Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father

97. Picnic on the Beach

Hearing Emily’s report, Louis widened his eyes. He quickly covered. the lunch box in front of him. Seeing her son’s behavior, Kara put on a wise expression.

“Honey, we shouldn’t waste food. There are a lot of hungry people out there. We should be grateful for what’s on our plate. So, come on. Finish your broccoli.”

“But I don’t like it,” Louis sulked. “Besides, I just need protein and carbohydrates to build muscle and get strong.”

“Who says it?” Frank interrupted while widening his eyes behind the sunglasses. “Broccoli contains several vitamins and minerals,

including calcium which is good for bones.”

Louis’ mouth suddenly rounded. “So, this frizzy vegetable can also make me stronger?”

“Yes.” Kara stuck her fork into a piece of broccoli and brought it to Louis’ mouth. “Aren’t you still going to eat it?”

“If only I had known the benefits from a long time ago, I would not have quietly thrown away my broccoli.” Louis eagerly devoured his

food.

Realizing that their cooperation was quite good, Kará glanced at her boss with a faint smile. ‘It turns out he knows how to educate

children?’

For the first time, Kara was willing to admit the CEO’s softer side.

“Mommy,” Louis called with his mouth still full, “as a sign of my love, eat this broccoli. You have to be strong too.”

Louis put a piece of broccoli in front of Kara’s mouth. The woman

your broccoli would run out quickly? The benefits wouldn’t be optimal

then.”

The toddler shook his head innocently. “No. This is a sign of my love. In the future, I promise I will finish my broccoli.”

While smiling, Kara accepted the broccoli. “Thank you, Little Bee.”

“You’re welcome, Mommy.” Then, he poked another piece. “This is for Emily. You should also eat calcium. Your bones are still not strong enough.”

The little girl suddenly frowned. “Louis, I also have broccoli in my lunch box.” She moved his mouth away from the fork, but Louis kept insisting.

Frank laughed at the toddler’s behavior. However, when Louis handed him the broccoli, his face immediately turned stiff.

“Since Emily doesn’t want to, this is for you.”

Frank’s heart tingled with a strange sensation. His eyes flickered with disbelief. “This is … a sign of your affection for me?”

Louis shrugged his shoulders. “Let’s just say that. You’re kind enough to take us on a picnic today.”

In an instant, Frank’s eyes filled with tears. The broccoli was like a diamond to him. “Thank you, Buddy.”

With a light heart, he accepted Louis’ fork. Kara silently held her breath watching that. For some reason, she seemed to feel that their family was now complete.

After breakfast, the sun rose higher. Kara applied the sunscreen to Louis, while Frank applied it to Emily

“Done,” Kara exclaimed, touching her son’s pointy nose.

“Woohoo! Thank you, Mommy. Can we build the sand castle now?”

Emily glanced, pouting. “Wait a minute! I’m not finished yet.” Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

As soon as Louis saw his sister’s face, he burst out laughing. “Emily, your face is so funny. You’re like a clown!” It was too white and smudged.

Emily’s eyebrows suddenly arched high. “What’s wrong with my face?” Her eyes seemed to be shaking.

“It’s nothing, Emily. Your sunscreen just isn’t even. Please be patient for a moment.” Frank was still trying his best. He rubbed her cheeks, but the cream remained messy.

Witnessing Frank’s efforts, Kara almost laughed. Before Emily cried, she waved her hand, “Come here, Little Bee. Let Mommy fix it for you.”

While pouting, Emily moved to her mother. “You said you could put sunscreen on me?” Her eyes darted to Frank. Her voice sounded disappointed.

The man grimaced. He realized that Emily was similar to him. They both hated it when their appearance was not perfect. Could it be that the little girl stopped liking him just because of one thing?

“Sorry, Emily. I shouldn’t have put on so much sunscreen,” he sighed heavily. Now, he could only hope that Emily didn’t inherit his temperament too.

Hearing that regret, Kara was intrigued. Smiling, she comforted her daughter. “Don’t be sad, Little Bee. This way, your skin will actually be better protected from the sun. And … tada! You’re beautiful again.”

“Is my sunscreen done?” Emily showed her face to everyone.

“You should not fix it, Emily. That clown face suits you better,” Louis teased, chuckling.

“But Emily, no matter what happens, you are still beautiful. You shouldn’t worry about your appearance.” Frank rubbed the little girl’s

back.

Regaining his confidence, the toddler stopped pouting. After putting on her hat and sunglasses, she called out, “Well then, come on, Louis, Philip! Let’s build a sand castle now.”

Together, they approached the coastline. Their hands were full of

buckets and shovels.

“It’s a shame your mother can’t join us. The kids would be happier if she were here.”

Kara spontaneously stole a glance. Frank turned out to be smiling warmly at her.

“Some people just don’t like traveling as they get older,” she said casually.

“What about you? When the kids are older, would you be interested in traveling with me?”

Kara narrowed her eyes and shook her head in disbelief. “Why am I traveling with you?”

“Because I’m your husband and you’re my wife. Isn’t it normal for couples to travel together?”

Shaking her head, Kara began to apply sunscreen to her own skin. She was too lazy to discuss the topic, let alone debate.

“Need help?”

Kara glanced at him with a slightly cynical look. “No. I don’t want it to

go viral. We’re not the only ones on this beach, Frank.”

“That means you don’t mind if it’s just the two of us?”

Kara gaped, at a loss for words. While she laughed dryly, Frank handed Kara his sunscreen bottle.

“Want to help me? You’re my secretary. People will think I told you to. Besides, isn’t paying attention to my appearance on your to-do list?”

The woman smiled crookedly. “It’s not working hours.”

Frank’s shoulders drooped. “Too bad.”

Pursing his lips, he smeared sunscreen on his face casually. “Why don’t you wear the bikini I prepared?”

Kara looked down at the sleeveless t-shirt and shorts she was wearing. “I’m more comfortable wearing this.”

“You don’t like showing off your body?”

Kara shrugged. Frank should have known that answer.

While continuing to add sunscreen to his face, the man muttered, What a dream woman. I didn’t choose you wrongly. By the way, is my

sunscreen even?”

Kara let out a laugh. “You smeared it carelessly so that I would fix it, hmmm?”

“There are no mirrors here.” Frank raised both hands innocently.

Shaking her head, Kara turned around. “Come here.”

Instantly, Frank’s smile returned. Meanwhile, from a distance, a toddler squinted. His chubby cheeks looked puffy. “Look! Mr, Harper dares to approach Mommy again.”

Emily looked back. Seeing the closeness between Frank and Kara, she laughed. “Well, that’s actually good!”

Worried that Louis would ruin their mother’s “date”, she quickly pointed her finger. “Look! Philip has finished digging.”

A second later, she thrust the shovel into Louis’ hand. “Come on, Louis! Let’s build a magnificent sand castle. Philip, you still want to help us, right?”

“My pleasure, Young Lady. What should I do?”

Like it or not, Louis had to forget about the CEO and start explaining the plans in his head. After that, the three of them focused on piling

the sand.
