Chapter 338 - Three Hundred And Thirty-nine: Bring The Old People Together (1/2)

The third point of view :

Contrary to Reina's expectation, Nadia and Sakuzi didn't even say a word to each other. The workaholic woman was as usual busy with some stuff on her laptop while Sakuzi was helping Neon set his new toy.

Though the man was one of the busiest mafias in the world, he had taken everything off his schedule for the week just so he could chill with his grandchildren; he trusted Emerald and his sons could handle the business well.

Allen and Ailee stared at each other, they were puzzled by this kind of atmosphere. What's with these old couples? How were they going to get rid of this tension that was even choking them?

A bright thought came into Allen's head, ”I have an idea,” He told his sister.

”What is it?” Ailee was eager to hear her brother's wonderful plan of getting their grandparents together.

”We need sister's help,”

”What?” Allen almost shouted, yet lowered her voice on time so as not to attract their grandparent's attention, this was supposed to be a secret mission.

”Are you crazy? Sister would kill you or have you forgotten what we did to her?” Ailee talked sense into him.

”That's in the past plus she's our sister,” He said but the girl gave him an unbelieving look with her arms folded.

”Fine,” He sighed, ”We'll propose a truce,”

”It's okay by me as far as you're the one leading,” Ailee shrugged. She would not be the first one to receive their sister's wrath.

Allen saw through his sister's plan yet didn't say anything. Well, he was the first son and he had to carry on a lot of responsibility in the future - he'd start his training at this young age.

So with everyone distracted, both kids slipped and headed to the room of their sister who finally returned home not too long ago.

Isabella was lying on her bed with an anxious expression as she stared at her phone. Pedro had promised to call her right after he got home, but so far there was nothing. She then decided to call him and yet there was no answer, it couldn't be that he was avoiding her?

But then, why would he avoid her? He looked alright when they were returning and not as uptight as when he woke up and realizing what they did.

Could it be he used her? That thought didn't sit well with Isabella. She knew it was stupid to think that but she couldn't help it. She just gave Pedro her body and bared her soul to him - something she has never done - he'd be dead meat if he tried anything funny with her.

With that thought in her head, she was contemplating her next course of action when a knock sounded on her door. A tired sigh left her lips and Isabella swiped something on her phone before shouting, ”Come in!”

The door was opened but surprisingly, both kids looked left and right carefully and saw that the robot was disabled, walking in with caution.

A week before the wedding when Isabelle couldn't take their ”bullying” aka ”pranks” anymore, she purchased a robot that shoots a laser from its eyes upon one intruding into her room.

The robot makes use of thermal heat to detect human movements hence prepares to attack unless Isabella disables it with the password or voice command specifically modified for her alone; the laser was set at a healthy temperature - unable to cause severe injury or pain - but which can also be modified. It kinda feels like someone pinching you or something level of pain.

Thanks to that, the pranks ended instantly as the kids feared her robot greatly - but that doesn't mean they have given up since they were working on a counterattack for the robot.

”Hi our wonderful sister,” both said in chorus and a sweet tone that would have left any other people in aing nor cold either. Isabella loved them, but she was not in the mood for their jokes, she had things to think about.

”Why are you so taut sister? We didn't even do anything wrong?” Ailee attempted to use her charm all to no avail.

”Five minutes,” Isabella gave them a time limit. She knew they needed her help, she could see it in their eyes; that puppy dog face doesn't work on her.

”Alright,” Allen decided to come clean, ”You got us there. We indeed need your help and it's related to the future and progress of this great family,” He exaggerated.

Isabella's brows raised,” Not interested,” a mission this overstated couldn't be something good.

”Idiot,” Ailee facepalmed. She then faced Isabella, ”Mom wants us to get grandpa and ma together,” she added,

”There's a reward for that,”

At the mention of reward, a smile etched on Isabella's once taut face, if she could help out and get a reward, that would be good. She'd convert her reward to a wish, hehe.
