Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

35. In Frank’s Arms

“Good evening, Mrs. Kara Martin? I’m Cathy from the Savior Scholarship Organizers. I hope you don’t

mind that I contact you at this time. I’ve been trying to reach you since this afternoon.”

Kara quickly checked the notification panel. There were 12 missed calls.

“I’m truly sorry. I’m a bit busy today,” she answered awkwardly. Her brain started to wonder whether it

was the right time to turn down the scholarship or not. She could not let Louis and Emily to be

anywhere near Frank, let alone Rowan Harper.

“Once again, we congratulate your children for their scholarship. achievement. Now, we look forward to

your cooperation to complete some of the documents.”

Kara didn’t fully pay attention to the documents she had to prepare. She was too busy compiling logical

reasons to convey. However, as she was about to interrupt, the caller had already changed the topic.

“For the inaugural event this Saturday, the founder of Savior Group invites the three of you to attend.

We will provide special sessions for Louis and Emily to share their enthusiasm with other children.”

Kara’s eyes widened. Her lips twitched. She could not imagine Rowan’s reaction when he found out

that Louis and Emily were her children. That couldn’t happen.

Unfortunately, as Kara was about to refuse, Frank came in hastily. She had no other choice but to

agree with Cathy and end the call.

“Kara, come here quickly!” Frank ordered while cornering the clothes

in the wardrobe to one side.

Seeing his anxiety, Kara furrowed her eyebrows. “What?”

Suddenly, Frank pulled her to walk faster. “My grandfather is coming. He has already entered the main

gate. I don’t want to argue with him. We’d better hide.”

Kara’s heart started beating fast. Her eyes widened too. “Hide where?”

Unexpectedly, Frank pulled her into the wardrobe.

“Is this a secret door?” Kara whispered as she watched the small, dark room. The width was just

enough for them to move a little.

From behind Kara’s body, Frank was busy returning the clothes to their original position. He didn’t have

time to answer. After the clothes were back in order, he switched their position. “Turn around!”

A second later, a board appeared behind Kara’s back, covering the wardrobe perfectly. A small, dim

light appeared, highlighting their positions facing each other and only a few inches apart.

“We hide here?” Kara asked panicked.

“Shhh…. Turn off your phone.”

Even though her eyes were still wide, Kara carried out the order. She turned off her phone then put it in

the bag hanging on her shoulder. Not long after that, noises started coming from outside.

“Frank Harper!”

It was Rowan’s voice. He sounded very angry.

Kara involuntarily shuddered. Frank spontaneously rubbed her back, trying to calm her down. However,

Kara brushed his hand away.

“Don’t touch me,” the girl whispered with a fierce look.

“Okay,” Frank spoke with mouth gesture.

“You guys,” Rowan’s voice brought Kara back upright, “quickly search this place! I’m sure my grandson

is hiding somewhere. There must be a secret door in this house.”

Kara looked at Frank with a worried expression. However, the man seemed relaxed. She could not help

but tug at his shirt. “Psst…

Frank brought his ear to her lips.

“How long do we have to hide here?”

Frank pressed his cheek against Kara’s temple. “Until my grandfather left. It took them at least 30

minutes to search the entire mansion. Be patient.”

“But it’s too narrow here. What if we run out of oxygen?”

“This was designed for myself. Who would have thought that I could take you here?”

“What if we are caught hiding? Problems can get worse. Why don’t we just face your grandfather?”

Frank looked into her eyes for a moment then shook his head. “My grandfather can’t do much when

he’s at the office, but at my house… he can do everything. There aren’t many eyes or ears to watch.

He wouldn’t just tell Sean to slap you.”

Kara swallowed hard. Her expression turned horrified. “He can kill me?

As Frank straightened and nodded, anxious wrinkles were etched on Kara’s forehead.

‘This is bad! What will happen to the twins if I die now? They are still too young.’

Clenching her fists, Kara was determined not to make any sound. Frank just stood silently in front of

her.

Unfortunately, only 25 minutes had passed, Kara’s legs started to stiffen. Her knees occasionally bend.

She was able to stand for a long time when she worked as sales promotion girl. However, within such a

narrow space, the pressure doubled.

“Are you tired?” Frank whispered, raising an eyebrow.

Kara puffed out her cheeks. The answer was clearly written on her two furrowed eyebrows.

Feeling pity, Frank grabbed her waist. “Lean on me. You won’t be so tired.”

However, Kara instead patted him on the shoulder. As she kept her distance again, she accidentally hit

the board behind her back. They instantly stared at each other. Through a movement of his head,

Frank scolded the secretary to be quiet.

“Report, Sir. We couldn’t find Young Master anywhere.”

Kara froze. It turned out that Rowan had been waiting in the room all this time? No wonder Frank didn’t

move much and the air still felt tense. Now, Kara could only hope that the sound of the impact was not

caught by the old man’s ears.

“Search this room! Look for any secret buttons or levers. They must be hiding behind that wardrobe. I

heard something from inside there.”

Kara bit her lip and looked up. Frank was glaring at her.

“What should we do?” Kara said silently.

Frank grabbed her waist and pulled her head to lean on his shoulder. Kara didn’t fight back. She didn’t

want to make any more noise. The distance between them was no longer a big problem to her.

Feeling Kara’s warmth on his body, Frank’s feelings suddenly turned peaceful. His mind was free and

his heartbeat slowed down. When

Suddenly, someone knocked on the divider board. Kara trembled. She subconsciously pressed her

body towards Frank.

Frank couldn’t curve his lips any wider. He seemed to forget that they were still under threat.

“There are no secret levers or buttons, Sir,” a guard said.

Kara immediately let out a sigh of relief. But then, Rowan’s voice was heard again.

“Anyone has drills? Just put a hole in that board.”

Kara was wide eyed. She could imagine how the rotating screw would penetrate the wardrobe and

threaten her back.

Terrified, she buried herself deeper into Frank’s body. The grip of her hand seemed to be asking for

help and protection.

Frank almost laughed at her behavior. He didn’t understand why Kara was so stupid. Even if the drill

managed to penetrate the wardrobe, it still couldn’t reach them.

However, Frank kept putting his arms around her. It was like the drill had to penetrate his strong

muscles before reaching her back. On that occasion, he sometimes stroked her hair.
