Chapter 8


    8. Same Eyes


    “Do you like the library?” Kara asked, faking a smile. She hoped the


    twins wouldn’t catch on to her sadness.


    “Yes!” Emily stretched her neck. “There are more books there. The reading room is wider and there is


    even a seminar room. The visitors. are also busier. Grandma told Louis for not disturbing them several


    times. But Louis didn’t listen.”


    Hearing that report, Louis’ eyes widened. “I’m not disturbing them. I just want to make friends.”


    “Louis, you know that the library is a ce to read, right?” Kara asked softly. However, the son shrank


    when he heard it.


    “Okay. I won’t bother the visitors anymore. I’ll just sit quietly and


    observe them.”


    “That will be scary!” Emily said while hugging her plush tighter. “If a stranger had done that to me, I would


    have closed the book and found somewhere else to read.”


    Seeing Louis’ sullen face, Kara pinched his cheek.


    “Emily is right. You shouldn’t make library visitors feel ufortable. Grandma could get fired. Instead of


    paying attention to people, how about you look at the books in the science and technology section?


    There are lots of interesting things you can find there.”


    “Including cool cars and flying drones?” Louis’ eyes lit up again. When The received a positive answer


    from his mother, his hands rose to his sister’s shoulders. “Emily, we have to visit that sectionter!”


    “That’s men’s stuff. I’m not interested. I n to visit the fairy tales and children’s stories section today.

    “Then who will read the book to me? Louis said in a disappointed


    tone.


    “You just read it yourself.” Emily shrugged then kissed Kara’s cheek. Mommy, I want to take a shower


    first.”


    Before Kara had time to reply, Louis was already shaking Emily’s arm. “Come on, Emily. Letters are


    boring.


    “Don’t bezy! You won’t read fluently if you keep relying on me.”


    “I’m notzy, but every book bes more interesting if you read it. Besides, there’s no harm in you


    reading a book to me. You also gain knowledge.”


    Seeing how her children argued, Kara’s heart warmed. Emily hadn’t even started kindergarten yet, but


    her attitude was very mature.


    Meanwhile, Louis… the boy was still so childish, but he talked like a great businessman.


    “You must be sessful, my little angels. Prove that you can grow well, even without the presence


    of a father.”


    As soon as the Perverted Demon’s face shed, Kara’s emotion immediately subsided. Without wasting


    any more time, she prepared breakfast, ate with Susan and the twins, then went to work.


    However, until ten o’clock in the morning, Frank Harper had not yet arrived. Intrigued, Kara contacted

    As it turned out, the CEO was scheduled to attend several charity projects. He wouldn’te to the


    office until tomorrow morning!


    “He’s ying me?”


    Closing her eyes, Kara quelled the anger.


    “Calm down, Kara. Look on the bright side! You can go home on time and take the twins out to eat at


    Prince and Princess Resto. Today

    Kara smiled at the thought of peace. Unbeknownst to her, one of the ces her boss will visit was the


    Savior Library-the ce where her children roamed freely.

    From behind a wall, Emily peeked out while hugging a book of fairy tales. Her round eyes looked cute,


    even though she’s anxious.


    “Louis won’t find me in the seminar room, right?” Emily muttered while looking around. She was bored of


    reading books about cars.


    After making sure the situation was safe, the little girl turned around. Unfortunately, she ended up hitting


    someone’s leg.


    “Ouch!”


    Emily bounced andnded on her butt. The book she held was thrown, somewhere. Feeling pain and


    surprise, her tiny lips pursed. Beneath the furrowed brows, tears began to gather.


    “You guys are tired of working with me, hmm? How could a toddler this small escape from supervision?”


    Hearing the scolding, Emily hugged herself. Her head bowed deeper. When her fear could no longer be


    contained, she burst into tears.


    “Hey, I’m not scolding you.”


    The man bent his knees. Carefully, he wiped away the tears that rolled down Emily’s chubby cheeks. At


    first nce, he seemed concerned. But in fact, he was only afraid if there were witnesses who thought


    he was cruel to children. His perfect image could be damaged.


    “I’m sorry…. I didn’t mean to hit you, Emily sobbed in a trembling voice.


    “I know. Please stop crying.”

    The man rubbed Emily’s head. However, instead of subsiding, the little girl’s cries only got louder. Emily


    hated it when someone messed with her hair.


    “Mr. Harper, this little girl is a toddler, not a puppy. You should give her a hug and a light pat on the back


    to calm her down.”


    “Hug?” Frank Harper was wide-eyed. His gaze fell on the snot hanging from the tip of Emily’s nose.


    “What are you waiting for? Give her a hug.


    “But you were the one who bumped into her, Sir. It’s your responsibility.”


    Frank swallowed hard. He didn’t want his limited edition blue suit to be stained with toddler snot. “Are


    there any tissues?” He also didn’t want his silk handkerchief to be stained.


    Jeremy deftly handed him a sheet of tissue. However, instead of taking it, Frank red.


    “You want me to clean it?” he whispered sarcastically.


    Before Jeremy had time to answer, Emily had already pulled out the tissue and wiped her nose. She had


    difficulty breathing if she di


    blow her nose immediately.


    However, after crumpling the tissue, the crying continued. Like it o not, Frank pulled her tiny body into his


    arms.


    “Hey, don’t cry! I’m not angry.”


    Frank patted Emily stiffly on the back. He felt strange. This was the first time he had faced a toddler so


    close.


    “Is there any pain?”


    Emily shook her head. After wiping her eyes with her tiny hands, she stepped away from Frank. Her


    tears had stopped running, but her


    ? ???

    “Does your leg hurt?”


    Emily hugged herself again. Her head bowed in worry. “Mommy is busy working. Because there is no


    one to look after us at home, wele with grandma to work here.”


    We?”


    “Me and my brother.”


    The little voice sounded both scared and adorable. Frank’s heart


    softened at it.


    “Your grandmother is a librarian here?”


    Frank’s tone was gentle, but Emily remained timid. “Please don’t fire


    Grandma! I promise I won’t cause any more trouble. I’ll be n


    careful not to hit anyone again.”


    When Emily nodded, her long eyshes glistened. Frank got hypnotized by her charm.


    “Yes, since I was 2,5 years old. Mommy taught me every night then I practiced alone in the library.”


    Emily nodded cutely. Frank was moved to stroke her hair. However,


    hands.

    “Please don’t mess up my hair again, Sir. I don’t like my hair messy,” she asked with a sullen face.


    Frank was stunned again. While thinking about the little girl’s resemnce to himself, he observed.


    Emily’s clothes weren’t


    expensive, but they were very neat. The girl even kept a handkerchief sticking out of her trouser pocket.


    “What’s your name, Smart Girl?”


    The round-eyed girl hesitated. However, after a quick sigh, she answered, “Emily. Emily Martin.”


    Frank’s heart suddenly jumped. His eyes widened at the face in front of him. He just realized that the girl


    looked like his new secretary, and


    theirst name was the same!


    Could his suspicions be true? Kara was the girl from four years ago and Emily was her daughter?
