Chapter 171 Want to Find Her, Spoil Her!
"But don't be too upset. With your figure, you're definitely better than most out there. Maybe a penny a photo, readers might still consider it."
Frederick glared at her, a cold, piercing stare that could kill.
Isabella shrank back a bit, uttering, "Don't be ungrateful. I'm trying to comfort you."
"So should I thank you?" he hissed through clenched teeth.
Isabella's lips trembled as she said, "No need!"
Isabella's phone rang. It was Hugo calling.
The four little ones were worried about her, afraid Frederick might go back on his word and upset her, so they called to check in.
Isabella quickly stepped aside to answer, "Hello, Hugo."
"Mommy, what are you doing?"
"I'm talking to Dennis's daddy."
"Oh, we're with Dennis now. Don't worry about us. He hasn't discovered our secret. And don't worry about not seeing Dennis in the future. Dennis's daddy is just afraid you'll take his son away, so he said some harsh words. We've already explained it to him, and he realized his mistake. He said he would apologize to you."
Isabella felt much more at ease hearing this. Frederick hadn't recognized the kids, which was good news!
Being able to see Dennis in the future was also good news!
However, did he apologize? Absolutely not. He had been picking fights the whole time!
But it didn't matter. She didn't care about his apology anyway!
"Freya is probably on her way to pick you up. Go home with your godmother first. Mommy will be back soon."
"Okay."
After hanging up, Isabella placed the phone against her chest and took several deep breaths to calm herself.
As long as the kids were safe, she was fine!
The past was behind her. She had no thoughts of revenge or reconnecting with him. She just wanted to live a quiet life with her children.
So it didn't matter if she knew his identity!
When she first realized he was the man from her past, she was indeed emotional. Now, after arguing with him, her anger had subsided.
It didn't matter if she knew his identity, as long as he didn't find out about her and the kids!
Isabella calmed down and let out a long breath.
She put away her phone and was about to leave when she almost got scared to death by Frederick!
She didn't know when he had moved behind her, standing there like a tall, menacing figure.
"What are you doing?! You scared me to death!" Isabella complained.
Frederick glared at her with a dark, menacing look as he asked, "I'm asking you one last time. Do you really not know Dennis's mother?"
"I don't! I really don't!" Isabella answered impatiently.
"...You kept trying to take my clothes off just to take photos and sell them?"
Isabella's lips moved, not as confidently as before. She uttered, "...Yes."
After all, she really didn't know Dennis's mother. She wasn't lying about that.
But the part about selling nude photos was made up!
Frederick's gaze was terrifying. She added another sentence to bolster her courage, "We could work together. You strip; I take photos. Each photograph sells for ten cents, with the profits evenly divided between the two of us."
Frederick's facial muscles twitched in rage as he shouted, "Get out!"
Isabella's eardrums were almost shattered by his roar. She said, "You..."
"Get out!" He roared again, scaring Isabella so much that she didn't dare say another word. She quickly ran away without looking back, as if a monster was chasing her.
After Isabella left, Frederick stood alone in the pavilion, smoking.
The night enveloped him completely, with only the faint glow of his cigarette visible.
As the adage goes, "The greater the expectation, the deeper the disappointment."
He had high hopes tonight. He thought Isabella was taking his clothes off to check for bite marks. He thought Isabella knew Dennis's mother!
He thought he could definitely get some information from Isabella!
Even a little bit of information would help him find her! He had forcibly taken her, and he felt guilty about it!
At the same time, he genuinely wanted to find her and live a good life with her. He wanted to pamper her, spoil her, and protect her!
People often remarked that Dennis is obsessed with his mother.
But he was the same. He was obsessed with that woman, too!
He was desperate to find her, to treat her well with all his heart!
He felt that if he could really find her, he could pamper her to the skies, revolve around her all day, and never get tired!
Even if she wanted the stars in the sky or the moon in the water, he would rack his brains to get them for her!
Knowing it was futile, knowing it was impossible, he would still do it just to make her happy!
He really wanted to find her and pamper her with his life!
Frederick's heart felt like it was being roasted, burning, and uncomfortable.
It wasn't until Elliot cautiously approached and said Freya was at the gate to pick up the kids that he snapped out of it.
"Let her pick them up."
"Okay."
Elliot made a call to the gate and then cautiously looked at Frederick as he inquired, "Are you okay, boss?"
Frederick frowned, stubbed out his cigarette, and walked out while calling Douglas.
He was annoyed and wanted to drink.
Elliot didn't know what had happened, but felt sorry for him. He sighed silently and followed him to the bar.
The pavilion fell silent again after they left.
Suddenly, a woman with disheveled hair and a pale face emerged from the bushes.
She tilted her head, suspiciously looking in the direction Frederick and Elliot had left...
She didn't know Frederick or his identity, but she had seen his face.
She thought of Isabella's children...
They looked the same!
"Laura!"
Suddenly hearing someone call her name, Laura shuddered and started to run, but tripped over a branch.
"Ouch—" She didn't know what she had hit, but it hurt so much that her eyes turned red.
Hearing the commotion, Daniel rushed over with a doctor and a nurse.
Seeing her, Daniel was angry as he exclaimed, "I told you not to run around. Why don't you listen?!"
Laura looked at him with red eyes, feeling both aggrieved and angry. She explained, "I came out to find my child! You won't help me, and you won't let me look for him myself? You don't care about him, but I do. He's my child. I miss him..."
She started crying as she spoke.
Daniel frowned impatiently, saying, "I've told you many times, your child is gone. Where are you going to find him?! And even if this child is gone, there can be another one. Do you have to make such a fuss?"
Laura cried and asked him, "Can there be another one? I didn't even get a chance to give birth to this one. Can I have another?"
Daniel was very unhappy. He stated impatiently, "Whether you can have another one is not up to me. It depends on fate and your health! Other people recover after some time after a miscarriage, but look at you! If you still keep this up, I'll have no choice but to send you to a mental hospital!"
