Chapter 35
35. In Frank’s Arms
“Good evening, Mrs. Kara Martin? I’m Cathy from the Savior Schrship Organizers. I hope you don’t
mind that I contact you at this time. I’ve been trying to reach you since this afternoon.”
Kara quickly checked the notification panel. There were 12 missed calls.
“I’m truly sorry. I’m a bit busy today,” she answered awkwardly. Her brain started to wonder whether it
was the right time to turn down the schrship or not. She could not let Louis and Emily to be
anywhere near Frank, let alone Rowan Harper.
“Once again, we congratte your children for their schrship. achievement. Now, we look forward to
your cooperation toplete some of the documents.”
Kara didn’t fully pay attention to the documents she had to prepare. She was too busypiling logical
reasons to convey. However, as she was about to interrupt, the caller had already changed the topic.
“For the inaugural event this Saturday, the founder of Savior Group invites the three of you to attend.
We will provide special sessions for Louis and Emily to share their enthusiasm with other children.”
Kara’s eyes widened. Her lips twitched. She could not imagine Rowan’s reaction when he found out
that Louis and Emily were her children. That couldn’t happen.
Unfortunately, as Kara was about to refuse, Frank came in hastily. She had no other choice but to
agree with Cathy and end the call.
“Kara,e here quickly!” Frank ordered while cornering the clothes
in the wardrobe to one side.

Seeing his anxiety, Kara furrowed her eyebrows. “What?”

Suddenly, Frank pulled her to walk faster. “My grandfather ising. He has already entered the main
gate. I don’t want to argue with him. We’d better hide.”
Kara’s heart started beating fast. Her eyes widened too. “Hide where?”
Unexpectedly, Frank pulled her into the wardrobe.
“Is this a secret door?” Kara whispered as she watched the small, dark room. The width was just
enough for them to move a little.
From behind Kara’s body, Frank was busy returning the clothes to their original position. He didn’t have
time to answer. After the clothes were back in order, he switched their position. “Turn around!”
A secondter, a board appeared behind Kara’s back, covering the wardrobe perfectly. A small, dim
light appeared, highlighting their positions facing each other and only a few inches apart.
“We hide here?” Kara asked panicked.
“Shhh…. Turn off your phone.”
Even though her eyes were still wide, Kara carried out the order. She turned off her phone then put it in
the bag hanging on her shoulder. Not long after that, noises starteding from outside.
“Frank Harper!”
It was Rowan’s voice. He sounded very angry.
Kara involuntarily shuddered. Frank spontaneously rubbed her back, trying to calm her down. However,
Kara brushed his hand away.
“Don’t touch me,” the girl whispered with a fierce look.
“Okay,” Frank spoke with mouth gesture.

“You guys,” Rowan’s voice brought Kara back upright, “quickly search this ce! I’m sure my grandson
is hiding somewhere. There must be a secret door in this house.”
Kara looked at Frank with a worried expression. However, the man seemed rxed. She could not help
but tug at his shirt. “Psst…
Frank brought his ear to her lips.
“How long do we have to hide here?”
Frank pressed his cheek against Kara’s temple. “Until my grandfather left. It took them at least 30
minutes to search the entire mansion. Be patient.”
“But it’s too narrow here. What if we run out of oxygen?”
“This was designed for myself. Who would have thought that I could take you here?”
“What if we are caught hiding? Problems can get worse. Why don’t we just face your grandfather?”
Frank looked into her eyes for a moment then shook his head. “My grandfather can’t do much when
he’s at the office, but at my house… he can do everything. There aren’t many eyes or ears to watch.
He wouldn’t just tell Sean to p you.”
Kara swallowed hard. Her expression turned horrified. “He can kill me?
As Frank straightened and nodded, anxious wrinkles were etched on Kara’s forehead.
‘This is bad! What will happen to the twins if I die now? They are still too young.’
Clenching her fists, Kara was determined not to make any sound. Frank just stood silently in front of
her.

Unfortunately, only 25 minutes had passed, Kara’s legs started to stiffen. Her knees asionally bend.
She was able to stand for a long time when she worked as sales promotion girl. However, within such a
narrow space, the pressure doubled.
“Are you tired?” Frank whispered, raising an eyebrow.
Kara puffed out her cheeks. The answer was clearly written on her two furrowed eyebrows.
Feeling pity, Frank grabbed her waist. “Lean on me. You won’t be so tired.”
“Report, Sir. We couldn’t find Young Master anywhere.”
“Search this room! Look for any secret buttons or levers. They must be hiding behind that wardrobe. I
heard something from inside there.”
Kara bit her lip and looked up. Frank was ring at her.
“What should we do?” Kara said silently.
Feeling Kara’s warmth on his body, Frank’s feelings suddenly turned peaceful. His mind was free and
his heartbeat slowed down. When

Suddenly, someone knocked on the divider board. Kara trembled. She subconsciously pressed her
body towards Frank.
Frank couldn’t curve his lips any wider. He seemed to forget that they were still under threat.
“There are no secret levers or buttons, Sir,” a guard said.
Kara immediately let out a sigh of relief. But then, Rowan’s voice was heard again.
“Anyone has drills? Just put a hole in that board.”
Kara was wide eyed. She could imagine how the rotating screw would prate the wardrobe and
threaten her back.
Terrified, she buried herself deeper into Frank’s body. The grip of her hand seemed to be asking for
help and protection.
Frank almostughed at her behavior. He didn’t understand why Kara was so stupid. Even if the drill
managed to prate the wardrobe, it still couldn’t reach them.
However, Frank kept putting his arms around her. It was like the drill had to prate his strong
muscles before reaching her back. On that asion, he sometimes stroked her hair.
