Chapter 744 - Seven Hundred And Fourty-four: Who Has Her? (1/2)
The third point of view:
”So what do we do now?” Isabella asked Niklaus with her arms across her chest. It was a few minutes after the little disagreement in the family.
”First of all, I need to find Jennifer-”
”Right after you console aunt,” Anabelle interrupted him, not that she meant to be rude by the way, ”Your decision really hurt aunt Reina especially after she just discovered news of Jennifer's escape,”
Niklaus pressed his lips together saying in a stern voice, ”Allen needs to grow up. His selfishness is becoming unbearable and I can't let him turn out to be the kind of emotionless bastard my father, Adam, was. My wife would be angry but with time, she'd understand my reason for this. Moreover, it's not like Allen's living far away, she can pay a visit as far as she doesn't sneak my resources to him for the time being,”
At once Isabella's phone rang and when she saw it was Julie calling, a smirk crossed her features. Since he was calling, that means the mission was done.
”Hello,” she said with an expressionless tone.
”Come out,” it was one single command.
”Where?”
”You'd receive the coordinates,”
As soon as the call ended, Isabella announced, ”It seems I have to return early, father,”
”Where are you going?” Niklaus asked with a narrowed gaze. He noticed the call she made just now and knew she was up to something.
”Have you forgotten that my rehearsal dinner is tomorrow? I have to go prepare,” she said to him. If only Niklaus knew that the preparation she was talking about was taking care of a certain person, he would have flipped the table.
”Huh? We're leaving?” Anabelle was surprised. She was hoping to spend more time with Isabella's family and leave towards the evening time.
”Your fiancé planned an unexpected breakfast, let's go,” Isabella was already on her feet causing Anabelle to keep up with her pace.
”See you later, father,” Isabella said, when it hit her. She turned, ”And, do remember to invite the woman who saved mom. It would be a pleasure to finally meet her,”
Niklaus groaned, ”You're supposed to test her, not hurt her,” He knew Isabella's tendencies.
”That's what I'm going to do,” Isabella said.
Niklaus gave her a look of disbelief.
”Cross my heart,” She gestured across her chest, ”Put a little trust in me, Niklaus. I'm your daughter, not a psychopath,”
Isabella then began to preach to him, ”As you said to your son, Allen, just because I have the power and resources doesn't mean I have to abuse it,”
Niklaus snorted with laughter, ”Fine, do whatever you want. I wonder what kind of daughter you are, you never let me have the last words,”
”Of course, I'm your daughter, who else?” She stated proudly causing Anabelle's face to distort. Why were they oppressing her with their relationship? She has a father as well, you know.
However, it still pleased Anabelle that Isabella and Niklaus had made a tremendous leap in their relationship. Who knew they would come to be this close?
Isabella left with Anabelle, although with a promise to come visit the twins later. She entered the car with Anabelle who insisted on driving, claiming that she was a pregnant woman that needed rest.
The restaurant was not far, hence they arrived in a few minutes and Isabella was surprised to see Pedro there. Well, she was not that startled since she predicted he would be with Julie, but there was always this pull between them and even now they were staring at each other, it was almost as if only the both of them existed in this space.
But then, Julie interrupted the moment, ”You know, if the both of you want to fuck, there's a restroom over there for your limited privacy, however...” his jaw clenched, ”I'm kind of pissed right now,”
”You're pissed? That's amazing. I never thought I would get to see your angry face - you're always smiling,” Isabella smirked at him.
”Isabella,” Pedro called her name as if trying to warn her.
