Chapter 507 - Five Hundred And Seven: That Little Thing Never Sees The Limelight (2/2)
His gaze darkened, ”But trust me, Eden has eyes all over the city and who knows, I might lend him my strength as well. You guys can only run far enough before you're captured like rats in a cage trap,” He gave them the option to choose.
”So in one word,” Julie started, ”We can choose to go with you the greater evil who is kind of tamed right now or my future father-in-law who's on a mission to break up us...” he looked around, ”I'll go with option one,”
Julie walked over to Niklaus, ”Nice to meet you, Sir Niklaus, I'm Julie. I believe this is our first official meeting,”
But Niklaus gave him the look, ”You're the kid who got my daughter into an unofficial engagement and this mess. What makes you think I wouldn't bury you in a shallow grave right now?”
Julie awkwardly withdrew his hand. The man was scary but he bet he had more to him than he showed. Although Julie couldn't be too sure. With a crazy daughter Isabella, he wouldn't be surprised if Niklaus, her father, turned out worse.
”Sir, although we had a rocky start,” Julie draped his arms casually around Isabella's shoulder, pressing her closer to him, ”I believe Isabella and I have resolved our differences and we are the best of buddies right now,” Julie lied through his teeth. He and Isabella were like Fire and Ice.
But then, Julie never expected that he made a wrong move because Niklaus' gaze narrowed at his hand on his daughter's shoulder and roared,
”Get your paws off her right now!”
Before Julie could even obey his order, Niklaus had already grabbed his shirt, tugging him forward, and growled at his face, ”I don't know what your deal is by getting my daughter engaged to you and dating Anabelle at the same time but if you hurt either of them, I'll make sure...” his gaze traveled south, ”That little thing never sees the limelight,”
Although it was just a gaze - a scorching one at it - Julie had felt as if Niklaus had reached out and squeezed his balls tight to prove his threat. That single glance had been quite lethal. Perhaps, he had been too hasty in making decisions because right now it seemed as if Eden was a better in-law.
”Am I clearly understood?” Niklaus asked him, sternly.
Julie didn't find the voice to speak, he simply moped at Niklaus while nodding his head obediently. You should know he had never cowered under someone's gaze, not even his grandfather. Niklaus was a devil. His easy-going nature from earlier was simply a front to make people lower their guards only to be taken by surprise. The apple never falls far from the tree, Isabella was indeed his product.
Meanwhile, Isabella covered her face in shame while Pedro stifled his laughter by the side. Her father had not given up scaring little kids. What a big bully.
”Now get your ass up there and get your things before I change my mind,” Niklaus commanded and Julie went in without second thoughts followed by Anabelle who glared at her uncle for scaring her boyfriend. She huffed and strutted after him. The next was Pedro who simply lowered his head in greeting and left, leaving only Isabella.
For a moment, Father and daughter stared at each other, eyeball to eyeball, tension thickening between them as if World War Three was about to begin. However, both of them suddenly burst into laughter.
