Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

S31 183. Grateful for What We Have

“Shania!” Poppy's voice suddenly broke Shania’s thoughts. When she turned around, her best friend was holding

out her clothes. “Wear this first. | think Philip is right. Soon, there could be visitors coming to watch the midnight

sun. Don't let them see you like this.”

Shania’s eyes filled with tears, looking straight at her best friend's face. Her lips were pressed tightly, waiting for

words from her brain which was still busy digesting the situation.

“I don’t think our conditions are much different, Shania.” Barbara broke the silence. “I don’t have a best friend,

but | have a good

you have a

husband. As for you, you don’t have a husband yet, but

best friend. If you think deeper, | think you win a little over me.”

Shania’s eyes narrowed. “Why so?”

Barbara pursed her mouth and looked up at the sky. “You can fall in love, date and get married in just an instant.

But to find a true friend, everyone needs years. So ...."”

Barbara looked back at Shania with a hint of envy. “You still chance to have both. A good friend and husband,

while 1...”

Barbara grimaced. “It seems like it’s too late to find somed can be a good friend. Moreover, after getting

married, my foo definitely be locked on my husband. Not to mention when | have children later. | think I'll be too

busy to make friends.”

“Later? Didn't you say you already have children with Philip?”

the

Barbara gasped. Her mouth was agape, her tongue was difficult to move. “Oh, about that. Sorry, we had to lie to

stop you. But please don’t talk about that yet. We're talking about what we have in life.”

Barbara's hands moved in twith her words. “Look.... Just like

how you think I'm lucky to have Philip, | would be very grateful if | had a friend like Poppy. So, instead of being

jealous of each other, how about we just be grateful for what we have?”

“Sorry, | don’t understand what you are discussing, but Shania has to wear clothes first,” Poppy interrupted

before turning Shania’s shoulders to face her. “Con, Shania. Your mother will scoldif

Poppy put Shania’s head into the hole in her t-shirt. Unlike usual, Shania resigned herself to being treated like a

child.

“Well, this is better. Now, please continue what you are discussing. | just want to rest in the tent.”

Poppy pressed her knees, about to get up. Before she managed stand up, Shania grabbed her arm.

“Wait. I'm coming with you.”

Poppy's eyes widened. “Did | hear that correctly? Don’t you still hav to finish your business? You haven't gotten

the man you want,” she whispered at the end.

Shania stood up and shook her head. “Let's go back to the tent.” After a quick glance at Philip and Barbara, she

left without another word.

“Has she really woken up? She won't chase you again, right?” Barbara muttered while watching Shania’s steps.

“Yeah, | think so.” Philip rubbed his wife's shoulder, pulling her closer.”

We can honeymoon in peace now.”

While looking at Philip, Barbara smiled sweetly. “Thank you for being loyal to me, Phil. I'm glad you heldback

when | was about to eat the noodles. You could have taken the opportunity to have fun with her while | was

asleep.”

“If I want to have fun, of course | will do it with you. It wouldn't be fun. if it was with another woman. I'd be

disgusted.”

“Really?” Barbara tilted her head. Her eyes narrowed. “But you enjoyed the view, right? | mean....”

Barbara placed her hands a few inches in front of her chest. “Her things are very beautiful. As a woman, I'm

even in awe of her.”

Philip flicked Barbara's forehead lightly. Barbara let out a small squeal and blinked.

“Philip! Why did you do it?” Barbara rubbed her forehead.

“So that your brain becomes clear again. Never praise other people, Babe. | don’t like it. You just have to praise

me. You like my breasts, right?”

Philip patted his left chest while raising his eyebrows. “You like here.”

Hearing her husband's joke, Barbara laughed. “Philip, you can’t compare the body structure of men and women.

They are differe

“Yeah, they're absolutely different. Mine is full of muscles and har while yours is very soft and tender.”

“Philip!” Barbara slapped away the naughty fingers that had just tickled her. “Don’t be impolite! Respect the

beach spirits. The

mountain spirits can still see us from there.”

Philip let out a laugh at those words again. “How about we go into the

tent? They can’t see what we're doing in there, right?”

Barbara's lips pursed. “Of course they can. They are not humans with

limited vision.”

“Is it true?” Philip smiled slyly. A second later, he picked up Barbara and carried her towards the tent “Then let's

prove it!”

“Philip,” Barbara scolded, whispering. “Don’t mess around. There are Shania and Poppy on this beach. They can

hear our voices.”

“Let’s do it without making a sound.

“What if the visitors cand see our tent shaking? They'll immediately know what we're doing!

“I'll do it slowly, without causing any vibrations.”

While the new couple was busy setting fire to the air, Poppy lowered the binoculars from in front of her eyes.

“I think they're doing the ritual again. Their tent is shaking violently.”

Instead of replying, Shania put on a sullen look. In silence, she just checked the map display on her phone.

“Shania, didn’t you hear my report? They are carrying out the ritu again.”

“I don’t care anymore, Poppy. I'm tired of chasing uncertain th Let's rest and continue our journey tomorrow

morning.”

With a high arch of eyebrows, Poppy approached her best friend. “A you serious? Have you really given up?”

“She slappedreally hard earlier. | don’t want to be slapped again.

“You wantto slap her back so that you guys are even?”

Shania lowered her phone and looked at Poppy with half-raised eyelids. “Can we stop talking about them? I'm

bored. Now help me

think about the next destination. Who knows, there might be another guy cooler than Philip, who is still single so

it won't cause any problems.”

Realizing Shania’s changes, Poppy finally stopped asking questions. She nodded and then looked at the map on

her phone.

“By the way, Poppy,” Shania called in the middle of their discussion,” have | ever offended you? Have you ever

felt very angry with me?”

Poppy blinked innocently. “Why should | be angry with you? You're my

only friend.”

Shania was stunned.

“Why did you ask? Does it have anything to do with what Barbara said earlier?” Poppy tilted her head.

Shania smiled faintly. She shook her head then pointed to a location on the map. “So shall we chere

tomorrow?”

Poppy nodded. “Yes.”

The next morning, they left Kvalvika Beach much earlier. Learning that the two girls had left without saying

goodbye, Barbara felt str

“Where do you think Shania and Poppy went, Phil?” Barbara mut when she didn’t find a red car in the parking lot.

Philip shrugged. “I don’t know. Do you hope to see them again? you miss them?”

Barbara shook her head slightly. “I'm glad it’s just the two of us now. I'm just worried. | hope they're both fine

and don’t cause any more problems.”

“My wife is really wise now, hmm?” Philip kissed her cheek.

Barbara pinched his stomach. “Control your self. It won't be nice if someone sees.”

Philip chuckled. However, seeing a pot on top of their campervan, his excitement turned to curiosity. “Babe, look

at that!”

While Barbara looked up, Philip ran towards the campervan. He took the pot and found a piece of paper and two

packets of noodles inside.
