We have a saying like this in Japanese:
"Parents' heart toward children, of which
the children aren't aware."
Is there any similar proverb in English?

Thank you.

I can't think of anything other than the parents' common complaint of 'ungrateful *** kids!'.

There is a phrase 'mothers' love' but it doesn't quite sum up what you are saying.
