Chapter 750 - Seven Hundred And Fifty: Karma Visits The Spencers (2/2)
”Well, whatever time he arrives, just be sure to keep your eyes on him. We don't want anything happening on Isabella's special day else she would really kill you guys and I'll be helpless to help - It's not a joke,” Reina warned them before making her way over to Cecil who was standing at the entrance of the rich garden with Isabella's grandmother making conversation.
”Granny,”
”Reina,”
She embraced the old woman. Although they were not related and she was merely the stepmother of her grandchild, Isabella, Reina, and the woman acted like mother and daughter.
”You should go sit down and let us younger woman handle this,” Reina told the woman who gave her a stupid look.
”What nonsense!” The woman rejected the offer, ”Just because I'm older doesn't mean I'm physically handicapped!” She insisted and they let her be.
The old woman lost her husband two years ago and now lived alone since Kay was her only child. However, Isabella was making plans of moving her to their place once she was married so she would not feel lonely anymore.
A smile crossed Reina's lips at the thought, Isabella was much more mature and considerate than when she was younger and she was proud of that. Isabella might not be her child but Reina was grateful she positively impacted her life.
”Deborah!” A smile lot up Reina's face when she saw the young woman come in, ”You honored my invitation,”
”Of course, why wouldn't I?” Deborah said, hugging Reina briefly and at the same time accepting the pecks on both sides of the cheek.
Reina took her by the hand, ”I'm so glad that you came because the whole family heard about the incident and they can't wait to see you,”
”Geez, you shouldn't have. I'm so shy now,” Deborah closed her face with both hands causing Reina to chuckle.
”No, you don't have to be embarrassed. My family is quite simpler than you imagine and you won't have any problem getting along with them,” Reina explained, leading the girl to Cecil who regarded her slowly.
”Cecil, this is Deborah, my young friend, and Deborah, this is Cecil, the mother to my handsome son-in-law,” She playfully introduced her to Cecil who stretched her hand for a handshake that Deborah accepted.
”It's nice to meet you, Deborah,”
”It's nice to meet you as well, Mrs. Cecil,”
”Oh, come on, drop the formalities. Here, we are all families and you're welcome to the rehearsal dinner. I hope you have a good time here,” Cecil gave her a warm welcome.
”Thank you,” Deborah smiled at her. Truth be told, the reception they gave her was not what she expected.
However, it was too late to change her mind.. Moreover, the plans were already in motion, tonight would mark the day Karma decided to visit the Spencer Clan.
