Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father

34. Unusual Attention

After Wela closed the door, Frank moved closer to Kara. One of his hand rose to stroke her pale cheek. His movements were so light as if he was afraid of increasing the pain there.

“I’m sorry,” he whispered softly. “If I knew this could happen, I would have let you eat Ben’s chocolate.”

Frank thought he would feel better after saying those words. But apparently not, the image of Kara stumbling into his arms recurred more and more often. Her groan pierced his heart.

After one quick breath, Frank rose from the edge of the bed. It would be better for him to continue working than to dwell on regrets.

When she woke up, Kara immediately frowned. Her head still felt heavy, but the world wasn’t spinning like before.

“Are you still dizzy?”

Kara looked to the side. Frank was standing with his hands stuffed in his pockets. He was dressed casually.

Instead of answering, Kara sat down. Knowing she was in the CEO’s bed, her brows furrowed.

“Don’t be surprised,” Frank interrupted before Kara could ask. “I just want to make up for my grandfather’s harsh treatment.”

Kara took a deep breath. Pursing her lips, she got out of bed.

However, because she got up too quickly, she lost her balance. A

second later, she landed in Frank’s arms.

“Are you still dizzy?” Frank asked worriedly.

“Like you care?”

Kara’s voice was so cold. Frank was stunned to hear that. He didn’t even dare to stop Kara from getting out of his grip.

Kara looked around for a moment. “I want to go home.” No thanks followed. Instead, she took her bag and phone on the table.

Before Kara could go any further, Frank grabbed her arm. “Wait. You can’t go yet. The doctor asked you to rest until you fully recover.”

“I’ve recovered.”

“You think I’m stupid? You clearly lost your balance earlier.”

Kara blinked. There was no change in her cold expression.

“Stop bothering me, Frank Harper. I don’t want any more accusations. Your cruel grandfather could come and see me here. I don’t want to die yet.”

Frank let out a quick sigh. He had risked his grandfather’s trust for Kara’s sake. Why did the girl act as if she was the only one who was wronged?

“You know that this isn’t entirely my fault, right? You were the one who dared to challenge my grandfather.”

“Then, should I let your bodyguard be fired because of your childish behavior?”

Frank’s annoyed laughter began to air. He had defended Kara, but the girl was mean to him? “You have amnesia, hmm? You were the one who snatched the box from me first. It’s only natural that I held it.”

Kara sighed in resignation. She was too tired to argue.

“Okay. I was in the wrong. Therefore, please allow me to leave now. I will submit my resignation letter later. You will no longer be bothered by me from tomorrow.”

Just as Kara was about to take a step, Frank grabbed her arm again. Kara glared at him. “Let me go.”

Kara jerked her arms away, but Frank turned her around and grabbed both of her shoulders.

Their gazes met. Frank seemed a bit nervous. His lips trembled as if he had difficulty gathering his voice. “Forgive me.”

Kara flinched. Her eyes trembled at the sincere face. She thought her hearing was affected by the slap. However, the sentence was heard again.

“Really… I’m sorry.”

Frank swallowed hard. His breathing was heavy. Various feelings swirled in his chest, impatiently waiting for Kara’s response.

“You apologize? To me?”

As soon as Frank nodded, Kara let out a laugh. Her head shook in disbelief.

The man once left her in a hotel, left her to face slander alone, and made her a single mother of the twins. If Frank could apologize, why didn’t he do so four years ago?

“You said only selfish people say sorry. Is your guilt that bad that you would rather just spit that rubbish out of your mouth?”

“Yes,” Frank replied unexpectedly. “Seeing Sean slap you that hard, I felt very guilty. And I just realized that the word sorry is more than just an expression of peace, but also a fear of loss.”

Kara’s eyes started to fill with tears. It was hard to believe that the man in front of her was Frank Harper-the man who had thrown her away long time ago.

“Are you afraid of losing me?” she asked hoarsely.

Frank suddenly lowered his hand towards Kara’s fingers. After holding it tightly, he took a deep breath.

“A sincere apology is impossible for selfish people. When a man. apologizes, it means he put other people’s interests above his ego. It takes great courage for someone to be able to admit mistakes and defeat in the truth. Because of that….”

Frank swallowed hard. “I hope you will respect my courage. I am guilty and I promise not to bully you again.”

Kara fell silent, looking into the gray eyes that reflected her gloom. There were no lies or falsehoods there. However, she didn’t want to be careless.

“I don’t need an apology, but proof.”

“That’s why I ask you to rest here tonight. Let my personal doctor examine you one more time. You can go home after she declares

your

condition well. I would feel even guiltier if your mother found out that someone had slapped her daughter and given her a concussion.”

Kara’s defenses suddenly faltered. What Frank said was true. Susan would definitely worry and the twins will cry if her condition didn’t

improve.

Seeing the doubt on Kara’s face, Frank smiled a little. Gently, he directed the girl to sit on the bed.

“Now please wait here. I will contact Wela to come immediately. I will also ask the servant to bring you dinner. You don’t need to think about anything. Just focus on your recovery. Understand?”

Kara didn’t answer. She was still confused by Frank’s changes and her awry position. She didn’t want to worry her family, but she didn’t want to stay in his room either.

However, as Kara was about to ask for another room, Frank had

‘Why is he suddenly nice to me? Does he really feel guilty? Or is he starting to be interested in me?’

‘No. That can’t happen. Frank Harper is the source of my suffering. The twins could be threatened if I kept in touch with him.”

‘I should’ve kept my distance from that Perverted Demon. But why are we even closer now? He even defended me from his cruel grandfather.

Suddenly, Kara remembered the scholarship the twins had received. Imagining her children facing that heartless old man, she shuddered in horror.

“I’d better contact them so they don’t worry,” she muttered softly.

Afraid that Frank would suddenly come in, Kara informed the twins. via message. She said that she had to stay at the hotel because of important matters.

Right after she sent the message, an unknown number called her. Even though she was hesitant, Kara finally received the call.
