S21 42. Stay Away from My Daughter

“Mom, why did you say that?” Barbara tugged at her mother’s sleeve.

Melanie brushed her hand away. “Don’t get involved, Barbara. This is a matter between me and the man who doesn’t know himself. His job is only to manage the house and take care of the children. How dare he want to get close to you? What does he really have?”

Philip took a deep breath. His hands clenched into fists at his sides.” Sorry, Madam. What’s wrong with my job? Why do you mention it like a lowly job?”

While Barbara was stunned, Melanie sighed in disbelief. “You dare to fight?”

With round eyes, Melanie approached the man. However, before she could reach him, Barbara stopped her.

“Enough, Mommy. Don’t embarrass me.”

“The man behind you is shameless. He’s just an assistant, but he

“Then what about me? I don’t even have a job. Did I embarrass you?”

Melanie was taken aback. “You’re defending him? What’s wrong with you?”

“There’s nothing wrong with me. Philip has fixed me!”

Melanie’s laugh started to sound cynical. “So, is he the reason you’ve changed lately? He poisoned your mind with what? A spell?”

“Once again you approach my daughter, I will make you regret it. You are nothing. You have nothing worthy to offer her.”

“Mom!”

Barbara’s tears welled up again. Not knowing how to deal with her mother, she ran inside. Philip looked at her back with a troubled heart.

“You!” Melanie pushed Philip’s shoulder with her index finger. “Our business isn’t finished yet. While you still have the chance, stay away from my daughter.”

As Melanie turned to follow Barbara, Philip closed his eyes. He was trying to control his feelings. But suddenly, something appeared from
