emy held back a smile. He already understood. Frank always used fiancee to hide his true feeling.

er nodding, Jeremy retreated to the side of the wall. He busied

anwhile, Frank let out a faint sigh. He felt like a fool. Jeremy’s sing was not something easy to deal with.

Emily spread her arms with a cheerful face, Kara was stunned. In. tr

“I wonder why Emily likes this shelf so much. In fact, those books will also be ours to school,” Louis grumbled, folding his arms
on We ar in front of his chest. His cheeks puffed out and his lips pursed. He hoped Emily wouldn’t stay too long because he still had to take Kara to the technology section.
“That’s precisely why I’m excited, Louis. We have to get to know these books before the school starts. We get the scholarship, so we have to be smart kids.”
Kara smiled bitterly. After taking a deep breath, she bent her knees and tucked Emily’s hair behind her ear.
“Aren’t you guys smart? You can read and count. Other toddler your age may not be able to,” Kara said gently.
Emily shook her head in disagreement. “Just being smart is not enough, Mommy. Louis and I have to be the best students. There may be a friend smarter than us. We can’t lose so we can keep the scholarship.”
Suddenly, Louis took a deep breath. His eyebrows showed his
sincerity. “Emily is right. Why didn’t think of that? We have to be the smartest students if we want to study at Savior Kindergarten without fee.”
Kara’s eyes started to fill with tears. She actually planned to explain the situation in the afternoon, telling the twins that they would be better off looking for another school. However, seeing such burning enthusiasm to study in the place they dreamed of, how could she have the heart to crush it?
“You guys can’t wait to study there, hmm?” Kara inquired in a slightly trembling voice.

Luckily, the twins didn’t catch it. The two tiny, chubby-cheeked toddlers nodded simultaneously.
“Yeah, I heard, the playground there is really cool. There are many high -tech toys. I can invite my new friends to try it during break time.”
“I heard the library is cool too. There are many works of art displayed in the hallways. Maybe, I can create something to display there later or write a book!”
Kara bit her lip but forced a smile. The twins should not know her sadness. “Mommy is very lucky. My two little angels never stop making me happy.”
“We’re also lucky to have a great Mommy,” Louis nodded with confidence.
“Yeah! Mommy never made us sad. Because of that, we promise not to make Mommy sad,” Emily continued, showing her tiny teeth.
Kara spread her arms. Louis and Emily slipped into her hug. They laughed a little while patting Kara’s back. The innocent toddlers had no idea that above their heads, their mother closed her eyes to hide
tears.
‘Is there a way to keep them away from that school? Or should I fal
their identities?”
While rubbing her children’s backs, Kara thought hard.
‘Or… should I look for a job in M City again? May be, the twins can accept it or even become happy to return to their old home.”
After a brief moment of contemplation, Kara took a breath of hope.
“Yes, I have to look for a new job in M City. Finnic probably isn’t watching me anymore. He must be busy preparing for hist approaching wedding. M City is much safer now than here.”

Two days without Kara, Frank had returned to his cold and angry self. He never stopped commenting on the employees and did not hesitate to fire the worst. The guards weren’t even allowed to make a sound. Just one coughing, they immediately got a push up penalty.
“Excuse me, Sir.”
Hearing his assistant’s voice, Frank glared. His hands no longer touch the keyboard. “Didn’t I tell you not to talk?”
“Sorry, Sir. But this is important. I just received news that the other party postponed the meeting this afternoon.”
“The reason?” The CEO’s furrowed brows deepened.
“They want to see the final trials first.”
Frank clenched his jaw. As soon as his focus returned to the monitor,
his fingers moved nimbly again. “Cross them off the list.”
Jeremy spontaneously raised an eyebrow. “You sure, Sir?”
“Don’t make me say it twice. I really don’t like working with inconsistent people like that.”
Jeremy nodded and stepped back. His expression was stiff. H as he turned to face the door, his eyes lit up. “Miss Martin?”
Frank spontaneously turned around. As soon as he found Kara heart pounded and warmed his chest. The cold impression disappeared from his face. If Jeremy wasn’t there, he would have approached the secretary and hugged her tightly.
“Good afternoon, Sir,” Kara said flatly. “Can we talk privately?”
Jeremy immediately pointed his finger towards the door. “What a coincidence, I have to take care of something outside.”
Kara didn’t say thank you. Her lips looked heavy. She just nodded and let Jeremy pass.
“Where have you been lately? You’re tired of living, hmm? You’re lucky because my grandfather is out of town on business,” Frank said with his eyebrows knitted together. But, under the table, his hands were clenched tightly to contain his longing.
Kara looked down. Without any sound, she approached the CEO’s desk and placed a letter.
“I resign. Sorry for all the fuss I made. I will start paying the fine next month.”
“Are you kidding me? You think my grandfather will let you get away? You attacked me in front of him. He even deliberately revealed my secret so he would have more reason to finish you off.”
Frank’s voice was so loud. He didn’t care if the room was not soundproof. His anger had boiled over.
