Chapter 138 Ethan Comes Back
“Mr. Lockwood, you are too polite. Compared to you, the dignified patriarch of the Lockwood family, I can only be considered an unemployed person. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be unable to protect Bella and make her hide in Lotus Village with the children for five years, unable to leave,” Jake said calmly with a mocking smile.
The five years of pursuit of killing Isabella was indeed an undeniable fact that Draxton could not deny.
However, Draxton was the dignified patriarch of the Lockwood family. How could he willingly be mocked just
because of this?
Draxton said shamelessly, “That’s true. If Bella had left Lotus Village earlier and taken responsibility for me, I wouldn’t have chased after Bella for five years.
“Now, Bella and I are husband and wife. She has already been responsible for what she did to me back then. I naturally won’t pursue the past. After all, I’m already her husband.”
Jake’s handsome face froze, and he could barely to hold on it anymore. Stunned, Jake looked at Draxton. It turned out that in his heart, Draxton had chased after Bella for five years because Bella had slept with him and not taken responsibility for it. Draxton actually thought he was in the right!
How could the dignified patriarch of the Lockwood family really say such shameless words? Although it seemed to make sense, as a man, did Draxton not care about his reputation?
If there was a loss, it should be Bella who suffered a loss, right?
Olivia was also speechless. Draxton was so shameless that stunned Olivia, but she was proud
Olivia looked at Jake smugly Jake’s trick would not work Isabella could only belong to the Lockwood family. It was useless for Jake to be picky no matter how!
Isabella, on the other end, chuckled Draxton was getting more and more careless about his image.
When Jake heard Isabella’s laughter, he glared at her angrily Back then, Isabella was the one who was forced into such a miserable state. But now, she could still have the mood to laugh
However, Jake could tell that Isabella lived well here
Since that was the case, Jake would not harp on the past to add to Isabella’s worries.
The atmosphere in the car gradually became harmonious Draxton took the opportunity to say, “Jake, are you here to visit Bella? If you have anything else to do, feel free to tell me. I’ll definitely help if I can.”
Jake’s eyes darkened. “Firstly, I am here to visit Bella. Secondly, I have some personal matters to deal with. There’s no need to trouble you, Mr. Lockwood.”
Hearing Jake’s words, Draxton stopped asking.
What they didn’t know was that just as they left the airport, another car arrived.
Lindon and Shane drove to a stop. They looked in the direction the Lockwood family’s car had left with a hint of doubt in their eyes.
“It’s so strange. That seems to be the Lockwood family’s car. Could it be that the Lockwood family is also here to pick someone up?” Shane murmured softly.
Lindon’s eyes lit up. “Could it be that Ethan has contacted Olivia? Olivia knew that Ethan was coming back today, so she specially came to the airport to see him?”
Shane felt that it was unlikely, but other than that, they really could not find the reason why the Lockwood family came to the airport.
“Maybe we’re mistaken. That’s probably not the Lockwood family’s car,” Shane said.
Ethan got off the plane and soon found Lindon and Shane in the crowd. He didn’t look too good, but he was still smiling.
“Uncle Lindon, Shane, I’m here.” Ethan greeted them.
Shane looked at Ethan with a complicated expression and smiled. “It’s good that you’re back. You’re tired, right?”
“A little.”
