Chapter 716 - Seven Hundred And Sixteen: Feel The Heat Of Her Anger (1/2)

The third point of view:

”Sorry, Dad, mom, can we have this dinner another time?” Anabelle said to her stunned parents after she came back from her little break.

”S-sure sweetheart,” Eden was flustered. They didn't resolve their quarrel?

”But then, are you planning on going somewhere?” Camille asked, noticing her gaze on the door.

Although Anabelle had her apartment somewhere else, she preferred staying back home with her parents or with Julie since she disliked staying alone unless she's on the job.

Camille thought she was trying to see Julie out but her fiancé was not by her side....oh, here he comes.

Julie wore an indifferent mask and the parents confirmed their theory, the kids haven't reconciled yet. Why were they fighting though? It was a mystery and it was even more puzzling since Anabelle was the peaceful one. What in the name of God was going on between them?

”I need to spend a night with Isabella. She's all alone in the hospital and would need company,” Anabelle said.

”Oh, that's right,” Eden finally remembered that, ”Tell her that I'm sorry I haven't visited but I would surely make it up to her,”

”Sure,” Anabelle smiled in understanding.

”Me too,” Camille added, ”She should come over for dinner at our place. We are not strangers but family, you know, she should stop keeping her distance,”

”Isabella just has so many things on her hands,” Anabelle was quick to defend her.

Camille shook her head in pity, what does Anabelle see in that cousin of hers. She bet that little brat doesn't even know of the undying royalty her daughter has for her.

” Fine, whatever you say,” Camille gave in and then looked at Julie, ”You'd be driving her there, right?”

”W-what?” Julie did not expect the question.

”Mom, you don't have to -”

”Of course, I'm driving her,” Julie interrupted Anabelle before she could ruin his chances of spending more time with her and probably, in the long run, figure out why she's mad at him.

Anabelle turned to him, ”I don't need you to -”

”You don't want your fiancé to drive you to the hospital? Why? Do you have someone else reserved to drive you there,” Julie said, earning her heated glare. If there was anything he learned about Anabelle, getting her flustered was the best way to draw the truth from her mouth.

”No,” Anabelle gave him a fake smile having figured out what he was trying to do, ”I just want to drive on my own. Moreover, I shouldn't bother my busy fiancé, or don't you have heads to blow off tonight?”

At that statement, Eden's grip on his spoon tightened. He loved his daughter so much that he shielded her from the dirty deeds of the Spencers in the dark and gave her the good life she deserved. Unfortunately, Julie was a Mafia boss and he had secretly agreed with him to keep his daughter out of the violent part of his business. Anabelle must preserve that innocent side of her and no harm must come to her.

That was the condition he gave Julie to marry his daughter. Hence, seeing Anabelle make a nonchalant joke about his work didn't exactly sit right with him.
