Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

S3 169. Bad Father

Ava approached Jeremy hesitantly. The man still had his elbows on his knees, bowed while massaging his temples. Occasionally, his

shoulders seemed to rise, pressed by the tightness of his chest. Ava

couldn’t bear to see it.

“Jeremy,” she called softly. When the man glanced out of the corner of his eye, she continued, “Would you like me to accompany you?”

Jeremy shook his head slightly. “I’m fine, Ava. Just need time to think. You just accompany the others at the dinner table. I’ll catch up soon.”

While Jeremy nodded, trying to reassure her, Ava was lost in thought. After a short consideration, she sat on the same bench.

“I won’t be noisy. Just pretend I’m not here. You can continue thinking. Ava lowered her head, not wanting to make Jeremy feel intimidated.

However, Jeremy’s sad gaze was still fixed on Ava. Only after a long sigh did he change his sight-back to the ultrasound image in his

hand.

“Did you know?” Jeremy’s voice broke the silence. Ava glanced without turning her head.

“When I was still living in an orphanage, I often thought. I often wondered. Why did my mother leave me? Where are the other children’s parents? Were they also abandoned like me or are their parents dead?”

Ava didn’t answer. She let Jeremy express his emotions.

“The end of every reflection was always the same. We’re just unlucky because we have bad parents, selfish parents, or irresponsible

parents.”

Jeremy’s voice grew quieter. He wasn’t really looking at Ava now. His eyes seemed to be blocked by an invisible partition in the air.

“Sometimes, I tried to see from another perspective. What if our parents were actually less fortunate? They could have been forced to throw us away. They might have suffered as much as we did.”

Jeremy paused again, adding a sad impression to the dim light of the garden lamps.

“But then, I refuted my thoughts again. No matter how bad their condition was, they shouldn’t abandon their children. How could they
