Chapter 607 - Six Hundred And Seven: Goddess Of War (1/2)

Thanks for the golden ticket ????

The third point of view:

Rita was asking for trouble, Pedro could sense that and if anything, Isabella was in love with trouble. Hence, he had to step in before things got messy.

”I don't think that's -”

”Sure,” Isabella responded to the request, ”I'll help out with the serving,”

Pedro turned to her, ”You're a guest here, it's not your responsibility to do that,” He said that but in reality, he was begging her to stay still.

”Why are you so worked up, babe,” She came to him and pecked him on the lips, ”Relax, nothing is going to happen,” She smiled at him.

”Isabella,” He was still not satisfied. He didn't know what Isabella would do nor did he want to know. Moreover, he brought her here to acquaint her with his extended family, not to make war with them. If anything, Isabella was not an advocate for peace, she was a goddess of war - the general at the war front..

Pedro knew his family was not easy but that was his responsibility, he didn't need her to fight his battles - it's his obligation as a man.

”I'm the daughter-in-law, are you going to stop me from fulfilling my role now?” she was sneaky with her words.

”Yes, Pedro,” Lucinda supported her, ”It might seem like a lowly gesture but it would foster affection between us. Moreover, she would feel welcomed as one,” She patted him on the back, ”Never stop a woman's love for the kitchen,”

”I don't love the kitchen,” Isabella said once again, creating an awkward ambiance without even trying hard.

”Oh,” Lucinda was stunned and confused. Her daughter-in-law was kind of weird.

”It's kind of a sexist cliché to claim all women love cooking. I don't and I believe there are people like me out there who don't as well. But then, I only do that because of him,”

No one needed to be told twice that the ”him” was Pedro.

”Hence, don't pull that deeply old-fashioned and sexist gender norm on me,” surprisingly, she added, ”Please,”

This time, none of them were surprised by the silence, their new daughter-in-law has given them more than they could chew.

”Sure,” Lubinda gestured, ”Do whatever you want,” She was honestly tired. Her heart felt for Pedro, he got a handful.

”Sure, come along,” Rita was happy that her wish was granted, she strutted away as Isabella followed along at a slow pace.

Isabella didn't say a word until they got to the kitchen and saw Rita dishing out the warm food.

She smiled at her but Isabella knew better than to trust the razor-sharp fangs of a shark.

”So I heard that you and Pedro have been dating for a long time,” the woman said as a worker stepped in to help out with the serving.
