Chapter 224: Grumpy wife
The presence of the Nightshade couple warmed Abrielle greatly, slowly healing a part of her. Why did she make the villainess have such a perfect loving family? At least it compensates for everything Abrielle suffered from having an unloving husband.
"Soon, Father," she said, leaving a bitter taste in her mouth, knowing that day would never come. Her eyes stung, but she refused to cry in her parents’ presence. She broke the hug, smiling sweetly at her father, who had the warmest gaze ever.
It reminded her of Hazel’s mother. This wasn’t the time to remember a life she might never see again.
Rebecca, feeling jealous of how close Abrielle was to Pierre, disrupted their moment. She could not help the fact she had to be the strict parent when Pierre decided to make it his life mission to spoil the girl.
"Sorry to interrupt your lovely moment. Can we go inside now, for crying out loud? Stop behaving like she is still a little girl," she grumbled bitterly, her voice still carrying both worry and a hint of anger. "I’m cold and exhausted. And I want to see Cedric when he returns. We have much to discuss."
Abrielle exchanged a look with her father, Pierre, whose kind eyes softened the tension between them. Pierre’s silent understanding said it all, this was nothing more than old jealousy mixed with grief and worry. "Alright, Mother, I will lead you to your room. I have personally arranged for you." Abrielle chimed, hugging her mother’s arm.
With a gentle tug, Abrielle led Rebecca toward the grand entrance of the seaside castle. Rebecca’s gaze softened with a soft smile hanging on her lips. Abrielle’s voice rang as she gave her parents a tour of the place. She seemed cheerful all the way
Neither Rebecca nor Pierre mentioned anything about the affair related to Alfonso not to ruin the pleasant mood. They could not wait for Cedric to return to hear what excuses he had whatsoever.
