Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

S31 30. Diana’s Change

In the dining room, everyone turned as Frank came back with the broom and dustpan. “Where should

throw this?”

Abigail pointed her finger. “Just put it there. I’ll handle it later.”

Frank walked towards the corner. From his listless movements, everyone could guess what had

happened.

“What were you talking about earlier?” Philip asked, cautiously.

Frank let out a faint sigh as he approached Kara. “Not much. Grandma wondered why I could hold a

broom. She suspected me as always, and she didn’t answer when I asked for her lenience for the

children.”

Without waiting for orders, Kara put her arm around his waist. She didn’t say a single word. However,

Frank felt his burden suddenly lighten.

Rubbing Kara’s head, Frank turned to the twins. “Kids, have you finished breakfast?”

The twins nodded.

“Yes, Daddy.”

“Now it’s Daddy’s turn to have breakfast.”

Frank raised the corners of his lips. “Then how about you two play in the living room?”

Louis’ lips suddenly pursed. “Oh, I know. Daddy wants to have a

conversation with the adults. Little kids like me and Emily should not

interfere.”

Emily chuckled. “You protest too much, Louis. Let’s play in the living

room. Don’t delay the adult meeting.

A second later, Emily jumped down from the bench. Louis followed with puffed cheeks. As the two

toddlers left, Jeremy whispered,” What’s your solution?”

Unbeknownst to him, Louis and Emily didn’t actually go into the living room. They stopped near the

door, pressing their ears against the wall.

“It seems that we have no hope. Grandma’s hatred is really deep- rooted. Our presence in her life

brings no benefit, while our departure does not give her a sense of loss.”

“I think Grandma will be very grateful and relieved if we leave the farm,

Barbara said lightly.

Philip nodded. “Yeah, I also think so. Grandma even kicked me out. She couldn’t stand the bad

memories that haunt her anymore.”

“Sorry,” Frank furrowed his brows. “Because of our family, your relationship with Grandma was broken.”

Philip shrugged. “I’m sad and disappointed, but what can I do? I will marry Barbara, become part of

your family, even though my last name is not Harper.”

While Barbara grabbed Philip’s fingers, Jeremy tapped on the table.” So, shall we go home early?”

Frank reluctantly nodded. “Yes, but after I discuss it with Louis and Emily.”

“I really feel sorry for them. They were really looking forward to this. holiday.” Barbara sighed heavily.

Behind the wall, Louis and Emily exchanged glances. Their faces were equally gloomy. Their shoulders

dropped.

“Do you mind if we don’t go to the party?” Louis held Emily’s shoulder.

The little girl shook her head. “It’s useless for us to join the party without feeling happy.”

A second later, Louis grabbed Emily’s hand and pulled her towards the middle of the door. Standing up

straight, he said, “Daddy, it’s okay for Emily and I to go home now. The important thing is that Grandma

isn’t sad anymore.”

Instead of smiling proudly, Frank stared wide-eyed. The people around him also showed the same

expression. “Grandma….”

The twins also widened their eyes. They just realized there was someone behind their backs. When

they turned their heads, their shoulders immediately rise, pinching their necks.

“H-hello, Grandma. Are you hungry?” Louis remembered that Abigail had said that. Diana would look

for food when she was hungry.

Diana cleared her throat. Lifting her chin and glancing away, she muttered, “I’m hungry.”

Frank quickly pulled a chair for Diana. “Please sit down, Grandma.”

The twins tiptoed towards the living room, while Kara got up from the dining table.

“Stay where you are,” Diana said.

Kara’s eyebrows arched high. “Me?”

“Hmm, and you guys,” Diana glanced at the twins, “go back to the dining table. I have something to talk

about.”

The two toddlers’ lips immediately pursed. However, without asking any questions, they returned to the

bench, sitting between Frank and

Kara.

In an instant, the atmosphere turned awkward. Kara’s hands went back and forth. She wanted to serve

Diana, but remembered that she

was forbidden from touching any equipment.

“Barbara,” she called, whispering.

“No need to tell other people. Just do it yourself.”

Kara’s back straightened. Without saying much else, she took two

sandwiches for Diana.

“You still don’t know my portion, hmm?”

Kara blinked stiffly. “Sorry.” Swiftly, she returned a piece of sandwich.

Diana cleared her throat. “Thank you.”

Everyone was stunned.

“Did I hear it correctly?” Philip whispered.

“Grandma did say thank you.” Barbara elbowed him so he wouldn’t get too close.

“That’s huge progress.”

Diana heard the whisper. All her nerves turned stiff. “I heard you guys will be leaving soon.”

Frank nodded. “I think that’s what’s best for all of us.”

“That’s a shame. In fact, I was just about to invite Louis and Emily to the party.”

The twins’ mouths spontaneously opened wide. Their eyes sparkled brightly. “Grandma invites us?”

“Yes.” Diana bit her sandwich without expression.

“Is that okay? Don’t you hate us, Grandma?” Emily’s sweet voice came

again.

“The children at the orphanage need new friends. If you can be good friends to them, maybe I can

reconsider my opinion of you.”

In an instant, the twins’ faces turned cheerful. While looking at Kara, they let out laughter.

“Mommy, Grandma Diana doesn’t hate us anymore.”

Kara nodded, half hesitant, half moved. “Yes, Little Bee.”

The twins’ excitement spread in the air. “Thank you, Grandma. We are very happy to have this

opportunity.”

Diana’s heart warmed. She couldn’t deny that she was happy to see that smile. However, just as she

was about to show a little

friendliness, Sophia appeared at the door.

“Hi! It turns out you guys haven’t finished breakfast? Is there anything left? I’m hungry.”

Sophia smiled as if nothing was wrong. Her steps were light, her movements were relaxed. She didn’t

even mention Diana no longer refusing breakfast. Only her eye bags looked a little thicker.

Seeing Sophia walking towards her, Kara spontaneously got up from the bench. “There’s still plenty of

bread. Sit down.”

However, before she had time to move, Diana grabbed her hand. “Why are you standing?”

Kara’s brain froze a little. “Doesn’t Sophia want breakfast?” Her finger pointed downwards, indicating

that that was where Sophia usually

was.

Diana’s heart hurt seeing that. Unconsciously, her gaze turned pity.

“I said I wanted to talk about something. How dare you leave? I haven’t finished eating either. Is it polite

for you to leave the dining

table while an old woman is still sitting?”

Kara’s jaw dropped. Confusion had clogged her mind. Only when Emily took her hand did she flinch.

“Mommy, just sit down. Abigail’s chair is empty. Sophia can sit there.”

Kara looked at the others. She still couldn’t believe that Diana didn’t mind her presence there.

“Sit down, Kara. Grandma doesn’t seem to mind. Nobody’s going to throw you out now.”

Diana’s breathing suddenly became heavy. She knew Frank just

wanted to calm Kara down. However, her heart considered it as satire.

Same with Sophia, she secretly clenched her jaw. “Damn. Why did Grandma let Kara stay here? What

really got into her?” she cursed inside her heart.
