Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

S21 36. Go Away!

“Daddy?” Barbara sighed spontaneously. “Why does he come here?”

Melanie grimaced. Roughly, she opened the door. “Send him away! We don’t want to see

him. Tell him not to bother us anymore!”

One of Philip’s eyebrows rose. He glanced at Barbara. The girl looked

worried.

“Sorry, Ma’am. We didn’t know you didn’t want to see him. We invited him in. Your

husband is waiting in the living room.”

Melanie gasped. Without further ado, she went to see Paul. Barbara hurried to follow.

“Daddy….” Tears came out when Barbara saw her father. However, when she was about to

approach him, Melanie held her hand.

“Stay where you are,” she whispered to Barbara before looking at Paul sharply. “What do

you want to come here for?”

The man in the suit with the messy tie got up from the sofa. His eyes no longer wandered.

“Melanie…. Barbara….” The curve of his lips looked very tired,

especially with thick eye bags and messy hair. “How are you guys? Are you comfortable

living here?”

Melanie snorted. “Of course. This house is much bigger than the house you offered me.”

Paul pursed his lips and looked down. Bringing his hands together in

front of his stomach, he shifted towards Melanie.

“Listen,” he sighed softly, “I know it’s not the time yet. But my company can’t wait any

longer. I need the money now.”

Melanie startled. Her eyes darted around. Knowing that the situation was safe, she quickly

grabbed Paul’s shirt. “Don’t talk here.”

Barbara was stunned to see her mother pulling her father up the stairs. Without waiting

for orders, she followed. However, right in front of Melanie’s bedroom door, she was

stopped.

“My Dear, wait outside.”

“But….”

“No but.”

In an instant, the door in front of her closed tightly. Barbara put her ear to it.

Unfortunately, no sound was captured.

“My wife,” Paul whispered as he touched Melanie’s shoulder. The worry on his face had

been replaced by a smile. “I really miss you.”

Before Melanie had time to answer, Paul had pulled her into a hug.

“I really can’t wait for another month to pass. I want to see you and Barbara at home

again. I feel lonely without you two.”

Instead of being touched, Melanie rolled her eyes. Clenching her ja she pushed Paul away.

“Are you crazy? Did you forget I told you not to show up around us?

Seeing his wife’s anger, Paul fell silent. His face became gloomy again.

“Sorry. I know this could threaten your mission, but it’s urgent. The company won’t survive

much longer without injections. We can’t wait any longer, Darling.”

“You think the conditions stated in the secret will are a joke?” Melanie raised an eyebrow.

With a small snort, she leaned closer to her husband’s ear.

“The gold will not reach me until Barbara and I have settled here for a

full month.”

“Yes, I understand. But your son is super rich. Can you ask him for help?” Paul frowned,

expecting pity.

Melanie pursed her mouth tightly. Her round eyes radiated firmness.” I can’t. That would

jeopardize my mission. You think your debt is small?”

Paul scratched his head, thinking. “Come on, Darling. Your son is generous. He certainly

wouldn’t mind helping his stepfather.”

“No way.” Melanie widened her eyes. Her finger pointed downward as if to emphasize her

sentence. “Don’t make me repeat myself.”

Paul let out a faint sigh. After a short silence, he snapped his fingers.

“Barbara just got a gift from him, right? How about we sell it? That orange diamond is very

expensive. The money can be used to buy time until we find the right investor.”

Melanie snorted in disbelief. While folding her arms in front of her

chest, she smiled dismissively.

“You forgot what you promised when you proposed to me? You said. you would fulfill all my

needs and desires. Now, why are you giving me trouble?”

Paul gasped. His eyebrows lowered, as did his tone. “What do you

mean?”

“Barbara and I really liked that diamond. Besides being expensive, it was rare. And it was

the first gift Frank ever gave me. I will never sell

it.”

Paul’s hands began to clench into fists. His face darkened. “You don’t want to help me?”

“That’s not helping, but sacrificing. You should fight harder so you

don’t become a burden on the family.”

“But you are my wife. What’s wrong with making a little sacrifice? Besides, my company

also suffered losses because of you.”

Paul was starting to have difficulty keeping his voice from rising. His eyes flashed red.

However, Melanie didn’t care. She shrugged one

shoulder and sneered.

“Sorry, I don’t want to live in trouble. If you can no longer support me, let’s divorce. What

kind of husband never gives his wife money for

more than three months?”

Paul’s breathe roared. His shoulders started to rise and fall. “All this

time, I have always fulfilled your wishes. Even if I have to take company money, I am

willing because I really love you.”

Melanie’s lips pursed, expressing both pity and contempt. “It’s a shame your efforts are

not enough, and I’m sorry about your company. But what can I do?”

Melanie patted Paul’s shoulder. “You are no longer worthy of me. Thank you for our time

together. I will always remember it.”

Unable to contain his annoyance any longer, Paul slapped Melanie’s hand away. “Don’t

test my patience. You think marriage is a joke? Act your age!”

“I’m not kidding. You are not a husband I can rely on anymore. Why should I continue a

detrimental marriage like this? Life is for fun and happiness.”

The corners of Paul’s lips twitched. Faintly, his laughter escaped and sounded cynical.

“You really want to separate from me? Don’t you regret it?”

Melanie sneered. “Why would I regret? I’m with my son now. He’s much more reliable than

you.”

“You think he wants to take in a parasite like you? No matter how rich he is, if he keeps

supporting a greedy woman like you, his company will also go bankrupt. He must have

learned from my experience.”

Paul raised an eyebrow. His voice was intimidating. “Yes, maybe now he is still patient with

you. But I’m sure he won’t be as patient as I am. There will come a time when he won’t

want to give you his money anymore, or maybe even a place to live.”

While Melanie gritted her teeth, Paul chuckled.

“So, what? Are you ready to live on your own? Without a husband or children who are

willing to take care of you?”

Melanie smiled lightly. Even though her head was tilted, her gaze was still on Paul. “You

think you can threaten me? I’m not scared. Frank’s a good son. He wouldn’t ignore me.”

“Is it true?” Paul nodded and stepped back. His hands were slightly stretched. “Well then,

let’s get a divorce. Let’s see how long you c survive, especially after Frank finds out your

secret.”

The curve of Melanie’s lips suddenly froze. Her lungs stopped as something stuck in her

throat.
