Chapter 750 - Seven Hundred And Fifty: Karma Visits The Spencers (1/2)

The third point of view:

There were a lot of activities going on in Kay's manor. Yes, Isabella had planned to hold her rehearsal dinner there in memory of her biological mother. It sounded pretty stupid but her mother needed to see that her daughter was doing well.

As expected, Reina was trying to keep the triplets on their best behavior while Niklaus was going over the security layout with Emerald. Occasions like this were an opportunity for their enemy to strike and they had to limit the chances of that occurring.

The rehearsal was not as strict as the wedding party and judging from the fact Isabella was a private person, she opted for immediate family members to be in attendance only. Sadly, Spencers were a large family, hence extended families came among and with them their friends as well. So what was supposed to be a simple dinner escalated into a massive celebration.

They considered an outdoor barbecue in the large garden. The cherry trees were in bloom hence they provided a sweet, warm, and cozy ambiance for the guests.

Since the wedding was set on Sunday, the dinner was hosted on its eve. Isabella and Pedro didn't have an actual rehearsal so they opted to still celebrate with dinner instead. They didn't want the guest to have too late of an evening considering the main event is yet to come.

”Ailee! Neon! Please help me keep an eye on the kids,” Reina said, hardly getting a grip on Elsa who tried to escape, ”I need to help Camille welcome in the guests,”

”Sure,” Ailee said, taking Diego and Ella by the hand because Elsa successfully wriggled out of her mother's hold.

However, the girl didn't get to go far because Neon caught her from behind, ”They're safe with us,” He gave her a strained smile.

Since that episode resulted in Allen moving out, he couldn't figure out Reina's intentions towards him. Was she still mad at him? Does she blame him for what happened with Allen? She must hate seeing his face because he reminds her of his mother, Jennifer.

”Did the both of you fight?” Reina asked, noticing the tension between both kids.

”It's nothing!” Both of them said in a chorus earning a raised brow from her.

”Fine, you can choose not to say a word. Both of you are adults and can figure out your problems. But I'm always here just so you know,” Reina informed them in case they needed her counsel.

”So that means you're on talking terms with me once again?” Neon asked, unsure.

”Who said I wasn't on speaking terms with you, Neon?” Reina took a deep breath, ”The case with your mother is pretty complicated, however, I'm more concerned about you who is caught in between. I might be angry sometimes, Neon but I would never be angry with you. You're my son, my family,”

At that statement, Ailee and Neon's gaze connected unconsciously and she gave him a look that said, 'Now what do you say to that?'

Neon didn't say anything rather gave her an understanding smile.

Reina breathed in deep relief, then clapped her hands as if remembering something, ”Now, where is my wonderful rebellious son, Allen? Wasn't he supposed to arrive here with us?”

”Well, he made a last-minute cancellation, saying he would arrive on his own and that it was part of his self-discovery blah blah,” Ailee answered.
