The Billionaire's Kick Ass Wife (Isabella Thompson) novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53 Heart To Heart

Isabella Thompson blinked and looked at him, astounded.

Draxton Lockwood looked at her earnestly. His voice was low, and he spoke slowly. “I have indeed been looking for you for the past five years. Perhaps because of this, it is difficult for you to trust me.”

The corners of Isabella’s mouth twitched. He said he had been looking for her for the last five years… He wasn’t hunting her down?

She couldn’t help but say, “It’s not that I don’t trust you. I believe that you won’t hurt me and Ricky now.”

Her dazzling eyes were fixed on him, staring right into his midnight blue eyes.

Draxton’s grim expression finally relaxed a little, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Isabella then said, “But… Do you trust me?”

Draxton was stunned.

Did he trust her?

It could be said that he did not trust her completely. He trusted her partially because he was confident in himself. That could not be considered trust.

Isabella could see through him at a glance, but she did not care because she would not show all her trump cards either.

Today, she revealed her medical heritage to prove to the Lockwood family that she was not worthless. Draxton’s face, which was extremely similar to Ricky’s, tensed up again.

He did not answer the question. Instead, he said, “I like you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. You’re my wife. I’ll trust you as time progresses because you’ll be the closest person to me for the rest of my life. You’re also the person who’s going to grow old with me.”

He said he would trust her completely as time progresses…

Isabella held her forehead and chuckled. She couldn’t help it at the sight of the man in front of her. He was sitting upright with a grave expression.

The man looked very serious.

She didn’t want his trust because she couldn’t trust him completely in the first place.

They were incomparably compatible physically and mentally. As long as they did not hurt each other, that was enough.

But she wasn’t expecting him to treat things so seriously.

Isabella felt that he was kind of adorable.

He was completely different from the rumored image of the Lockwood family chieftain.

“If I hadn’t brought you here today, I wouldn’t have known that you are actually the true successor of the Sanctum of Holy Doctors.”

Draxton was slightly disappointed.

Most importantly, Second Aunt must have seen through his predicament. He had lost all his dignity. Isabella shook her head. “No, I’m not the successor of the Sanctum of Holy Doctors.” Isabella saw the surprised look on his face and continued, “I’m the leader from the Sanctum of Holy Doctors.”

Draxton stared at the woman in front of him in utter shock.

She was the leader of the Sanctum of Holy Doctors, that legendary sect full of Miraculous Doctors?

She had the true inheritance of the Sanctum of Holy Doctors.

Isabella smiled. “I’ve told you everything!”

Draxton did not know how to reply to that. He felt conflicted.

Because he knew that wasn’t all she had.

But he didn’t care.

Ever since he was young, he knew that if he wanted something, he had to pay the corresponding price or even double the price.

Therefore, he got up and took out a ring made of jade from the drawer near the bed.

The ring was made of an unknown silver-like metal. It was inlaid with a jade surface. Around the surface of the ring were seven exquisite silver decorations.

These seven decorations were like seven stars that surrounded the surface of the jade ring and wrapped it tightly around the silver ring

In addition, the seven stars were carved on the surface of the jade ring. They were connected and formed a shape like a silver spoon. This was the pattern of the Big Dipper.

Draxton put the ring on Isabella’s right index finger. Then with some maneuvering, the ring instantly became much smaller. It could now fit Isabella’s finger snugly.

Isabella looked at him in surprise. Draxton explained, “This is a summoning order for one squad of guards from the Lockwood family. Its name is Big Dipper.

“It’s loaded with state-of-the-art signal chips and advanced communication technology. See the seven stars here?

“Their functions include location tracking, signal transmission, and information transfer.

“If you need anything, just press the surface of the jade ring. The team of guards will be able to receive your message and find you through the location. You can also find them and approach them under the instructions of the signal.”

There was no need for Draxton to say it explicitly. Isabella also understood that the team of guards she could summon using this ring was quite impressive.

Draxton had handed over an important unit of the Lockwood family to her.

Draxton’s eyes were serious and focused as he looked at her. “This ring not only controls a team of guards, but it’s also an emblem. With it, at least half of the Lockwood family’s forces will be under your control.

“I’ll hand you half of the Lockwood family’s strength.”

It seemed he had resolved himself.

Isabella felt extremely conflicted looking at his determined countenance.

He was trying to trust her and was willing to give her half of the Lockwood family’s power.

Isabella didn’t know what to say.

“Don’t you regret it? This is half of the Lockwood family’s strength.” Isabella couldn’t help but ask.

“The Big Dipper is important, but family is more important,” Draxton said gently.

Isabella couldn’t help but be moved.

Isabella caressed the ring called the Big Dipper and smiled. She gladly accepted it and asked, “Is there still the Little Dipper?”

Draxton paused slightly.

Many would only hear of the Big Dipper, but few knew that the Lockwood family owned the Little Dipper.

Isabella was making wild guesses based on Big Dipper’s name, but it seemed like there really was one judging from the man’s reaction.

“The Big Dipper is known by many, but the Little Dipper is hidden from sight. The existence of the Little Dipper is extremely cruel. Regardless of gender, those of the Lockwood family can choose to join the Little Dipper once they turn 14.”

“Only by joining the Little Dipper can you qualify to compete for the position of chieftain.”

In fact, there was no competition at all.
