Chapter 75 - Seventy-five : Keep Him Company. (2/2)

licked her lips .

This time the threat was effective cause Anabelle became as silent as a hound at fault and gave her some space but just as I was about to scold Izzy, my phone vibrated with a message.

I opened it only to discover it was from Cecil and she was asking if it was okay to send her son over to my place, she had an emergency.

I stared at the two girls having a staring contest and smiled, they would definitely keep him company and so I replied her,

”Fine, you can send him over. Your kid is in safe hands, trust me ”

I turned around in time to see the once quiet Annabelle asking Isabelle ” Hey Izzy, what do you like the most? ”

But Isabelle gave her a ridiculous look and raised a brow ” Why? You want to take it from me? ”

I watched Annabelle go red in the face and stutter ”N-no, of course not.. I-m just curious because I want to help Y-you out ”

Izzy gave her a sweet smile that never did reach her eyes ”Oh Annabelle, how sweet of you ” She said in a singsong before all smiles vanished from her face as if it had never being there at the first place.

”Trust me, anything I need; I take it, and anything I don't have ; I take it. So thanks for your unappreciated concern dear cousin ”

”Manners young lady” I warned when I couldn't stand her sharp-tongue anymore, the girl really needs to be taught how to be nice.

”No, it's okay ” Annabelle defended her

So I faced this sweet but dumb girl ” Anytime Izzy says something insulting , you stand up for yourself, you hear me? ”

She nodded and swallowed nervously which wasn't surprising considering this was my first time of being strict with her, Izzy was normally the one who takes the heat.

As if on cue, the doorbell rang and I hurried to open it while the girls stared at me in curiosity, it was obvious they weren't expecting any visitor.

”Hi Cecil ” I welcomed and dropped a peck on both cheeks as she did the same.

”I'm so sorry to bother you but I have an emergency and I can't leave Pedro at home all by himself and - ”

”It's okay, I totally understand . Besides Pedro is a nice boy and I've got kids inside who would keep him company ” I explained and took Pedro from her.

”Thanks love, you're a life saver ” She complimented me with a grateful smile and then squat down to ruffle Pedro's hair saying

”Be a good kid, mama's gonna be back soon ”

But Pedro eyes me before returning his gaze to his mom and pouts his lips ” Stop it mom, you're embarrassing me ”

”Really? ” Cecil's face lit up in amusement before she laughs ”My son is all grown up ”

She then stood and waved at me ” I'll see you guys later ”

I waved back ” Good luck ” She left and I welcomed Pedro into the house

”You don't have to be sad cause Isabelle and Anabelle are here and I'm sure they would keep you..... ” I trailed off the moment we reached the living room cause the way the girls were staring at us; if eyes were bullet then we would be long dead.

Suddenly they stiffened and for a while nobody says anything until Annabelle screamed.
