S21 1. Annoying Guests
“Done!”
Louis walked over to Philip and then gave him his hands. The assistant swiftly took off his tiny boxing gloves.
“Thank you, Philip.”
“You’re welcome, Young Master.” Philip handed him a drinking bottle. Louis greeted him with a big smile.
“Philip, do you think Mommy and Daddy will come home with our baby brother?”
Philip stared wide eyed. His mouth was agape, confused about choosing words.
“Of course not, Louis,” Emily said as she caught her little pink punching bag so it stopped swinging. “The mother cat alone was pregnant for 65 days. Moreover, humans. It will take at least 40 weeks for Mommy to give birth to our baby sister.”
Louis’ lips pursed. His brows furrowed as his cheeks puffed out.” You’re right. No matter how fast Daddy put the baby in Mommy’s stomach, he’s still in there today.”
While taking off Emily’s boxing gloves, Philip bit his lips. His heart was tickled by the toddler’s statements. “So, you guys want a little brother or a little sister?”
“I want a little sister, but Louis wants a little brother. We are still arguing,” Emily answered with pursed lips.
“Well then, I hope your younger siblings are also twins like you. Boy and girl.”

Louis and Emily’s eyes suddenly lit up, as if they had just found light.
“Why didn’t we think of it before?”
“If our little siblings were twins, there would be so much fun!”
Suddenly, Emily hugged Philip’s leg. Her cheeks blushed as they pressed the corners of her lips up. “Thank you, Philip. You gave us such a brilliant idea!”
Louis hugged his other leg. “Yeah! You are indeed the best assistant
in the world!”
Chuckling, Philip patted the twins on the shoulder. His heart warmed.” It’s an honor to serve your family. Now, how about we go to the greenhouse? Mrs. Martin is choosing flowers to welcome your parents. You can help her.”
“That’s another great idea, Philip. Mommy and Daddy will definitely be happy if we welcome them with beautiful flowers.” Emily cupped her own cheeks with both hands. Her head tilted slightly to the right.
At the same time, Louis hung a pink towel on her shoulder. “Don’t pretend to be cute, Emily. Let’s hurry to help Grandma!”
Emily’s eyes narrowed. “I’m not pretending. It’s true that I’m cute. Is that right, Philip?”
The assistant chuckled again. “That’s right, Young Lady.”
While wiping his sweat with a blue towel, Louis let out a long sigh. Okay, whatever.” His tiny feet started to move. However, just a few steps later, his attention was distracted by the assistant’s phone ringing.
“Yes?” Philip put the cell phone to his ear. After a few moments, his eyebrows knitted together. “Mrs. Harper?”
Louis and Emily exchanged glances. They both knew something was

wony, when imp nung up the phone, they done mu
wrong with Mommy?”
Philip shook his head faintly. “This is not about your mother.
Someone claims to be Mrs. Harper. She’s waiting in front of the gate, urging the security guard to let her in.”
The twins widened their eyes..
“Is she crazy? Mrs. Harper is just Mommy. How dare she claim to be Daddy’s wife?” Louis put his hands on his hips.
A small hiss escaped Philip’s lips. “Sorry, Young Master. You misunderstood. This person claims that she is your father’s mother.”
Emily’s eyebrows pressed against her forehead. “Our grandmother?”
Philip shrugged briefly. “I have to check it out. Would you mind going to the greenhouse alone?”
“We have to see her too, Philip. This concerns the safety of our home and family.”
“Yes! We have to see who dares to claim to be our grandmother.” Louis squeezed his own fist.
Philip nodded. Together, they headed to the guard post.
From the CCTV monitor, they could see a middle-aged woman who looked like a European noblewoman. Beside her, a girl stood with blonde hair with pink shades at the ends.
Philip pressed the microphone button. “Good morning, Ma’am. I’m Philip, head of service and security at this house. Can I help you?”
The woman turned back to face the camera and raised her chin. The look in her eyes seemed cold and arrogant.
“I’m Melanie, Frank Harper’s mother. If you don’t want my son to fire you, open this gate right now. My legs are getting numb from facing

Philip raised an eyebrow. He couldn’t believe what he had just hear
When he turned to the side, the twins’ expressions added to the
amusement in his chest. That woman’s arrogance was too
astonishing, even beating Isabela.
“Sorry, Ma’am. Mister Harper never talked about his mother. Since we don’t know anything about you, we can’t let you in, unless we have his approval.”
Melanie snorted slightly. Her cheeks twitched. “You guys won’t let me into my own son’s house?”
“We can only open the gate if Master gives the order, Ma’am.”
“Then call him now! You will regret it when he calls me Mommy.”
The woman’s eyes grew bigger. Louis thought her eyeballs were going to pop out.
“I don’t think she’s our grandmother She is too rude and fierce. She’s more suited to being a witch.”
Emily quickly elbowed her brother’s arm. “Louis, don’t say like that. We don’t know the truth yet. She could be our grandmother. We didn’t even think that Frank Harper was our Daddy once.”
A second later, the little girl turned to their assistant. “Philip, how about we just call Daddy? Let’s ask if that woman is really her mother -our grandmother.”
Philip nodded. However, just as he was about to press the mic button again, a limousine arrived.
“Mommy and Daddy are home!” Emily’s eyes sparkled brightly.
“Sir, should we open the gate?” A guard asked Philip.
The young man furrowed his brows. “Let me go out and solve the

As soon as the side door was opened, those toddlers rushed out. Their laughter was so loud. Their arms were outstretched, ready embrace whoever got out of the limo first.
“Mommy! Daddy!”
Hearing that sweet voice, Kara checked out the window. She startled. “Why are they welcoming us here?”
“Maybe they miss us too much,” Frank said as he hurried to get out.”
Kids!”
Louis and Emily jumped into their father’s arms. Their laughter grew louder as Frank carried them both.
“Daddy, how was your honeymoon? Was it going smoothly?”
“Has Daddy implanted our baby sister in Mommy’s stomach?”
Chuckling, Frank kissed the twins’ cheek. His heart was tickled by their questions. However, just as he was about to answer, his eyes accidentally caught Melanie’s presence. In an instant, his smile disappeared.
The twins’ cheerfulness no longer affected him. Witnessing it, Kara, who had just gotten out of the limousine, immediately touched his shoulder. “What’s wrong, Frank?”
Louis and Emily stopped laughing. They checked their father’s face then followed his gaze. The noble-style woman had just stopped two steps away from them.
“Hello, Frank.” Her expression was very different from before. Her eyebrows lowered and her eyes filled with tears.
Frank swallowed hard. His lips trembled to gather his voice. “Mom?”
