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?”

“I’ll think about it in more detail later. Now the important thing is let’s meet Mom. We should settle everything so that no one else is

harmed.”

Paul’s eyes narrowed. “What do you want to talk to her? Why do you look so sure that it can make her change?”

“Actually, I’m not sure. But I have to tell Mom and I can’t delay an longer,” Barbara nodded slightly. “Just pray for me, Dad. I ho words won’t be in vain.”

Seeing Paul frown, Barbara tightened her grip. “How is it, Dad? Sh we meet Mom tomorrow?” she whispered slowly.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Paul sighed heavily. “Sorry, Darling. I want to support you, but I have an important agenda

tomorrow.”

“Then, I can handle it alone. I’ll bring the divorce papers to Mom.”

Barbara’s back straightened. Her hand patted her chest, while her eyes sparkled with hope. Paul didn’t have the heart to put it out.

“After that, you are going home, right?”

Barbara fell silent before nodding slowly. “Yes. There are several things that I need to prepare before living independently. Of course I will come back here.”

Paul looked at Barbara uncertainly. However, after placing both hands on her shoulders, he sighed in resignation. “I didn’t think this moment would come so soon. You’re not a spoiled child anymore, Barbara.”

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

emphasized, “Then go. Don’t let me down. I will die of disappointment if you betray me.”
