Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

S3| 15. Exhausted

“Good girl,” Diana patted Sophie’s cheek before leaving. Barbara’s grin could no longer be covered. Sophia heard it.

“Grandma treats me too much, doesn’t she?”

Barbara raised her eyebrows. She blinked when she saw the guilty look on Sophia’s face.

“You realize that?”

Sophia nodded weakly. “Actually, I’m also uncomfortable. Grandma seems unfair. I feel awkward in front of you.”

While sticking a name tag on the hat, Sophia widened her smile. “So, if there’s anything I need to do, don’t hesitate to tell me, hmm? I’ll definitely help you guys.”

Barbara felt disgusted seeing those fake friendly eyes. She knew exactly what kind of person Sophia was. She had played that role before. However, in order to avoid further conversation, she nodded, forcing a small laugh.

“Was I this bad before?” Barbara thought sadly. “It’s great that Philip wants to accept me.”

Late in the afternoon, Frank and the others returned to the inn. Seeing that the twins were only playing together, he gasped.

“Kids, where is Mommy?”

Louis stopped attacking Yemon with his toy sword. Then, he and Emily shrugged their shoulders.

“We don’t know, Daddy. When we woke up, Mommy wasn’t here. Maybe she went with the others.”

“The others aren’t here too?”

The twins nodded. “Grandma, Auntie, and Sophia aren’t here.”

“Don’t worry. They must be at the orphanage. Maybe they’re busy preparing for a party.” Abigail washed her hands.

“Party?” Louis’ eyes lit up.

“Children usually play with fireworks and blow trumpets to welcome the new year.”

The twins’ mouths rounded in unison. “That will be fun. Can we join in the party later?”

“Of course,” Sophia said, making everyone turn to her. “Only if you guys are still staying here.”

“Sophie! You’re home!”
