The billionaire's kick-ass wife novel (Isabella) novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139 Patriarch Riker’s Trick

In Northernville Manor.

Isabella and Jake sat on the balcony and chatted.

Isabella was holding a cup of hot milk. Draxton had sent it to her not long ago.

Jake also had a cup in front of him, but Jake did not touch it. He preferred to drink hard liquor.

However, Isabella checked Jake’s pulse and found that there were hidden injuries in his body that had yet to recover. So, Isabella didn’t allow him to drink.

“I’ll send you to the cemetery tomorrow,” Isabella said.

“Okay,” Jake said.

“How long do you plan to stay this time?” Isabella asked.

Jake narrowed his sharp eyes slightly and said, “I might stay longer this time.”

Isabella paused and said, “Looks like you’re already planning to make a move.”

Jake did not say anything. The atmosphere between the two of them fell silent.

No one said anything, and they just sat there. However, the atmosphere was harmonious and there was no awkwardness at all.

Draxton was handling official business in the study. He specially left space for the two of them to catch up.

Although Olivia still stayed in Northernville Manor and did not leave, she did not come out to disturb them.

Olivia was really noisy in her day-to-day life, but at critical moments, she had a sense of propriety.

“When will Master Vaughn return to Lotus Village?” After a while, Isabella asked.

“He’ll probably have to return later. He’s almost found out who the enemy who broke his leg back then was,” Jake said.

A cold light flashed across Isabella’s eyes. “I’m going overseas for a while.”

Jake nodded. “That’s good too. With you by his side, I can rest assured.”

The two of them chatted for a while. Isabella finished her milk and went upstairs to sleep. Jake also returned to his bedroom.

Early the next morning, Isabella sent Jake to the cemetery.

When they went out, they saw Olivia holding her phone and sitting in the living room in a daze.

Isabella went over and asked with concern, “Olivia, what’s wrong?”

Olivia came back to her senses with a complicated expression. “Ethan has returned to the country. He just called me and asked me to meet him.”

Isabella did not know who Ethan was, but she still asked, “One of the Riker family?”

Draxton walked over at that time and said in a deep voice, “Ethan is one of the Riker family. He had a good relationship with Olivia in his early years. He returned to the country at this time. It must be Patriarch Riker who asked him to do so.”

Isabella immediately understood something. She narrowed her eyes and sneered. “Olivia, what’s your attitude toward Ethan?”

If Olivia’s attitude toward Ethan was unusual, they would inevitably have some concerns about dealing with the Riker family.

Olivia snorted. “That depends on his attitude. I did have a good relationship with him in the past, but the good or bad relationship depends on his current attitude.

“1. Olivia Lockwood, am not the kind of fool who will be used by others.”

Isabella looked at Olivia appreciatively and said, “Olivia, you are so straightforward. I love you.”

Olivia blushed. She looked at Isabella with watery midnight blue eyes and said proudly, “Of course!” Isabella could not help but chuckle.

Olivia was very shy when she saw Isabella’s smile and went out with a red face.

Jake watched Olivia leave and chuckled. “Bella, Olivia is quite interesting.”

Isabella gave Jake a sidelong glance and said, “What do you mean by interesting? She even praised you for being handsome yesterday!”

Jake said casually, “I’m indeed handsome. Is there a need to praise me?”

Isabella could not help but roll her eyes. Jake didn’t even understand what Olivia meant. He deserved to be single.
