Chapter 105
- Frank Harper is Our Daddy
Susan gaped and let out a quick sigh. Something seemed to be stuck in her throat. “Young Master Harper… is your Daddy?”
Louis nodded slowly.
With shaking eyes, Susan looked forward again. There, Frank Harper stood still, while Kara looked down with one hand raised and clutching her head.
“Oh, I understand now.” Susan started nodding. Tears appeared in her eyes. “No wonder he was kind to us. Turns out he just wanted to make amends.”
After a faint snort, Susan grasped the hands of her two grandchildren. “Emily, Louis, let’s get out of here.”
“Mom….” Kara was about to stop them. However, she didn’t know what to explain.
With drooping shoulders, Kara was forced to watch her loved ones going down the stairs. Then, with an exasperated sigh, she looked at Frank as if asking for advice.
Unfortunately, Frank was also helpless. He was weak in facing the twin’s sadness and his feelings of guilt.
Amidst the chaos, there was only one person who looked excited. After brushing aside the guards’ hands, she muttered, “I warned you, Hubby. Storing trash in your house will only bring trouble.”
Then, with a triumphant smile, she walked past everyone, leaving

Grandpa.” Isabela stepped in and sat down in the
“Morning, my future granddaughter-in-law. Have you had breakfast?” Rowan made small talk. He knew the meaning of that bright
expression on her face.
“Yes, I stopped at the cafe after coming from your grandson’s house,”
Isabela answered with a smile.
“Have you carried out your duties?”
With a chuckle, Isabela nodded. “That cheap woman is really shameless. I’ve warned her repeatedly, but she still doesn’t listen. She really deserves to be taught a lesson.”
After wiping his mouth with a napkin, the old man let out a long sigh. That’s why you can’t let your guard down. Put your work aside for now. Even though Frank said he would marry you, you can’t let them get close.”
Isabela shrugged her shoulders. “Don’t worry, Grandpa. I gave them quite a big problem this morning. It won’t be easy to deal with. I will never let them in peace.”
“How are they now?” Rowan raised an eyebrow.
The corners of Isabela’s lips lifted again. “I berated that woman, embarrassed her in front of the servants and guards. If she still ha any dignity, she couldn’t possibly stay by Frank’s side.”
“Are you sure that’s enough?”
Isabela folded her arms across her chest. “That must be more than enough, Grandpa. Moreover, those kids hate Frank now. If that woman loved her kids, she’d be out of the way.”
Instead of smiling, Rowan furrowed his eyebrows. “You made them
The
curve of Isabel’s lips grew wider. “Yes, I forced Frank to admit that they were the children he abandoned. And apparently, they heard.”
Rowan’s expression dimmed. However, Isabel didn’t pay attention to him. Her tone became even lighter. “I remember very well, the little girl called Frank a bad person. I’m sure she would never forgive her own father. So, like it or not, that lowly woman had to take her children.
away.”
Suddenly, Rowan hit the table. The sound made Isabela flinch. “How dare you disobey my orders? I only asked you to make them irritated, but instead, you offended those children?”
Isabela swallowed hard. Cold sweat began to gather on her fine pores. “What’s wrong with it, Grandpa? Isn’t our goal to keep them away from Frank?”
“I only told you to keep that woman away from my grandson, not those genius children.”
Isabel blinked incomprehensibly. “What do you mean, Grandpa? You need those children?” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“Yes. They will be the ones who will continue Savior.”
A sigh escaped Isabela’s mouth quickly. Subconsciously, she started to stutter. “But, I’m going to marry Frank. Do you expect me to be thei mother? And if they inherit the company, what about my child?”
Rowan snorted. “If your child can surpass the abilities of them, he can take over the company. But if not, don’t expect it!”
Isabel secretly clenched her fists under the table. However, realizing her weak position, she could not say anything.
“Now, fix your mistake. Bring the children back to Frank’s side. Separate them from their mother.”
Isabela
almost snorted. While holding her breath, she tried to smile. ” Okay. I will make the children hate their mother. Influencing little kids is easy. Trust me.”
Carrying her bag, she got up from the chair. “Now I have to go. Please continue with your breakfast, Grandpa.”
After smiling goodbye, she walked towards the door.
‘You selfish old man! When I have become Frank’s wife, I’ll kick both of you out of the house. And those children, I’ll make sure they suffer.”

“Emily, are you still sad?” Louis asked the little girl sitting near the shelf.
Since this morning, Emily hadn’t made much sound. All she did was just blinking and breathing. Her hand didn’t leave Yemon even for a second.
“Aren’t you sad?” she replied softly. Her cheeks looked thinner without
a smile.
After sighing faintly, Louis sat down next to her. “I don’t know.
confused.”
Folding his legs, he muttered, “In my opinion, we are too young understand. I don’t know what happened that night. I don’t understand how he could be our Daddy. And I don’t know what al illegitimate child means. You know what an illegitimate child is?”
Getting no response, Louis glanced over. “It looks like you don’t kn either. This problem is too confusing for children our age.”
Emily furrowed her eyebrows as she digested Louis’ words. After moment of silence, she finally looked down and sighed. “I also don’ understand, Louis. But what is clear is that I am very disappointed in
“But don’t you like him? I thought you would be happy because your Mister Kind is our Daddy,” Louis said with round eyes.
However, Emily remained unenthusiastic. “Did you hear what
Grandma said earlier? He must be pretending to be good because he feels guilty for leaving us.”
Seeing Emily’s eyes fill with tears again, Louis held back his voice for a moment. Then, he asked softly. “So you don’t like him anymore?”
Emily put Yemon to her chin and hugged it tightly. “I don’t know. But
every
time I think about it, I feel like crying.”
Not wanting his little sister to be sad, Louis rubbed her shoulder. Let’s not think about it anymore. Now, do you want to read a fairy tale? There’s a new book there. Or do you want to call Mommy? It’s already break time.”
Still with pursed lips, Emily shook her head. She wasn’t in the mood to read, and she knew her mother was with Frank. If she heard their voices, her tears would no longer be able to be contained.
