Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

S31 164. Surprise or Trap

“Babe, wait here. Don’t come in until I say it’s safe,” Philip whispered while stroking his wife’s hair.

However, when he was about to approach the door, Barbara held his hand. “Don’t, Phil.”

Barbara shook her head quickly. Her eye bags suddenly became thick. “Don’t go in. What if there’s a trap inside or someone is ready to attack with a weapon? I don’t want you to get hurt.”

Cupping Barbara’s cheek, Philip closed their distance. His eyes radiated seriousness. “You forgot who I am? I’m your brother’s best bodyguard. No one can hurt me. So relax, hmm?”

Barbara still shook her head. “But we promised to always be together.

I don’t want to let you face the enemy alone.”

Barbara gripped Philip’s arm tighter. Worried that the reason wasn’t enough, she added, “Besides, I’m afraid to wait here alone.”

Philips studied her face more closely. After a brief moment of

consideration, he finally let out a faint sigh. “Okay, you can go with me, but stay close.”

“Okay.” Barbara nodded quickly. A second later, she stood behind Philip.

Suddenly, the door opened wider. A girl appeared. Philip spontaneously threw his fist.

“Ah…!”

Philip missed. The girl was ducking to protect her head with both hands.

“Please forgive me! I’m not a bad person!”

Hearing that familiar voice, Barbara’s neck perked up. Her eyes

rounded over Philip’s shoulder. “Nora?”

Barbara quickly came out from behind Philip’s back, helping the girl to her feet. “Jeez, why did you appear suddenly? You surprised us.”

“Sorry, Miss,” Nora muttered with a pale face.

“What are you doing here? You’re lucky I stopped my blow. Otherwise, you would have been knocked out, Philip continued with furrowed eyebrows.

Nora put on a sullen look and looked down. “Sorry, Sir. I got orders from Mrs. Melanie to clean up your apartment secretly.”

“Mom? Why? I have a family now. She should know that I want to be independent,” Barbara shook her head in disapproval.

“Your mother was worried that you were tired of taking care of everything by yourself at once. I was actually going to leave earlier. But I just realized I forgot to put the napkin back in its place. I was afraid you would get suspicious. But it turns out, you arrived early.”
