Chapter 250 - Two Hundred And Fifty: Whos Your Mother (2/2)
”Yeah, you,”
”Ailee Armani Princess - II”
Isabella frowned, she didn't know any prominent family by that name but it couldn't be a coincidence that this little girl had the same surname as Reina, right?
”Big sis, what about you? What's your name?”
”Isabelle Spencer,” she answered, moving to lean beside Ailee, ”So..” Izzy started, ”Tell me about those people, why are they chasing you? Don't you have a mommy?” Isabella tactically began her investigation.
Ailee gulped, licking her lower lips, why was this big sister suddenly questioning her with a smile on her face? That was the same thing grandfather does when he wants to snatch some information from her.
”Of course, I have a mommy,” Ailee answered, making sure not to go into details. Moreover, mommy would admonish her if she were to give out information about her carelessly.
Isabella hid a smirk, ”Who's your mommy?”
”Someone,”
”Yes, someone Of course. Who's that someone?” she pressed, almost losing her temper in the process - having no knowledge she was being played.
”Why are you so interested in my mommy? Do you want my mommy too?” Ailee asked her.
Isabella was taken aback by the situation, who was doing the questioning here? Well, maybe, this could be another opportunity…
She lowered herself to Ailee's height, plastering a rare smile - a smile used to lure naive kids, ”Your mom must be a good person. What if I say yes? Would you let me have your mommy?”
Isabella thought she was winning when the girl gave her a sheepish grin - that came to an abrupt stop when she said, ”No, I'm a jealous lover. It's already hard sharing mom with Allen, not to talk of you,” Was her rejection.
At that moment, Isabella came to a shocking realization that she was dealing with a smart kid. How was she going to deal with Ailee? Give Neon ice cream and you buy him over, what would…. Wait a minute…
”You have a brother?” Isabella was surprised. If that was true and Reina turns out to be Maya who turns out to be their mother, wouldn't that mean she was married already? Else how would she have given birth to two children? How would Niklaus have a second chance with her?
”Oh, Allen?” Ailee shrugged, ”He's my twin brother,”
Oh twin, what a huge relief.
Isabella used that opportunity to scrutinize Ailee intensely. Their hair color was not that different and if she could conjure what Maya looked like, this kid was not far behind from it.
Her heart raced, slamming against her chest with reverberating thuds. If her theory was right and Maya was truly alive, does this mean Ailee was her sibling? And her brother… wait, she had two siblings? H-how? W-what? She just didn't know how to express herself.
However, Isabella didn't rejoice yet. What if after all this excitement and expectations and Reina turns out to be truly Maya's lookalike? That would crush her. The only thing she could do now was to find the missing twin brother, who hopefully speaks her language and leads her to their mother.
”So, where's your brother ?”
Speaking of Allen…
The little boy somehow escaped his mom's security and made his way into one of the eateries. He could hide in here for a while or so he thought because the moment he turned around, a boy bumped into him- amid his attempt to evade the boy- and his ice cream slipped to the ground.
”Mommy!” The cry baby opened his mouth, bawling his eyes out.
”Stop crying so loud, you're hurting my ears. It's just ice cream. I'll get you another one,” Allen enticed him but the boy shrieked further.
”Neon!” A woman rushed over to him, worry written all over her face, ” What is it?” she panicked.
”My ice cream,” Neon pointed to the mess on the ground and to the boy who stood watching them blankly.
”What did you do to him?” Jennifer focused heated orbs on Allen when her son wouldn't stop crying, ”Did you hit him?”
Allen snorted, ”Hit him? Why would I hit him? I don't waste my energy on crybabies,”
”He called me a crybaby?” Neon burst into more tears.
”Apologize!” Jennifer growled at him.
”I spoke the truth so why should I apologize? For him being a crybaby? He was the one who bumped into me because his entire concentration was on the ice cream. I would pay for the damage to his ice cream but I won't apologize for pointing out the truth,” Allen declared boldly without blinking an eye.
”You rude child!” Jennifer saw red, raising her voice on him, ” Who's your mother?! ”
”I am,”
