S21 36. Go Away!

“Daddy?” Barbara sighed spontaneously. “Why does he come here?”

Melanie grimaced. Roughly, she opened the door. “Send him away! We don’t want to see him. Tell him not to bother us anymore!”

One of Philip’s eyebrows rose. He glanced at Barbara. The girl looked

worried.

“Sorry, Ma’am. We didn’t know you didn’t want to see him. We invited him in. Your husband is waiting in the living room.”

Melanie gasped. Without further ado, she went to see Paul. Barbara hurried to follow.

“Daddy….” Tears came out when Barbara saw her father. However, when she was about to approach him, Melanie held her hand.

“Stay where you are,” she whispered to Barbara before looking at Paul sharply. “What do you want to come here for?”

The man in the suit with the messy tie got up from the sofa. His eyes no longer wandered.

“Melanie…. Barbara….” The curve of his lips looked very tired,

especially with thick eye bags and messy hair. “How are you guys? Are you comfortable living here?”

Melanie snorted. “Of course. This house is much bigger than the house you offered me.”

Paul pursed his lips and looked down. Bringing his hands together in

front of his stomach, he shifted towards Melanie.

“Listen,” he sighed softly, “I know it’s not the time yet. But my company can’t wait any longer. I need the money now.”

Melanie startled. Her eyes darted around. Knowing that the situation was safe, she quickly grabbed Paul’s shirt. “Don’t talk here.”

Barbara was stunned to see her mother pulling her father up the stairs. Without waiting for orders, she followed. However, right in front of Melanie’s bedroom door, she was stopped.

“My Dear, wait outside.”

“But….”

“No but.”
