Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

S31 95. Shame
“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 vibrato.”
“Okay, okay. But I hope you don't use it again. Sing according to what we have
practiced.”
A second later, Emily shifted her gaze. Her expression turned sweet.” We have
prepared a new song for you, Mrs. Connor.”

“What song is it?"
“It's still a secret! We'll sing it after dinner. Are you willing to wait, Mrs. Connor?”
Emily tilted her head.
The woman nodded again. “I will wait.”
“Thank you. We're sure you won't be disappointed. We've practiced hard.”
Suddenly, Louis leaned forward. His hand tried to reach the woman's finger.
“How are you, Madam? Have you completely recovered?”
“My mother is showing rapid progress, but she still has to go through the
recovery process. There are several therapy procedures that she has to follow.”
“Does it hurt?” Emily frowned.
Ava shook her head. “No, but my mother has to overcome the stiffness in her
body and also her laziness.”
“I'm sure she can. She's your mother. So, she must have great
enthusiasm too.”
While Louis spread his arms to express Ava’s enthusiasm, someone whispered
from the door. “Excuse me, are we interrupting?”
Everyone looked over.
“Mommy!” Emily shuffled her feet. Her hands waved sweetly. “Come on, Mommy,
come in. Let's chat with Ava’s mother.”
Behind Kara, Frank followed in. “Good evening, Mrs. Connor. How are
you?”
The woman nodded slightly. “Good.”
Since waking up, she had seen many unfamiliar faces. She got used to it and
didn’t care who they were anymore. However, Ava still
introduced people who visit.
In the middle of the conversation, Jeremy suddenly knocked on the door. “Ava,
you guys have a visitor.”
Hearing that, Mrs. Connor immediately straightened her back.
Everyone, even Ava, was shocked, not expecting her to be able to do
that.
“Is it Eva?”
Jeremy didn't hear her voice clearly. However, he could guess what the woman
was asking.
“She said her name was Eva.”
A sigh escaped Mrs. Connor’s mouth. Without caring about the IV that was still
attached to her hand, she tried to get down.
Ava quickly put the twins down and held her. “Wait, Mom. You can’t go anywhere.
Sit here. Let Eva come to you.”
Mrs. Connor clenched one hand in front of her chest. Her eyes filled with tears.
“Quickly ask her in.”
“But before that,” Jeremy interjected, “Il need Ava’s help to confirm her identity.
No offense, but I don’t want any intruders in my house.”
Ava nodded. “Yes, I understand.”
While waiting, Mrs. Connor couldn't stop smiling. “Eva is my favorite daughter.
You will definitely be happy to meet her.”
Frank and Kara blinked when they heard it. Even the twins looked surprised.
“What about Ava? Don't you love her as much as you love Eva?” Louis sounded
displeased.
Mrs. Connor shook her head weakly. “She is different. She is always
loyal to accompany me and never leaves me. She am very proud of her.”

Frank and his family looked at each other in confusion. Wasn't Ava the one who
had been taking care of her? Why did Mrs. Connor praise a name they had only
just heard of?
After a few moments of awkward waiting, Jeremy and Ava finally returned.
Behind them, a girl entered with a bright smile.
“Mom!” Eva put several shopping bags on the sofa then rushed over to her
mother. The twins quickly stepped aside, afraid of being hit.
“Mom, you finally woke up.” She pressed her cheek to her mother’s face. Mrs.
Connor laughed out loud as she rubbed her back.
“Eva, you've finally come. I miss you so much.”
Eva put on a pitiful look. “What do you feel that way, Mom? We see each other
almost every day. Didn't Ava tell you? I've only been a bit busy lately.”
Mrs. Connor stroked her youngest daughter's cheek. “Sorry for
bothering you. You are busy taking care of your boutique, but you still have to
come to visit me.”
Eva shook her head cutely. “Don’t say that, Mom. You are number one to me. I
will definitely make time for you.”
While the two people hugged, the others secretly glanced at Ava. They felt sorry
for her.
“Mommy, why is Mrs. Connor acting like that? Poor Ava,” Emily whispered,
looking up to Kara.
“We're lucky to have a fair Mommy, Emily. If Mommy loved one of us more, the
other would definitely feel sad.”
Ava realized that she was being a topic. Feeling uncomfortable, she
lowered her head. “Because Eva is here, I'm off duty. I have to check on Mrs.
Melanie.”
Eva quickly turned her head. “Before you go, I have something for you.”
She reached for the shopping bag on the sofa. After checking the contents, she
handed two bags to Aya.
