Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

S31 13. Getting Close

An hour passed, the twins looked much happier. Emily had forgotten her worries, and Louis was increasingly impatient about riding.

“Daddy, Daddy!”

The twins ran over to Frank who was standing at the stable entrance. When Frank lowered his body, the two toddlers immediately jumped to embrace him.

“Daddy, Sophia is so cool! She rides like a brave knight.”

While laughing warmly, Frank patted his children’s tiny backs. “Is it true?”

“Yes!” Louis let go of his embrace, bringing his twinkling eyes to his father’s. “She could even make that horse jump over a hay bale!”

“Daddy should have watched earlier. Uncle Jeremy also admitted that Sophia was great.”

Frank glanced at the man who had just arrived by their side. His smile< was mischievous. “Are you fascinated by Sophia?”

Jeremy shrugged lightly. “Just trying to please the twins. They keep forcing me to admit that Sophia is cool.”

“Sophia is cool, Uncle.”

“She’s beautiful and good at riding. She’s like a royal princess going to war!” Emily pursed her lips.

Hearing the praise, Sophia laughed lightly. “You can’t force your

opinion on other people, Kids. If your uncle doesn’t want to admit I’m cool, just let him. Maybe his standards are really high.”

Louis immediately frowned. “Uncle is no fun.”

“Yes, Uncle needs to change his standards. Is it so hard to admit that Sophia is great?” Emily crossed her arms.

Once again, Sophia laughed. “Don’t worry about it, Kids. The important thing is we had fun. You’re happy, right?”

“Very happy. This is the best holiday I’ve ever had. Thank you, Sophia.” Louis hugged her.

“Yes, you made this holiday feel more special. Thank you, Sophia.” Emily hugged her too, not caring about the horse looming near them.

Sophia chuckled lightly. “I’m the one who should be thanking you guys. You warm my heart. Now, would you like to help me return this horse to its stall? After that, let’s clean up and get ready for lunch.”

“Yes!” the twins nodded in unison. A second later, they waved at Frank. “See you later, Daddy. We want to escort Sophia.”
