Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father S2| 63. I'm Scared
The curve of Philip's lips turned sour. "Your mother is home." With limited head movement, Barbara rolled her eyes around. "Where is this?" Philip bowed lower. "In the hospital. You just had surgery." Suddenly, Barbara's eyes widened. Her breath shortened. The incident in the back yard flashed through her mind. "That knife ... I'm bleeding?" Philip quickly shook his head. His hands cupped Barbara's face, giving her a sense of security. "No. You're not bleeding anymore. See? Your operation went well." "I'm still alive?" Barbara sighed with teary eyes. Philip was intrigued by the innocent comment. Beneath his frown, he let out a faint laugh. “Yes, you are alive, Baby. You're safe." "Now," he ran his fingers through Barbara's hair, "just wait for a moment. I have to let the nurse know that you're awake." Philip straightened up, about to press the intercom button. However, before he had time to move, Barbara grabbed his hand tightly. "Please ... don't go. I'm scared." Philip
Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father S2| 64. Where is Mom?
"Your aunt is awake," Philip said. "Really?" As Louis and Emily stood on tiptoes, Frank and Kara approached from the other side of the bed. "Hey," Kara rubbed Barbara's arm, "how are you feeling?" Barbara blinked. Her consciousness had not yet gathered. After a while, she whispered, "Water." Philip hurriedly took a bottle of water equipped with a straw. The twins were stunned to see his alacrity. "Auntie, how are you? Does it still hurt?" Emily jumped up and down a little, trying to get her face out from under the bed. The taller Louis just had to look up and stay on his tiptoes. "We came here to give you encouragement. You must get well soon, Auntie." While Philip returned the water bottle, Barbara checked around. Her lips let out a little air. "My body feels strange. I also feel nauseous." "It might be the effect of the anesthesia. Has she been checked again?" Frank looked at Philip. Philip shook his head. "Then, let me call the nurse." "Where's Mom?" Frank fell silent
Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father S2| 65. I Don't Reject You
Philip looked at her with a flat expression. "Why should I be angry?" Barbara took a deep breath. "Since earlier, you haven't wanted to talk to me." "I think my presence here makes you uncomfortable. So, why am I talking? Please wait until the afternoon. Nora will come." Philip sat down and picked up his tablet again. His demeanor was calm. However, Barbara could see a faint throbbing in Philip's jaw. "Are you offended?" Philip looked at her coldly. "Why am I offended? I'm nothing to you, right?" Barbara bit her lip. Her eyes started to fill with tears. "Sorry, I was just trying to make the atmosphere better. But I didn't mean ...." The girl was unable to continue explaining for a few moments. "The point is I'm sorry." Barbara started scratching her nail. Even though her gaze had shifted, Philip knew there was sadness there. "Are you sorry you rejected me?" "I'm not rejecting you." Barbara's voice trembled. "But you ignored my statement this morning. You also wanted me to
Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father S2| 66. Are You Two Dating?
"Don't tease me," Barbara furrowed her eyebrows, pretending to be annoyed. "I didn’t tease you, but I trained you not to be embarrassed. We have to be ready when the twins find out about our relationship. So," Philip approached. His breath now tickled Barbara's cheek. "Should I ask Nora not to come?" As Barbara's heart pounded harder, her hand gripped the blanket tighter. "I-if you promise to close your eyes, I don't mind. But you have to remember. We are not husband and wife yet. My brother said—" Before Barbara had finished explaining, Philip locked her lips. Her eyes suddenly widened. The monitor machine started to flicker, showing a heart rate that had risen drastically. When Philip gave her some distance, Barbara immediately gasped for breath. Her mouth slightly opened, trembling as if she was unsure about which statement to make. "So, what do you think?" Philip whispered with a faint smile. "Should I call Nora now? We can do that over and over again if she doesn't come." B
Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father S2| 67. Interrogation for Philip
"My parents are not as rich as you, Sir. Since they died, I had to be independent. But that’s what made me strong," Philip said sadly. But a second later, his hands clenched into fists. His gaze was tinged with confidence. "My skills are not many. I can only fight, swim across the strait, or jump from a plane. But I can make sure that your daughter is safe with me." "So you have nothing to support my daughter?" "Dad," Barbara grimaced. Philip blinked stiffly. "I have an apartment and some savings. And with my current salary, I think your daughter can live well." "You mean the inherited apartment?" Paul's eyebrows rose. Barbara sighed faintly. Her worry grew deeper. However, seeing Philip shake his head, she was amazed. "No, Sir. My own apartment. I started paying it in installments when I worked as a bodyguard for the Harper family. It's not one building, just one floor. But soon, the installments will be paid off." "How much do you have in savings?" Barbara's admiration was
Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father S2| 68. No More Chance
Paul stepped back, pulling his legs out of Melanie's grip. "Is there any reason for me to still love you? Barbara is embarrassed to death of you. You are a criminal with mental disorders. You even almost killed our daughter." Melanie's chin twitched. Her hands pounded her chest as if punishing herself. "I didn't mean to, Paul. I wanted to threaten that man. He was trying to get close to our daughter. He even wanted to take Barbara away from me." "It wasn't him who took Barbara from you, but Barbara who no longer wants to be by your side. She's an adult. She knows what's better for her life." Melanie sighed in disbelief. "You're defending that bastard?" "I've met him. He's a good boy. He can take care of Barbara and make her happy too." "But he's poor and disgusting! How could you give up our daughter for him? Barbara should get a rich businessman husband!" Suddenly, Paul snorted with laughter. "You call someone who has an apartment unit and one billion in savings a poor person
Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father S2| 69. Barbara's Choice
"No." Barbara quickly covered her mouth with her left hand. "If my lips were swollen, they would actually look worse." Philip raised an eyebrow. "Lipstick can make lips swollen? I just found out." Barbara froze. "Lipstick?" "What’s in your imagination?" While Philip smiled, Barbara glanced in another direction. Her chin twitched, waiting for her brain to come up with a defense. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Barbara was silently grateful for the interruption. Quick as lightning, she turned around and exited the toilet. However, when she saw the man who came with the nurse, she froze again. "Mr. Morris?" Barbara sighed softly. Morris nodded. "Good afternoon, Miss Harris. You seem well." At that moment, Philip appeared from the same door. Seeing him, Morris smiled faintly. "Oh, sorry to interrupt you guys." The blush on Barbara's cheeks became more obvious. "It's not what you think, Mr. Morris. He was just helping me put the zipper up." She nodded reassuringly. The nu
Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father S2| 70. Visiting Melanie
"Auntie," Louis appeared in his excited manner, "we met Mr. Morris earlier. He said he came to offer you the apartment and the conditions are still the same!" Emily, who arrived later, clenched her fists in front of her chest. "Did you accept the apartment? Will you live there? Will you leave us?" Barbara and Philip glanced at each other. Their hearts were tickled by the reaction of the toddlers. Secretly, they were grateful that they hadn't been caught red-handed. "I bet you didn't hear Mr. Morris's explanation until the end," Barbara said, making the twins' eyebrows furrow. "Yes, we want to hear it directly from you. You won't leave us, right?" Emily pouted with her teary eyes. "If you move there, we can only see each other on holidays. That would be very painful." Louis held his chest and grimaced. Laughing, Barbara approached the twins. "Are you that afraid of losing me?" The Twins nodded. "We already love you, Auntie. We hope we can play and work together every day." Emil

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
Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father S3| 204. Barbara's Nervousness
"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
Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father S3| 202. Louis and Emily's Joy
"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."
Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father S3| 201. Birthday with Russell
"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
Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father S3| 199. Come out, Russell!
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
