Chapter 506 - Five Hundred And Six : She Was Not Daddys Girl (2/2)
There he was, standing outside the building with a cool demeanor and looking as handsome as usual. His hands were in the pocket of his blazer as the cool night air tousled his hair like an actor advertising a hair product.
”So much for being safe,” Julie pointed out Isabella's fault in claiming this was a safe place from their parents. Now they've been discovered. If Niklaus was here, the others couldn't be far away.
”Anabelle,” Niklaus breathed, as if testing her name on his lips, ”You won't mind having tea with me afterward, you seem to have a lot to want to tell me,”
Isabella facepalmed, here goes her independent life. STRAIGHT INTO THE DRAIN!
Anabelle gulped, had she said something bad by chance? She couldn't remember what she had been saying - not with the intense look from uncle Niklaus daring her to say contrary to her words.
”Y-yes,” She agreed without a second thought. Although he wouldn't hurt her, Anabelle knew how scary Niklaus could get.
Then he turned to his daughter, ”What's with that look?” He pointed to her hair, ”Are you trying to look albino or something?”
Julie snickered at the side.
Isabella's face hardened. What had she been expecting, that her father would understand her fashion taste?
”Aside from that,” Niklaus went on, ”Aren't you going to greet your father you haven't seen in days?”
”Two days to be precise,” she corrected him sternly.
”So?” he cocked a brow at her.
”Aren't you going to hug your father? A-hem,” Julie hid his comment that was meant to be sarcastic with a cough.
Isabella winced inside, her tough girl image was about to be crumpled. No, She was not daddy's girl.
”Isabella,” Niklaus pressed. It was an order.
Reluctantly, Isabella made her way over to Niklaus who had his arms open wide as if compelling her to come to daddy.
God, this was the most embarrassing day of her life.
The instant she hugged him, Isabella could feel Julie's mocking laughter echoing loud in her ears. She was going to kill that asshole once she was released from this prison. Niklaus hugged her tight, he almost crushed her.
Meanwhile, unknown to Isabella, her father Niklaus was having a staring contest with Pedro. The old man held Pedro's gaze as if saying, ”At the end of the day, she is still my baby girl. Know your place,”
Of course, Isabella was unaware of this.
”That's enough,” She pulled away forcibly. In reality, the hug had lasted for barely a minute but to Isabella, it had seemed like an hour.
”How did you find us?” Isabella went straight to business. Although she had a feeling he would find them, she still wanted to know how - so she could hide better next time.
”I knew you would attempt this stunt one day so I simply had a tracking chip implanted in your molars during your dental appointment,”
”What?!”
