Chapter 375 Finally Made It
Isabella and Draxton sat in the pavilion in the courtyard and drank coffee. They seemed relaxed.
*Julian suffered a huge loss today. He won’t let this go,” Isabella said as she poured coffee.
Draxton said, “Bella, I have an idea next, but…”
Isabella looked up at him and asked, “What?”
Draxton said, “Let’s pretend to hurt ourselves and beat them at their own game.”
Isabella lowered her eyes and pondered. After a moment, she said, “No matter what you want to do, I’ll support you.”
The corners of Draxton’s lips curled up slightly. He looked smug yet sweet. “Thank you, Bella.” “Hey!” Isabella looked at him in amusement. “How do you plan to hurt yourself and beat them?”
Draxton’s expression was slightly solemn as he said, “Since we have to hurt ourselves, we’ll have to suffer a little. How can those masterminds hiding in the dark reveal their true selves if nothing happens to you and me? Julian is just an enemy that we can see.”
At this moment, Betty ran over with her short legs. She opened his tiny arms and was about to throw herself into Isabella’s arms. “Mommy, Betty Baby is here.”
Suddenly, a large hand reached out from afar and grabbed the girl.
Betty was struggling in mid-air.
Isabella laughed out loud.
Betty fell into a firm and broad embrace. She turned around and smiled coquettishly. “Daddy.”
Then, she planted a kiss on Draxton’s face.
Draxton smiled contentedly and pinched her little nose. She said unhappily, “Betty, you’re a little baddie. You only love Mommy, not me.”
He had a jealous expression on his face.
Betty shook her head like a rattle drum and coaxed sweetly, “No, no. Betty loves Daddy the most.”
Then, she pouted and pecked at her father’s face.
Isabella propped up her chin lazily and watched the father and daughter play with a smile.
“Betty, what are Mr. Wright and Grandma Grey doing?” Isabella asked.
Betty became solemn for a second. She sat in her father’s arms and replied solemnly, “Mr. Wright and Grandma Grey are drinking. I brought them peanuts and came to look for you and mum.”
Isabella smiled and nodded. “Yes, Betty. You’re awesome.”
Draxton played with Betty’s curly hair and said, “Mr. Wright for sure likes Master Grey, but I don’t know what Master Grey thinks of Mr. Wright. Actually, it’s not a bad idea if the two of them get together.”
He now could understand how wonderful it was to have a partner who loved each other. The days of being single were indeed incomparable to his life now.
Isabella looked at him with a smile and said, “It’s indeed not a bad thing if they can get together. However, I don’t know what Master Grey thinks.”
At this moment, Jocelyn and Landon had already drunk more than half a bottle.
“Jocelyn, congratulations on finally ending Cecilia today and clearing your name.” Landon smiled and raised his wine glass. He looked elegant. He was still sober and had a smile on his face. Others would think that he was drinking coffee and not wine.
Jocelyn was different. Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were a little dazed. Her red lips curled up as she finished the wine in her glass.
“Cecilia had hurt me for half my life. Killing her today is so satisfying!”
She put the wine glass away and shook her head. “This glass is too small. I’m not satisfied. I’m happy today. Change the glass.”
Landon stood up and took her wine glass away. He unhurriedly picked a few jars from the wine cabinet. “Speaking of drinking, a bottle is never enough compared to a jar. Only places like the Mystical Island still keep a hundred-year-old wine. This is perfect. Jocelyn, since you are in the mood to drink, why don’t we try this?”
Landon placed a few jars of wine on the table.
