Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father

19. Savior Scholarship Program

“Wow, Mommy is home!”

Kara gasped. She quickly wiped her tears and turned towards the door. “Hello, Little Bee. Mommy didn’t know you’re home.”

With joyful laughter, Louis and Emily hugged their mother.

“What did Mommy think? Mommy should’ve heard us coming home.”

“If it’s a criminal who came in, what will happen? Mommy could be in danger!”

Kára cupped her children’s cheek. Her head shook slightly. “Aren’t we good people? Remember, good people are always protected by….

“God!” the twins answered in unison. Their eyes sparkled brightly.

“But there’s no harm in being careful, Mommy. Next time, you don’t daydream again, okay?” Emily stroked her mother’s hair.

Getting that much attention, Kara’s smile broke into laughter. She nodded and kissed her daughter’s chubby cheek.

“Emily, I don’t think Mommy was daydreaming. Mommy was suffering from pain!” Louis pointed at the compress on the floor. “Do you have a fever, Mommy?”

Looking at Louis’ furrowed brows, Kara immediately shook her head. ” No, Little Bee. Mommy just got a sprained ankle.”

The twins’ eyes widened together. A second later, the two cute

toddlers flapped their arms and ran around Kara.

“Buzz buzz buzz …. It’s time for the worker bees to serve their queen.

“Buzz buzz buzz ….

We have to let our queen rest and bring her

While the twins pulled her towards the bed, Kara laughed in

amusement. “What are you doing?”

“We imitate honey bees, Mommy. We learned about them in a book.

earlier.”

“Mommy, don’t worry. We will immediately bring nectar for you. The queen bee just needs to rest in the hive. Buzz buzz buzz ….”

The twins flapped their “wings” again. They ran around before leaving the room. Susan shook her head at their behavior. She just arrived at the door.

“So, what brings you home early, Kara? And how did you sprain your

ankle?”

Kara’s smile disappeared in an instant. She understood the meaning of her mother’s gaze. Her sadness was obvious. She couldn’t. possibly hide the whole truth.

“Sorry, Mom. I… got fired again.”

“Is it because of Finnic?”

Kara shook her head swiftly. “No. This time, I was fired because of my own fault.”

Kara looked down and smiled sadly. “I wasn’t careful enough.”

Susan came closer and squeezed her daughter’s shoulder. “It’s okay. You can find a job again.”

“I hope so, Mom. The twins will soon come to school. The registration fee is quite high. I can’t afford it if I’m unemployed.”

Hearing their mother’s worries, Louis and Emily did not go through the door. The two of them leaned against the wall, looking down. listlessly. They lost their enthusiasm to deliver a packet of bread and

“Did you hear that, Emily? Mommy is worried about money to pay for our school fees.”

Emily nodded faintly. Her round eyes blinked as she took in the

situation. “I think we must help Mommy.”

“You want to make money? How?” Louis whispered with high arched eyebrows.

“It is not like that.” Without any noise, Emily pulled her brother into the bedroom. There, she opened her bag. “I found it this morning.

Because the picture was beautiful, I took it home.”

Louis frowned at the brochure in his hand. There was a picture of a playground filled with cute illustrations. Below it, there were several lines of words.

“Sa-vior Scholar-ship Pro-gram?” Louis had difficulty in spelling.

“Let’s join this program. I can show off my reading skills, while you can tell everyone about the car you like. The selection will be held tomorrow, in the library seminar room. I heard, the CEO who is holding this event will also come.”

Louis pondered for a moment. Puffing out his cheeks, he finally nodded. “Okay, let’s be good worker bees!”

“Okay …!” Emily nodded with the same twinkle in her eyes.

The next day, Kara pretended to go to the office. She was unaware that the twins already knew about her predicament. So, while Kara was busy looking for work, Louis and Emily were secretly preparing for the selection.

When Susan was busy arranging the books, the toddlers started moving towards the seminar room. Each of them brought a book. Emily with the Cinderella story, while Louis with the automotive book.

“Hello, Kids. What do you need here? Are you lost?”

While holding Emily’s hand, Louis shook his head firmly. “No. We are here to take part in scholarship selection.” Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

The women looked at each other. After one blink, they covered their laughter with one hand. The toddler with sunglasses was not only cute, but also good at talking.

“Sorry, Kid. You are not old enough. This scholarship is intended for elementary, middle, and high school students.”

“But it says here that this scholarship is for outstanding children.” Louis pointed to the standing banner next to the door. “We excelled. People always praised us as genius kids.”

Emily nodded in support of her twin. “Yeah, we are outstanding children.”

“Too bad, the terms can’t be changed. How about you come back in three or four years?”

“But we need the scholarship now,” Emily sighed in her sweet Her eyebrows expressed deep concern.

“Why don’t you let us take part in the selection? We can prove that we are not inferior to elder children.”

Hearing that bold challenge, the women raised their eyebrows again. They were excited but still, they had to refuse Louis’ request.

“Sorry, Kid. We can’t go against orders. Only children who have fulfilled the requirements and completed the documents are allowed to join the program.”

Louis glanced at Emily. “Documents? You didn’t mention that.”

Feeling scared, Emily’s eyes filled with tears. Her hand was starting to

1. Mommy keeps it on top of the wardrobe. It’s very high.”

While his younger sister pouted, Louis puffed out his cheeks. He had to find a way to prevent their mission from failing. A moment later, he looked up again.

“I’m sure you will be amazed by our genius. The documents can

follow. The important thing is, let us take part in the selection first.”

“Yes, please allow us. We won’t let you down,” Emily pleaded with tears welling in her eyes.

“Is there any problem?” A man interrupted.

Louis and Emily turned around. In the next second, they were stunned -to see an old man who looked cool in his brown suit.

“Sorry, Mister Harper. These kids insist on taking part in the selection, but they’re not old enough.”

“But we’re smarter than the other kids. We’re geniuses, Sir.”

Rowan Harper stared wide-eyed at Louis. The child might be around four years old, but his courage was already that of an adult.

“Really? What do you prepare for the selection?”

“I will tell you about future car designs, while my sister will tell a fairy tale.”

Rowan Harper smiled faintly. The impression was somewhat

dismissive and a bit sarcastic.
