Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

S21 35. The Real Plan

Frank and Kara glanced at each other, not knowing how to respond. Even the twins were stunned. Only Barbara frowned secretly. She knew that her mother couldn’t possibly change without a reason.

“Grandma cooked for us?” Emily sighed, blinking.

Melanie nodded with a small smile. “Yes. There’s a special chicken salad for you.”

Emily smiled broadly. After turning her head, she saw the same expression on Louis. “It seems Grandma has changed too,” she whispered excitedly.

Louis nodded. A second later, he looked at Melanie. “Thank you, Grandma. We are happy that Grandma wants to cook for us.”

“Yeah, me too. Thank you, Grandma.” Emily put her hands to her cheeks and tilted her head.

Melanie laughed warmly. “You’re welcome. Now, let’s clean up.”

She patted Frank’s shoulder and glanced at Kara. “You too. Get ready”

Kara smiled and nodded awkwardly. “Yes, Mom.”

Frank did it too. Then, while wondering, he and the others went towards the stairs. He didn’t notice that Melanie’s smile turned crooked behind their backs.

“What are you planning, Mom?” Barbara whispered as the others disappeared from the sight. Her face was not friendly at all.

However, Melanie misinterpreted it. Smiling, she took Barbara’s hand. “Come on to your room. I have something to tell you.”

Like it or not, Barbara followed Melanie. When they arrived in the

room, Melanie immediately patted her cheek.

“You are so great, Barbara. I’m so proud of you.”

Barbara furrowed her eyebrows slightly. The words sounded sincere to her. Even so, her suspicions still remained. “Why did you praise me?

Stroking Barbara’s hair, Melanie took a deep breath. “I know, I went too far yesterday. I shouldn’t have slapped you. I failed to control my emotions. Because of that, you want to forgive me, right?”

Barbara’s heart sank a little. Her eyes now flashed with doubt. “Yes,” she said slowly.
