S21 50. Philip Likes You, Auntie


    Louis suddenly clenched his hands into the air. “Woohoo! We''ll get together again. We''ll have fun and Philip can stop being so


    upset.”


    Philip gasped. “I''m not upset.”


    “Yeah, you''re upset.” Emily smiled teasingly. “Louis said you often sat in the back yard, looking at Auntie’s window.”


    “Yeah, even this afternoon, you disappeared somewhere. Maybe you were alone in your room thinking about Auntie.”


    Philip blinked rapidly. “No, I''m in your father’s study, delivering the weekly report.”


    With his hands on his hips, Louis shook his head. “Don’t deny it, Philip. We know you''re the one who misses Auntie the most.”


    “Yeah, you''ve been daydreaming a lottely too. Just admit it, Philip.” Emily''s index finger wiggled as if to tickle the man.


    Philip was speechless. He froze, as if one movement would be considered the correct answer. He wasn''t ready to express his


    feelings.


    Karaughed again. While the twins continued to tease Philip, s said, “Good luck, Barbara. We look forward to seeing you here.”


    “Yes! Come quickly, Auntie. Philip can’t wait.”


    Philip''s ears were very red. Unable to contain his embarrassment any longer, he covered Louis’ mouth. “Don’t make things up,


    Young


    Master.”


    “But that-"


    Philip bent his knees and locked Louis with his arms. The toddler

    could no longer move. His hand reached for the phone as if hoping for help from Barbara.


    Seeing that, Emily burst intoughter. “Auntie, Philip is annoyed that we keep teasing him. He caught Louis. Now, his face looks


    like a


    boiled crab!”


    With his other hand, Philip caught Emily. The tiny girl immediately sagged in his arms. Herughter grew louder.


    “Philip likes you, Auntie. Philip...."


    The man finally managed to cover Emily''s mouth. However, still trying to speak. She was iling her arms around, imitating


    Louis. Kara could only shake her head at their behavior.

    “Barbara, they''re busy wrestling. You can call them backter,” Kara said softly.


    “Okay,” Barbara''s voice was soft, as if she had just finishedughing. See you, Sister-inw.”


    “See you, Sister-inw.”


    After hanging up the phone, Kara returned to her chair, watching Philip''s excitement dealing with the twins. In her heart, she


    hoped their friendship couldst forever.


    ‘It would be really nice if Philip became the children’s uncle. Their rtionship with Barbara would also be closer.”


    However, after a few moments, her smile faded. Mnie''s threat shed through her mind.


    ‘I hope this problem can be resolved soon. She can''t continue to


    consider us her enemies.’


    Unbeknownst to Kara, Barbara was also thinking the same thing. The girl was now pensive looking at the report she received


    from Nora.

    “Yesterday, Mom has threatened Philip, pushed Emily, and pped Kara. Today, Mom threw a phone at Philip''s face. What else


    will she do tomorrow?”


    Barbara took a deep breath. While lying on her bed, she yed the video she had recorded on the beach. Seeing Philip and the


    twins’


    laughter, her eyes filled with tears.


    “Is there a way to be with them without sacrificing Mom and Dad?”


    While biting her lip, Barbara closed her eyes. She ced her phone on her chest. It was still ying the recording. When the


    video ended, an idea dawned on her.


    “Philip is right. | have to dare to get out of myfort zone. I''m not a coward who can''t do anything.”


    After stuffing her lungs with courage, Barbara got up and went to see


    her father.

    Paul stopped staring at the documents. Seeing Barbara, his furrowed brows immediately rxed.


    “What''s wrong, Darling? Anything you need?” Paul took off his s and approached his daughter.


    “Do you have a minute? There''s something | want to talk about.” Barbara smiled slightly. She let her father guide her by the


    shoulder


    towards the chair.


    “Of course | have. You are my number one priority. So, what is it? You want to ask for money? | have a little money now.”


    The curve of Barbara''s lips pursed. Before Paul reached for his wallet, she shook her head. “That''s not it, Dad. | want to talk


    about Mom.”


    Paul''s cheerfulness suddenly faded. “Do you miss her? Do you want


    +25 BONUS


    to go back to her?”


    “I feel sorry for the Harper family, Dad. Mom keeps making things difficult for them. Moreover, you know her true intentions.”


    Paul''s brows furrowed deeply. His gaze turned surprised. “Is this really you? Since when do you worry about other people,


    Darling?”


    Barbara took a deep breath. Her shoulder lifted briefly. “Since I''ve known them?”


    While rubbing his chin, Paul leaned against his work desk.


    “Then what do you want, Darling? There''s nothing we can do. Your mother doesn’t want to go home. She prefers to stay there.


    Besides ....


    Paul sighed heavily. “I''ve made up my mind. | can no longer be together with your mother. Things are very different now.”


    Suddenly, Paul stared out the window. His eyebrows arched in sadness.


    “I fell in love with her from the first sight. Even though she was a widow at that time, her aura and beauty captured my heart.


    Since then, | have been determined to always make her happy.”


    “Now that feeling has changed?” m

    Barbara suddenly remembered the twins’ words. Hearing simr terms from her father, she snorted in amusement.


    If only she had realized it earlier, her parents’ marriage might have


    +25 BONUS


    been saved and Harris’pany might have avoided the problems. Why didn’t she stop following the wrong path a long time


    ago?


    “How about we go back there tomorrow, Dad? | need to straighten out a few things with Mom, and you can take care of the


    divorce papers as soon as possible.”


    Paul furrowed his brows. He got up from the table and examined. Barbara''s eyes more closely. “You support your parents’


    divorce?”


    Barbara blinked stiffly. “If that''s what''s best for everyone, why not?”


    Paul covered his mouth with a fist. “Are you really okay, Darling?”


    “Yes, Dad. There''s nothing wrong with me. It''s just that I''m wiser now.”


    As Barbara smiled, Paul held her shoulders.


    “Did she ask you to do this?”


    Barbara let out augh. “No, Dad. | haven''t even picked up her phone calls for two days.”


    “Then why do you support us breaking up? Is it because you already- know who you want to go with?”


    Barbara pursed her lips and nodded. “After you two separate, y don''t need to worry about me. I''ve made a big decision.”


    “What is it?” Paul''s eyes grew sunken.


    Barbara smiled faintly. “I''m an adult, Dad. | want to live independently


    1 will find a job and take care of myself. | want to learn to spread my wings.”


    Paul was stunned. Dropping his hand from Barbara''s shoulder, he took a step back.


    “That''s not a good decision, Darling. How are you going to survive? And if you want to work, why not just help me with the


    company? We


    +25 BONUS


    can improve together, and | can help you if you''re having trouble.”
