Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

“My mom?” Jeremy’s eyes widened.

Frank put on an innocent look. “You’ve slept with the Moore family’s favorite daughter. Is there any reason for them to let you off the hook?

“We’re only going away for a while, Ava. Maybe only two hours.” Emily straightened her index and middle fingers.

“Plus the travel time can be four hours,” Ava smiled crookedly. “Let’s go another time, when my mother is awake.”
