Forty minutes later, the SUV arrived at the Roberts’ Villa.

Frank got out of the car first and helped open the door of the backseat. Then, he took out the suitcase and carried it into the living room with one hand.

Hearing the commotion, Grace came out from inside. Behind her were two children with short legs. One of them grabbed Grace's leg, and the other stood further from her. Then, both of them hugged Grace's leg. The two kids were unfamiliar with Alex, so they timidly hid behind Grace.

However, they curiously stuck their heads out to see who it was. They looked very cute.

Frank strode into the villa and reached out to ruffle his daughter's hair. His eyes were filled with love as he took the luggage to the guest room upstairs. After he went downstairs, he told Ava which room the luggage was in.

Then, he squatted down and hugged his daughter with one hand and his son with the other. He treated all his children equally and both of them loved Frank very much. Usually, when Frank was free, he would sit in the children's play area and play games with the two children. He would give them rides, spin them around, and build blocks with them...

Over time, the two children became quite clingy to Frank, especially Nona. She always liked to tiptoe to kiss her father's cheek.

Frank's fatigue from working the entire day could always be dispelled by Nona's kiss.

Usually, Ava and Grace spent more time with their children. Grace had completely retired and was helping to take care of the two babies at home.

"Alex, did you quarrel with your parents? Is that why you're here?" Hearing this, Alex smiled bitterly and revealed her true emotions. "You can tell?"
