SWNOVELS Chapter 66
- Visit Kara’s Apartment
Silence hung in the air. Jeremy’s statement did make sense. That could be the main reason why Kara was trying to stay away from him. She did not want Frank to be a disobedient grandson.
“You’re right, Jeremy. There must be a way to change Grandpa’s decision,” he muttered softly. His face showed firm determination.
While the assistant enjoyed coffee, Frank was lost in contemplation. After a few moments, he whispered again.
“Now that I know her identity, can you stop keeping it a secret? Tell me all about her. What kind of life did she live before and after meeting me?”
Jeremy was silent for a moment. He had arrived at the deciding point. After nodding faintly, he finally began to tell about the accusations that Kara had received, her canceled marriage, her dismissal, and the misfortunes that weighed heavily on her shoulders. Not a single piece of information was missed, except for the whereabouts of the twins
By the time Jeremy was finished, Frank’s expression had darkened. What kind of man could oppress the woman he loves?” he muttered with hands clenched tightly. His red eyes looked a bit scary. He now understood why Kara always denied his feelings. He had to heal the wound first if he wanted to get closer.
“What business is his company currently developing?”
Jeremy spontaneously straightened up his back. He didn’t think Frank would go that way. “Hospital equipment, Sir.”
A crooked smile immediately appeared on Frank’s face. “What a coincidence. Order our team to speed up the production. I want to launch Savior’s new breakthrough immediately… to all cities in our
Tib
Jeremy tilted his head subconsciously. “You want Miller’s company to go bankrupt?”
“He has hindered Kara’s work, even tripped her several times. He needs to know what it’s like to not have a roof over her head.”
Jeremy nodded and took out his phone. After carrying out the CEO’s orders, he whispered, “Is there anything else, Sir?”
“From this moment on, you don’t need to keep an eye on Kara anymore. Send me her address now.
Frank got up and took the car key out of his pocket. He turned out to be ready. Jeremy had no choice other than to send him Kara’s apartment address.
“Thank you, Jeremy. You are the best assistant.” After that, he started
running.
Seeing his boss’s determination, Jeremy let out a faint sigh. He immediately sent a warning to Kara.
However, after a while, the message was not read yet. Jeremy the tried calling. Apparently, Kara’s number was not active.
“Should I follow him? It will be very exciting to watch his reaction when he meets his children.”

When he arrived at the location, Frank’s heart grew heavy. It was a small apartments area. The building Kara lived in was the most shabby and dim.
“Is her life that difficult?” he sighed softly.
Frank couldn’t bear it. He glanced around. In the narrow parking lot, there were only three other cars visible. They were all old models, had
“No wonder she refused the car from me. It would be such a contrast if she took it home.”
With a languid movement, Frank turned to the side seat. A box of chocolates was sitting there.
“If I give it to her now, will she be angry? I am the cause of this misfortune.”
Suddenly, Frank was startled by the screams of two children. His breath soon became deeper.
“Whose children are they? Didn’t their parents teach them manners? How could they scream so loudly at this time?”
After grumbling, Frank went back to daydreaming. “How can Kara live peacefully in an environment like this? The walls do not dampen sound at all. No wonder she looks very tired every morning. She doesn’t sleep well.”
While contemplating Kara’s fate, the children’s voices came again. This time, they laughed happily.
“Their father is definitely not a strict or educated person. He s have reprimanded his children after the first scream, instead of allowing them to continue making noise.”
Shaking his head, Frank finally started the car engine. “I have to prepare an apartment for Kara. This environment is not suitable fo
her at all.”
Meanwhile, on the second floor of the small apartment, Louis and Emily were still fighting to see their mother’s new phone. Susan could only shake her head.
Noticing the twins’ noise, Kara finally lifted the phone into the air. Little Angels, if you can’t control yourselves, Mommy will keep it.”
Louis and Emily together covered thell
eyes sparkled and their bodies swayed back and forth in excitement.
“Now, sit on the couch.”
The twins stepped back and climbed onto the old sofa by the window. After they sat neatly, Kara lowered her knees to the floor. She showed the phone in her hand. This time, the twins chuckled in amazement without a sound.
“So, the CEO gave Mommy this luxury phone because he broke Mommy’s phone?” Emily whispered in a sweet little voice.
Kara nodded with a wry smile. She couldn’t possibly tell the truth. It’s too complicated.
“That means the CEO isn’t evil,” Louis whispered, widening his eyes. He was willing to buy a very expensive phone for someone else.”
Kara stroked her son’s chubby cheek with the back of her finger. You’re right, Little Bee. Basically, all humans are good. No matter how evil they change, there must be still a good side in each of them.”
Louis and Emily nodded slightly. Then, with their tiny fingertip, they touch the diamond layer on the side of the phone.
“When I grow up, I also want to have something as luxurious as this,” Emily said, raising her shoulders as high as she could.
“Don’t worry, Emily. When I become a successful businessman, I will buy luxury goods for you, Mommy, and Grandma.”
Kara smiled at that sincerity.
“Your intentions are very noble, Louis. But you need to remember, we don’t have to buy luxury goods. What’s important is their function. As long as the item can meet our needs, that’s okay. Buy things according to your needs and abilities.”
“Mommy, we saw a visitor wearing a fur jacket in the library
yourday. It captive, w
in his excited style.
“That’s right. If I were her, I wouldn’t wear them. It’s summer. I prefer
my clothes to be comfortable,” Emily continued, pinching the bear pajamas on her body.
Feeling proud, Kara kissed the twins’ heads. Susan, who was sewing clothes, smiled as she saw it.
“Kids, look at this…. Grandma has fixed Louis’ clothes.” Susan
spread the tiny t-shirt in her hands.
“Wow, it looks like new!” Louis exclaimed with sparkling eyes. He was worried when he found a hole in his favorite clothes. Now, the grandmother had patched it up with the shape of a car.
“Grandma, I also want my clothes decorated like that. I want a flower shape.”
Kara raised an eyebrow at Emily’s request. The toddler was too innocent to understand that the patch was not a decoration.
“It’s a rather difficult pattern, but Grandma will try it. Which clothes do you want Grandma to make it on?”
Emily immediately ran to get her favorite t-shirt. “This one. Please make me a beautiful red flower, Grandma.”
“Okay, Princess.”
With a big smile, Emily jumped to hug Susan. “Thank you, Grandma.”
Kara got teary eyes. She secretly saluted her children. A phone worth of their apartment was still in her hand, but they were more interested. in patchwork clothes made with scrap fabric and thread.
‘Yes, the twins don’t need abundant wealth from their father. They just need warmth and affection.’
Little by little, Kara’s determination became firmer. Her grip became tighter.
‘Hang on a bit longer, Little Angels. Mommy will soon be away from Daddy. We will live peacefully again like before, even though that means Mommy has to work hard again.”
