S21 77.1 Don't Deserve to be Here After a blink, Louis was running again, following the others. “Mommy, Emily!” It wasn't just those two’people, Frank, who was standing closest to the door, turned around. “What's wrong, Louis?” “Auntie plans to leave. She is preparing her suitcase!” Emily's jaw dropped. Panic, she shouted at the door. “Auntie, are you listening to me? Please don't go.” Louis didn’t want to lose. He slipped between Philip and his parents then stopped beside Emily. “Auntie, please don’t go! None of this is your fault. You don't need to feel guilty.” However, a few moments later, Barbara opened the door with a sad expression. A suitcase stood by her side. “Barbara, where are you going?” Kara sighed, worried. “Sorry, | can no longer stay here. | don’t want people to think bad about you. It should be Mom and me who bear the consequences. Not you guys.” Frank hurriedly held her arm. “Can you ignore them? Those people are just jealous of you. They don't like it when you are happy. They forget that | am your brother. My house is also yours.” “And your leaving won't change things either, Barbara,” Kara continued. However, Barbara shook her head. “But they are right. | should have been by Mom's side. I should focus on taking care of her, not leaving her alone.” +25 BONUS “Mom is in the right care,” Frank emphasized. “Still... 1 shouldn't be happy while she suffers. | don’t deserve to live in your house. | don’t deserve to feel the luxury and comfort here, especially for free. I'm ashamed to be a parasite in your family.” Frank exhaled heavily. His jaw throbbed in annoyance. “Stop comparing yourself to a parasite, okay? You are not a parasite. You are my sister.” “A sister who came because she was after your wealth. That was the original purpose of my arrival.” “Mom’s purpose, not yours. Everyone can see that.” Barbara shook her head weakly. “Don't rate me too highly. I'm not that good. | supported her plan.” “But then you changed. That's the key word. The situation then and now is different. People need to know who you are now. So stay.” Frank raised an eyebrow, hopeful. “Yes, Auntie. Don’t go. We can definitely solve this problem together,” Louis persuaded. “If Auntie leaves, things will only get more complicated. We will all be very sad, especially Philip.” Emily led the others, looking at the assistant. The man looked cold. His eyes had never been that dim. “Can't you stay?” His voice shook Barbara's guts. “Sorry, Philip. Please don’t get in my way. | don’t want to fight with you. My decision is final. | don’t belong here.” Philip stuffed his lungs with patience. Once they're full, he approached Barbara. Everyone stepped aside, making way for him. +25 BONUS “I don’t want to hinder you. | just want to remind you. There are better ways than running away.” Barbara looked away. She didn’t want to hear more. “Can't you guys respect my decision?” Barbara's breath hitched, her words strangled. Tears fell harder. “Recently, | have been very tired. Today is the peak. | want to take a break for a moment. I'm not leaving to leave you. I'll definitely be back later, continuing the project with Emily. But for now, please ...." She glanced around at everyone. “I need to make peace with everything. With myself, with circumstances, with people. For just a moment, | want to hide from the world.” “But where are you going? You cannot possibly return to your house. It's already late.” Philip shook his lover's arm, trying to revive her senses. “I could rent a hotel,” Barbara said, unwavering. “That's not a wise choice, Barbara,” Frank shook his head briskly. “If paparazzi found out, it could be a big problem. And everyone here will not be at peace thinking about your safety. Moreover, your wound has not completely healed.” “But | want to get out of here, Brother,” Barbara's voice finally b Every corner of this house reminds me of Mom, of her disastrous ambitions. | really can't stand the memory.” Everyone fell silent.

However, before she could take a step, Philip grabbed her good shoulder. +25 BONUS “Okay, if that's what you want. Let's go.” Barbara's eyebrows knitted together. “I can go alone,” she repeated in a confused tone. “Not without me.” Philip looked straight at her. After a blink, he turned to Frank, Kara, and the twins. “Do you guys mind if | take some time off?” The four people shrugged their shoulders together. “No. Of course not.” While Barbara was stunned, Philip raised the corners of his lips. ” Then let's go to my apartment.” Barbara pondered for a moment. Her eyes trembled, recording the sincerity that clearly radiated in front of her. “Wait. You must have misunderstood. | go not only to be alone, but also to prove that | can live independently, without relying on someone else.” “I'm not someone else, Barbara. | am your boyfriend, your lover, your future husband. It's natural that | protect you. And my way is to offer a place to stay.” “But” Suddenly, Kara stroked Barbara's hair, just like a sister comforted her younger sibling. “If you insist on leaving here, go with Philip. He can take care of you and people won't be able to bother you. Only then can we calm down.”. “Yes, Auntie. Go with Philip. That way, | can sleep tonight,” Emily nodded with her hands clasped under her chin.

With a small smile, he patted Barbara on the back. “Then you should start avoiding trouble.
