Chapter 136 A Man Falling Apart
“Big Brother, don’t be so fierce to me. I’m here to comfort Isabella,” Olivia said aggrievedly with her hands supporting her chin.
Draxton gave her a deadpan look. “Isabella doesn’t need to be comforted. Besides, I’m here. It is I instead of you who can comfort her. ”
Olivia said, “I heard that something happened to the Lang family. Big Brother, what’s going on? Isabella doesn’t seem to be sad.”
“Why would Isabella be sad when something happened to the Lang family?” Draxton asked.
“Anyway, I don’t care. I’m not leaving today. I want to accompany Isabella,” Olivia said shamelessly. Draxton said with a somber expression, “I think you just have nothing to do. Therefore, I’ll gather you and other people later and assign missions to all of you.”
Olivia seemed to have heard something extremely terrifying. She was stunned and said in disbelief, “Big Brother! Big Brother, I don’t understand what you mean.”
Draxton looked at her with a deadpan expression. “The Lockwood family is big and powerful. You and other young people are old enough to share the burden of the family. Do you understand?”
Olivia felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
She thought in a daze that because she wanted to get close to Isabella, Draxton first planned to marry her off and then wanted to find something for her to do. This was pure revenge.
Why hadn’t she noticed in the past twenty years that Draxton was so bad?
Glancing at Olivia arrogantly, Draxton finally felt happy.
He looked in the direction of Isabella in a good mood. She was talking on the phone with a bright smile.
Draxton was stunned. He had never seen her smile so brightly.
That smile showed a kind of relaxation and comfort that came from the bottom of her heart.
That was an expression that would appear only when she faced someone she trusted the most.
She had never smiled at him like this before!
Draxton looked down at Olivia. “Did you just say that the person calling Isabella was a man?”
Olivia was sad, for Draxton would arrange for her to do something. She had set up a Whatsapp group and sent the bad news to all her siblings.
The people in the group were having a heated discussion.
Some people asked Olivia to plead for leniency, and other people asked her if she had offended Draxto, thus implicating them. Anyway, Olivia did not have time to spare for Draxton.
She only said perfunctorily, “That’s right. The person calling Isabella is a man. According to his name, he should be a young man.”
Draxton narrowed his eyes and gave her an unfriendly look.
Olivia was lowering her head to send a Whatsapp message. Though she did not notice his look, she felt a
chill on her neck.
She shrunk her neck and looked up at Draxton uncertainly. Isabella had already hung up and was now walking over with a happy expression.
Draxton returned to his normal expression and pretended to ask Isabella casually, “Are you done with the call? Hurry up and have breakfast. The food is getting cold.”
Isabella nodded and lowered her head to have breakfast.
Draxton saw that she was only focused on eating and did not say who had called her. He was in a contradictory mood. He wanted to ask who had called her and why she had been smiling so happily on the phone
However, he was afraid that if he asked, he would be suspected of interfering with her privacy. He beat around the bush and said, “Is the porridge cold? Would you like to have it heated up before eating? You were
on the phone for a long time.”
Isabella said, “It’s not cold. The temperature is just right. It’s warm.”
Then, she continued eating.
Olivia looked up.
Draxton continued, “It’s been a long time since you returned to Lotus Village last time. When are you going to bring your masters over to stay with us for some time?”
Isabella shook her head as she ate, saying, “No need. The masters have been used to a peaceful and quiet life instead of a busy and prosperous one.”
