Taming A Billionaire-Chapter 590 - Five Hundred And Ninety: Those Perveted Old Women

The third point of view:

"What kind of mother are you? How could you put the future of the unborn kids in jeopardy all because of a misunderstanding?" It was Emily's turn to give her an earful.

The men had left the room leaving only the women and Isabella - who came in moments ago and was still glaring at her. It turns out she too was angry at her.

Niklaus had been wheeled away to get some rest. He was supposed to be having bed rest and had only be moved so she could see him and calm down. Her husband had to undergo three more surgeries to correct the bones there and there was a sixty percent chance of success. No, it was hundred percent success - she would make sure of it.

"I'm so sorry, I have no excuse to make," Reina said, biting on her lower lips. Due to her earlier "outburst", she was confined to bed rest as well and upon Niklaus'?demand, the doctors would run necessary examinations on her to make sure the babies were alright.

She then turned to Isabella who busied herself with peeling apples for her. The girl's face was devoid of expression and it creeped out Reina at so many similarities she saw between her husband and his daughter. It made her shiver at times.

"Aren't you going to talk to me?" She asked her.

"Why?" Isabella finally responded, "What do want me to say or rather, where do you want me to start? The fact that Neon cried all night thinking he was about to become an orphan? Or the fact you made me fill in the position of a mother to the twins? What exactly do you want to hear?" there was a hint of anger in her tone.

Reina gulped, "I'm sorry,"

"If you're that sorry, make sure to give both to the triplets safely, or else you would have me to contend with," Isabella made her point known before resuming her apple peeling as if nothing happened.

"A-hem," Cecil cleared her throat attempting to liven the tensed environment, "Fine, let's us stop bullying Reina already, she says she's sorry,"

The others who understood Cecil's intention joined in as well. 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦ｍ

"Fine, she's forgiven," Camille said.

"Moreover, everyone's bound to make mistakes anyway. So she's forgiven as well," Emily asserted, eyeing Isabella and hoping the girl would say something to make her mother feel good but she didn't, her attention was on her apples.

Hence, Emily intentionally nudged her and Isabella turned to her, "What?"

Isabella then looked around to discover that everyone was giving her the same odd look, including Reina - as if she was expecting something.

"Oh," Isabella finally remembered and then picked three of the peeled apples and sliced them into a plate, handing it over to her mother, saying, "Sorry for the delay. Now eat your fruit,"

By the side, Emily and the others face-palmed mentally. Well, this could count as a peace offering. Yeah, right, how didn't they see that?

Isabella ignored the weird stares those women were giving her and resumed her apple peeling - there were ten apples left. She heard apples were highly nutritious for pregnant women and had bought more than many - Reina was pregnant with triplets, she needed many of it - and came to visit even though she was pissed at her. 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺

"By the way, I'm still shocked," Cecil started a conversation.

"Shocked by what?" Reina said, enjoying her daughter's apples. Truthfully, she didn't have the appetite for apples but since Isabella peeled them, she would enjoy it.

"What do you think if not the fact you're pregnant with triplets. You went from two kids to three. Who knows, the next might be four!" She teased her and the other women burst into laughter.

"Don't worry, there won't be a next time. I'll undergo a hysterectomy after these ones are born," Reina said and this time, Isabella's movement paused for a second before resuming.

"What?!!" They were all shocked.

"You'll remove your uterus? You know you can't get pregnant after that...." a naughty smile tugged Emily's mouth to the side, "Well, I'm not surprised with that move with the way, you and my brother are going at it like rabbits,"

They burst into laughter once more, Reina went red in the face. These mischievous women!

"By the way, Emily, does multiple pregnancy genes runs in the family?" Camille asked "I can't help but wonder if I might have to prepare myself for twins in the future. Not that I plan to have more, anyway, I just want to be careful,"

"You don't plan to have more kids?" Cecil was surprised.

"Anabelle and this little one are enough for me, I have my career to work on. You?"

Cecil smirked at the question, "I'm determined to milk all swimmers from Emerald. I have enough eggs to fertilize them," She burst into laughter, followed by the others.

Isabella sighed, rubbing her temple and none of them noticed her distress. This was the reason she hated staying around these perverted old women - they fed her with information her smart brain would never forget in this lifetime. How many apples were left to peel? She needed to leave her ASAP before she became she joined them and said something she would regret.

"Didn't you say you hate pregnancy?" Reina reminded her of her words.

"Well, It's true," Cecil acquiesced, "But I want to see tiny more versions of the both of us," she was hilarious.

"Well, about your question," Emily pulsed her lips, deep in thought, "As far as my ancestry goes, I don't remember any of them having multiple pregnancies," she added, "Unless the kids died at birth?"

"From Reina's side then?" Cecil wondered," That might explain it."

Reina answered immediately, "I don't know my ancestry. Even if I did, I've not heard of any having multiple pregnancies,"

"From who then?" They all wondered.

Suddenly Isabella said, "Why wonder about ancestry when Niklaus has Grade A swimmers. Moreover, it's a result of his hard work, not really the gene." Uh-oh, she said at last.

Everyone's awkward gaze landed on her.

Like a robot, Isabella rose to her feet, a blush coloring her cheeks.

"I'll take my leave now,"

"Isabella, wait -" Reina tried to stop her but the young girl vanished without a trace. She must be mortified to death.

Everyone looked at each other puzzled.

"What just happened?" Emily asked.

"I have no idea," Camille replied.

Suddenly, as if someone said, Jack Robinson, they all burst into laughter.. This was the most hilarious episode they have seen from Isabella.
