1. Getting Close

“What are you doing here?” Frank asked softly.

Kara’s lips pursed. After returning her gaze towards the garden, she asked back, “Are the twins asleep?”

“Yes.” Silently, Frank took the seat next to her. “Emily didn’t want to

come out of her brother’s room earlier. She wanted to hear me read a

book to Louis too even though I had finished a book of fairy tales in

her room.”

Kara glanced thinly. “Now they sleep together?”

“No. I moved Emily after she fell asleep.”

Kara jerked an eyebrow. Hugging herself, she grumbled, “You must be happy. You’ve succeeded in snatching my children’s attention.”

The curve of Frank’s lips widened. It was the first time he saw Kara’s childish side like that. “You think I manage to grab their attention?”

Kara took a deep breath. “Isn’t it clear? They’re not even looking for

me anymore.”

While Frank smiled, Kara continued to express her worries. “And I think you must be proud too. You’ve proven that money is powerful. You can give them nice clothes, expensive toys, everything they want, things I can’t afford. You must be very satisfied.”

In the silence, Frank watched Kara’s face. There was no envy behind the frown, only sadness and disappointment.

“You know what? I learned a lot today. Turns out, being a parent is really hard.”

Kara spontaneously rolled her eyes. She felt that the CEO was making
