Chapter 536 - Five Hundred And Thirty-seven : Lincolnshire To Rock (2/2)

Everyone's head whipped around when Niklaus returned with the poker-faced George. One by one, they waited for the final judgment, their heart thudding against their chest. To make it worse, Niklaus didn't have the best of expression heightening the tension, until they heard.

”I'm sorry,” Niklaus said and their faces fell at once. Bitter tears stung Isabella's eyes, how could he? After everything? She was so close to bursting out of the place in anger when Niklaus completed,

”The Engagement has been canceled!”

”What?!”

They were dumbfounded before it dawned on them that the bastard had been pulling their legs.

The twins were the first to shout, ”Yeah!” triumphant shouts rippling from their throats and resonating across the living room before the others joined in.

Isabella was the most affected amongst them. That announcement from Niklaus earlier had crushed her from inside out, only to be told it was a joke played on her by her father. It was like suffering a bad whiplash only to realize in the end that it was simply a game simulation.

Yeah, she was hit that hard and needed a booster. So the girl turned in the direction of Pedro with determined strides, hooked her arms around his neck,and took his lips in a kiss before the boy even knew what was going on.

Niklaus' eyes widened, that little bug! What about their agreement earlier. Then it dawned on him that this was his punishment for pulling her leg. Niklaus couldn't help but frown, does this mean she would go and get pregnant if he teases her worse than this.

But then, even if Niklaus wanted to something, he couldn't with the way the women in the rooms were fawning over the kid's public display of affection. Women!

”Grandfather,” Julie went over to his old man, unsure how to start a conversation. However, when he saw the smile on the man's face, he ran into his arm and engulfed him in a hug.

”Thank you,” He said even though he didn't know what brought on the change of heart. Anyway, he was grateful, that's all.

A trace of sorrow crossed George's features but he didn't show it. He was going to miss his grandson but knowing he would be in safe hands comforted him.

”So, are you coming back home or not?” Eden asked his daughter, Anabelle still keeping a distance from him.

Without a second thought, Anabelle threw herself on him and hugged him tightly ”I missed you, papa,”

”I missed you too, pumpkin,” Eden hugged her back, pecking her forehead.

And just like that, the runaways reunited with their family.

”Wait, we can't just leave like this!” Isabella announced to her friends due to leave with their family.

”Leave?” Reina snorted, ”We all got Lincolnshire to rock, baby,”
