Chapter 720 - Seven Hundred And Twenty: Draw Isabella Out (2/2)

”Why are you doing this to me?”

”Oh,” Anabelle got it. Pedro was seeing her as Isabella. How was he so enchanted with Isabella? Also, he's never drinking - at least, not with her around.

”I'm sorry! I didn't mean it! I never wanted to sleep with her! Can't you see how sorry I am already?!” He wailed.

Before Anabelle could even respond, Pedro drew her into a hug. It was really awkward because she was in a weird position and it was straining on her back.

”Hey, Pedro!” Anabelle tried to wriggle out of his embrace but he only tightened his grip around her.

”Why can't you forgive me? What should I do to make you see how sorry I am? Do you think it was easy hiding the truth from you? Each time you smiled at me only to remember what I'm hiding from you, I died inside. It was so suffocating, I couldn't breathe, Isabella! But then, what do you want me to do? I just didn't want you to get hurt,” Pedro rested his hand on her shoulder and began to cry.

Anabelle was prepared to push him away but when his tears fell on her shoulder, her heart broke right away. Anabelle wore her heart on a sleeve hence it wasn't hard for tears to course down her cheeks.

”Isabella, how could you be so cold-hearted! Even I could feel his sincerity from here, not to talk of you. Aren't you supposed to be the one who knows him best?!” Anabelle shouted at the door while still in Pedro's embrace. The door wasn't soundproof and she knew Isabella could hear them and perhaps, has been following their conversation all along.

But then, just as she expected, there was no response from Isabella. Anabelle snorted, just as she expected, she was the legendary cold witch.

”I get you're angry but talk to him for fuck same. If you don't want him anymore, then you let you go after telling him the secret you're keeping from him or I'll help you do the work,” Anabelle threatened her but of course, Isabella didn't respond. She knew she was bluffing.

The scene of Pedro hugging Anabelle was what Julie saw and his jaw ticked as he strode over to them. While Isabella was extremely possessive of Pedro, Julie was extremely possessive of Anabelle.

He ripped Anabelle from him with a great force that shoved Pedro back to the ground.

”Did he do anything to you?” Julie checked her carefully, concern written all over his face.

”You didn't have to push him that roughly!” Anabelle complained and was just about to help the figure she thought was on the floor when Pedro threw himself on Julie.

”Isabella!” Pedro cupped Julie's face, ”Why can't you forgive me?”

”Hey! Hey! Let go!” Julie found him as annoying as a bug however the persistent fly aka Pedro (in Julie's thought) held onto his face.

”What do you want me to do for you to forgive me? Should I rip out my heart and serve it to you in a platter?”

”Sure, do that. I'm sure Isabella would appreciate it,” Julie retorted emotionlessly.

”Hey!” how could he say that? Anabelle was just about to scold her Fiance when she saw him wink at her and she understood his intentions immediately.

He was trying to draw Isabella out.
