9. Emily Martin
“How old are you?” Frank asked spontaneously.
Emily furrowed her brows. Instead of answering, she just shook her head. “Sorry, Sir. Mommy said we
shouldn’t share personal
information with strangers.”
“But you already told me your name.
“That’s a form of responsibility. Who knows, your knee hurts and you want to sue me. You can come
here again and look for me.
Frank was amazed. That answer was too mature for Emily.
‘That stupid secretary couldn’t have given birth to such a genius baby. It must be just a coincidence that
they have the same last name.’
While Frank was lost in contemplation, Emily nodded respectfully. Now please excuse me, Sir. I have to
meet my brother. I’m afraid he’ll bump into someone else if he keeps looking for me.”
With sparkling eyes, Frank stared at Emily’s tiny back away. Her thick hair swayed beautifully to match
her steps. For the first time in history, Frank Harper was interested in a child.
“Isn’t that toddler very cute?” Jeremy whispered, looking in the same direction. “She managed to steal
the attention of the coldest CEO in the world. Would you like to look for her mother, Sir? I think she’s a
single mother. Emily didn’t mention her father at all.”
Hearing the joke, Frank’s brows furrowed again. Taking out his sunglasses from the pocket, he stood
up.
“Are you insulting me? Even though her child is cute, she’s not on my level. See? She can only afford
to give her child cheap clothes. The child’s grandmother still has to work. Their life must be difficult.

or naughty woman. Why would I marry such a creature when my fiancee is almost perfect?”
After putting on his glasses, Frank straightened his suit. His schedule is tight. He couldn’t waste any
more time. Emily shouldn’t take up five of Frank Harper’s precious minutes.
“Now, any news from Ben?” Frank asked as he started walking.
“Yes, Sir. He invited you tonight to the Prince and Princess Resto.”
Frank raised an eyebrow. The place was too feminine for him. The majority of visitors there are young
couples with their children.

“That’s his family’s restaurant, Sir. Another option is Ben’s own bar. Do you want to change it?”
Remembering the incident four years ago, Frank shook his head. “No. Prince and Princess Resto,
right? We’ll go there after finishing all the
visits.”

The twins sat side by side on a bus. Sunglasses make their tiny fa look even more adorable. It’s no
surprise that the focus of other passengers was on them.
“Your grandson is very beautiful and handsome, Madam,” a woman sitting next to Susan praised.
The grandmother smiled. She was used to hearing those compliments.
Wherever Louis and Emily were, they never went unnoticed. Even though their appearance was
simple, they always shone, especially if they took off their glasses. People would not blink at the beauty

Like their grandmother, Louis and Emily also considered the admiring looks around them to be normal.
The twins weren’t bothered at all. They only needed to whisper so that their chat did not become public
consumption.
“You’re not making up stories, are you?” Louis narrowed his eyes event though Emily couldn’t see it.
“I am not lying. The man really looked like a CEO. He was dressed coolly and he was followed by ten
bodyguards! Whatever he said, they immediately obeyed.”
Louis pensively listened to his twin sister’s explanation. In his heart, he regretted not being able to
witness the presence of that cool guy.
“Do you know his name? We can confirm whether he is the CEO or not on the library computer,” Louis
whispered hopefully.
However, Emily shook her head innocently. “I didn’t have time to ask. I was too afraid that he would
hold me responsible.”
“Then, let’s just ask Grandma.”
Emily’s eyes suddenly rounded. “No! This is our secret.”
“Why? Are you afraid of being punished for hitting a visitor?”
Emily glanced at Susan Martin. His grandmother was busy chat with other passengers. “The man has
gray eyes, just like us. Mayb he’s our Daddy.”
“Emily! We have agreed not to discuss about Daddy. “If Mommy finds out, she will be sad,” Louis
rebuked while shaking his sister’s hand.
Emily’s shoulders suddenly went limp. Her head was bowed. She remembered very well the feeling
when she was hugged by that strange man. It was so calm and warm even though it was filled with m

abandoned his children. The man in the library wouldn’t forgive her if he was their father.
Every time Louis and Emily asked, Kara always said that their father was in heaven. At first, the twins
believed it. However, as time went by, they realized that it was not true. Kara never showed her father’s
grave or his photo. Their father disappeared without a trace so they believed Kara didn’t have the heart
to tell them the truth.
“Louis, Emily, we’re here. Come on!”
Emily flinched. Pulling her glasses down her nose, she glanced out the window. It wasn’t a stop near
their house. “Where are we going, Grandma?”
Suddenly, Kara appeared and waved. She was already wearing a yellow dress that was as bright as
the sun. A pink dress and a small blue suit were hanging on her hands.
Knowing that they were going to party, Emily’s sadness immediately disappeared. After changing
clothes in a public toilet and making sure their grandmother got a taxi, the three of them went to the
restaurant of their dreams.
“Grandma must be sad. She was supposed to join in the p instead, she had a stomach ache,” Louis
looked back.
“Don’t spoil the party, Louis. We can pack a menu for Grandma la Emily said before shaking the hand
that was holding her tightly. that true, Mommy?”
Smiling sweetly, Kara nodded. “Yeah. We can order the most delicious menu for Grandma.”
“Okay! Then, let’s have fun!”
Louis let go of his mother’s hand and ran. Seeing her son’s

when they arrived at the restaurant, they were short of breath. They had to catch their breath first
before entering the gold-painted door like a gate to a fairy tale.
Seeing the interior which resembled a palace, Emily couldn’t stop being amazed. Each large, towering

Emily liked most was the hanging lamp in the middle of the room. Its shape was like strands of
sparkling rainwater reflecting light.
“Look at those candles, Emily!” Louis pointed towards the table they were going to sit at. “Isn’t it similar
to the one in your favorite story?”
“Yeah! That’s Lumiere. Then Mommy is Belle and Louis is the Beast.” Emily covered her laughter with
one hand.
“No way! You can’t equate me with the Beast. I’m too handsome.”
Emily folded her arms and shook her head firmly. “Look at your clothes, Louis! It’s blue, the same as
the one Beast wears.”
Louis looked at Kara with an annoyed expression. “Mommy, why did you choose blue for me? Emily
made fun of me.”
After lifting Louis into a chair, Kara stroked his round cheek. “Why are you angry? Didn’t the Beast
finally become a handsome and kind prince?”
Remembering the end of the story, the frown on Louis’ forehead disappeared. He felt proud of the suit
he wore. “That’s true. I am a changed Beast, Emily. I am a brave prince.”
After taking care of her son, Kara turned to face Emily. It turned out her little daughter was busy dealing
with her hair. It got caught in her
crown.
“Mommy, we have to fix my hair. Let’s go to the toilet.” Emily pleaded

Emily had high standards for appearance. Kara should rush to carry her.
‘Louis, can you wait here? If the waiter comes to deliver food, greet him politely.
“Don’t worry, Mom. I’m not going anywhere.” Louis folded his arms on the table. Her tiny legs swayed
to the rhythm of the music.
However, just a few seconds after Kara disappeared from sight, a group of men in black suits entered
the restaurant. After they formed a line beside the red carpet, a man in a blue suit appeared. He
stepped forward proudly while putting his sunglasses in his pocket.
Louis was amazed to see the charismatic guy. His eyes sparkled and his neck is elongated. “Wow, he’s
so cool! He’s more suited to being a Beast than me.”
Suddenly, Louis remembered Emily’s story about the CEO who visited the library earlier. Suspecting
that it was the same man, he slumped down from the chair. Without thinking, he went to follow the man
to the VVIP room.
