Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

S31 4. Manners

“Mommy, is it okay if we eat with Grandma Diana? What if she’s not happy and throws us out?” Emily whispered with furrowed brows. Her small steps seemed hesitant.

Louis tilted his head forward, looking at his sister who was blocked by Kara’s body. “Don’t be afraid, Emily. Just focus on our mission. We have to be sweet and good kids.”

“I know about that too. It’s just….” Emily glanced back at Kara. Her grip tightened. “I think I can’t stop crying if Grandma ignores me again.”

Kara also pouted. While stroking the back of Emily’s hand, she whispered, “I’m sorry you have to face this difficult situation. But if you make it through, you will get a very good reward.”

“Affection from Grandma Diana?” Emily’s small voice sounded sweet.

Kara nodded. While occasionally sharing her gaze with Louis, she sighed softly, “And maybe… exclusive riding lesson. You know that your great-grandmother was good at riding, right?”

The twins nodded. Their eyes were bright again.

“Yes, Abigail told us about it. I can imagine Grandma riding a horse with a sword like a brave princess.” Emily gave a small jump.

“And I’m the knight! When I’m already good at horse riding, I’ll ask Grandma to a duel,” Louis nodded firmly.

Emily sneered. “You’re no match for Grandma, Louis. You’re still too small. You can’t even ride a horse yourself.”

Hearing his sister giggling, Louis put on a sullen face. “Mommy, Emily insulted me again. In fact, I’m trying my best not to call her short.

Otherwise, she would have cried a river.”

Kara laughed a little. In her heart, she was relieved that the twins could joke around again.

Unfortunately, as soon as they entered the kitchen, the toddlers became tense again. Their freedom had been seized by the old woman sitting at the dining table.

“Hi, Twins,” Abigail greeted cheerfully, “come on, have a seat. I’ve prepared a special place for you.”

The dining table was rectangular. Diana and Jeremy occupied the chairs at each end. Abigail sat in the chair closest to Diana, in the same row as Philip and Barbara. Meanwhile, Frank occupied a long bench, on the side near Jeremy.

“Thank you, Abi. I’ll sit here.” Louis walked stiffly and climbed onto the bench. He deliberately took a position further away from Diana, right next to his father.
