Chapter 686 - Six Hundred And Eighty-Six: The Heart Wants What It Wants (2/2)

It was hard for Isabella to trust somebody, but Pedro? She gave him all of her - her body, soul, and trust. If there was anybody that she thought would never betray her, it was him. But of course, in the end, he proved the fact that humans can never be trusted.

When Jean confirmed the news, it had seemed as if Pedro himself reached out and pulled her heart out of her chest, crushing her it into pieces. It had felt almost impossible to breathe, blank dots filled her vision and the next she knew, she lost consciousness and woke up here.

Thankfully, Isabella had regained her consciousness on time and solved some issues before Reina arrived else the doctor might slip her secret without her permission.

”Oh honey,” Reina cooed, ”It is perfectly normal to have some lingering doubts before a wedding,” She took her hand and led her back to the edge of the bed where they both sat down on it.

”And please,” Reina corrected the impression, ”My marriage is not perfect and as a matter of fact, no marriage is perfect,”

At that comment Isabella's brows raised, it seemed like Reina was pulling her leg right now.

Reina sighed, for someone who claims to be smart, she's quite dumb in the relationship aspect of it.

”Isabella, a great relationship is about accepting similarities and working on differences. And the cold feet part? I was a wreck as well when I finally decided to marry your father,” Reina confessed, however, Isabella disagreed with that.

”You were smiling on that day,” Isabella reminded her. After all, she had been a part of her bridesmaids - and did she forget to add she became her legal daughter as well - hence she knew what happened that day.

Reina was not flustered, she smiled instead, ”Because I was happy. Sure, I had my doubts about the success of my marriage - the butterflies were messing with my bully and all - but at that moment, I was sure of what I wanted and God, that was your father,”

Unknown to them all, Niklaus who was eavesdropping on their conversation from the outside was grinning from ear to ear. He rubbed his jaw proudly, indeed, he was husband material.

”You know the funny part?” Reina was still speaking to her daughter, ”Your father is no husband material,”

At once, Niklaus's jaw dropped to the ground. He glared at the door, still not believing what he just heard from his own wife.

Reina, oblivious to her husband's presence, was sincere with Isabella and began to list down her father's faults, ”Your father is too possessive; he has a great anger; he's too stubborn and not to mention his past. I had to think about that a lot,” she added immediately, ”And did I forget to add, he's too horny,”

Niklaus sighed. That was an instant knockout. Perhaps, this was why one should never eavesdrop on a conversation between mother and daughter. Sigh, his great reputation. He would never unhear this conversation again.

”But at the end,” Reina said to her, ”The heart wants what it wants, Isabella. I don't know what's going on with you, my child, but you have to listen to your instinct this time, ” she pointed to her heart.

”If Pedro is really the man that makes you happy, then you have no reason to doubt what you both have. Not many people could be in a relationship for this long and survive. What the both of you have is a miracle,”
