- A Gift from Frank
Everyone suddenly turned around. At that moment, Susan came in carrying several bags. “Let’s see whether your plan is just a talk or not.
“Grandma!” Emily ran to hug Susan.
Instead of saying hello, Louis pursed his lips and emphasized his head movements. “It’s not a difficult thing, Grandma. Just wait and see. I can sit pretty all day.”
“Okay. Let’s see….”
Chuckling, Susan stroked the head of the grandchild who was still holding her leg. “Princess, are you hungry? Sorry Grandma is a bit late.
Emily shook her head slowly as if she was afraid her hair would get messy. “The nurse who delivered food to Louis gave me milk. She’s my new fan. I have to appreciate her gift. So, I drank it straight away.”
“A new fan?” Susan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Kara.
Kara snorted a smile. After taking the bag containing their dirty
clothes, she kissed the twins’ heads, one by one.
“Little Angels, Mommy has to leave now. Mom, please take extra care
of Louis and Emily because they have more and more fans.”
Susan’s laugh returned to the air. “Don’t worry. I won’t be careless again. Now, don’t you want to have breakfast first?”
Taking a lunch bag from her mother, Kara shook her head. “I can do it later. My work is piling up. I have to come early.”
“When Mommy’s work is finished, can Mommy come straight here?”

LOUIS PICUucu.
“Don’t worry, Louis. Mister Kind will definitely allow Mommy to come home quickly. Let’s just pray that Mommy’s work goes smoothly.” Emily nodded firmly.
Kara smiled sadly. Emily trusted her “father” too much.
After Kara left, Susan opened the lunch box. Emily moved to check what her grandmother had brought beside the breakfast.
“Grandma, where is Yemon? Is he not dry yet? I hope Yemon isn’t lonely,” she said as she sat next to Susan. Her pouted lips make her look even more adorable.
“Don’t worry, Princess. Your mother hung it at the window, so Yemon can look outside and not get bored. Now let’s eat with Grandma. Louis, do you want to eat again?”
The boy shook his head. His gaze was fixed on the phone. “I’m still full, Grandma. And I’m busy building an apartment right now.”
“Building an apartment?” A man’s voice suddenly came from the door.
Everyone looked over.
“Mister Kind?” Emily’s eyes lit up.
Receiving that sweet welcome, Frank’s smile turned warmer. “Good morning, Emily, Louis, Mrs. Martin.”
In an instant, the tiny girl slipped off the couch and ran to hug the man. Susan didn’t blink at the sight.
“Good morning, Mr. Harper,” Susan said stiffly. She didn’t really know
the man in front of her. Why was Emily so clingy to him?
“What brings you coming here so early, Sir? Kara just left,” Susan continued after a blink.

Grimacing, Frank lifted the shopping bags in his hand. “I felt guilty because I didn’t bring anything yesterday. So, today, I want to make up for it.”
Susan’s smile turned awkward. “That’s very kind of you, but you don’t
need to bother, Sir.”
“Yes, you don’t need to bother, Mister Kind. Your help yesterday alone was very meaningful.”
Frank could not resist Emily’s charm. Smiling, he put the bags on the couch and carried his little daughter.
“Sweet Girl, aren’t we friends? As a friend, it’s only natural for me to help you.”
“Mr. Grumpy, I hope you don’t forget. I don’t approve of your
relationship yet,” Louis lowered the phone to his lap. His eyes were looking at Frank sharply.
Hearing those words, Susan widened her eyes even more. Her neck was so stiff that only her eyeballs moved.
Frank realized the meaning of that expression. Quick as lightning, he grabbed a medium-sized blue bag, making it clear the purpose of his
arrival.
“I heard you like cars. So, I hope you like this, Buddy.”
Louis narrowed his eyes. “You bribe me?”
Frank gasped. His hand which had just placed the bag on the bed was frozen. “No. This is a gift because I applaud your bravery. Consider
this as an award.”
Louis checked the contents of the bag. When he saw the latest limited edition car toy, his eyes widened. However, not wanting Frank to see his excitement, he quickly lowered his eyebrows.

“This is clearly a bribe. You want me to approve of your relationship with Emily and Mommy. I don’t want to accept it.” He pursed his lips, puffed out his cheeks, and turned his eyes upwards-his signature expression when he wanted to look fierce.
“Louis?” Susan rebuked softly.
Louis’ guts instantly shrank. Scratching his temple, he finally snorted. “Okay. Since you’ve bothered to buy this, I’m willing to accept it.
Thank you, Mr. Grumpy.”
Frank’s heart tingled again. He smiled and nodded. “You’re welcome, Buddy.”
Even though Louis sounded insincere, Frank knew that the boy was just playing hard to get. His sparkling eyes couldn’t lie. He clearly liked the toy.
A second later, his eyes turned to the little girl who was secretly extending her neck, wanting to see the contents of the pink bag on
the couch.
“Princess, I also have a gift for you.”
The curve of Emily’s lips stretched perfectly. Holding her breath, she accepted her gift. “Thank you, Mister Kind.” She shook the bag which was slightly bigger than Louis’.
Susan subconsciously clenched her hand under her chin. Her brain. was thinking hard. She had never seen the twins interact with a man
so intimately.
‘Is it possible… this man is interested in Kara? That’s why he’s trying to get the children’s attention? Louis even thinks that this man is bribing him.’
“Open it!” Frank’s exclamation interrupted Susan’s thoughts. “I want to know whether I made the right choice or not.”

Still in the man’s arms, Emily reached her head into the bag. “Wow, Barbie doll?”
Emily’s laughter immediately touched Frank’s heart.
“Yes. Do you like it? There are lots of dresses and jewelry you can choose for the doll.”
“And there are shoes and a bag too?” When Emily looked up, her eyes reflected a warm light.
Frank locked a smile and nodded. His heart just drifted through the
nine clouds.
Suddenly, Emily hugged his neck tightly. If he hadn’t been alert, the Barbie would have fallen.
“Thank you very much, Mr. Kind. This is the best birthday present ever got from a friend.”
A part of Frank’s heart broke when he heard that. Emily still
considered him a friend.
“Your birthday is still two weeks away, Princess. This is an ordinary gift. I plan to give you something nicer for your birthday next time.”
“Is it true?” Emily’s eyes lit up even more.
Before Frank could nod, Susan spoke. “Sorry, Mister Harper. I don’t think you need to bother preparing anything for Louis and Emily’s birthday. This alone is more than enough.”
The old woman felt embarrassed considering the difference in status between them. Even though Frank was targeting Kara, he was a big
boss.
