Chapter 618 - Six Hundred And Eighteen : Scared Of What Isabella Would Do To Him (2/2)

Pedro's jaw clenched tightly but beneath that anger, there was fear. He was not afraid of how pissed up Isabella would be at him. Isabella could hit and slap him, he wouldn't care. Rather, the disappointment in her eyes was what scared him the most. The pain of knowing that he failed her.

-Where do we meet? -

He texted her back immediately. This was a critical issue and he had to solve it before it escalated - before Isabella heard of it. He would not let anything destroy his happiness with Isabella.

A message came into his phone, and Pedro was just about to open it when the door to the bathroom was pushed open and he almost dropped the phone.

Thankfully, because the room was quite large and spacious, before Isabella could get to him, he had already picked the phone and organized himself.

”What?” Pedro asked when she stopped in his direction.

”What?” She asked back.

”Why are you staring at me that way?” Did she sense anything wrong? He pondered. Afterall Isabella was smart anyway.

He forgot Isabella was lenient when it comes to him.

”You look flustered,” She noticed, staring at him with her ever observant eyes.

Pedro gulped, what does she sense?

His breathing became erratic with every step Isabella took towards him, he could hear his heart pounding in his chest. He might as well die of a heart attack before she uncovers his secret.

Isabella took more steps towards Pedro and until her feet could touch the bedside, she leaned down towards him. His breath hitched and she guessed it was from excitement, she liked that - if only she knew.

Then she smirked, ”What dirty thoughts did you have of me while I was in the bathroom,” her smirk widened.

Pedro let out the breath he didn't know he had been holding. Isabella had mistaken his anxiety for excitement. And he takes back his word, he was scared of what Isabella would do to him when she finds out the truth.

”Relax,” Isabella patted him on the chest with a knowing grin, ”Why are you so tense? I'm just pulling your legs,” she stood up and in the process, took off her robe.

Isabella shamelessly and nakedly went into their walk-in closet and put on her clothes while humming a tune. She knew she was a huge tease and enjoyed seeing the blush on his face.

Meanwhile, Pedro took that opportunity to delete the messages on his phone, making sure he left no traces as he was afraid that Isabella might stumble into it - The both of them were open and transparent with their phones.

Pedro was determined to take care of everything and the both of them would continue the way they are, this time, they would be happily married. He knew this was a ploy to disrupt his marriage by his many enemies and he would not let them succeed. In this life and the next to come, Isabella would be his wife and his only wife.

”How do I look?” Isabella came to stand before him in a bright blue long-sleeve blouse tucked in belted relaxed-fit black cropped trousers and completed with snake-skin printed pumps. Her hair stumbled over her shoulder in waves and she didn't have to work hard to look beautiful, her confidence covered it all.

”You're beautiful,” Pedro muttered.

Absolutely beautiful.
