Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father

S31 190. Brave Kid

Seeing a huge rattlesnake shaking its tail, Louis gasped. He quickly threw his bag in front of Emily’s feet, making it a barrier in case the

snake attacked.

“Come on, Emily! Get up quickly!” Louis grabbed her’s arm.

With tears streaming down her cheeks, Emily tried to gather strength in her legs. Just when she managed to get up, Frank picked her up and hugged her tightly.

“Are you okay, Princess? The snake didn’t bite you, right?” He patted the trembling little back.

Wiping her face with the back of her hand, Emily shook her head. “No, but I was very scared. The snake looked angry at me. In fact, I was just looking for the sound.”

Frank breathed a sigh of relief. “The snake was angry because it felt threatened. Next time, if there’s a sound like that, don’t come any closer, hmm?”

After getting a nod from the princess, Frank turned to Lo been pulled back by Jeremy.

“Are you okay too, Buddy?”

Louis nodded with a serious expression. “Yes, I was very sur when Emily screamed earlier. I thought she had been attacked luckily, the snake was still there. I quickly lowered my bag so it wouldn’t come close.”

As Louis’ tension faded, a small smile spread on his face. “Thank you, Daddy. I just did what I was supposed to do.”

Frank nodded. In his heart, he felt guilty for letting the twins go first.

“Do you still want to continue the journey or do you want us to just go

home?”

Louis didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he looked up and saw the

girl who was hugging Frank’s neck tightly.

“It’s up to me, Emily,” he said wearily

Emily peeked over Frank’s neck. Her shoulders rose and fell, trying to

“I want to see the Mobius Arch and other beautiful rocks, but I don’t want to see snakes anymore,” she said while pouting.

“Do you want Daddy to carry you all the time?” Frank stroked Emily’s chubby cheek, wiping away any traces of tears from it.

Emily nodded. Her hand was reluctant to let go of his shoulder.

“Well then, let’s continue our journey Buddy, do you want to wa alone or should Daddy carry you too?”

“If you want, I can carry you,” Jeremy offered.

Louis frowned. “I can walk alone. I’m a man. I have to be brave a independent.” He nodded firmly while raising his fist.

Jeremy laughed faintly. “Then do you dare take your bag?”

Louis’ eyes immediately widened. His guts collapsed along with a hesitant sigh. However, before he had time to consider the risks, Frank hit Jeremy on the arm.

“Don’t test my son with such a danger. Hurry up and get his bag!”

Louis looked at Frank with teary eyes. When Jeremy took his bag, he whispered, “Thank you, Daddy. You have saved my pride as a man. Later, when I am big and as strong as you, I will definitely be brave enough to face that snake.”

“You’re welcome, Buddy.” He raised a fist. Louis silently greeted him with his tiny fist.

“But remember, no matter how much gut you have, you have to be careful. For now, don’t go too far from Daddy, okay?”

Louis nodded. “Okay, Daddy.”

After Louis slung his backpack, they started walking again. Emily shuddered as she watched the snake slither away, heading for

another rock.

“Emily, are you still afraid?” Louis asked when she was no longer

crying.

Emily blinked innocently. “I’m not afraid because Daddy is carrying me. Be careful, Louis. Pay attention to your left and right. If there is a sound like earlier, get away quickly.”

Instead of moving closer to Frank or Jeremy, Louis took a few s forward. Emily had to turn her head to see her twin again.

“You don’t need to be afraid, Emily. The snake won’t attack if it’s n disturbed. Actually, it was afraid of you. Especially when you screamed, its tail trembled faster. You’re scarier than that snake.”

Frank laughed lightly. “Rattlesnakes are poisonous snakes, Louis. Even though he’s not aggressive, we’d better stay away from them. That’s why we have to be careful when stepping on bushes or sitting on rocks. They could be hiding there

“But there are no bushes in the middle of this road, Daddy. If we follow the path correctly, we won’t meet any more snakes. Unless, we

stop and rest on rocks like that. Look! A lizard has just run away. There must be a big snake down there.”

Emily subconsciously hugged Frank’s neck tighter. Her cheek rested on his shoulder again. “Daddy, are there snakes in Mobius Arch?”

“May be yes. But you have Daddy and Uncle Jeremy with you. You don’t need to be afraid.”

“And so do I!” Louis poked his own chest with his thumb. “If a snake attacks, I will throw my bag again.”

A second later, Louis demonstrated how “fierce” he would be if he met a snake. He groaned, making a scary face. Emily was finally able to laugh again.

“Kids, before we go to Mobius Arch, there is one rock that I want you to see. I think you will like it.”

Louis raised his eyebrows. “Really? Which stone?”

He turned around, expanding his observations. When he saw a rock that looked like an elephant sitting with its trunk look like gone into the ground, he was astonished.

“Emily, look at that! It’s like a huge elephant cursed into stone.”

While Louis was busy opening his bag to get the phone, Emily blin in amazement. “Is it really a cursed elephant, Daddy?”

Frank laughed amusedly. “No, Princess. It’s a naturally formed stone Do you want to hold it?”

Emily nodded.

“How about you go there on foot? Daddy will hold your hand.” Frank raised an eyebrow.

Emily’s legs instantly bent. Her head turned around looking at the bushes.

“Come on, Emily. Don’t be a coward. Aren’t you embarrassed about losing to me?” Louis said, half teasing.

Emily’s furrowed brows changed meaning. After a brief

contemplation, she finally dared to set foot again.

“Oh, look at this, Louis. Emily is a brave kid. She wants to walk alone

again. You are so great, Princess.” Frank stroked her shoulder.

Louis gave her thumbs up. “Yeah, my little sister is great.”

Emily smiled shyly. “Thank you, Daddy, Louis.”

“Thank yourself, Princess. You managed to summon your courage. again.”

Watching how Frank helped Emily regain her courage, Jeremy was pensive. His heart pounded at the thought of the moment he would practice it. He also wanted to be a father his child admired.

“Uncle Jeremy, why are you daydreaming? Come on, hurry up! Don’t let any snakes get to you because they think you’re a stone. We still have to go to Mobius Arch after this!”

Jeremy laughed faintly. Seeing Louis’ enthusiasm, he became curious. How special was Mobius Arch?
