"Mom? You slapped me?" Barbara's voice was hoarse and thin. Melanie gaped and sighed in disbelief. She looked at her own hand then shook her head quickly. "Sorry, My Dear. I didn't mean to hurt you." Barbara laughed bitterly. Stepping back, she muttered, "I hate you." A second later, she ran into her room. Melanie suddenly became confused. Barbara's words kept ringing in her mind. When she came to her senses, she screamed in annoyance. "Aaargh! What actually happened? Why is it so messy?" With a rumbling breath, she checked Barbara's account. As soon as she found the insults, her jaw throbbed violently. "How dare they attack my daughter like this?" With burning eyes, Melanie growled. "This must be because of Frank and those devil kids! They put Barbara in a difficult position. How dare they?" Closing her eyes, Melanie tried to lower her blood pressure. However, the dizziness never subsided. Like it or not, she had to return to her room and rest. She wouldn't be able to fight if

"So, you're still angry with me?" Philip chuckled. "It's a waste of me to praise you. It turns out your heart hasn't melted yet. Should I take some food to your room? You haven't eaten since lunch, right?" Barbara's furrowed brows deepened. "I have no appetite!" Afraid of the pounding in her chest, she quickly walked away, but Philip was moved to tease her more. "Hey, why are you following me?" Barbara sped up. However, Philip's footsteps were much bigger. Even though his movements were relaxed, he was still beside her. "To make sure you arrive safely. You haven't eaten since lunch, right? What if you pass out?" "I'm not going to faint. Now get out of my way!" Barbara elbowed Philip and then started running. Seeing that the girl was embarrassed, Philip stopped and laughed. Once their distance was large enough, he chased her with light steps. "Tsk, why is he still following me?" Barbara grumbled in panic. She ran faster. But, after several steps, she stopped. A trolley was cro

Emily blinked innocently. "I'm sure you won't dare repeat that mistake. Louis will immediately report you to the police if that happens." Barbara snorted. She wanted to deny it again, but she didn't have any reason. "Okay, if you guys provide what I need to promote, I'll try it." Emily suddenly raised one hand, as if she wanted to answer a quiz. "Auntie, you can promote my products. Many of your followers like fashion. They might be interested." Barbara was enthusiastic, but she did not want to show it. "Okay, just provide the information." While Emily smiled sweetly, Louis brought the trolley closer to Barbara. "Since the solution has been found, how about you eat, Auntie? Poor these crabs. They have been neglected for a long time." Barbara wanted to laugh. However, to protect her pride, she snorted. "Then get out of the way. I can't bring this trolley in if you guys are blocking the door." The twins moved to the side. While smiling, they watched Barbara push the trolley to he

After a moment of silence, Melanie waved her hand. "Get out of my room. Now!" Nora gasped and nodded. "Yes, Ma'am." While the servant pushed the trolley out of the room, Melanie grabbed her phone. She checked her social media. A moment later, she dropped her jaw. "Barbara’s doing another live broadcast?" Melanie sat up straighter. Her nerves were a little tense when she opened the broadcast. However, when she found Emily's round face, confusion took over. "What is this devil kid doing here anyway?" "Yes! This dress is my design. Auntie is helping me to promote it." After a moment of silence, the toddler shook her head. "No. Auntie is not a bad person. If she was really bad, she wouldn't possibly admit her mistake and apologize." The camera suddenly panned away from Emily. Barbara appeared beside her. Seeing her daughter’s new appearance, Melanie gasped. She covered her mouth with one hand. "Gosh! When did she change her hair color?" At the same time, Barbara gave a small nod

Frank and Kara glanced at each other, not knowing how to respond. Even the twins were stunned. Only Barbara frowned secretly. She knew that her mother couldn't possibly change without a reason. "Grandma cooked for us?" Emily sighed, blinking. Melanie nodded with a small smile. "Yes. There's a special chicken salad for you." Emily smiled broadly. After turning her head, she saw the same expression on Louis. "It seems Grandma has changed too," she whispered excitedly. Louis nodded. A second later, he looked at Melanie. "Thank you, Grandma. We are happy that Grandma wants to cook for us." "Yeah, me too. Thank you, Grandma." Emily put her hands to her cheeks and tilted her head. Melanie laughed warmly. "You're welcome. Now, let's clean up." She patted Frank's shoulder and glanced at Kara. "You too. Get ready." Kara smiled and nodded awkwardly. "Yes, Mom." Frank did it too. Then, while wondering, he and the others went towards the stairs. He didn’t notice that Melanie's smile turne

"Daddy?" Barbara sighed spontaneously. "Why does he come here?" Melanie grimaced. Roughly, she opened the door. "Send him away! We don't want to see him. Tell him not to bother us anymore!" One of Philip's eyebrows rose. He glanced at Barbara. The girl looked worried. "Sorry, Ma’am. We didn't know you didn't want to see him. We invited him in. Your husband is waiting in the living room." Melanie gasped. Without further ado, she went to see Paul. Barbara hurried to follow. "Daddy ...." Tears came out when Barbara saw her father. However, when she was about to approach him, Melanie held her hand. "Stay where you are," she whispered to Barbara before looking at Paul sharply. "What do you want to come here for?" The man in the suit with the messy tie got up from the sofa. His eyes no longer wandered. "Melanie .... Barbara ...." The curve of his lips looked very tired, especially with thick eye bags and messy hair. "How are you guys? Are you comfortable living here?" Melanie snort

"What do you mean?" Melanie swallowed hard. Her tongue was going numb. Paul smiled slyly. "You think I don't know? You are a murderer. You are lucky that I still loved you all this time. Now, because that time is over, is there any reason for me to cover up your crimes?" Paul's crisp laugh filled the air. When it subsided, the rest left an impression of horror. "Life is funny. We started at the altar but ended up together in prison.” Suddenly, Paul leaned forward, whispering, "But after thinking about it, I think you'll be the one to go in there first. I still have a chance. Maybe, there's a kind investor who wants to be my savior. But you ...." His finger was pointed forward. "You have no hope. Your sins cannot be erased like a debt." While Paul laughed again, Melanie grimaced in annoyance. When her chest became too tight, she grabbed Paul by the collar. "Don't mess up with me! You think you can threaten me with that? You don't have solid evidence." "Is that so?" Paul nodded m

"Listen, Frank," Paul suddenly spoke. He couldn't wait for Melanie to act. "I actually don't feel comfortable coming here in a condition like this. However, I have no other choice. My company is deteriorating. I need quite a large amount of funds to save it." Frank put his hand under his chin. Melanie and Paul held their breath waiting for his response. "So?" Paul gasped. He didn't expect such a short answer. "Maybe you've heard. Our company was once the largest gold mining company in the next town. Our prospects were big. Unfortunately, a disaster occurred and fund management had recently out of the predictions." Paul moved forward in his seat. His hands came up on the table. "I admit I was careless. But I can guarantee that it won't happen again. Once we get more funds, multiple profits await. So, how about you invest in our company?" Paul's eyebrows rose, as if ready to hold out hope. However, Frank was silent. He glanced briefly at his wife. Kara didn't give any clues. "How

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
Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father S3| 205. Barbara Giving Birth
"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
Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father S3| 203. Ava's Struggle
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
Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father S3| 200. Russell Is So Cute!
"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?"
Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father S3| 198. About to Give Birth
"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
