Chapter 571 - Five Hundred And Seventy-one: The New Rules (1/2)
The third point of view:
”Isabella!!!” The door was kicked open and someone screamed from behind, almost waking the dead from the grave.
Isabella didn't have time to react as Anabelle tackled her, the both of them falling to the ground. It all happened in slow motion, all Isabella knew was that for her to turn around, Anabelle flew on her, and now, she was on the floor.
What was Isabella doing here anyway?
Well, she had left her parent's sleeping quarters to go observe her nightly ritual, leaving her siblings who were still gushing over their unborn siblings - rubbing their hands all over Reina's slightly flat stomach, placing their head on her stomach, and trying to make up the babies heartbeat, which was kind of stupid.
The kids claimed they would be the ones to name the triplets once they're born. Allen would name first, followed by Ailee, and last but not the least, Neon named his choice as well. Hence, all of them were excited to begin their research.
She - Isabella - doesn't even get to name any of the kids. Well, it doesn't matter anyway, from now to the moment Reina delivers, she has to go prepare her affection. It was three babies, they would require a lot of time and devotion.
”What are you doing, Anabelle!” She tried to push the girl away but that annoying octopus held on to her tight and began to shower her face with kisses.
”Muah! Muah! Muah!” Anabelle could not contain her happiness. She could almost fly! ”I'm so happy!”
”I am not your fucking boyfriend! Stop kissing me!” Isabella growled, wondering where she got this amount of strength - no matter how she pushed Anabelle, she was too strong.
Suddenly, Anabelle stopped and then announced, ”My mother is pregnant!” expecting to see a look of astonishment and joy across her cousin's face. However, all she met was Isabella's face, void of emotion.
”Of course, I know, so can you please get off me?” Isabella tried to sit up but Anabelle pushed her back down.
Isabella shut her eyes and tried to rein in her anger. Anabelle is her cousin and a friend notwithstanding she's annoying, Isabelle chanted inwardly so she doesn't harm her.
”How did you know?” She said it! Isabella was an alien!
”Our parents called us at the same time only to break the news of her pregnancy. Who wouldn't put two and two together and figure out that was the same case with your parents?” Isabella explained.
”Wait a minute, aunty Reina is pregnant?!” Annabelle screamed. Isabella's ear almost bled.
Of course, Anabelle had not been able to figure it out, Isabella shook her head in sympathy - not that she had high hopes, anyway.
”Wow!” Anabelle's joy knew no bounds, ”This good news! We are expecting our siblings at the same time?!”
”Actually, it's more than one sibling, Reina is having triplets,” Isabella disclosed, rambling on, ”Speaking of which, I have to add your future sibling to my list - so tiring, too many people to love. Now get off me!” She tried to push her away but of course, Anabelle stood her ground.
”Oh my gosh!” She was so thrilled, ”Your mother is expecting triplets! Isabella, you're going to become a super big sister! God, I'm so envious! You deserve my respect! Muah! Muah! Muah!” Anabelle continued to pepper her with kisses amid Isabella's exclamation of disgust and struggles until...
”What's going on here?” someone asked from behind and both ladies on the floor instantly stiffened. It then dawned on Anabelle that she hadn't closed the door before deciding to kill Isabella with affection.
Her eyes went wild like a thief caught in the process of theft while her heart thundered in her chest when she recognized that voice, it was none other than Julie, her boyfriend.
At once, Anabelle let go of Isabella, the both of them sat up and stared at their boyfriends standing in their room, staring back at them with suspicion and accusation in their gazes.
”We seem to have barged in at the wrong time,” Pedro said, still not believing what he just saw. All he knew when he came in was Anabelle on top of his girlfriend, kissing her - from his position.
”It's nothing,” Isabella was quick to defend herself.
”I can explain,” Anabelle said.
”Yes, the scene is obviously self-explanatory,” Julie sassed.
”It's not what you're thinking,” Isabella grumbled, irritated. This was all Anabelle's fault, she dragged her into this unnecessary misunderstanding.
”Really? What am I thinking?” Pedro raised a dark brow at her.
”Eww, that's disgusting,” Isabella wrinkled her face, getting up to her feet, ”You can't possibly think I like Anabelle?”
”Well, you can't color me shocked since a man married a doll in the news. Your affection for Anabelle is on par with your affection for me, I shouldn't be surprised if you're having an affair with your cousin,” Pedro said.
Isabella glared at him, unable to speak anymore. Why were men so difficult and narrow-minded!
”Hey!” Anabelle stood to her full length. Unlike Isabella, she was ready to explain everything to the end, ”What you saw is a misunderstanding. I was simply expressing my love, I mean, affection for Isabella,” She replaced the word 'love' realizing the situation was a bit tricky.
”Moreover,” she added, puffing out her chest, ”Compared to you guys, girls are more expressive with their feelings. Hence, you shouldn't be that shocked to see us hugging and showering each other with fondness,”
