Chapter 218 Jeanne is Angry

Isabella retracted her gaze and did not speak.

Draxton walked over to the window and glanced down. He then said calmly, “The Langley family comes to pay their new year greetings to my grandparents every year”

Isabella said, “That’s nice of them.”

Draxton held her hand and said, “Let’s go downstairs and take a look.”

The two of them went to the living room. Patriarch Lockwood was not there. Only Madame Emma Lockwood

and Jeanne were there.

The three members of the Langley family were enthusiastically greeting Madame Emma Lockwood and wishing her a happy new year.

“Mrs Lockwood, we brought this local specialty here all the way from Hamilson City. There are also two wild ginsengs.”

Shawn said carefully and he fawned over them.

Cressida smiled quietly. It was a really gentle smile.

She then took out a silk scarf and said, “Madame Lockwood, this is a scarf I embroidered myself. I hope you’ll like it”

Madame Emma Lockwood glanced at her and said, “Oh my. I didn’t know that the young lady of the Langley family knew how to embroider.”

Kim smiled and continued, “Madame Lockwood, the Langley family still has some ancient traditions. Not only does Cressida know how to embroider, but she also knows how to play the piano and chess, draw, and write calligraphy.”

Cressida lowered her head in embarrassment, but the corners of her lips were curled up slightly.

She was from a scholarly family, hence she was a well–bred young lady. She was not someone the Lockwood family’s two daughters–in–law could compare to.

Elodia was even worse. She came from a humble family background and did not receive a good education.

As for Draxton’s wife, she had children out of wedlock. If word got out, people would look down on her.

Cressida wasn’t like any of them. At this thought, she straightened her back proudly.

Madame Emma Lockwood did not take the scarf. She only glanced at it and said gently but slightly distantly, “Thank you, Cressida. That’s nice of you.”

She did not say anything else.

Cressida was holding out her scarf, and she froze on the spot.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Kim’s face. Just as she was at a loss of what to do, Jeanne took the scarf with a smile and praised, “This scarf is really beautiful. Cressida is really good with her hands. Kim, do invite the guests to sit.”

This saved Kim from embarrassment, and she smiled and said, “Everyone, take a seat,”

Only then did the Langley family sit. They came every year, so they were not reserved.

At this moment, Draxton and Isabella came downstairs.

The Langley family immediately looked at Isabella.

The moment they saw Isabella’s face, they were stunned.

So that was how it was. No wonder Draxton liked her. She was a stunner.

Cressida couldn’t help but feel jealous.

Cressida thought that she herself was a rare beauty. Most importantly, she was well–educated, so her temperament was naturally extraordinary.

She did not expect the woman Draxton married to be so… So…

She didn’t know how to describe it.

She was unlike any other woman she had ever met.

“Bella, come and sit.” Seeing Isabella, Madame Emma Lockwood smiled and patted the seat beside her.

Isabella walked over with a smile and sat down. At the same time, she smiled and nodded at the Langley family without saying anything.

Draxton nodded indifferently.

In terms of status, it was their honor that Draxton could look at them or recognize them.

The Langley family was naturally used to Draxton’s attitude.

However, Isabella behaved the same way. They could not help but feel indignant.

“How rude,” Cressida muttered in an almost imperceptible whisper.

Perhaps she was too greedy. She had food and water and did not have to worry about money. She even dreamed of getting the love and protection of her husband and in–laws.

“Kim, what are you saying? Do you have any misunderstandings about Bella?”
