Semua Bab Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father: Bab 351 - Bab 360

"Were you the ones singing at that time?" Mrs. Connor asked in inaudible voice.The twins fell silent. With frozen smiles, they blinked to guess it. "What did she just say?" Louis glanced at his younger sister. Emily shrugged her shoulders vaguely, afraid to offend the woman. "I don't know." Smiling, Ava got up from her chair. "You won't be able to hear my mother from there. Come here." She reached out her hand. The twins' faces lit up again. Happily, they let Ava sit them on her lap. "Were you the ones singing at that time?" The twins' mouths rounded. "Oh, that's it," Louis muttered before nodding. "Yes, we were the ones singing that time. Did you like our singing?" Mrs. Connor whispered, "Very sweet." Emily laughed while covering her mouth. "You don't need to lie to please Louis, Mrs. Connor. It's okay. We realized that our voices were a bit off at the time, especially Louis'." Louis elbowed his sister's arm. His lips were pursed, his brows furrowed. "I told you it's vibr

Jeremy raised his eyebrows. "Even though what Eva said is true—about you like to save money and don't like parties—you don't need to be embarrassed. That's a normal attitude. I used to be like that too." "Then, is it because of the things she brought?" Ava glanced at the shopping bags on the chair. "Are you embarrassed if you accept pre-loved clothes in front of people?" Jeremy shook his head. "When I was at the orphanage, I also often received such clothes. If the model was good, I made it my pride. I even dared to wear it to parties. So, it was a natural thing." Ava folded her arms, leaning against the wall. She was actually curious about Jeremy's background. Why was he raised in an orphanage? However, she couldn't possibly ask that. "Then what would make you embarrassed if you were in my position?" "The fact that you have a stupid younger sister. She doesn't realize that by demeaning you, she is degrading her own family, ruining her own good name." The curve of Ava's lips cha

They approached Ava one by one, giving her congratulations and prayers—starting from the twins, Kara, Vivian. None of them were seen bringing gifts. However, jealousy still raged in Eva's heart. "Happy birthday, Ava. Wish you all the best." Jeremy was the last person to greet Ava. His gesture was stiff, his smile awkward. Still, Ava appreciated it. "Thank you ..., Mr. Jeremy." Her lips curved shyly. After Jeremy stepped back, Eva stepped forward. She hugged her sister, wearing a cheerful expression. "Even though I already said it earlier, I don't think there's any harm in repeating it. Happy birthday, Sister. You are very lucky to know this family. Without them, you definitely wouldn't be celebrating your birthday." Ava blinked with no expression. Her sister’s words no longer had any effect on her. "Thank you, Eva." "You're very welcome." Eva kept her smile until she returned to her seat. "So, what's next? Cut the cake?" The twins shook their heads with pursed lips. "Before tha

"W-what do you mean? Why did you say that?" Ava's voice was hoarse. Her throat felt dry. Suddenly, Eva poked her shoulder. "If you didn't come back, Mom and Dad would only love me. I was their only daughter. I wouldn't be under anyone's shadow." "Do you realize what you said?" Ava's voice grew shakier. Her lips trembled violently. Her eyes turned red to suppress the emotions in her chest. "Yes, I'm well aware. I've been holding this for a long time. Why didn't you just die when you were kidnapped? Why did you come back when I was comfortable with my new family, hmm? Why?" Unexpectedly, a slap landed on Eva's cheek. The girl gasped. She never expected that Ava, who was always submissive, could turn against her. "You've gone too far, Eva. All this time, I've been very patient with you. You think it's not difficult to be me?" Ava's tone also rose even though the volume was still under control. "I have fought tooth and nail to return to my parents. I was only twelve years old when

"Ava, is your sister home yet?" Mrs. Connor asked when Ava fixed her blanket.Ava turned still. After one breath, she managed a smile. "I think you heard everything, Mom. You must know that we’re fighting again." "Even so, can't you still pay attention to her? She's your little sister. Ask her whether she's home yet or not." The curve of Ava's lips felt bitter. "She won't answer my call." "Then, just send her a message. Tell her that I’m worried about her." Ava had no other choice. Again, she had to give in. However, when she found that Eva's number was inactive, her annoyance turned into confusion. Eva never turned off her phone under any circumstances. "How's it going, Ava?" Ava put her phone in the pocket. "She's already home. She knew you asked, so she immediately answered and quickly hung up." Mrs. Connor nodded faintly. "Then I can sleep now." Seeing her mother close her eyes without saying anything else, Ava sighed. "What do I expect? Even until the end of the world, Mo
