S21 56. Philip’s Confession

Barbara froze. Her eyes slowly traced the hand. Finding Philip’s flat expression, she grimaced.

‘Since when were you there?”

Philip slipped his handkerchief into the girl’s grasp. “Since a few seconds ago. So, Mr. Harris allowed you to stay overnight?”

Barbara blinked. While looking away, she nodded. “Yes.”

Her hand gripped Philip’s handkerchief tighter. After hesitating, she finally patted her cheek with the soft cloth.

Philip secretly put on a thin smile. “Actually, there’s something I want to talk to you about.”

Barbara glanced awkwardly. “What?”

Suddenly, Philip sat beside her. Their arms accidentally touched. Before Barbara had time to move, the man asked, “Are you angry

because I took the apartment from your mother?”

Barbara’s eyes spontaneously widened. She turned slightly until their knees collided. “Why do you ask that?”

Philip pursed his lips. His lungs felt full.

“When Mr. Morris stated the final decision, you didn’t smile. I even saw your brows furrow slightly.”

Barbara gaped for a moment. When her brain finished digesting, she let out a laugh. “Of course not. Why should I be angry? You didn’t take anything from my mother. That’s your right.”

Philip raised an eyebrow. “You think so?”

Barbara smiled sweetly and nodded. “Yeah. I’m actually glad you got the apartment.”

“Why?”

The curve of Barbara’s lips suddenly froze. After a few blinks, she looked down again.

“People like to judge others based on their wealth. They only want to respect and listen to rich people. My mother is of that group.”

Peeking out of the corner of her eye, Barbara lowered her tone. “If you had an apartment, my mother might stop looking down on you. She wouldn’t stop me from being friends with you anymore.”

Before her cheeks turned red, Barbara hurriedly looked away. Philip’s heart tingled at her behavior.

“Is that so? But in my opinion, it’s not something to be proud of. I didn’t get it from hard work.”

“But at least, you got the apartment because of your kindness and qualities. Rowan Harper trusted you, unlike my mother who got the inheritance because of her greed.”
