The Billionaire's Kick Ass Wife (Isabella Thompson) novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14 Marry Isabella?

Greyson suddenly tripped in the doorway and almost fell to the ground.

He grabbed the door frame in time and gaped at Draxton as if the latter were a ghost.

Besides Greyson, Ricky and Isabella opened their eyes wide too.

Ricky gawked at Draxton with clear eyes and looked like a small frightened animal.

Draxton found Ricky in a daze even cuter.

He thought that Ricky would call him Dad with alacrity.

However, the next second, Ricky pressed his lips together and ran toward Isabella with a grave face.

He burrowed his face into Isabella’s chest, and when Draxton looked over his shoulder, he only saw Ricky’s curly hair.

Draxton raised an eyebrow and thought Ricky was just shy.

Isabella wrapped her arms around Ricky, and her wary and confused gaze landed on Draxton. “What on earth. is he up to?

“He spent five years hunting us down, but when we finally meet, he behaves so weirdly. Is he pulling my leg?” she wondered.

Draxton knew what he had done might be too much for them. But, to be honest, he couldn’t understand himself very well either.

Perhaps he was doing so because when he first saw Isabella and Ricky at the airport, he had found them very pleasing to the eye.

Therefore, when he realized that they were a part of his life that he couldn’t ignore, he couldn’t help but want to own them.

“I’ll take my leave and come back to see you tomorrow. Have a good rest.”

Draxton decided to give them some time to accept him.

His presence there only meant more pressure on them.

Draxton walked out.

Dumbfounded, Greyson was still where he had been and couldn’t come back to his senses until a long while

later.

“What did Mr. Lockwood just say?

“Call… call him Dad?

“Mr. Lockwood has recognized that kid as his son?” Greyson thought.

“Greyson, catch up.”

Seeing Greyson still staying put, Draxton called out from behind him.

Greyson shuddered and collected himself. Then he closed the door and caught up with Draxton.

The room became quiet again. Ricky lifted his head in Isabella’s arms and looked up at her with big perplexed eyes, calling out softly, “Mom.”

Isabella gently stroked his soft hair and had a confused look in her eyes too.

They looked at each other in confusion before Isabella said, “Ricky, if he’s nice to you, you can call him Dad.”

Ricky thought for a while and nodded thoughtfully.

“But Mom can’t figure out what he is thinking.”

Draxton was so hard to understand.

However, no matter why Draxton behaved that way, it was a good sign that he didn’t threaten to kill them once he had found them.

Although Draxton had behaved oddly, Isabella thought she might stand a chance to ease the tensions between them and put an end to that incident five years ago.

For the sake of her children, she couldn’t antagonize that man.

Isabella slightly narrowed her eyes and decided to appear weak in front of Draxton.

Outside the ward, Greyson caught up with Draxton and asked inquisitively, “Mr. Lockwood, were you serious back there?”

He continued uncertainly, “You’ve changed your mind and decided to be easy on them?”

It made sense, given that the boy had Draxton’s blood and was very endearing. Greyson thought that perhaps as the boy’s father, Draxton couldn’t harden his heart against him.

Draxton shot Greyson a glance and said, “Take good care of them. I’ll come back tomorrow.”

After speaking, he strode away, leaving Greyson numb with shock.

After taking a few steps, Draxton turned around and said, “That woman gets frightened easily. Don’t scare her!”
