Chapter 430 Here Comes The Troublemaker The Lockwood family’s residence.
Draxton, Isabella, and Betty were escorted in by a large family.
They returned smoothly. As Draxton had expected, the President did not take any further action.
Knowing that they were back, the Lockwood family gathered at the old residence.
They were surrounded by a large family.
MadEmma Lockwood wiped her tears and went forward to pull Betty into her arms. Her heart ached so much that she was unwilling to let go of Betty.
Betty made a trip to Mystical Island. During this period, she was less delicate and more sensible.
She patted MadEmma Lockwood's back and said in a childish voice, “Great-grandma, | miss you and great- grandpa so much!” MadEmma Lockwood's heart was about to melt. She sized up Betty and said with heartache, “Baby, my baby, you've lost weight. Did you suffer?” MadEmma Lockwood's heart was about to break.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSir Graham Lockwood also went forward. His heartache was not inferior to MadEmma Lockwood's.
On the other side, Philip patted Draxton’s shoulder and said, “Thank you.” A smile flashed across Draxton’s eyes. “So, dad, how do you plan to compensate for my hard work?” Philip's expression froze and instantly changed. “You're the patriarch. How do you wantto compensate you?” “For example, you can lettake a vacation with Bella and go on a honeymoon,” Draxton said.
Philip's expression beceven stiffer. He dryly changed the topic. “Your mother and | have already discussed that we're going to Maestria to visit your grandparents. | can’t help you.
“You're the patriarch, so work harder.
“Besides, the Lockwood family is currently being targeted by the President. The outside world is saying that. the Lockwood family can’t take it anymore and is about to be replaced. As the patriarch, why are you taking leave at this time?” At the side, Jeanne glared at him. She held Isabella’s arm and walked to the sofa to sit down. “Bella, you seem to have lost sweight.” Isabella was overjoyed and asked happily, “Really?” Jeanne patted her angrily. “What are you happy about? Did you suffer on Mystical Island? It’s all Draxton’s fault for not protecting you and the child well.” “Mom, you can’t blDraxton. Draxton is the one who suffered,” Isabella said with a smile.
Jeanne was stunned. She blinked and tilted her head. She looked at Isabella thoughtfully and said, “Bella, | haven't seen you for a long time. Why are you so gentle? You're so gentle!” As she spoke, her eyes becso bright and doting. “Oh, you're really gentle after you cback!” Philip looked over warily. What did Jeanne mean? Why did his wife praise Isabella for being gentle? Wasn't he the gentlest person? Isabella could not help but laugh. She poured two glasses of water and handed one to Jeanne. She picked up the other glass and took a sip before saying unhurriedly, “Maybe it's because of my pregnancy.” During this period of time, due to her pregnancy, her temperament had indeed becmuch gentler. Jeanne had just picked up the glass of water and drank it when she heard that. She was stunned for a moment before choking.
The atmosphere instantly fell silent. Everyone's gaze fell on Isabella. Other than Jeanne’s coughing, everyone else was stunned.
Draxton’s lips twitched, and a trace of smugness appeared in his eyes.
Betty also straightened her chest proudly and broke the silence with her childish voice. “Grandma, Mommy is pregnant with a baby!” “Really? Oh my god, Bella!” Instantly, a large group of people surrounded Isabella.
Isabella smiled and comforted everyone. “The child is fine. It’s almost three months old.” Everyone's gaze fell on her belly. She had lost sweight and her clothes were slightly loose, so there was no change in her belly.
Isabella suddenly looked at Jeanne and asked, “Mom, you just said that | was so gentle when | cback this time. You mean... | wasn't gentle in the past?” Being stared at by Isabella's pitch-black and clear eyes, Jeanne felt her scalp tingle. She widened her eyes slightly and said seriously. “That's definitely not what | meant. You were especially charming in the past.” “Then I'm not charming now?” Isabella’s eyes widened in shock.
Jeanne’s eyes widened completely. “No! You're charming now too!” Isabella and Jeanne looked at each other with widened eyes.
Philip walked over and put his arm around Jeanne’s shoulder. He pulled her to the side and said, “Jean, why are you praising her? If you continue praising her, she’ll be so proud.” He looked at Isabella in disdain. “Why do you have so many questions?” Then, he glared at Draxton. “Why aren't you taking your wife to rest? You're tired all the way here. Why don’t you take a rest after coming back?” After saying that, he looked at Jeanne gently and said, “Jean, tell them to rest. If you have anything to say, we'll talk after they have a rest.” Jeanne secretly heaved a sigh of relief. This man was finally useful this time.
Isabella asked, “Mom, where's Ricky?” Jeanne quickly said, “Don’t worry. Ricky is at Mr. Lyons’s house. He knows that you're back. They should be here soon.” As soon as she finished speaking, the door was pushed open.
Jeanne’s eyes lit up. “They should have arrived.” They all looked at the door. Isabella was even more eager. It had been a while since she saw Ricky. She was a little excited.
However, the people who appeared at the door were not Mr. Lyons and Ricky.
It was a strange woman.
The woman was in her fifties. She was noble, dignified, and graceful. Her black hair was tied into an elegant bun, and she wore a crystal clear jade hairpin.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe walked in front with more than ten bodyguards in black behind her. Every bodyguard was armed.
A hint of disappointment flashed across Isabella’s eyes, followed by surprise.
She whispered to Draxton, “Draxton, who is she?” Draxton thought for a while. “She seems to be someone from the Vallan Branch.
“The Vallan Branch is one of the important businesses of the Lockwood family. The person in charge is called Dominic. The woman in front of us should be Dominic's wife.” Isabella frowned. “Then what does she mean? Is she going to rebel?” Draxton said, “Something like that.” Isabella did not say anything else. She was a little angry.
She thought that she would be able to see Ricky, but she did not expect that it would be someone unrelated.
After getting pregnant, she beca little hot-tempered.
However, she suppressed her anger.
The woman stood at the door gracefully and observed the people in the living room. When she saw that so many people were present, she was stunned for a moment. Without taking a closer look, she burst out laughing.
“Yo, why are there so many people? Are you holding a family meeting? Are you discussing how to protect the Lockwood family? Ha-ha!” As she spoke, she covered her mouth and laughed.
“Are you crazy?” Ava was irritable. She slammed the table and stood up on the spot.
The woman's laughter paused, but she was not angry. She said sarcastically, “Tsk tsk, Mrs. Ava Lockwood, your temper hasn't changed. Why are you so irritable? “Women should be gentle. Only a gentle woman could make her man successful and capable! “Look, isn’t my man now valued by the Mr. President now? “Vallan Branch... is no longer a branch of the Lockwood family! “Now, our family is President's favorite. Vallan Branch has also beca group in the charge of the President! “However, it doesn’t matter. On account of our relationship with the Lockwood family, we will put in a good word for the Lockwood family in front of the President. At the very least, we will ask the President to leave you something so that you can survive. After all, your family has so many people. Tsk!”
