S2 51. Independent Girl

Barbara shook her head firmly. “Sorry, Dad. I’ve made up my mind. I want to explore my own potential.”

Paul gaped wordlessly. His common sense was shaken and his heart still refused to believe it until Barbara grabbed his hand.

“Dad, you don’t need to worry. I will visit you on holidays and weekends, alternating with visiting Mom. Later, when I become a professional, maybe I can also help you with managing the company.”

“Where do you want to live? What work do you do? How do you survive when you never even go to the kitchen?”

Barbara bit her lip, holding back a smile. “I can’t always rely on you and Mom. Of course I have to learn to survive.”

Paul nodded. While strengthening Barbara’s shoulders, he
