son's hair. “That's right, Buddy.” Still gawking
“Oh, the live broadcast of that grand wedding?” Kara pricked up her ears. Hugging herself, she prepared her heart. “I wonder why Frank Harper chose her. Frank is a perfect man, while she is ... way under par. Look, her appearance is so ordinary. Frank must be ashamed of her.” “Could it be that Frank proposed because of the twins? He had no choice? Or could it be that Frank is already captivated by her performance in bed? She is not beautiful, not rich, and not famous. What other value would she have if not that?" Kara subconsciously clenched her jaw. Her breathing turned heavy. Before her blood rose any higher, she continued walking. “What's wrong with the people here? Why do they like commenting on other people so much? Once again I hear someone insulting me, I will plug their mouths with their own words," she grumbled with furrowed eyebrows. However, after a few steps, she took a quick breath. ‘No! I can't be influenced. Today is our happy day. I can't let anyone else ruin it.
"Do you think Isabela is more suitable to be with Frank and be the mother of my children?" Kara sounded annoyed. "Oh, definitely not. She’s a failure. It's too risky to bring her into the Harper family. I'll find another woman much classier than you for my grandson." Kara laughed bitterly. Her head shook in disbelief. "What makes you hate me so much? Is it because I'm not as rich as you?" "You're not only poor, but you also don't have talent, a big name, or a future. What will our company become if you are Mrs. Harper? Instead of bringing Savior to the top, you will become a burden. Your existence is nothing more than the dirt on Harper and Savior's good names." "What if your assumption is wrong? What if I can prove that my contribution to the Savior is also useful? What if I can make Harper's name even more prominent?" Rowan snorted quickly. The insult was so thick in the vibrations of his laughter. "You are very narcissistic, apparently. Be careful, Miss Martin. People who they
Philip rushed in and grabbed Barbara's hand. Before he could say anything, Barbara was pushing again. After Briony came out, Barbara breathed a sigh of relief. “Philip .... Our child has been born.”Even though his head was nodding, Philip blinked in confusion. His mouth was agape, not knowing how to respond. "Yes ...," he sighed after a few moments. Briony's cries helped him regain his senses. "Wow," Philip blinked. He bent down, stroking his wife's hair with mixed feelings. "You're so great, Babe. You can give birth that fast." Barbara smiled proudly. "Our efforts weren't in vain, Phil. I was actually scared earlier. Briony's urge was very strong. But Louis and Emily forbade me to push. I tried to hold it in until finally, I gave in." Philip sighed in amazement and disbelief. Still looking stiff, he kissed Barbara's temple. "You're amazing, Babe. I'm glad you didn't encounter any major difficulties." Philip wiped the tears from her face. "I'm happy too. But where were you? I to
"Louis, Auntie is about to give birth!" Emily rose with a high arch of her eyebrows. "You’re right! We have to take her to the hospital!" Wasting no time, Louis grabbed Barbara's hand, pulling her to turn around. "Come on, Auntie. Let's go back to the car." However, Barbara shook her head. Her face was pale, her body tense. Her feet seemed to be glued to the earth. "What's wrong, Auntie?" "Call Philip," she muttered softly. "What?" "Call Philip!" The twins flinched. After one nod, they ran towards Philip. "Uncle Philip! Uncle Philip!" "Hey, where are you guys going?" Barbara exclaimed again. The twins braked. When they looked back, Barbara was waving. "Why did you leave me here alone?" Her voice was shrill. "You told us to call Uncle Philip!" Louis shook his head, not understanding. "Yeah, but don't leave me here." While limping, she inched closer to Louis and Emily. "One person calls him. One more person, hold me!" The twins blinked. Not because they didn't understand, b
"Hello, Orion," Emily whispered as the tiny baby in the box opened his eyes. Her hand reached out, trying to reach his chubby cheek. From the other side of the box, Louis also looked inside. "Hello, Oscar." "Louis?" Emily scolded with round eyes. "Why do you call him Oscar? This is our first meeting with him. Don't make a bad impression." Louis pursed his lips. "Okay, sorry. I'm used to it. Let me repeat." After clearing his throat, he looked down again. "Hello, Orion. It's me, Louis. I'm your cousin." Emily smiled slightly and nodded. "That's just right." After giving Louis thumbs up, she waved her hand downwards. "And I'm Emily. Nice to meet you, Orion." For a few moments, the two toddlers were busy observing Orion. Philip and Barbara were amused by their comments. "It turns out that Uncle Philip was right. Orion looks like both of his parents. His eyes are like Auntie's, while his nose and mouth are like Uncle's." "His chin also looks like Uncle’s, but his hair looks like
A nurse tried to calm Ava. However, the woman still shook her head, rejecting all the words directed at her. She was very weak. The pain seemed to knock out all the bones in her body. Her brain could no longer function normally. "No. I have no strength anymore. I can't continue." After taking a heavy breath, Jeremy bowed. The nurse had shifted. Jeremy had more freedom to stroke Ava's hair which was wet with sweat and her face which was flooded with tears. "Ava, can you hear me? Ava?" Their gazes finally met. Jeremy could see the desperation in those brown eyes. "I can't take it anymore, Jeremy. I can't. Let the doctor take it out. I can't take it anymore." Jeremy's chest felt like it had been torn apart. He almost choked with pain. Stroking Ava's shoulder, he shook his head. "No, I know you. You're not someone who never gives up, Ava. You can do it." "But I don't have the energy anymore, Jeremy." "There is. There definitely is." Jeremy grabbed Ava's shaking fingers. "This is f
"Look at this, Brandon." Louis placed a stack of photo paper on the table. Then, he showed them one by one to his friend. "This is a picture of Russell crying. This is a picture of him laughing. And this is a picture of Russell being angry." "Can babies get angry? Isn't he still too young to understand anything?" Brandon shook his head faintly. Louis shrugged. "I don't know about that. But when Russell sees something he doesn't like, his hands keep flapping and his mouth makes sounds ...." Louis imitated a baby's moan which made the librarian glance. "Russell also has sharp eyes, Brandon. If he feels annoyed by us, he will glare while furrowing his eyebrows." Emily touched the base of her eyebrows, checking to see if they were the same shape as Russell's eyebrows in the picture. Brandon smiled at Emily's expression. "I think he must be really cute when he's angry." "Yes!" Emily nodded quickly. "He's always cute, all the time. Louis, show him a picture of Russell in the shower."
"Oh, look at Russell, Louis. Isn't he very handsome? He's clean and smells good." Emily put her nose closer to Russell's face. When she managed to kiss that very soft cheek, she giggled holding back her laughter. She didn't want to disturb Kara who was sleeping in Frank's arms. "Yes, he is very handsome. He looks like me. Isn't that right, Grandma?" Louis raised his gaze towards the woman holding Russell. Susan smiled amusedly. "Yes, he looks like you. Only his nose is a little sharper." Louis' lips immediately pursed. His forefinger pointed at his own nose. "How sharp do you want Russell's nose to be? My nose is already very sharp." Susan chuckled at Louis' answer. "I’m just joking, Louis. It doesn't matter whose nose is sharper. What's important is that you're both healthy." Louis nodded in agreement. His hands then rose to touch the baby's feet. "Grandma, is Russell heavy?" Susan raised her eyebrows. "Do you want to carry him?" Louis glanced at Emily. "How about you try fir
"Hello, Good Boy," Kara held Russell carefully, as if the little creature was a very fragile pearl. Tears could not stop running down her face. After kissing the baby who was covered in a towel, Kara whispered again, "This is Mommy, Russell. I'm happy that I can finally hug you like this." While biting his lips, Frank also bowed. He stroked the tiny back then kissed his head. "And this is Daddy, Russell. Daddy is also happy that you are finally here." Still with a wide smile and red eyes, Frank looked at Kara gently. Before the pool of emotion dripped again, he quickly kissed her forehead. Kara closed her eyes accepting the warmth. "Thank you for giving birth to our son, Queen Bee," Frank whispered hoarsely. Kara smiled wider and nodded faintly. "Thank you for accompanying me here." "That's what I should have done a long time ago." Frank stroked her cheek before kissing her again. "Daddy, we want to see Russell too! Can we come closer?" Emily asked, jumping a little on the chai
Kara was sitting on the bed. Her head rested on the broad shoulder next to her. Closing her eyes, she tried to catch her breath."Is there any news from the Twins?" she asked quietly. Frank shook his head. His hands kept to massage Kara's fingers. "You don't need to worry about them, Queen Bee. They are independent and intelligent children. They will understand that you have to give birth soon. Let's celebrate their birthday after Russell is born, hmm?" After a short nod, Kara turned her head further. "Are you crying?" Frank's eyebrows pulled together. Moving his head away so that it would be easier to see her, he shook his head. "Why do you think I'm crying?" "Your voice is shaky, Frank." Pursing his lips, Frank took a deep breath. "I'm not crying." "Then why are your eyes red and watery?" Frank blinked firmly. "I'm not crying," he repeated with more emphasis. Still out of breath, Kara let out a laugh. Her head tilted slightly, waiting for his tears to fall. "Are you sure?"
"Hello, Brandon. Welcome to our event," Louis shook his classmate's hand. "Hello, Louis. Happy birthday. I hope you live a long and healthy life," the blonde boy said, occasionally glancing at Emily. "Thank you, Brandon. Did you come alone?" Brandon nodded. "Yes, my parents had to attend another event. So, only the driver took me here." After one blink, Brandon offered his hand to Emily. "Happy birthday too, Emily. You're so beautiful tonight." Emily shook Brandon's hand with a sweet smile. "Thanks, Brandon. You also look cool tonight. The jacket suits you." Brandon blushed. His lips twitched to suppress the excitement in his chest. "Thank you, Emily. I deliberately asked my mother to look for the best outfit. I want to look cool at this event." "Your mom has a good sense of fashion," Emily nodded before glancing to the side. "Louis, I think you should try a regular tie like Brandon. You're five years old. It's time for you to leave that bow tie behind. You should try somethin
