Chapter 106
“Louis and Emily haven’t called yet?” Frank asked quietly.
Kara turned to the pantry door. Seeing the CEO smile sadly, her eyebrows lowered even more. “Not
yet. Looks like they’re mad at me.”
Frank nodded. As he stepped in, he checked Kara’s lunch. The sd was still intact. “Want to eat with
me? I’ve finished negotiating with
the client.”
Kara shook her head wearily. Seeing thatckluster gesture, Frank’s
heart became even sadder.
“Kara….” He ced his hand on her shoulder. “I’m so sorry I dragged you into this. Kids shouldn’t be
mad at you.”
Kara fell silent. She couldn’t lie if her heart wasn’t healed by those
words.
Frank’s tongue was getting numb. He could not bear the guilt any longer. “Kara, I promise, I will fix this.
I will apologize to your mother and the children, exining that they shouldn’t be angry with y
Kara still didn’t answer. Her head remained bowed with furrow
eyebrows.
Frank pulled a chair and sat next to her. Gently, he lifted her c their eyes met. “I mean it, Kara. I’ll

“Are you okay if the twins hate you?”
Frank’s eyes suddenly dimmed. “About that…. I don’t know eithe They seemed very disappointed in
me. I don’t know how I can get their attention again.”
Frank pursed his lips, silencing the sadness that rebelled to escape.

“You should have listened to my words, Frank. If only you didn’t
desperately defend me, the problem wouldn’t be thisplicated,” Kara sighed softly.
Forcing a smile, Frank blinked softly. “Don’t think so, Kara. Let’s
consider that this problem exists to give me a chance. Once I manage to ovee it, we can finally be
together.”
Kara snorted faintly. “You always say that.”
“We always have to say nice things. That way, the universe will know how much we want it.”
“Then the universe will support you? Kara raised an eyebrow.
Frankughed slightly. “Yes, but your support still means the most to me. Therefore, do you want to
apany me this afternoon to meet your mother?”
Kara’s breathing suddenly turned heavy. “I think my mom is going to
court us.

“I can already imagine that. It seems like facing your mother will be more stressful than facing my
grandfather.”
Kara shrugged briefly. “We will seeter.”
To cover up his nervousness, Frank kissed Kara’s hand. In his heart, he was grateful. At least, there
was one person who was still by his side this time.
As soon as their work was over, Frank and Kara went straight to the apartment. There was absolutely
no smile on their faces. Both of them were too focused on rxing their overly tense nerves.
“You ready?” Kara asked when they arrived at the door.
Frank swallowed hard, taking a deep breath. “I must.”

Not long after the door was knocked, Susan appeared with a dim look. Frank had never seen anyone
so scary.
“Good evening, Mrs. Martin.” With an awkward movement, he showed the package in his hand. “I bring
dinner for you and the kids.”
Kara was just as tense. She even held her breath. Her eyes secretly studied her mother. She had
never seen that expression before.
“Kara,e in. There are serious things that we both have to discuss,
Susan said firmly. Her eyes were still pointed at Frank.
Not getting a response from Kara, Susan nced at her. “Come in.” Her tone dropped drastically.
Kara’s lips trembled, but her feet were still. It wasn’t that she was
reluctant to go in, but she couldn’t bear to let Frank go home without sess. “Mom, Young Master
Harper came here to talk about something.”
Frank hurriedly nodded. “That’s right, Madam. Please let me speak.”
Susan’s expression did not change at all. With pursed lips, she studied the two people in front of her.
“You really want toe in?” She pulled the door a little wider quirked an eyebrow.
Frank’s breathing grew heavier, but he could still nod. “Yes, Mada
“Okay. Kara, wait outside.”
Frank and Kara widened their eyes. They stared at each other, as i they didn’t want to be separated.
However, Susan’s hand moved, inviting the CEO to pass the door. Like it or not, Frank stepped in.

Frank was still standing. He dare not move. Breathing alone felt wrong. “I… would like to exin about
the incident four years ago.”
Susan lifted her chin. “Exin what? Isn’t it obvious that you….”
Susan couldn’t finish the sentence. After a long, soft sigh, she
whispered, “You think your exnation is enough to atone for your sins? Do you realize what your
mistake was?”
Frank looked down. He no longer dared to look at the teary eyes. “I left Kara that night.”
Suddenly, Susan moved and grabbed him by the cor. If only the room was soundproof, she would
have vented all her frustration.
Susan jerked Frank as hard as she could. The man could only surrender, closed his eyes while holding
back the regret that was welling up in his chest.
“Then where were you when she was fighting to stay alive? Do you know how hard it is to bear shame?
Everyone looked down on her,
even her future husband. The whole world ridiculed and ostracized
her.”
Susan’s tears could no longer be contained. However, instead of
wiping it away, she tightened her grip as if Frank’s life was in her hands.
“You know what’s worse? When she was pregnant, she had to bear the burden of three lives in one
body. She was already so fragile, but

Frank’s breath came out faintly. He tried to speak, but his throat was too narrow and dry. Swallowing
was like eating needles.
“And for years, she fought tooth and nail, to support your children. She didn’t even have time for
herself. Now that the children are all

Without waiting for Frank’s answer, Susan shook her head. “No! Don’t expect to touch those children.”
