Monsieur Dubin shook his head, "Adelle. No matter what you do, my decision to keep the shop as is will never change."
"You and I both know that a change won't do anything to help us." He reminded Adelle, who in turn gripped the basket in her hands tightly. "Your mother and I are no longer young. Sooner or later, this shop will vanish along with us."
'Vanish?' I sent Monsieur Dubin a look of confusion. But at that point of time, I didn't understand the meaning behind that word.
"Then why...why can't you give me ownership rights to the shop?!" Adelle pressed on, there was determination in her voice. "I'll be able to keep the shop alive with Henri."
Monsieur Dubin frowned at Adelle, "No. This burden won't be given to you." Even though Adelle sounded like she was at the point of yelling, Monsieur Dubin kept a calm voice as he continued speaking to his daughter.
"Do you understand me, Adelle?" He gestured for Adelle to look around the whole shop. "This shop isn't your dream. This from start to finish will end with my story."
