Chapter 79
- Not a Bad Person
Before Louis could decide, Kara held him back. “Honey, where do you know him?” Kara asked worriedly..
“He’s the man who was bumped into Emily, Mommy,” Louis said tightly.
Kara was stunned. He did not know that fate had its own way of bbringing children together with their father.
Ffrank understood the meaning behind that expression. Carrying EEmily, he walked towards Kara.

Kara was running out of excuses. She couldn’t possibly endanger the safety of the twins. Like it or not, she handed Louis over to Frank.
Frank accepted Louis with a heavy breath. His eyes couldn’t leave Kara. He knew the woman didn’t want the twins close to him.
“Your body is so small and weak, while the kids keep getting heavier. You don’t have to fight alone and pretend to be strong, Kara. I can help you carry them. And you don’t need to worry either. I can
guarantee their safety.”
Kara’s lips pressed tightly. She understood the meaning behind that statement. Frank wanted them to be together. That’s what she once dreamed of-finding a good man to make their family complete.
However, Frank was the twins’ biological father, a man who would cause great danger. If his business wedding was cancelled people’ would definitely be in an uproar. The company’s stock fel
the Harper family’s reputation. Rowan’s wrath was the end.
“I don’t want to take any risks,” Kara sighed before walking first edge.
Frank could only stare at her back in silence. He couldn’t understand
her fear.
‘Does she think I’m incapable of protecting children? Am I that weak in her eyes?’
While grumbling to himself, Frank stepped towards the forklift.
“Mommy isn’t as strong as you, Mister Grumpy. But it doesn’t mean she’s weak,” Louis said later with puffed cheeks.
“Yes, Mommy is a great woman. When I grow up, I want to be like Mommy.”
Louis sneered at his sister. “That means you have to exercise more, Emily. You’re very weak now. You even failed to jump out of the car.”
“Emily failed?” Frank glanced at the little girl. Her tiny lips were now pursed.
“I fell when I got out of the car,” she admitted, stroking her knee.
Frank looked down. There was a blood-stained tear on Emily’s pants, right at the knee. “Does it hurt?”
Emily nodded cutely. “It hurt, but I didn’t have time to cry. I was too panicked. Louis was already pulling me to run.”
Previously, Frank had never cared about any child. He often donated to the orphanage, but it’s just to share. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
However, hearing Emily’s confession, his heart felt like it was being cut. It felt the same as seeing Kara cry.
“Once we get to the bottom, let’s treat your wound.”
Emily’s smile returned. “Did you hear that, Louis? He really is
Louis snorted jealously. “We shouldn’t trust him easily, Emily. M Grumpy has only helped us once. He could be nice because he is up to something.”
“Louis, can you stop calling me Mr. Grumpy? I have a name too,” Frank grumbled softly. He could understand the feelings of parents who were not respected by their children.
“What is your full name, Mr. Kind?” Emily tilted her head.
Frank turned towards the sweet voice. “Frank Harper.” His eyes turned warm.
“That’s a bad name.” Louis laughed lightly.
Frank’s expression became stiff again. However, before he could

Louis pursed his lips. “Yes. After my hand has healed, I can play with rubik’s cubes and cars. I can also run and jump again. It’s much more exciting than the games on Mommy’s phone.”
“Is that phone with you?” Frank asked in a half whisper.
Louis glanced at the cloth supporting his hands. “It is here.”
“Then why don’t you guys answer the phone?”
“When we were kidnapped, we kept it in Yemon. It was on vibrate mode,” Emily said with wide eyes.
“After that, we were busy running away. We’re afraid that it would suddenly ring and the criminal would hear, so we changed it to silent mode before going up the stairs,” Louis continued in a half-whispe

“Little Bee,” Kara interrupted while caressing Emily’s sweat-soaked hair. The longer Frank talked to the twins, the bigger threat she felt. She must immediately grab their attention.
