Chapter 89 Mommy, Are You in Love?
At the last second, Freya swooped in!
She spotted Isabella waving like crazy, got the hint, and yanked Justin away.
Justin put up a fight, "Freya! Mommy fell down!"
"It's fine, we'll check on her later. Look, the shelves are packed with blankets, she won't get hurt."
"But I saw Mommy with a guy, and they were kissing."
Freya's eyes sparkled, "For real?!"
"Yeah! And Mommy kissed him first."
Freya went silent.
Oh man, this was some prime gossip. She really wanted to see it, but what should she do?
No, no, the kids came first.
Isabella must have a reason for keeping Justin away.
She can't make things harder for Isabella!
Freya squashed her urge to gossip.
"Justin, put your mask on first, let's go find Hugo and Paul."
"But..."
"No buts, your mommy will be fine, trust me!"
With that, Freya scooped up Justin and took off, not giving him a chance to look back.
Seeing Freya take Justin away, Isabella finally relaxed.
She went limp, collapsing onto Frederick's chest.
Frederick didn't say a word.
He lay there, with soft blankets underneath and a heavy, soft someone on top!
He wasn't hurt, but he was fuming!
What was Isabella doing?
"So romantic, just like in the movies."
"Being good-looking really helps, even knocking over shelves looks like a TV drama, so pleasing to the eye."
"Aren't they the couple who were arguing earlier? Looks like they've made up."
"Couples don't hold grudges, after a fight, a kiss and a hug make everything better."
Everyone watched them, laughing and gossiping.
Frederick hated being stared at, but now he was the center of attention.
And rumors were flying.
And Isabella kissed him again!
Even though it was through a mask, Frederick was still pissed.
He lay on the blankets, staring daggers at Isabella, his face livid.
His neck veins bulged with anger!
He couldn't even speak, just pressed his thin, attractive lips tightly together, glaring at Isabella, his chest heaving.
Isabella didn't realize what was happening until she heard the crowd's comments. She found herself lying on Frederick and quickly got up!
Blushing, she looked at him, "Sorry."
Frederick didn't say a word, glaring at her like he wanted to kill her with his eyes, then got up and stormed off.
Isabella was speechless.
Although it was embarrassing, seeing Frederick leave made her feel completely relieved.
But the scene where she kissed him just now still made her ears burn.
She had no other way to divert his attention, if she had, she wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate measure.
A young saleswoman came over, not busy tidying the shelves, but asking first,
"Miss, is that your boyfriend or husband? Is he a big star?"
Isabella's mouth twitched, "No."
"Oh, don't be shy, you two look so good together. It's a pity he's wearing sunglasses and a mask, can't see his face, but judging by his aura, he must be very handsome!"
Isabella didn't say anything.
After apologizing to the saleswoman and helping tidy the shelves, she quickly went to find Freya, Hugo, Justin, and Paul.
As soon as they met up, little Paul asked, "Mommy, why's your face so red? And your ears too?"
Isabella awkwardly replied, "I was helping the saleswoman tidy up, got a bit hot."
Paul bought it, "Oh, so you were hot."
Isabella smiled, about to say something else when Justin suddenly blurted out, "Mommy, who was that man you kissed just now?"
"Huh?" Isabella was stunned.
Justin continued, "I saw it all. You threw yourself into his arms and kissed him on tiptoe. When he fell, he even held your waist, just like couples on TV, you were kissing and hugging."
Isabella was at a loss for words.
Kids and their blunt honesty made her want to crawl into a hole!
Now, not only her face and ears were red, but even her neck was flushed!
"Mommy, are you in love?" Justin asked again.
Isabella's long eyelashes fluttered wildly, not knowing how to answer.
Not in love, then why kiss?
In love? She didn't want to lie about that.
Just when she was at a loss, Hugo jumped in to save her, "Justin, Mommy is a girl, if you ask her so directly, she'll be shy."
"Huh? Then how should I ask?" Justin looked innocent.
Hugo glanced at Isabella, "Don't ask anything, it's Mommy's little secret."
After saying that, he took Justin and Paul to the toy section, distracting them with toy selection.
"Hugo is so considerate," Freya praised Hugo, then nudged Isabella, looking mischievous, "Hey, what's going on with you?"
Isabella let out a long sigh, "It's a long story."
"What do you mean? Who did you kiss? A man you kissed first must be someone you like, tell me, I want to know."
Isabella was furious, "It's Dennis's dad! He's been following me, buying whatever I buy. I got angry and confronted him, but he denied it, so we argued. Then Justin showed up out of nowhere. If he saw Justin, wouldn't that be a disaster? So I acted on impulse, grabbed his face... ahem, I kissed him to divert his attention, and he was wearing a mask."
Freya was shocked, "It was him?!"
"Who else did you think!"
"Oh my, good thing I took Justin away in time!"
"Yes! Great job, I'll give you a treat tonight!"
Freya was still a bit shaken, "But why is he following you and buying what you buy?"
"He said it's because Dennis likes my cooking and he wanted to see what ingredients and seasonings I use."
"Couldn't he just ask you? No, you shouldn't see him now, so that reason does make some sense."
Isabella pursed her lips, no matter what, it wasn't good for Justin to see her kissing him today.
"We need to be more careful from now on. After all, we're in the same city, and it is very likely to run into each other," Freya said.
Isabella nodded heavily, "Yes!"
They need to be careful, for Teronica is not a big city, the chances of running into each other are high.
She should hurry up and divorce Frederick!
Then take the kids and leave here!
Tomorrow, she must settle things with Frederick, force him to go through the divorce procedures with her!
