Chapter 377 - Three Hundred And Seventy-seven: Friends, Are We? (2/2)

”Start over as what?”

”Friends,”

Isabella chuckled mockingly when she heard that, her hand went to her mouth stifling the laughter, ”I'm sorry but I don't become friends with people who almost stole my boyfriend. I don't trust you,”

”Neither do I trust you either,” She said to Isabella's surprise.

”What?”

”You look like the type who would kill one for just looking his way,” She gestured to Pedro with a dip of her head.

”But then,” Olivia went on, ”That's what would make us great friends, we know the limitations and lines each of us shouldn't cross, what did you say then?”

Isabella was in deep thought, what Olivia says does make sense, but then, she wasn't big on making friends. It seems Pedro must have sensed her intention because the moment she tried to open her mouth to tell the girl she wasn't interested in friendship - she was better off without her - Pedro tugged her hand and looked at her with those big puppy eyes.

”Ugh,” She groaned, running her hand through her hair, ”I hate you, do you know that?”

Pedro grinned at her, ”I know,” yet she leaned down to kiss him on the lips as Olivia turned the other way scratching the back of her head, this was awkward.

”I'll leave you so you could have some rest,” Isabella patted him on the chest, he nodded and she rose to her feet.

”What?” Olivia asked with the kind of look she was giving her.

”Lead the way, do you think I'm about to leave you with my boyfriend,” Isabella told her straight-faced.

Olivia rolled her eyes, mumbling under her breath, ”So much for trusting her,” Fine she couldn't blame her anyway, she had tried to snatch her boyfriend once. However, no matter how insane she was, she would not force herself on a guy head over heels in love with another girl - she had thought Pedro had been bluffing then to avoid her.

”So, what do you want me to get for you as the first sign of our friendship?” Isabella asked the girl as soon as they were out.

Olivia looked at Isabella as if she was an alien, ”Get me something? As in a gift? Why would you buy me a gift?”

”Don't friends buy each other stuff?” Isabella asked, perplexed.

”Of course, they do but that shouldn't be the first step in their relationship….” Olivia paused, realizing something. She turned to Isabella questioningly, ”Have you had friends before?”

”Of course,” Isabella proudly announced.

”Who?”

”My cousin, Anabelle, and Pedro,”

”No, I mean, aside from family members,”

This time, the proud look was gone from Isabella's face, now relaxed by a nervous one, ”No?”

Olivia burst into laughter, ”You can't be serious!”

”Are you done?” Isabella's expression changed. What was so funny about her not having friends? Not that one of the so-called friends dared to approach her anyway. The few who bravely tried lasted just a few hours after she sorted out their intention in being friends with her, they had run off with their tails between their legs afterward.

”Don't worry,” Olivia wrapped her arm around her shoulder, ”I'll educate you adequately,” She began to lead her away until they came into the foyer to see a slight commotion.

”Did someone come?” Olivia pulled away from Isabella, going to investigate the reason for the sudden crowd.

”Who's that woman?” Isabella pointed at the unfamiliar lady.

”Who?” Olivia inched her head to get a look, but her face changed afterward when she caught a glimpse of the woman.

”Who's that?” Isabella asked her after the change in her expression.

”My mother,”
