"If I transfer these to you, you will leave us without pestering?" Isabella asked with a tiny ray of hope glittering in her eyes.
"Sure... I'll leave for now..Though you transfer these properties to me, remember you still belong to me. With your situation right now, no other man will plan to marry you except for me" George Romano spoke shamelessly.
"....."
'I know this bastard would say something like this' Isabella thought with fire building up in her heart.
"You don't have to worry about that" All she could say was that single line.
She can't let this man enter her life and trouble her again.
"It's not that I worry about you. I worry about your fatherless child. I'm more humane than you think. I don't mind taking in this bastard child"
'This bastard thinks he's a pure gentleman after what all he did to me. Even now he's sucking in all my wealth and he says he's more lenient than others. This shameless dog will soon surely die in my hands' Isabella can't argue with this man anymore. She can only go with the flow for now.
She has to find a way to permanently escape from this man even if it meant for her to stuck herself to a random man.
She signed the papers and threw them rashly and took her daughter and walked out of the restaurant.
Everything happened hastily and she still can't believe what she did a few minutes ago.
She slapped that man's face with the papers in her hands.
Her behaviour might seem impolite to others. But it was still far from what she suffered. Only when he's beaten to death by her, her behaviour can be called rude.
Since she's already late to her morning job, Isabella thought she might as well give a plausible excuse and take a day off from all her jobs.
"Baby....Since I'm already late to work, I've decided to take a day off. How about we hang out around the amusement park?" Isabella asked her daughter while walking out of the restaurant.
"Really.....Baby loves to hang out together with Mommy" the child clapped her tiny hands with a cheerful smile.
Isabella called all her working locations and asked for sick leave. She didn't forget about her daughter's nanny.
She messaged that middle-aged woman and said she would take care of the girl for that day and asked her not to come to her house.
Only after making sure everything was alright, she hailed a taxi towards the park. The mother-daughter duo soon landed near the amusement park.
They roamed around the toy and other game stalls and had fun while riding a few less frightening rides. The sun moved right on top of their heads and it's finally time to fill the stomach.
Because of what she went through in the morning, Isabella had no appetite. She ordered some simple meal for her child.
The daughter never once tasted food from outside and always ate either her mother's or her nanny's cooked food.
Since she got a chance to eat outside food, she ate the food happily with her chubby cheeks like a little hamster. Her happy face made the people around the mother-daughter couple feel jealous.
A group of young girls far from the duo mumbled among themselves.
'"Hey..look at that cute child. She's so adorable. See her mother's face, she too looks stunningly gorgeous" one lady in red clothing spoke with glittering eyes with her hands swaying in awe.
"Right..." Another woman said while checking on the mother and daughter.
"Yeah..the child's parents are truly lucky to have such a cute daughter.... and from the looks of the child her father must be demonically handsome...just see those grey eyes" The first woman declared the child father's features just by looking at the child's eyes.
"....My heart breaks whenever I think of someone handsome...Why do all those handsome men escape from us girls?" another woman wept in silence.
"What nonsense...look at that mother's dressing. With that kind of those clothes, she's no different than a beggar. Still, she found a good man...then why can't we?" the second woman who judged the daughter mother's looks spoke with arrogance.
Just then a young woman dressed in a high-class attire walked towards the group and said in a voice that's a bit loud to make sure that the whole surrounding area can hear her words.
"Hahaha..... that child could be an illegitimate one. Who knows maybe that woman sold herself.."
Isabella knew very well that someone around her was gossiping about her. But she didn't heed much because it was normal for her. She was used to it.
But the last sentence which that woman deliberately said aloud hit her soft spot. That issue regarding how she became pregnant was a taboo.
The truth was an open fact but she would never accept.
She cared less about how people looked at her and what they spoke about her. But she was afraid the words and looks those people give to her would influence her child.
She doesn't want her child to hear such heartbreaking words even if those were meant to be heard solely by her. She took her child's arm and patted it lightly and asked in a sweet tone.
"Baby...would you like to eat something sweet?"
"Yeah... Mommy... Let's go and grab some Ice-cream" the little girl was instantly cheered up hearing her mommy's words.
"No...baby..you can't eat ice cream. How about some cotton candy?" the mother was stunned when her child asked for ice cream.
Only Isabella knew what happens when her child eats something cold. 'Dear... don't trouble me. I can't tell you that you become a little sick on eating cold stuff'
So, she wanted her child to understand her words clearly and she tried coaxing the baby.
"No...mommy. I want to eat ice cream and why you would never allow me to eat?" the baby girl's eyes became teary.
"Listen...baby. You can't eat cold foods. That's bad for your health"
"What's so bad about it? I've seen kids eating lots of ice-cream on TV. Why can't I eat ice-cream if others could eat?" the child started crying.
