Kara had been sitting in front of the laptop for several hours, collecting job vacancy information. However, none of them matched her qualifications.

Her status as a single parent of two children was clearly not an advantage, let alone the bad note that Finnic deliberately left on her resume.

“Should I contact Ben Wilson? I can volunteer to be a waiter at his restaurant. Maybe, he would accept me for the sake of the twins.”

After a blink, Kara looked for Ben's business card in her bag. But then, she remembered. She tucked the card in a notebook on her desk.

"Should I go get it? My things are still there too."

Kara crossed her arms and tapped her elbow with her pen. As far as she remembered, Frank had a schedule outside the office.

“Okay. I just need to do it before Frank gets back to the office.” She rushed over.

Arriving on the 10th floor of the Savior Group Building, Kara let out a sigh of relief. There were no guards there. Thinking that Frank wasn't there either, she walked

    "Wait. You haven't explained why you helped me? I know you hate me. Why don't you just let me die?” Frank inquired in a small voice. Kara was silent for a moment. The, little by little, her lips curved sadly. “I was once abandoned when I fell into a very deep abyss. No one wanted to give me a rope. I was forced to endure darkness and fear alone, until I finally crawled out of there myself.” Frank swallowed hard. His throat suddenly became dry and his chest became tight. It was as if he could see Kara's wounds through those dim eyes. Occasionally, he felt that there was hatred in it. "Therefore, please don't accuse me of all kinds of things. I will not ask for payment. I just don't want anyone else to feel the same misery. It is very painful." Averting her gaze, Kara hugged herself. She was afraid that her voice would become hoarse if she said more. “Now excuse me. I have other business." "Wait!" Kara's steps stopped again. However, she didn't turn around. She worried that Fran

    "Of course. Isn't that our agreement?" Smiling crookedly, Frank returned to his room. Kara blinked at her stupidity. She thought her position was only secretary because Frank didn't ask for bed services anymore. But apparently, she still had to provide other services. “Gosh, I'm the hero. Why does he still have the heart to bully me?” Kara sighed helplessly. However, after exhaling quickly, she pursed her lips and nodded. ‘But it's okay. My salary has doubled. The welfare of the twins can be guaranteed now.’ She clenched her fist and jerked it into the air. “Yeah, I have to work harder.” When office work hour was over, Kara followed Frank home. She got goosebumps when she saw the CEO's bed. Secretly, she was grateful that the man didn't drag her again. While Frank was in the shower, Kara finally had the chance to call the twins. Even though they had to whisper, the children were still happy. "So, that evil CEO accepted Mommy to work again?" Louis asked in disbelief. Kara smiled

    "Are you afraid?" Frank teased while smiling faintly. "Of course I am! Don’t you?" If the bees were as cute as Louis and Emily, Kara wouldn't feel threatened. However, the winged insects were equipped with stinger and there were millions of them. Kara remembered the twins' story about two types of bees, the European Honey Bee and the Africanized Honey Bee. Louis and Emily agreed that they preferred European bees. “African bees are bad, Mommy. They are more aggressive and attack simultaneously. Many people have died from being stung by them. We don't like killer bees like that.” Louis' voice rang in her head. Kara involuntarily shuddered in horror. “What kind of bees is bred here, Sir?” “Western Honey Bee.” Kara's eyebrows arched high. "Is it the same as European?" Frank was wide eyed. “You know about bees?” However, a second later, he controlled his expression. “Yes, they play an important role in the pollination of plants, especially almonds. But, our country still lacks of

    “I think you'd better wait here. I don't want a troublesome girl like you to interfere with my performance on the field," Frank suggested while nodding stiffly. He also didn't dare look at Kara, afraid of being asked to explain what he had just done. "Yes, you are right. I'll definitely be a burden if I go there.” Kara tried to nod, but failed. The warmth of Frank's lips on her neck seemed to have disrupted her nerve pathways. Without additional words, Frank got out of his luxury car. He even chose to wear protective clothing outside. He and Kara really needed distance. Otherwise, awkwardness could paralyze them. As the CEO left, Kara immediately took a mirror from her bag. She wanted to know how her neck was doing. As soon as she saw the location of the bee sting, she gasped. "Why are there three?" There was a new spot near the two bee sting marks. It's the same red color, but it's not swollen since it didn't come from bees. Frank Harper was the creator. While grimacing, Kara

    Kara laughed briefly at the twins' actions. "Thank you, Little Bees. But sorry, Mommy didn't have time to buy honey for you." "It's okay, Mommy. You came home safely, that’s enough for making us happy," Emily hugged Kara, then Louis followed her. "You know what, Mommy? You're lucky it wasn't a killer bee." Hearing Louis' muttering, Kara was stunned. "How do you know it's not a killer bee?" "If it was a killer bee, it wasn't just one or two bees that stung Mommy," Louis said with round eyes. "Yes, but thousands," Emily continued, shuddering. With a small smile, Kara stroked their backs. "My children are very smart. I am so proud of you, Little Angels." Louis raised his eyebrows at Emily. Understanding what her brother meant, Emily smiled faintly. "Mommy, we also have a surprise that will make you even prouder," the little girl flipped her long hair. "We already know where we want to go to school," Louis continued with a reassuring nod. His round cheeks flushed red with enthusi

    In the afternoon, Kara sat at her work desk while supporting her head with one hand. Her eyes closed occasionally. Only when the phone rang did her back straighten. "Good morning. Frank Harper's office." "I pay you to work, not sleep." Kara looked at the mirror in front of her. The CEO must have been glaring at her from behind the glass. "Sorry, Sir. It's not my fault that I'm sleepy. You're the one who drained my energy. Don't you remember how I was panting and drenched in sweat this morning? I couldn't even walk." The guards exchanged glances. When they arrived at the mansion this morning, Frank and Kara were both taking a shower. If it was a usual day, their boss must be already in a neat condition. Frank Harper must have done something important with his secretary. He was even willing to postpone his departure for that activity. "My friend will arrive soon. Hurry up and buy us lunch. No need to go far. Just look for it at the cafe on the 5th floor." Kara walked lazily towar

    “It's like you haven't known me long, Ben. I'm not a person who gives up easily. I will never stop fighting for what I want.” Frank raised an eyebrow. Ben started nodding. “Okay, I will be a loyal audience. I also want to learn how to make my parents willing to accept the girl of my choice later." “A Ben Wilson wants to pick a girl?” Frank quipped with narrowed eyes. "What’s wrong with it? I'm a jerk because I haven't met the right girl. If I have attached my heart, I will definitely be loyal and fight for love. I can't change girlfriends forever, Frank. There must be one woman who will accompany my life." Frank laughed, shaking his head in amusement. “It sounds impossible, but it's okay .... I will also be a loyal audience. I wonder what kind of woman could conquer a playboy like you.” “More or less like Kara. I like a beautiful woman who is also warm and intelligent. She will be great at educating children, helping me with the company, and also ... spoiling me in bed.” Frank's

    "Just do it yourself. I'd rather cook in the kitchen. Excuse me." Kara stomped her feet, leaving the room. Frank was stunned to see her. With a stupid look, he turned to the lotion bottle that had just hit his hard muscle. “Why is she angry? That’s the normal stage that must be done after bathing." Meanwhile, Kara kept mumbling. Even when she arrived in the kitchen, she couldn't stop nagging. “He accused Ben of being a flirt, but he himself was a pervert. Why is he so disgusting?" Since that night, Kara had always looked at Frank with suspicion. However, the man was not bothered at all. He still continued to give orders, thinking that he enjoyed seeing her in trouble. In reality, his heart couldn't stand not seeing Kara for even a minute. Thursday afternoon, Kara was busy compiling a report. Frank intended to tell her to get the files in the shelf. However, as he was about to press the phone button, he flinched. His eyes widened because of Ben's presence near the secretary's desk

    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?"

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.
