"Family?" Kimberly laughed. "I---"
She wanted to deny it at first, tell this housekeeper that they're not a family at all, but then she remembered he is the father of her children. But they are not together, are they still called a family?
Kimberly doesn't think they are. Families are parents and children living together... But aren't they technically living together?
Coughing, Kimberly continued her words. "Anyway, we're not."
"You're not?" The housekeeper replied, her eyes squinting in doubt.
What's with that?
Kimberly shook her head strongly. "Nope. Not at all."
But he is the father of the twins, but yeah.
She doesn't want to complicate things, so Kimberly keeps quiet about that.
"But I heard the kids call sir dad."
"..." Yes, of course. How could she forget? Embarrassed, Kimberly reasoned out. "Well... He’s, their father."
"Biologically?"
"Yeah."
"Then you're a family." The housekeeper concluded.
Kimberly disagreed. "No. We're not together."
