Chapter 216 The Langley Family Is Here
Ricky said, “I shouldn’t have given second great–grandpa and Key the ravioli filled with mustard.”
Isabella looked at his tightly pursed lips and knew that although he said that, he was still unhappy.
Isabella could not help but kiss his little face. She lifted him into her arms and walked to the small couch to sit down.
Isabella said, “Is it because second great–grandpa was fierce to Mom, so you wanted to give him mustard ravioli to teach him a lesson?”
Ricky looked up and nodded seriously.
Isabella’s eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. “Mommy also thinks that second great–grandpa is too much. Mommy has long wanted to teach him a lesson, but I didn’t expect you to beat Mommy to it.”
Ricky was surprised.
He widened his eyes in shock, which was really cute.
Draxton had just walked over to them while holding Betty’s hand. When he heard this, he almost tripped.
He also widened his eyes and looked at Isabella. Was it okay for her to say this to the children?
Isabella continued, “You gave Kieran the mustard ravioli because he said something that made your sister unhappy, right?”
Ricky nodded again.
Isabella asked, “Then does Ricky know why Mom deliberately ate Key’s mustard ravioli?”
A hint of doubt appeared in Ricky’s midnight blue eyes.
Isabella smiled and said, “Because Key is also small like you. If he ate the mustard ravioli, there’s a high chance that he would choke. If it accidentally got stuck in his windpipe, it would be very dangerous.”
“Second great–grandpa is an adult so he knows how to take care of himself, but Key is still a child so it would be very dangerous.”
Ricky’s small face gradually revealed a serious expression.
Isabella said, “Therefore, even if we want to teach others a lesson, we have to be careful. If teaching them a lesson causes their lives to be in danger, it will be our fault if we aren’t able to save them.”
Ricky nodded solemnly.
“Mom, I understand. In the future, when I teach others a lesson, I will definitely be careful.”
Isabella smiled and gave him a thumbs–up. “Smart boy!”
“Mom, I also heard what you said. When I fight Key, I won’t beat him to death,” Betty said.
“Betty, please don’t beat him to death!” Isabella did not know whether to laugh or cry.
The corners of Draxton’s mouth twitched. For a moment, he did not know how to react. His wife and children were not people to be trifled with!
Draxton squatted down and looked at the two children. “Second great–grandpa and Key are just a little old–fashioned. Although what they said was unpleasant, they didn’t mean any harm, so we just have to teach them a small lesson.”
Ricky and Betty nodded obediently.
In two days, it would be New Year’s Eve. Over the past few days, Wilson and Macpherson’s family members had also arrived at the Lockwood family’s residence.
Seeing Isabella, Ava and Mia’s eyes lit up. They warmly invited Isabella to sit down.
Jeanne smiled and teased, “Look at the two of you. You’re even more enthusiastic to see Bella than me. Bella is clearly my daughter–in–law.”
“Jeanne, Bella is your daughter–in–law, but she’s also our niece–in–law!”
Mia said with a smile.
“Mia is right,” Ava agreed.
Jeanne could not help but laugh heartily, then she said to Isabella, “Bella, then accompany your aunts. It’s just that you haven’t spoken to me a lot after you came back.”
Jeanne sounded envious.
Isabella smiled. “I see you often. I can talk to you any day, but I don’t see Aunt Ava and Aunt Mia often. Of course, I have to seize the opportunity to talk to them more.”
“If you think you’re losing out, I’ll bring my pillow to your room and sleep with you tonight.”
When Jeanne heard this, she immediately looked horrified. “It’s fine. You don’t need to sleep with me. Otherwise, Draxton will come to settle scores with me the next day.”
Everyone burst into laughter.
Kim Langley and Elodia sat at the side without saying a word.
Kim could not help but frown as she looked at Jeanne and the others who were chatting and laughing.
