Chapter 334 - Three Hundred And Thirty-five: Do You Trust Me? (1/2)

Reina's point of view :

”Mom, please,” I pleaded for the umpteenth time for Nadia to stay back. Gosh, this woman was so tough! Can't my cute face pierce through her hard armor? It works on Niklaus and Sakuzi though.

”Reina, I need to leave. I have lots of businesses to attend to,” was her excuse.

”Brothers are there to take over your role and you're such a workaholic that you need time to chill and relax - use this chance as a break,” I, Of course, didn't give up. Let's just say I've inherited Nik's shameless

bullheadedness.

”I heard your father would stay back, he'd take care of them,” she said.

”Are you kidding me?” I gave her a dirty look. Leaving my kids with my father was equivalent to adding another playmate to the kids. Father doted on them and would probably indulge them in whatever they want. ”You should know your husband better.”

”Ex-husband,” she corrected, sternly. I could sense some grudges.

”Fine, ex-husband or whatever, just help me out. I don't trust father with my kids,”

”Reina...” She breathed.

”Please... Pleseeeeeeeeeeeee,” I pouted and even batted my eyelids, ”It's just a week-long honeymoon. I'm sure you can survive that,”

”Fine,” She gave in, at last, pinching the bridge of her nose. Nadia knew what she got herself into and I'm grateful for that - makes the job easier.

”Thank you so much,” I grabbed her and pressed an enthusiastic kiss on her cheeks.

I needed to do something for my father; he didn't deserve to be alone. Angela, as usual, destroyed another person's home just to fulfill her selfish desires and I'm here to restore everything to where it was supposed to from the very first place.

I knew Nadia still had feelings for my father but the woman was authoritarian

and would never acknowledge that. While Sakuzi is too ignorant to admit that he needs her back in his life - I'm married now and can't visit him as usual. Done with my first mission, it was time to leave and I allowed the servants to take my luggage to the car.

”Hi handsome,” I said to Niklaus who just made his way downstairs. His luggage was being taken to the car too.

However, just as I was about to walk over to him, a voice rang from behind me, ”Good Morning handsome,”

What the…

I turned around only to see Ailee come into view and she walked over to Niklaus, monopolizing the first hug I wanted to give to him.

Niklaus was amused by the gesture, yet took the girl into his arms and hugged her back while laughing at the sour expression on my face. Why was I even jealous? He's my husband for goodness sake - it's not like the kids can snatch him, anyway.

”Good Morning my pretty mother,”

I was surprised to see Allen approach me gentlemanly. Okay, my sixth sense was tickling, I don't trust them. What were they up to now?

”What's the catch?” I refused to be deceived by this act of chivalry.

”You're leaving for your honeymoon and the best thing we can do as your kids is to send you off well,” Allen said with a warm smile.

”Okay?” Why do I feel like they were more than happy that Niklaus and I were leaving?

”And I hope you kids haven't forgotten you're grounded. I'll make sure Isabella keeps you in check - hopefully,”

At the mention of Isabella, Niklaus' gaze darkened and I quickly went over to him saying, ”It's high time we left already, right?”

Niklaus gave me a wry smile. He knew I was distracting him yet he didn't complain because he was shamelessly enjoying the benefit that came with it.

”Fine,” he winked at me.

I blushed, memories of last night flooding my head. This man!

”Alright mommy, you can leave now. We'd take care of grandma and pa,” Ailee winked at me.

I winked back. It was good to know our deal was still in place. By the way, why does it feel like I'm missing something....or someone?

”A-ha! Where's Neon?”

”I'm here!” The boy shouted, running over to me and almost out of breath.

”Aunty Reina,” He looked up to me, eyes dazzling with love and my heart broke. How could Jennifer not love such a cute kid? If only my kids were half as devoted as him.

”I'm going to miss you,” I pouted and tugged him into a hug. However, I tactically whispered into his ears, ”keep an eye on Allen and Ailee for me, a reward awaits you when I return”

He looked at me surprised yet didn't say anything. I'm sure he got the message already. I pulled away, pecking him on the cheeks before looking towards the others who were playing it cool - I knew they were jealous deep down.

”Are you coming or should I drag your butt over here?”
