Chapter 404 - Three Hundred And Four: Who Was That Woman? (1/2)

The third point of view:

”Are you sure Mom's eyes are okay?” Allen asked as he stared at the boy seated on the couch.

They all were peering from the entrance at the little stranger staring into space.

”Why would you say so?” Ailee whispered.

”This boy isn't close to the word called handsome,”

”What are you trying to say?” Neon was confused

”Only handsome faces can be added to this family and my appearance is used for the judging criteria,” Allen gestured to his face, smugly.

”Ugh,” Isabella and Ailee snorted. Narcissistic much?

But then Neon had his own point of view, ”Aww, Allen,” He fawned, ”Are you trying to say I'm handsome too since I was added to this family?” he asked with high hope which was quickly dashed into pieces.

”You? You're just a buy one, get one bonus,” He added crudely.

”Allen!” Ailee cautioned him. But she must have been so loud because the boy turned in their direction and they all hid instinctively.

”Why are we even hiding?” Isabella rephrased her question, ”No, why am I hiding with you guys? This is so lame,”

”Yeah, it's pathetic, almighty big sister,” Allen said sarcastically.

Isabella glared at him yet composed herself when it abruptly dawned on her that the boy wasn't her brother. She had heard Reina went to visit Angela and if she could remember right, she had a sister called Kim. She quickly put two and two together, this must be her son.

Although it didn't make sense that Reina would send her much-hated sister Kim, her kid here, yet it made much more sense than the thought of her adopting one. With Niklaus' stamina, they should be procreating more children, not fostering one.

However, Isabella wasn't going to tell that to her siblings. Yes, you guessed right, she would watch them make a fool of themselves, which is why she said,

”Anyway, I'm going back to my room. Tell me later what you found out,” she announced, taking her leave. Now she would be able to chat with Pedro in peace without their annoying disturbances.

”We should go introduce ourselves,” Neon suggested.

”No, we -”

But Neon had already come out of his hiding place and they had no alternative but to follow suit.

”Hi!” All three of them waved to the boy who stared at them like they were from the planet of apes. However, before they could try a friendlier approach, Allen had begun to bombard the child with questions.

”Hey, little ugly one, what's your name? How did you know my mother? Why did she send you here? Who are your parents? Are you the latest addition to our family?”

However, before they knew what was going on, Tommy's lips began to tremble, he bawled uncontrollably.

”Wonderful Allen, you've done it again,” His sister blamed him.

”What did I do wrong? All I did was ask him questions, how is it my fault that he's a crybaby?” he shrugged.

At the mention of ”Crybaby,” Tommy increased the volume to his wail.

”Allen, you have to do something before Amanda gets here and reports to mommy that we made her new son cry!”

”What do you expect me to do?!”

”Undo what you did!”

”Fine!” he yelled at his sister and faced the boy, putting on what he believed was his best kind smile, ”Hey kiddo, stop crying already, alright?”

But that move seemed to mess the whole thing up, Tommy sobbed harder, driving Allen crazy.

”This is it, I'm done with him!” He gave up, plonking down on the nearest couch in surrender.

Ailee and Neon stared at the boy, crying, ”Mommy,” and their heart broke.

”Oww, he's missing our mother already,” Ailee had her hand on her face, moved by the scene.

”We have to make him happy,” Neon said
