S21 49. Barbara’s Call

“Are you okay?” Philip finally spoke up.

Barbara sighed. After a few blinks, the corner of her lips forced up.

“I was given a choice by my father. If I don’t contact my mother until their divorce papers

are signed, I can be free later. I can accompany

thern in turn,”

“But if not?” Louis raised his eyebrows.

Barbara pursed her lips. “I’m forbidden from seeing my mother again. Because if that

happens, my father is afraid he’ll never be allowed to

see me again.”

The twins frowned and clutched their chests. “That can’t happen,” Emily shook her head.

“Yeah, it’s too terrible!” Louis nodded with pursed lips.

Seeing that genuine concern, Barbara snorted a laugh. Moreover, Philip secretly took a

heavy breath, Barbara’s heart tingled knowing that her presence was awaited.

“Calm down! I won’t let that happen. I’ve blocked my mother’s

number. She can’t contact me.

Louis gave two thumbs up. “Good job, Auntie. Keep your distance from Grandma.”

“Yes, that’s the only way we can meet again later.” Emily’s eyes. flashed with hope.

Suddenly, the door of the room swung opened. “Is that Barbara?”

Not getting an answer, Melanie stepped inside. Just before she managed to grab Philip’s

phone, the twins pushed her back.

Sorry, Grandma. Grandma can’t talk to Auntie!”

“Yeah! Otherwise, we won’t even be able to see her again!”

Melanie let out a quick sigh. “You dare forbid me from talking to my daughter?”

“Please don’t misunderstand, Mom.” Kara pulled the twins back.” Barbara is being tested

by her father. If she can refrain from

contacting you until the divorce papers are signed, she can be free to

meet us later.

“Nonsense!” Melanie’s eyebrows pressed against her forehead. “Your thought I didn’t

hear? You were the ones who separated us on

purpose.

Kara shook her head quickly. However, before she could speak, Melanie snapped, “Those

little devils even dared to threaten Barbara, asking her to keep her distance from me. You

think I’ll just keep quiet? No!”

With a firm expression, Melanie stretched out her hand towards Philip. “Hand over the

phone!”

Philip’s jaw tightened. “Sorry, Madam. It’s not that I forbid you, b Barbara herself doesn’t

want to talk to you.”

“Hand it over!”

Melanie jerked Philip’s arm. Feeling uncomfortable, the man gave up his phone. When

Melanie checked, Barbara had already ended the call.

“Did you end it on purpose?” she shouted, right in front of Philip’s face.

Kara sighed in pity. Tightening her fists, she finally put on a firm expression. “Please listen

to us, Mom. We don’t mean to keep you

and Barbara apart, at all. On the contrary, we want to help her get back together with

you.”

Suddenly, Melanie pointed her finger in front of Kara’s face. “Shut up! I don’t need your

theatrics.”

Then, putting one hand on her hip, Melanie called back. However,

Barbara did not answer the call.

“Damn,” she cursed vaguely.

With clenched teeth, Melanie called Barbara on her own phone. When the cellular operator

greeted her, she finally came to her senses.

“Barbara blocked my number?!” Her voice was boiling and her eyes

were burning.

A second later, Melanie swept everyone with a cynical glance. “What have you said to my

daughter? She has never acted this far. You must have poisoned her mind.”

Kara’s hands rose forward. “Please calm down, Mom. Barbara is doing this for your good

too.”

Suddenly, Melanie pointed at Kara with Philip’s phone. “You’ll se Soon, you will be

rewarded for your rotten behavior.”

Kara gasped. She didn’t expect her mother-in-law to say such ha words. When she blinked,

Melanie’s hand had moved towards Phi

“And you…. Don’t think you can win over me. Your position is just an assistant. You don’t

deserve to be friends with my daughter.”

Unexpectedly, the phone from Melanie’s hand slid towards Philip’s face. The twins

squealed together.

“Philip!”

“Watch out!”

Luckily, the man was quick enough to catch it. The tension melted away in an instant.

“Thanks God, it didn’t hit Philip.” Emily stroked her chest.

“I forgot that Philip’s a former soldier.” Louis wiped his forehead as if there was sweat

flowing there.

Meanwhile, Melanie left innocently. Kara couldn’t understand her. After sighing heavily,

she faced Philip. “Are you okay?”

The man nodded. His lips curved even though they were stiff. “I’m okay, Ma’am.”

Then, Philip looked down to meet the twins’ gaze. The toddlers just grabbed his fingers, as

if sending strength. “I’m fine,” he stressed.

Before the twins could reply, Kara sighed again. “Please don’t take those words

personally.”

Philip smiled slightly. “That’s not a problem at all, Madam. I’m an assistant after all. That’s

not wrong.

“But you are worthy of being friends with anyone, including Barb Kara raised an eyebrow,

confirming that there was another me

contained in her words.

Understanding the code, Philip’s lips pursed. “Thank you, Madam. keep it in mind.”

Suddenly, Louis groaned. “What a shame! Because of Grandma, we forgot to show Auntie

the animation.”

Emily’s lips pursed as well. “Now how do we contact Auntie? She

must be afraid to call back or receive a call from us.”

Right after Emily said the last word, Kara’s phone rang. Everyone immediately widened

their eyes.

Emily quickly put her finger to her lips. “Shh, don’t be so loud, Louis. Grandma could hear

you.”

Louis covered his mouth with both hands. Meanwhile, Kara furrowed

her eyebrows at the unknown number displayed on the screen.

“What’s wrong, Madam?”

Kara shook her head slightly. Still frowning, she received the call. Hello?”

“Sister-in-law! My mother has gone, hasn’t she?”

Kara’s eyes widened. The stiffness on her face peeled away. “Wait. I’ll turn on the speaker,

so speak slowly.” A second later, she lowered the phone in front of the twins.

“Hello? Are you still there?”

Louis and Emily gaped. Their eyes lit up again. “Auntie?”

“Hi, what happened earlier? Are you okay?”

Emily immediately pouted. “Grandma got angry again. She even t a phone at Philip’s

face.”

Barbara gasped. “How is he now? Is he injured?”

Louis shook his head. “No. Luckily Philip was quick to catch it. Auntie should have seen his

movements earlier. He was very cool.”

“Thank goodness. I would feel guilty if something happened to him.”,

Philip secretly held his breath. His heart tingled knowing Barbara was worried about him.

sounded cute.

However, Barbara remained silent. A faint sigh followed a moment

later.

this.”

The twins’ eyes widened. When they looked up, they saw the same. expression.

“What do you want to do?” Kara whispered.

“Wait. I will persuade my father to get everything done quickly.”

“Then what about our animation?” Louis raised his eyebrows.

“Keep it! You guys can show me in person when I get there.”

Emily’s mouth rounded again. “Are you coming here?” “Yes, I hope my father will allow
