Chapter 599
“Sleeping on the floor? Sleeping in the study?’ Jake wondered.
Jake was in disbelief.
“This was actually a super trap?
“Could it be that I’m going to replace my father-in-law in sleeping in the study in the future?” Jake thought.
Seeing that Jake looked like he had been struck by lightning, Olivia burst out laughing. She said, Jake, don’t worry. Even if dad passed his treasure to you, it doesn’t mean that you have to sleep in the study in the future. After all, dad doesn’t have a shot in the matter. Mom does!”
Jake was stunned. That’s right, he had yet to meet Olivia’s other family members.
Isabella said to Draxton with interest, “Draxton, who do you think is more likely to sleep in the study in the future, dad or Jake?”
Draxton said without hesitation, “That depends on mom and Olivia’s decision.”
Isabella was deep in thought. Then, she teased him, “Then who will be the one calling the shots in our family?”
Draxton’s expression froze. “Bella, don’t pick up this bad habit from my mom.”
Isabella was overjoyed, but Draxton’s dark blue eyes looked at her nervously.
He said, “Bella, I won’t do anything to make you angry, so I won’t have the chance to sleep in the study.”
“Hehe…”
A cold laugh came from the door. Jeanne, Ava, Mia, and Yale were all standing at the door.
Yale looked at Draxton sympathetically and thought to himself, “Draxton, if you speak louder, the entire courtyard will hear you badmouthing your mom.’
“Draxton, good job. I didn’t expect you to set me up behind my back like this. Tell me, what bad habits do I have?”
Jeanne walked in graciously. Her beautiful eyes fixed on Draxton with an ambiguous faint smile.
Draxton’s expressionless face completely stiffened.
Isabella’s lips twitched.
Just as Draxton was about to plead for leniency, Jeanne said, “Bella, he said bad things about me. I think it’s good to ask him to sleep in the study tonight.”
Isabella did not know whether to laugh or cry. She said, “Mom, on account that this is his first offense, let’s just let it slide and let him off this time, okay?”
Jeanne snorted and was very dissatisfied. She glared at Draxton and said, “On account of Bella pleading for you, I’ll put it on record for you this time!”
Then, she looked at Jake and smiled. Before Jake could say anything, she walked forward and sized him up. She nodded in satisfaction. You must be Jake. What a handsome young man.”
Jake’s face turned red.
He wasn’t as nervous as when he was facing Philip. Although Jeanne was smiling, he felt that her smile was quite intimidating.
“Hello, mom.” Jake bowed slightly in respect.
Jeanne was stunned for a moment. Then, she could not help but smile. She reached out and patted Jake’s shoulder. “Alright, good boy. Don’t be nervous. It’s fine. We’re family.”
As she spoke, she sighed and looked at Jake, then at Olivia. Her eyes were filled with emotion.
Jeanne sighed. She turned around and said to the smiling Ava and Mia, “In the blink of an eye, Olivia is also getting married.”
Ava said, “That’s right, Jeanne. Not only have you become a grandma, but you’re also about to become a great-grandmother too. Look at Bella and Jake. Such good children.
“Jeanne, I’m really envious of you now. Your children put your mind at ease, unlike the two of mine back home who are still single at such an old age.”
Ava rolled her eyes with a vivid expression at her own twins.
Mia was not all that much better either. She turned around and said to Yale beside her, Stupid girl, you and Olivia are the same age. Olivia is
about to get married and become a mother. What about you? Where is your guy?”
Yale was confused.
“How tragic.
“Why did I come along in the first place?
“Was I looking for a beating?” she wondered.
Yale immediately hid beside Isabella and Olivia. Her face was scrunched up like a bitter gourd.
Fortunately, the three women’s attention was still on Jake. They surrounded Jake and asked questions. It was very lively.
Finally, Jeanne asked, When do you plan to get married? Before or after the child is born?”
Jake looked at Olivia.
