Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

S31 18. Break the Limit

Kara’s eyebrows furrowed. “Please don’t be angry, Mrs. Johnson. We’re not playing around.

There was an emergency earlier. Now, I’ll go back to the kitchen and continue cooking,

hmm?”

Kara spoke so gently. However, Diana responded with a harsh snort.

“Continue cooking you said? You think I don’t know? Sophia is the one who has been busy

in the kitchen. She prepared dinner alone.”

Kara’s jaw clenched. Her chest was tight and her lungs were hot. Once might be a

coincidence, but twice was intentional. Sophia and Diana had broken through the limits of

her tolerance.

“Sorry, Mrs. Johnson. I don’t understand whether you close your eyes on purpose or what.

But since earlier, the others and I have been busy in the kitchen. Sophia wasn’t the one

who prepared all that.”

Everyone’s eyes spontaneously widened. They didn’t expect Kara’s patience to finally

wear out.

Meanwhile, Diana was stunned. “You dare deny it?”

“You can check the kitchen. There are potatoes that have only been half peeled,

vegetables that have just been washed, and meat that has only been half processed.

Could it be that Sophia did all that alone?”

Diana sighed in disbelief. She looked around, hoping to find the same expression as her

own. However, everyone sided with Kara.

“Kara’s right, Grandma. She’s been busy in the kitchen. She’s here now because Louis and

Emily came out without wearing coats,” Philip.

nodded.

“Yeah, they’re all here because I couldn’t get down from the tree. I just

called my dad up there.” Barbara pointed to where she had been.

Meanwhile, Frank raised his eyebrows in defiance. “Kara is telling the truth, but why are

you accusing her of lying? Is it because Sophia again admitted that it was her cooking?

You don’t have the heart to expose her charade?”

Diana took a deep breath. The more people who defended Kara, the more thorns grew in

her chest.

“If you really mind preparing dinner, fine! There’s no need to ask everyone to support your

game, let alone bringing down Sophia. She is clearly innocent!”

Diana’s voice boomed. The trees seemed to be silent too, listening to

hér.

“In fact, you should be grateful that I want to lend you my kitchen. You should be grateful

that I’m willing to taste your cooking. But from now on, don’t try to touch my cooking

utensils again. Let Sophia get that honor. She’s much more deserving.”

Kara’s lips trembled more violently. She really wanted to argue. However, realizing that

Diana’s eyes had turned red, she clenched her fists, holding onto her anger. When the old

woman turned around, she just looked down, catching her breath.

“Grandma,” Frank grabbed Diana’s arm, “haven’t you gone too far? What’s wrong with

Kara that you hate her like this?”

Frank’s face was so stiff. His seriousness made Diana even more

annoyed.

“You’re still asking what’s wrong with her?” Pursing her lips, Diana pushed Frank’s hand

away. “Just think for yourself. What’s clear is that I hate falsehood the most.”

Frank couldn’t hold back Diana any longer, He let the old woman in,

leaving a tense silence between them.

“What makes her keep blaming Kara?” Frank thought while gritting his teeth.

“Mommy, are you okay?”

Emily’s voice called Frank’s attention. When he turned around, the little girl and Louis

were hugging Kara.

“I’m okay, Little Angels,” Kara answered weakly. The corners of her lips were now too

heavy to lift.

“Are you sure you’re okay?” Frank helped Kara lift her gaze.

Turned out, her face was pale and her eyes were red, struggling to

fight the urge of tears. However, she still answered, “I’m fine, Frank. Just a little tired.”

Frank knew his wife was giving the opposite answer. In order to protect her pride, she

pretended to be deceived.

“Okay, but I think you should rest now.” Frank stroked her warm cheek and kissed her. A

second later, he looked at the twins. “Kids, can you take Mommy to her room?”

“Yes, Daddy.”

Louis and Emily grabbed Kara’s hands. “Come on, Mommy.”

Kara smiled briefly at the others. As she walked inside, the people behind her started to

ponder.

“I don’t think this can go any further, Frank muttered, opening the discussion.

The others nodded in unison.

“There must be a misunderstanding between Grandma and us. It must be cleared up

immediately,” Barbara pouted.

“Then, Philip,” Jeremy patted the man in front of him on the shoulder, you should find a

right time to talk to Grandma.”

Philip’s brows furrowed. “Do you guys think I’ll succeed? Somehow, I feel like we’re

distanced now. Grandma isn’t like the Diana Johnson |

used to know.”

“But you are her foster child. There must be a strong bond between you. Abigail also said

that Grandma has missed you all this time.” Barbara assured.

Suddenly, Frank touched Philip’s shoulder. “Please… have a good talk with Grandma. Of all

of us, you are the most reliable in this matter. Regarding the results, that’s a matter for

later.”

Philip blinked in hesitation before finally sighing in resignation.

“Okay. I’ll look for the right moment tomorrow. Tonight, we’d better stay away from

Grandma. Let her head cool first.”

Everyone nodded, even though it meant they had to eat on the back porch again. The cool

night air was much better than the heat of Diana’s anger.

“Come on, Mommy. You have to eat a lot so you can get healthy quickly.” Emily put the

last piece of apple from her plate in front of Kara’s mouth.

“No, Little Bee. Take it for you. My stomach is full.”

While laughing, Louis also brought fruit from his plate to Kara’s mouth. “Don’t refuse,

Mommy. This is a sign of our love for you. You must be willing to eat it.”

Kara put on a pitiful look. She had already finished a plate of grapes earlier. Then, three

people around her continued to stuff her mouth

with various fruits.

“I’m telling the truth. I’m already-”

Suddenly, Frank tickled Kara. The twins took the opportunity. When they saw their mother

wide-eyed and having difficulty chewing, their laughter broke out.

“Mommy shouldn’t have refused earlier.”

“Yeah, so Mommy can still eat beautifully,” Emily said before patting Kara’s arm. “Come

on, Mommy. Chew carefully. Daddy said, if Mommy can finish all this, Mommy will

immediately get better.”

While chewing, Kara glanced at the man supporting her back. “So this was your idea?” Her

voice was not clear.

Frank shrugged. “What could I do? You refuse to take medicine, so you need more

vitamins.”

“Besides,” Louis grabbed the water bottle beside him and put it in Kara’s hand, “Daddy

said Mommy should drink a lot too.”

“And get enough rest,” Emily pressed her hands to her right cheek. Her head tilted and his

eyes closed for a moment.

“That way,” Louis waited for Emily to open her eyes again. “Mommy can get better

quickly!” They both raised their hands at the same time

As warmth surrounded Kara, compassion colored her eyes. Still with her back against

Frank, she looked back, conveying gratitude through her gaze. Then, she reached out her

hand, stroking the twins’ round

faces.

“Thank you, Little Angels. I really appreciate your concern. But you don’t need to worry.

Just by looking at your enthusiasm, my sickness will immediately disappear.”

“Is it true?” Louis stared wide eyed. After setting the plate aside, he

moved slightly, pressing his tiny hand to Kara’s forehead.

“But Mommy still has a fever.” Louis put his other hand to Emily’s

“Louis, can’t you do it gently?” Emily pursed her lips.

However, Louis didn’t pay attention. Instead, he said, “Yes, Mommy` still has a fever. Do
