Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father

S31 10. Sophia's Misfortune “Louis is naughty. Does he think I'm an adult? I'm not even as old as Brandon,” Emily grumbled in annoyance. The others smiled at her. They immediately sat around her on the mat, ready to listen to a story that tickled their hearts. “Isn't their family very cute?” Sophia sighed, breaking Diana's thoughts. The old woman blinked then turned to her. “Sophie, since when have you been standing there? Come on, sit next to me. I'm enjoying the morning air. Abigail said | should relax more today.” Sophia smiled slightly. After placing two cups of tea on the table, she took an empty chair which also faced the back yard-facing the Harper family to be more precise. “Wow, you made me tea again? You are the best, Sweet Girl.” Diana lifted a cup and took a small sip. “Erm, this chamomile tea is really delicious. You're good at brewing it, Sophie. And you really understand when I'm having trouble sleeping.” The curve of Sophia's lips turned stiff. Diana was steering the conversation so as not to discuss the things she wanted to discus “Grandma, can | ask you something?” The joy on Diana's face froze. Her eyes briefly looked misty. “What?” Her vocal cords seemed to be strangled. “I heard that Frank is your grandson. But why does it seem like there is such a big distance between you? You aren't warm to his children and you aren't friendly to his wife either.” her fell silent. Her clenched lips trembled to contain the turmoil of heart. “Please don’t misunderstand, Grandma. I'm not asking because | want to interfere. | just want to reduce your burden.” Sophia stroked Diana's arm. “Do you realize that today you are more easily carried away by emotions? Your eye bags are even thicker. | know that you're holding something back. So please, share your worries with me. It can make you feel more relieved. If not, | would be very worried about your health.” The longer Diana stared at Sophia, the greater tremor spread through her body. Before the tea in her hand spilled, she quickly put the cup on the table. “I'm fine. There’s nothing you need to worry about.” Diana glanced at the yard. “Are you sure?” Diana gritted her teeth. “Yes.” Sophia withdrew her hand from Diana's arm. Her eyebrows weighed down her forehead. “Do you know, Grandma?” Her tone sounded desperate. “Actually, | owe Frank a favor.” Diana's eyes were lured back to Sophia. “Owe a favor? How is that possible?” Sophia's smile turned wry. While looking at the man who was holding Emily, she let out a long sigh. “On my wedding day, Finnic had doubts.” “He started to doubt you that day?” Diana stared wide-eyed. Sophia nodded. “Yes, it turns out he invited his ex-girlfriend. That woman came and made Finnic even more unsteady.” “My God! How shameless that woman is!” Sophia patted the back of Diana's hand, trying to calm her anger. “That's not the focus of our conversation, but Frank. He was the one who convinced Finnic to still marry me.” Diana's forehead grew wrinkled. “Why do you feel indebted to him? If he hadn't done that, you would have been saved from a wrong marriage.” “Frank has saved me from embarrassment, Grandma. Imagine if Finnic suddenly canceled the wedding. Where would | put my face? We were on a cruise ship. | couldn't possibly throw myself into the sea to get away from people.” Diana took a deep breath. The look on her face was still annoyed. Even so, you still don’t need to feel indebted to him.” “Frank is actually kind, Grandma. He's the most caring and reliable man I've ever known. Because of that, | really hope you don’t hate him too much.” Diana shook her head faintly. Her hands gripped the determination tighter. “It doesn’t change anything, Sophie.” “I don’t know what caused your anger towards him. But, | hope that fact can calm your emotions a little “How long have you known him?” Diana said, making Sophia flin slightly. “Since the day before my wedding day.” Diana sneered. “You can't say that you really know someone in such a short time, Sophie. You just haven't seen the hidden spots.” Sophia sighed in resignation. “I couldn't convince you, apparently.” With a languid look, she grabbed the cup and sipped her tea. Meanwhile, Diana fell into deeper contemplation. “Does he really like to interfere?” Sophia raised an eyebrow and lowered the cup. “What do you mean?” “Are Frank and Finnic good friends?” Diana said, still with knitted eyebrows. Sophia considered for a moment. “I don't think so.” “Then how did he convince that bastard to marry you?” Sophia gasped. The question seemed to clog up her throat. “And why did he care about your marriage? You said you just met at that time,” Diana continued, adding to the burden on Sophia's shoulders.

“About that,” Sophia slowly looke down, “I think he asdrying fokéep iQ peate Please read the original content at NovelDrama.Org.

With a bitter smile, Sophia looked up. Her eyes were now filled wit tess “Finnic’s x-girifiend & Panis wie.

Her hand rubbed Diana's shoulder, hoping it would calm her. “Don't make it loud, Grandma. | won't feel comfortable if Kara and Frank hear.” Diana snorted. “I didn’t judge wrongly. There’s something wrong with that woman. It turns out she’s that bad? She even had the heart to ruin her ex-boyfriend's marriage to another woman? Who does she think she is?” Sophia shook her head. “No, Grandma. Kara didn’t mean it. She came as Frank's companion. Besides, Finnic invited her.” “If she did not come, you would still be happy.” “And we would never meet?” Sophia continued, shrugging one shoulder. While forcing her smile to widen, she took a deep breath. “No, Grandma. Even if Kara didn’t come to our wedding, Finnic and | would still be separated. He didn't really love me, Grandma. He only saw me as a woman who could compete with his ex-girlfriend. Maybe he wanted revenge.” With a look of pity, Diana stroked Sophia's hair. “l am so sorry you had to suffer such an unfortunate fate.” “Maybe this is my destiny. We can’t change destiny, right?” For a long time, Diana stared at Sophia without a word. After lowering her hands back to her lap, she began to look at Frank with a face that was hard to describe. “I hope I'm as strong as you were.” Sophia blinked. Her head was slightly forward. “I think you are stronger than me.” Diana shook her head weakly. “No, Sophie. Not at all. | used to be too weak.” Diana's tears thickened. Her mind had been absorbed by the past. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
