Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

S31 113. Afraid of Losing You
As Ava left, Mrs. Connor looked away. She didn’t want to look at Jeremy.
However, Jeremy still faced her. His expression was so firm. His hands were
clenched into fists.
“Ava is your biological daughter, but why do you treat her like someone else’s
daughter? Don't you feel sorry for her?”
Instead of feeling insulted, Mrs. Connor raised her chin. “I'm just being objective.
It doesn't matter if she’s my daughter or not, if she’s wrong, she’s still guilty. She
must be reprimanded and taught a lesson. She must stop embarrassing her
family.”
“But, your accusations against her are not true. She is innocent.”
Mrs. Connor snorted in disgust. “Don’t defend her. That just makes me even
more convinced that you two are in an unhealthy
relationship.”
“I'm not defending her. I'm just telling the truth.”
Suddenly, her finger rose in front of her face. “Don't think that you have paid for
my care, you can do whatever you want. Ava is my daughter. It is my duty to
educate her. You have no right to interfere.”
Jeremy let out a faint sigh. He realized that the woman he was facing was too
stubborn.
“I don’t mind if you hate me, but please don’t be too hard on Ava. She loves you
with all her heart. She deserves much better treatment than this.”
“You dare advise me? You guys are the ones who commit sins, but instead,
accuse other people of being guilty?” Mrs. Connor raised an eyebrow.

“I'm just reminding you. If you keep being like this, you'll have a hard time
bearing the guilt when the truth comes out. Now if you'll excuse me. Sorry for
disturbing your rest.”
Jeremy turned around, hurrying away. He had to follow Ava. That girl definitely
needed a shoulder to lean on. As per Vivian and the twins’ suggestion, he should
be the one to provide it.
Unfortunately, when he managed to find Ava, someone else had already taken
action. The new nurse was holding Ava’s shoulders. His body bent, trying to level
his gaze with Ava.
“What's wrong, Ava? What's bothering you? Is there anything I can help you
with?” Bryan whispered, looking at Ava with pity. Concern was etched into his
eyebrows.
Ava shook her head. Her hand brushed the traces of sadness from
her face.
“I'm okay. Can you please look after my mother now? I have other things to take
care of.”
“Yes, of course, but what about you? Are you okay?”
Ava was stunned. Other men usually used that question. Thinking of him, pain
penetrated her heart deeper.
“I'm fine, Bryan. Thank you for your concern. I have to go now.”
Taking a deep breath, Ava lowered his hand from her shoulder. Then, with bowed
head and hasty steps, she walked towards her room. She didn't realize that
behind her back, Jeremy was watching Bryan with cold eyes.
“What happened to her? What made her cry?” Brian muttered as he looked at
Ava.
“You seem to really care about Miss Connor. Do you know each other?

Bryan flinched at the voice. When he turned around, he met Jeremy's stiff
expression.
“Mr. Harper?” After blinking, his common sense immediately formed an answer.
“Yes, we worked in the same agency, but in different departments. We are
friends.”
Jeremy blinked with both hands stuffed in his pockets. Then, after nodding, he
said and walked away, “Continue with your work.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Without the slightest smile, Jeremy walked after Ava. His chest felt full and heavy.
He didn't like the feeling inside.
When he arrived at her door, he knocked. Initially, Ava opened the door with a
tired face. However, as she realized Jeremy's presence, her eyes widened. His
neck was compressed as if something was strangling her.
“Can I come in?"
Ava blinked and shook her head. “Sorry, I need time to calm dow
Jeremy's eyebrows furrowed. He barged in. Before Ava recovered from her
shock, he had locked the door.
“What are you doing here? Get out before people misunderstand.” Ava’s tone
rose even though the volume was low.
However, Jeremy's feet seemed to be glued there. He stood facing Ava, looking
at her with a variety of emotions that were difficult to separate.
“Are you okay?"
Ava snorted at the question. “I'm fine. Get out of my room quickly.”

Ava tried to open the door. Before she could turn the key, Jeremy grabbed her
hand.
“You're not okay.” He shook his head slightly. His voice was thin and sounded
painful. “Have you always been treated like that?”
Ava swallowed bitterly. Part of her heart was touched by the worry, but another
part was cracked.
Why was Jeremy still paying attention to her? While in fact, reality had just
confirmed that it was impossible for them to be together. Her family was against
it.
“My mother’s attitude towards me...
e towards me... it's none of your business.
Please don’t interfere. Now get out.” Ava urged Jeremy to turn to face the door. “I
want to rest. Please don't disturb me.”
But unexpectedly, he pulled her into his arms. Ava could only gasp with her
mouth wide open.
“J-Jeremy? Are you crazy? You want people's misunderstandings to worsen?”
Ava tried to push, but no distance was created between them. Jerem even
hugged her tighter, like a pair of lovers who were about to separate at the airport.
“Please don’t go. Let me hold you like this... just for a moment.”
Jeremy kissed Ava’s temple. Leaning his cheek on her head, he closed his eyes.
“Just a moment”
Slowly, Ava’'s movements weakened. Jeremy's sincerity had melted her heart.
When she stopped pushing, her hands unconsciously gripped his shirt. Her lips
trembled, following the dictates of logic.
“Why are you doing this? If my mother finds out, she will be even angrier.” Ava’s
nose flared to match the sound of her breathing.

“Because I just realized,” Jeremy rubbed Ava’s head so it rested more firmly
against his chest, “Even though I don’t have you yet, I'm already afraid of losing
you.”
Ava was touched. A warm feeling flew gently to all parts of the body. However,
common sense considered it a threat. Her mother’s opinion of her could worsen if
Jeremy still had hopes of her.

Ava’s tears welled up hearing those sweet words. But still, she shook her head.
She was too afraid to dream too big.
“That's impossible. No matter what, my mother won't change. I've tried to
convince her for years. I always fail.”
“We haven't tried it together yet. I'm sure we can, Ava.” Jeremy hel her hand,
reassuring her with his eyes. Unfortunately, Ava still withdrew her hand.
“Sorry, Jeremy. I don't like dreaming.

Ava turned still, looking at the pair of eyes full of sincerity. Her heart and logic
fought a great battle.
