The billionaire's kick-ass wife novel (Isabella) novel Chapter 55

Chapter 55 Stalk

When Isabella Thompson heard Draxton Lockwood say that, she blinked his eyes in surprise. What did Draxton mean by he couldn’t wait for someone to snatch the chieftain position from him?

At first, she thought Draxton was the only normal person in the Lockwood family, but now it seemed that she was overthinking things.

Then she chuckled for seemingly no reason.

Draxton was a little displeased when he saw her laugh. “Are you that happy that I’m leaving?”

Isabella saw him looking at her accusingly and couldn’t help but stand on her tiptoes. She reached out and rubbed the top of his head. “Don’t be angry. I just think you’re really cute.”

“Cute?” Draxton narrowed his eyes dangerously. That praise did not make him happy at all.

Isabella tilted her head and looked at him with her clear, dark eyes.

“No, I mean that you’re mighty and powerful!” she quickly corrected herself. Her small face was stern, and her bright eyes flickered with a hint of flattery.

A trace of a smile flashed across Draxton’s eyes, but he still maintained a poker face. He carried her up and walked upstairs. “Alright, I’ll let you experience what it means to be mighty and powerful!”

Isabella looked at him pitifully. Her eyes were watery as she silently begged for mercy.

Draxton suddenly felt his blood boil.

Cooper watched as the two of them disappeared around the corner of the stairs. He sighed in relief. It was good to be young!

The two of them spent the entire morning together and Draxton set off in the afternoon.

When Isabella picked up Ricky from kindergarten, she saw Ricky surrounded by two cleaners. It was strange

to see.

One of the cleaners was holding Ricky’s small school bag, and the other was holding a thermos flask. He was coaxing Ricky to take a sip of water.

Those who didn’t know better would think that two bad guys were trying to kidnap a little child.

In fact, it was similar to kidnapping.

At this moment, the old janitor said, “Little Ricky, let’s call Mom and Dad and tell them that you want to visit your new friend’s house. You won’t be going back today!”

Sir Graham Lockwood, who was holding Ricky’s bag, coaxed Ricky tenderly.

Madame Emma Lockwood glared at the old man. “Nonsense. Ricky’s too young. His parents will be worried if he stayed over at his friend’s house!”

After reprimanding him, Madame Emma Lockwood turned to Ricky with a different attitude. Gently, she coaxed, “Ricky, little baby, tell Mom and Dad that you miss great-grandpa and great-grandma very much and that you want to go back to the ancestral home to visit them, so you won’t be going home today. Tomorrow, great-grandpa and great-grandma will send you to school.”

Ricky did not know how he should reply to this.

Ricky pursed his lips and revealed a helpless expression.

When he went to school today, he had a very strange feeling that a cleaner was spying on him. When he found them, they hid from him again.

Then once school was over, the two cleaners surrounded him.

Ricky looked at their eager expressions, and his little face was filled with helplessness.

Then suddenly, his eyes lit up, and his face brightened.

“Mommy!” he called out softly.

Isabella smiled gently and walked toward the trio.

Sir Graham Lockwood and Madame Emma Lockwood turned their heads stiffly. When they saw Isabella Thompson, an uncomfortable expression flashed across their faces.

“Great-grandpa, great-grandma… Isabella was at a loss.

Sir Graham Lockwood and Madame Emma Lockwood suppressed their discomfort and puffed out their chests. “We’re just here to see Ricky.”

The old man’s face was solemn.
