Chapter 623 - Six Hundred And Twenty-Three: An Appointment With Us (2/2)

”Oh,” Anabelle giggled sheepishly, finally realizing she had not observed her morning ritual.

Alex only shook his head and gave her the privacy she needed. Although he smiled on his way down, hoping to God that the couples lasted.

Something must be wrong with her, Anabelle wondered as she kept giggling and talking to herself in the bathroom.

She was just so happy. She and Julie hadn't had much time lately to spend time with each other, hence this was good news to her. Anabelle already had plans of what they would do together.

When she was done, Alex was there to take her back home. Anabelle didn't even have breakfast as she was just happy and couldn't wait for the sun to go down so the show could begin and she would dazzle Julie on the runway.

However, reality dawned on Anabelle as soon as she got home. She had slept over at Julie's place and her father was still somewhat strict about the both of them. Eden wouldn't do anything to her but the look in his eyes was something she would like to avoid. Her father was still not used to the fact that her baby girl - Anabelle - was no longer his alone.

So Anabelle shooed all the servants away and planned to tiptoe out of the foyer when Camille came into view saying, ”The way you're sneaking in, one would think that you're a burglar instead of entering your father's house,”

Anabelle groaned, she was caught.

Camille had a bowl in her grip and she told Anabelle, ”Come to the dining and have breakfast,”

”I'm not hungry...”

Anabelle was still saying when she met Camille's expression and gulped.

She paraphrased at once, ”Yes mom,” hightailing it to the dining room.

Camille was frightening at times. She should have been a major general in the military because her gaze alone was enough to make a man pee in his pants. Anabelle suddenly feared for her father, Eden.

Anabelle felt her father's stare on her as soon as she made it to the dining. She wanted to cringe, she might currently be independent but inwardly Anabelle was still daddy's girl - She was still not used to sleeping with her boyfriend behind daddy's back.

”Goodmorning father,” She greeted him, refusing to meet his gaze. It was embarrassing.

”You were not home last night, ” Eden said, then gulped down his water.

”Yes, I had to see Julie. The nature of my work makes it incredibly hard for us to meet so I made an appointment yesternight,” she summoned all her courage to say that.

”Hmmm, an appointment?” Eden hummed.

”Yes,” Anabelle said, picking on her food.

Camille didn't say anything, letting father and daughter continue with their awkward conversation.

”So, when is Julie planning on having an appointment with us?” Eden inquired.

”What?” Anabelle didn't understand him.

Eden frowned at her, ”Aren't you both planning on getting married?”
