Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

S2 62. Melanie’s Dark Secret

Frank tilted his head, trying to catch Melanie’s gaze. When he succeeded, he whispered, “Why? What was your reason for doing that? Isn’t Dad always nice to you?”

Melanie’s lips began to tremble. Her chest felt full of peeling wounds. “Nice you say?”

After snorting, Melanie looked away. Her gaze turned dreamy. “For years, I thought I was the queen. But apparently, he was still secretly sending letters to that woman.”

“He did that out of a sense of responsibility and guilt. Yes, he still remembered his old lover and their son. But, didn’t he choose us in the end? He’s always with us.”

“What’s the use of togetherness without warmth? It instead feels like a torturous bondage.”

Melanie’s voice was getting hoarse. Her sadness thickened. “Did you know that your father never smiled sincerely at me?”

The corners of Melanie’s lips twitched in disgust. “His smile in front of clients was even wider than in front of me. His laughter with the staff was louder than when he was with me. And his memories with Vivian were much more memorable than those with me.

Suddenly, Melanie returned Frank’s gaze. Her eyes sharpened. “Your father left that woman because of love, while he married me because he had to. That was the biggest insult in my life.”

“I know you’re hurt, but is that a good reason to break the rules? Committing attempted murder?”

“I just wanted to teach your father a lesson. Who would have thought

that he would actually die not long after that incident? And it’s not fault. His business opponents took action. I’m not a murderer.”

“But you once tried to kill.”

Melanie suddenly clutched her head. The pressure inside was enormous. “But it’s not my fault. Your father died not because of me. You can’t blame me.”

“Then why did you leave after he died?”

“Because your grandfather didn’t want to see me. He knew about the shrimp powder. He even wanted to kill me, but he couldn’t bear to destroy your feelings. Because of that, he forced me to leave your side.”

Frank shook his head briefly. “No. If Grandpa really hated you, how could your name be in his will?”

Melanie gasped. Her gaping mouth was forced to swallow back the words that almost came out.

“Answer me, Mom. Could it be the gold was the payment? You’re willing to exchange your son for an inheritance that you don’t know when to receive it?” Frank inquired, his breath starting to rumble.
