Chapter 88

  "Daddy!" JoJo exclaimed excitedly as she hugged and kissed him. "Daddy!" Jasmine called too and she jumped on him to give him a big kiss too. They both got on Antonio to scratch his hair as they've both missed him so much.

Bella had told them earlier about their father being sick and that they were not meant to disturb him till he recovers. They waited all evening but still could not find him, but now they're with him, again.

"You never told me, you were sick!" Bella whispered for the man to smile at her. "It started this morning, but I waved it off cause I felt it was nothing serious!" He pegged her lips before the kids. "Antonio!" She scolded with a blush.

Antonio pulled her to himself as he hugged her tightly, finally he was blessed with the best gift any man would ask of. He had a loving family, his wife and kids. It was evident Bella loved the kids even if they were not hers and his girls loved her alot to even call her mum.

Antonio knew he was a fufiled man already, at this moment he was the happiest man on Earth. Being with his family was priceless and he would give anything for them to stay like this forever.

With Edmund serving popcorn and soda for the adult and then fruit juice for the children, they started watching the movie together again.

The table was fully set, and dishes arranged all around it. The butler went in to call the family members for their dinner. Lily got out of her room in a long back dress, her hair was tied into beautiful curls with her favorite flower pins on it.

She looked so beautiful and elegant in her dress. She walked further with the help of the maids to the formal dinning room. At the same time Ruth and her only daughter Annabelle walked into the room too. 

Dowson also arrived, but his younger brother Ruben was yet to arrive as he was waiting for Lilo.

A white car arrived at the entrance of the palace, two pairs of black stilletos kissed the floor and Lilo stepped out. Looking so beautiful as always, she carried herself elegantly into the house. She was a little bit nervous, but covered it up with a subtle smile.

"Welcome madam!" The butler greeted holding her coat and purse. She was led to the dinning room, where the rest of the family members were.

"You're here!" Said Ruben who has been standing at the door waiting for her arrival. He was in a black suit as his hair was arranged backwards making him look more handsome than ever.

"A promise is a promise!" She smiled. "You look stunning tonight!" He complimented. "Thank you!"

"Ready?" She nodded for them to go in. They were greeted by the family members, but Lilo almost slumped by who she saw sitted on the table. What was she doing here? she knew Lily was a friend to Tina who introduced Bella to her.

But she didn't bother to find out things about the girl. She looked at the intimidating eyes on her, the man was new here, and he was as handsome as hell.

Could he be Ruben's elder brother??
