Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

S31 97. Little Spies

Jeremy raised his eyebrows. “Even though what Eva said is true- about you like to save money and don’t like parties-you don’t need to be embarrassed. That’s a normal attitude. I used to be like that too.”

“Then, is it because of the things she brought?” Ava glanced at the shopping bags on the chair. “Are you embarrassed if you accept pre- loved clothes in front of people?”

Jeremy shook his head. “When I was at the orphanage, I also often received such clothes. If the model was good, I made it my pride. I even dared to wear it to parties. So, it was a natural thing.”

Ava folded her arms, leaning against the wall. She was actually curious about Jeremy’s background. Why was he raised in an orphanage? However, she couldn’t possibly ask that.

“Then what would make you embarrassed if you were in my position?”

“The fact that you have a stupid younger sister. She doesn’t realize that by demeaning you, she is degrading her own family, ruining her own good name.”

The curve of Ava’s lips changed meaning. She didn’t expect Jeremy to have such deep thoughts.

“Do you pity me?”

Before Jeremy could answer, she straightened her back from the

wall. “Don’t. I’m used to being treated like that. So, it doesn’t have big impact on my feelings.”

“What makes you so patient with such a little sister?”

“You can’t stand to face your brother?”

Jeremy laughed faintly. “In the past, yes. In the early days. But our case was different. At that time, Frank didn’t know that he was my brother.”

Ava’s eyebrows rose slightly. But again, she chose not to ask.

“So how?” Jeremy was still curious. “What’s your secret?”

Ava tilted her head slightly. “Sorry. I don’t think we’re that close yet. I don’t like sharing my personal secrets with anyone.”

“Including friends?”

“Why are you curious about my background?” Ava squinted.

“Because I have to prepare an answer for the twins later. It’s impossible for them not to ask me for information.”
