Angelica's determination

The next day...

Angelica was enjoying breakfast with her father in the dining room, with a menu made by her stepmother named Barbara. The girl ate slowly, occasionally glancing at her father who looked so hungry.

"I want to live in a rented or rented apartment," she said.

Instantly Thomas looked at Angelica. "Why?"

"It's okay, I just want to be like my friend who started self-study," Angelica replied with a shrug. "And maybe... Maybe I'm with Matheo. So dad doesn't have to worry anymore because he can take care of me," she continued.

Thomas frowned, finding it a bit odd for him to let his daughter live with a young man, like other teenage couples.

"He can take care of you, but dad isn't sure he can keep himself from doing anything indecent to you….you don't have to live with him if you want to be independent," he said flatly. "You'd better take a girl friend who lives with you ... Not Matheo or any other boy friend," he continued.
