Chapter 347 - Three Hundred And Forty-eight: Goodbye, Angela (1/2)

The third point of view: winning the ex-wife back.

”Nadia,” the woman turned the other way when she heard Sakuzi's voice. She knew he was here to try to deceive him with his sugar-coated words. Humph! She had fallen for it the first time she was young and stupid, not this time around.

”What do you want?” She asked with a not so welcomed tone, arms crossed.

”I need you to come with me somewhere, please?” Sakuzi requested of her, stepping closer. The woman was in the garden and the cool afternoon air ruffled her hair while the flowers permeated the environment with their pleasant scent.

”Where? An exotic restaurant?” She sighed,” I'm already used to your trick, Sakuzi. Nothing more would surprise me,” Nadia claimed.

”It is not a date, I just want you to come with me to see someone,” He said without going into much detail.

”See someone? Who?” she asked with curiosity when her eyes suddenly widened as she figured out, ”No way in hell. I am never going there. Knock yourself out,” she turned her back to him.

”Could you please for once lay aside your goddamned pride - this is what I'm talking about. I'm trying to prove to you that any other feeling I have for her is gone and the fact I'm just helping out is because she's an old acquaintance. Nadia, just give me a chance!” he yelled, chest heaving from the effort.

Nadia didn't reply but inwardly, she was contemplating a lot of things in her head which Sakuzi mistook as refusal.

”Fine, I won't go,” Sakuzi told her, ”But thanks for pushing me away like you always do,” He summarized and turned to leave when she yelled out

”Stop right there!” Nadia stomped over to him in anger, ”So because of this little tantrum, you've given up?” she hit him on the chest, ”What kind of man are you? Are you even a man? What kind of man doesn't know women mean the opposite of what they want -”

Sakuzi pulled her into a hug which silenced every form of protest from her.

”Yaa...!” Isabella's glare cut off Neon's celebration. They were hiding behind a thicket of shrubs watching the whole drama and Neon almost blew their cover.

Since their mother gave them the mission to bring the old people together, they had to provide enough evidence to guarantee they had accomplished the task and also to tie Reina to her promises.

”We should go,” Sakuzi took her hand and intertwined their fingers together which made Nadia blush, she looked the other way.

Seriously, she was too old for this. But then it crossed her mind, ”What about the kids? Reina wanted us to keep a close eye on them?”

”Don't worry,” Sakuzi assured her, ”We wouldn't be gone for long. I'm sure they can do well without us for an hour,”

[A/N: Don't be so sure, old man. They burned the house in a matter of seconds. Who knows, they might bomb the city in a matter of an hour?]

”Are you sure?” She still had reservations about this since she had heard the kids were a wild bunch.

”Don't worry, nothing's going to happen. You worry too much,” At that moment, the flirt in Sakuzi came to life and he tucked the woman's hair behind her ears. Nadia blushed then hit him on the chest coyly as she said, ”Stop that,”

At that moment, Isabella wanted to puke at the lovey-dovey act. What's with these old people? If only she knew that was the same way people felt around her whenever she's with Pedro.

”Alright, let's leave,” Isabella issued the kids the sign to retreat and they slipped back as if they had never been there at all.

With no knowledge that their whole conversation has been recorded, Sakuzi and Nadia went back to the living room to see the kids had been obedient.

”Isabella,” Sakuzi called her out as the eldest and related to her his plans of leaving.

”Sure, you can leave them to me,” Isabella promised to take care of them. Thus, Sakuzi believed her and left with a gladdened heart.

”Freedom!” The kids screamed out in celebration. But that happiness was only for a moment because each one of them recalled that their mother had given them the mission of spying out anyone that misbehaves. So the once joyous atmosphere become gloomy to Isabella's surprise - she was the only one who had not been given the mission due to her absence
