Chapter 48 Naughty Parent

Isabella Thompson looked into the man’s midnight blue eyes silently and nodded awkwardly.

“Yes,” she replied.

Then, she could not help but look at Madame Emma Lockwood, who had been blinking at her. Madame Emma Lockwood was squinting her eyes to the point of cramping Isabella tried to suppress the corners of her lips and not laugh.

The man seemed to have sensed something and turned to look at Madame Emma Lockwood with a dark expression. There was finally a hint of helplessness in his voice. “Mom-”

Mom…

Isabella felt even more awkward.

Earlier at the rockery, she thought that servants had stolen food from the main family. In the end, they were caught by people like the butler and were taught a lesson.

However, the truth was….

Madame Emma Lockwood ignored the man’s black face and ran to Isabella Thompson’s side with steady steps as if he had seen his savior. He stuffed a piece of chocolate cake that he had been hiding in his hand into Isabella Thompson’s hand.

Madame Emma Lockwood raised her chin at the man like a proud child. “Look, look, I have such foresight. I knew long ago that my granddaughter-in-law was coming, so I waited for her here with the cake. Stupid son, go away quickly. Not only do I have a daughter-in-law to stand up for me, but I also have a granddaughter-in-law now…”

Madame Emma Lockwood’s curly hair curled up proudly.

The veins on the man’s forehead throbbed, and his face was dark. He said angrily, “Mom, are you being reasonable by stealing desserts? Have you forgotten the doctor’s instructions? You have to steal desserts every day. Count how many cakes you’ve stolen this week?”

“Even if I ate it secretly in the past, I really came here today to wait for my granddaughter-in-law. If you don’t believe me, ask my granddaughter-in-law!”

Madame Emma Lockwood directly pulled Isabella over as a shield.

The man’s face was dignified and cold as he looked at Isabella threateningly.

Isabella had a deadpan expression. She carried the cake and took two steps away from Madame Emma Lockwood. “Grandma, I didn’t tell you that I was coming today. It’s wrong of you to eat secretly.”

Her expression was serious.

Madame Emma Lockwood was speechless.

Her granddaughter-in-law was too disrespectful!

She widened her eyes in disbelief and looked at Isabella with a hurt expression.

Isabella returned the favor with a deadpan exterior.

The man raised his eyebrows in surprise. He did not expect Isabella to go against Madame Emma Lockwood. Logically speaking, shouldn’t she say a few good words to appease Madame Emma Lockwood first?

Isabella took a bite of the cake in her hand. Then, she narrowed his eyes in enjoyment. Under Madame Emma Lockwood’s widened eyes, she said, “It smells so good. No wonder you wanted to eat it secretly!”

Madame Emma Lockwood looked at her and swallowed silently.

Isabella took another bite of the cake without any sympathy and said in enjoyment, “Grandma, we’ve been caught stealing food. We have to find a decent excuse. If there’s really no decent excuse, we have to be bold and take responsibility. At most, we’ll be careful not to be caught the next time we steal food.”

Due to the fact that the man opposite him was too fierce, Isabella did not intend to be polite to him. She directly instigated Madame Emma Lockwood.

Madame Emma Lockwood’s aggrieved eyes suddenly lit up at this moment. She looked at Isabella excitedly and said, “Good granddaughter-in-law, can you help grandma steal the cake next time?”

“How dare she!”

Before Isabella could speak, the man on the other side spoke.

With a dark expression, he glared at Isabella. “Try it if you dare!”

“Grandma, this uncle is too fierce. He’s a little scary.” Isabella blinked at Madame Emma Lockwood and hid behind her while eating the cake.

Madame Emma Lockwood felt a sense of accomplishment from the little girl. She felt she should shoulder the great responsibility of protecting her granddaughter-in-law and fighting against evil forces like her son till the end

She puffed out her chest and said, “How dare you scold my granddaughter-in-law? If you scare my granddaughter-in-law away, my grandson will have no wife. Can you take responsibility?”

The man did not know what to say.

It seemed the man was fuming mad. “Mom, you can’t pamper her. It’s her first time here today. If you pamper her like this, won’t she be high off one’s ass in the future?”

Madame Emma Lockwood snorted. “So what if I dote on her? That’s how I doted on my daughter-in-law back then. Now, I still have to dote on my granddaughter-in-law!”

The man sneered. “Don’t think someone will take your side even if you be like this! Hmph, I’ll tell you the truth. Your eldest daughter-in-law secretly reported to me that you secretly ate snacks today!”

Madame Emma Lockwood was instantly furious. “My, I doted on them for nothing in the past. Now, all of them are complaining about me!”

After saying that, she turned to look at Isabella. “My granddaughter-in-law, you can’t learn from those heartless people. In the future, you must get grandma some cupcakes!”

Isabella nodded repeatedly and said with a smile, “Yes, yes. grandma, don’t worry. I’ll definitely help you eat cupcakes every day.”

With that, she took another bite of the cake. She was happy to help!

Madame Emma Lockwood had no idea that there was a trap in Isabella’s words. She immediately looked at the man smugly.

The man’s face darkened as he charged at Isabella Thompson. “This is your first time here. You’re too bold. Aren’t you afraid of angering me? What if you aren’t allowed into the family?”

Isabella looked at the man calmly and turned to Madame Emma Lockwood with a pitiful expression.

Madame Emma Lockwood immediately understood. She picked up a branch beside him and swung it at the

man.

“How dare you bully my granddaughter-in-law? And not let me eat cake? Unfilial son…”

The more Madame Emma Lockwood spoke, the angrier she became. When she got to the part where she was not allowed to eat cake, she felt even more sorrowful. When she whipped the man, she did not go easy on

him at all.

The man clutched his head and scurried away.

Draxton looked at the man who ran out from behind the rockery with his head in his hands. He cried out in surprise, “Dad? Why did you make grandma angry?”

Draxton was speechless. He did not know what his father had done to make Madame Emma Lockwood fly into a rage to the point of whipping someone with a branch.

Ricky also raised his head and looked curiously at the miserable grandpa.

The man was running with his head lowered when he met Ricky’s gaze.

The man’s serious and embarrassed expression froze.

Then, he slowly opened his mouth and revealed an extremely stiff smile.

He wanted to smile kindly, but in the end, this smile was uglier than crying.

It was mainly because his current situation was not exactly dignified.

Ricky pursed his lips and said, “Daddy’s daddy, don’t force yourself if you can’t smile.”

Philip Lockwood’s smile froze.

At this moment, Madame Emma Lockwood, who was chasing after Philip with a branch, could not help but be stunned when she saw Ricky.

She raised the branch and forgot about chasing Philip down. She looked at Ricky with sparkling eyes, and her cheeks flushed with excitement.

Madame Emma Lockwood said in surprise, “Ricky, you’re Ricky, right?”

Ricky looked at the excited grandma and nodded obediently. He said in a meek voice, “Yes, my name is Ricky, grandma.”

“Great-grandma, I’m your great-grandma!” Madame Emma Lockwood exclaimed.

Madame Emma Lockwood squatted down and opened her arms. “Ricky, come give great-grandma a hug! Hurry!”

Ricky looked at Madame Emma Lockwood shyly and stood still.

Philip had already returned to his senses. He looked at the cute and exquisite child, and the stiff expression on his face had turned serious. He also opened his arms to the child and squatted down. “I’m grandpa, Ricky. Hurry up and come into grandpa’s arms!”

He looked at Little Ricky expectantly.
