S21 2. Melanie Harper

Everyone was stunned, even the twins. Their eyeballs shook, looking for an explanation.

“Mommy? Is that witch really our grandmother?” Louis whispered.

Emily quickly hushed. Her index finger was extended in front of her pursed lips. “Watch your mouth, Louis.”

Meanwhile, Kara let out a faint sigh. Without waiting for orders, she took the twins from Frank’s arms. “Come here, Little Bees.”

Frank handed over the two toddlers with a blank gaze. His face was a little pale. When he straightened up again, Melanie immediately hugged him.

“Sorry, I only saw you now. I didn’t know that your grandfather had died. I shouldn’t let you face everything alone. That must be really hard for you.”

Frank’s breath hitched. His chest felt tight instead of warm. Gritting his teeth, he lowered his mother’s hands from him.

“I am not alone. I am with my family-the people who’re always by my side, the people who never left me. What do you want, Mom? Why do you come here after all this time?”

Melanie put some wrinkles on her face. Her tears thickened. “Are you still angry because I left you?”

After a long breath, Melanie looked down and slowly shook her head.” I thought you’d understand when you got older. Apparently not?” She lifted her gaze slightly.

Taking a deep breath, Frank looked the other way. He didn’t want to be taken in by his mother’s drama.

“Kara, bring the kids in. I’ll follow soon.”

“At that time,” Melanie interrupted, absorbing all of their attention, “I didn’t have any other choice. Your father died, my status was questioned, and my family’s company fell down. Was there a reason to stay when your grandfather no longer liked me? He thought I wasn’t worthy to be by your side. He called me a burden and a bringer of bad luck to your father.”

The ice was only broken when Frank snorted sarcastically. “You left me just because of that? Because of the cold treatment and insults from Grandpa?”
