“Are you okay?” Philip finally spoke up.

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

“| was given a choice by my father. If | don’t contact my mother until their divorce papers are signed, | can be free later. | 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! | 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?”

The twins gasped. Melanie was already standing with her eyes almost popping out.

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 | 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 | 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! | 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.

Asecond 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.

“| 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? SheBelongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

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.

“Is that Auntie?” Louis exclaimed.
