Chapter 716 - Seven Hundred And Sixteen: Feel The Heat Of Her Anger

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.

Julie's left eye twitched, Anabelle was going to land him into trouble tonight or maybe, she wanted to. He simply smiled nervously, "What kind of fiancé would be if I can't make out time for the love of my life?" he attempted to do damage control.

Julie and Eden's eyes met after the exchange and he simply hinted at him that Anabelle was the only thing that mattered to him and that he would protect her.

He simply turned to Eden and bowed,

"I'm sorry for the dinner," Julie took on the blame even though Anabelle was the one who started it, and that made Eden's approval for him grow.

A man that could take the blame for his partner even when she was in the wrong just because he loved her? Eden was rest assured that his daughter was in safe hands. Moreover, they've been together for years, hence knowing Julie's character a bit. The devil he knew was better than the angel he hasn't seen, Eden believed that.

"Sure, we should do that. Aside from that, come for drinks whenever you're free," Eden requested.

"Sure, I'll do that," Julie was happy.

"Take care of her," Camille's voice held a warning that Julie understood.

"I would," He promised her.

On the other hand, Anabelle stood there dumbfounded, why does it look like her parents were handing her over to Julie? She was dumbfounded, they weren't even married yet.

"Also," Allison added to everyone's surprise, "Buy my sister, Anabelle, a yummy ice-cream, she likes to have that whenever she's angry,"

Anabelle's jaw almost dropped to the ground, even her sister was in this? Why was everyone doing this to her?

"Allison!" She cautioned her.

"What?" Allison said innocently, "You said that's the most romantic thing a guy would ever do for you,"

That's it, she's finished. Anabelle wished the ground would open at this moment and swallow her. People called her a loudmouth, have they met her younger sibling? That is it, she's never telling her any of her fantasies ever again.

At once Julie manipulated Anabelle's embarrassing moment to his favor, "That's it, sweetheart," His hand went to the small of her back, "Let's go so I can get you some ice cream before you visit Isabella,"

Anabelle gave him a death glare, he was enjoying this. He was supposed to feel the heat of her wrath, instead, he was seeing her embarrassment. It infuriated her greatly. So she slapped his hand away and left without a second look at her parents nor Allison. They have done a good job already - note the sarcasm.

"Thank you," Julie said precisely to his sister in law who had shown him a way to cool down Anabelle's great anger - without sex.

Allison winked at him in return.
