S21 46. Can’t Survive Without Barbara

“Didn’t they say that Barbara followed her father? Why don’t you believe it?” Frank’s voice turned cold.

However, Melanie didn’t care. Her emotions continued to flare.

“Why should I trust them? They obviously hate me and Barbara. They don’t like us living here. That’s why they kicked Barbara out in such a cruel way.”

Frank tilted his head, looking at Melanie as if he didn’t know her.

“Mom, didn’t you see their interactions lately? The children love Barbara. Barbara even has fun with them. Why do you think of them so badly?”

Melanie tightened her facial muscles. Her hands gripped Frank’s arms tightly.

“Don’t be fooled by them, Son. They are little devils who are good at acting. They are only nice in front of you. Just now, they dared to argue with me. They pulled on my dress!”

“That’s because you started it first.”

“No!” Melanie put on a pitiful look. “Please, Frank. Just this once, side with me. You’ve defended them enough.”

“I’m not defending anyone. I’m just telling the truth. Barbara is safe with her father and we don’t need to worry about her.”

Frank’s tone dropped drastically. His eyes sharpened. However, Melanie snorted instead. Gritting her teeth, she shook her son’s arm.

“Come to your senses, Frank. Your sister is not safe at all. The only place where she’s not in danger is here, in this house. Therefore, you

have to go get your sister.”

“Mom, Barbara is an adult. If she prefers to follow her father, so be it. She can definitely take care of herself.”

“No, Frank She can’t survive without me, and I can’t survive without her. How can I sleep if I keep thinking about Barbara?”

Frank took a deep breath. His patience was almost gone.

“If you don’t want to separate from Barbara, why don’t you just follow her? Make peace with Paul Harris. Your family can still be saved.”

“You kicked me out? Melanie lowered her hands and shook her head in disbelief. “I came all the way here for you. But you want me to go? How could you, Frank?”

Frank scratched his temple. His lips curled into a slight grin. He was starting to get tired.
