Chapter 71
- He Is Not Our Daddy
“Apart from that, Yemon also has a secret pocket. I often tuck letters to Mommy in it. Mommy will secretly reply,” Emily continued in a half- whisper.
Suddenly, Frank blinked. He just remembered about the secret
mission he had to carry out immediately.
“Emily, where is your brother’s room? Your parents will be worried if you don’t come back soon.”
Just when Emily was about to answer, a small voice came from the side. “You!”
Frank looked over. A toddler boy with his hand wrapped in a cast was pointing his finger at him. That face was familiar, likewise with his
movements.
“Louis?” Frank was stunned.
‘What’s wrong with these kids? Why do I always meet them on the same day? And why do they always remind me of Kara?’
Suddenly, Emily struggled down from the chair. Seeing her in trouble, Frank helped.
“Louis, why are you here? You can’t move much yet,” Emily sighed worriedly.
Frank gasped. He just realized that the two children had quite similar face. ‘They are twins?’ NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
“I caught up because you took so long. I was afraid you’d get into trouble,” Louis’said in a half-whisper.
“How did you get down? Your hand was injured.”

Louis shrugged one shoulder. “By the chair Grandma was sitting. It wasn’t difficult.” After one blink, his gaze turned to Frank, who still bent his knees at the side of the chair.
“Emily, why are you with this evil man?” he asked in an unhappy tone. He now lowered his face so that his eyes were angled upwards. His cheeks puffed out and his lips pursed. He thought it could give a scary impression.
“He’s not a bad person, Louis. This is the man I told you about-the CEO who has lots of bodyguards.”
Louis spontaneously rounded his eyes. “The guy who bumped into you in the library?”
Emily nodded innocently. “Yes. Earlier, we bumped into each other again. But he immediately picked me up and returned Yemon to me. He’s a good person.”
“Don’t believe that, Emily. I’ve met him too. He’s a mean and rude
man. He even accused me of being a spy and forbade me from leaving.”
Emily glanced at Frank as if in disbelief. “Really? But he looks nice. He also made hot chocolate for me.”
Louis glanced over the table. A paper cup was still emitting steam.
“You haven’t drunk it, have you?”
“Not yet.”
“Good. Now, we better go back to the room. Mommy will be worried if
she doesn’t see us there.”
After pulling his sister behind his back, Louis stepped forward with his fist raised: “If you dare approach my sister again, I will hit you.”
Frank sighed in disbelief. Such a small toddler dared to threaten him?
Smiling crookedly, Frank shifted his gaze towards Emily. “Yo Your brother is very brave.”
Unexpectedly, Louis stepped aside to block Frank’s view. “Even
ght.
though my body is small, my strength is strong. Your cheek would be bruised if it hit my fist.”
Then, still with furrowed brows, he turned to face his sister. “Come on, Emily. Let’s get out of here.” He grabbed the little girl’s hand and pulled her away.
Frank secretly smiled watching the little hero’s adorable actions. For some reason, there was a feeling of emotion and pride in his heart. When Louis looked back, he returned the boy’s cynical gaze with a sweet smile.
“They’re so cute.”
Strangely, when the boy turned back to face the front, a strange feeling penetrated his chest, as if something had disappeared from
him.
“Emily, how could you think that he was our Daddy? Yes, his eyes are gray and his face looks a little like mine, but other than that… we don’t look alike at all. We are good children, while he is a bad person.”
Emily glanced over with a tangled expression. “He’s not a bad person, Louis. He’s good to me. When he hugged me earlier, I felt warm again.”
Louis sighed helplessly. “What is clear, he is not our Daddy. You can’t get close to him anymore, Emily.”
Holding Yemon to her chin, Emily walked after Louis. She no longer denied it. Her mind was busy reviewing her brief moment with the gray -eyed man.

Meanwhile, Frank kept highlighting the twins. The further
the more the warmth in his heart faded.
“Okay, the intermezzo is over.” He jerked an eyebrow and took out his phone.
There had been no incoming message from Wela. Like it or not, he opened the navigation application. A red dot was not far from the
cafeteria.
Frank raised an eyebrow and began to think deeply. “She’s in the park? “With big, light footsteps, he went to check.
As soon as he walked out the door, the night breeze brought a citrus aroma to his nose. Frank spontaneously turned around.
Kara was sitting alone on a bench near the garden lamp. Her head was bowed looking at something. Frank smiled when he saw several diamonds reflected the light in her hand.
‘She’s using the phone I gave her.’
Frank pressed his hat to his face then followed the path to Kara’s back. Right at that moment, the woman looked up and let out a heavy sigh. Her shoulders were shaking. Frank’s steps suddenly stopped. His eyes were rounded and his chest was tight. “Kara’s crying?”
“Why did it happen? How could he?” Kara groaned softly. A moment later, she raised the phone to her ear. “Rowan Harper, this has gone too far.”
Frank turned still. He even held her breath, not wanting to miss a single word that came out softly from Kara’s lips.
“I have kept my distance from your grandson. I no longer listen to what he says, and I don’t even smile in front of him. It’s not my fault that Isabela failed to get his attention. But why would you break the deal? You shouldn’t disturb my family.”
