Chapter 597
Philip was stunned.
Although he knew that his daughter had a boyfriend, that she was even pregnant and about to get married, this prospective son-in-law just appeared in front of him and even called him dad. It was... too sudden for him!
He silently stroked his frightened heart, then looked at Jake with an expressionless face, sizing Jake up and trying to find faults.
"Yes, he is quite burly and... quite handsome. He has only one-tenth of my charm back then, I guess!
"Besides, this kid seems quite reliable. Even if I’m not believing this kid, if Bella vouches for him, I guess this kid's character shouldn't be too bad.
"Most importantly, my daughter likes him.
"Just barely enough then," Philip thought.
However, he could not bring himself to just open his mouth and return the greeting for a long time.
It was quite embarrassing.
Moreover, Philip deemed that he had to exude a dignified aura to let this kid know of his prestige.
He deemed that in the future, the person with the lowest status in this family would no longer be him.
Finally, there was someone at the bottom.
Philip's face was stiff. He looked cold and was not easy to get along with.
Jake thought that Philip did not like him. His eyes darkened and his mind raced. Countless ways to snatch Olivia from the Lockwood family flashed through his mind.
However, this thought only flashed across his mind. Before he could think of anything else, Wilson and Macpherson came over excitedly.
The two of them patted Jake's shoulders. Wilson said happily, "Hey, the kid seems quite strong. I wonder who's stronger, if he were to be compared to Bella here?"
Jake was stunned for a moment, wondering if that was a compliment.
Looking at Isabella, Isabella's face turned completely dark and dull.
She felt that the next time Wilson came to ask her for advice on how to plant medicinal herbs, she wouldn't teach him anymore.
She couldn't believe how could a weak and delicate woman like her be compared to a tall man like Jake.
Isabella felt deeply insulted. To a certain extent, the way that Betty thought that she had the personality of a little angel was quite similar to Isabella.
Isabella also felt that she was a delicate and gentle beauty for a time!
She didn't expect that after a trip to Southeast Aelinne, everything would change.
"Wilson, this kid must be the more powerful one. Young man, your name is Jake, right? You're Bella's elder brother?"
Jake nodded and looked at the expressionless Philip, who looked extremely cold.
In the end, he realized that Philip's expression was even uglier than before.
At this moment, the anger in Philip's heart surged.
"Jake is my future son-in-law, right? What the hell are Wilson and Macpherson doing, sticking their noses in like that?" Philip thought.
He hadn't even spoken much to his future son-in-law!
Jake, on the other hand, did not know what Philip was thinking. He thought that Philip really did not like him, and he also thought that the two people who seemed enthusiastic now were actually planning to teach him a lesson.
Jake was extremely nervous and could not help but look at Isabella for help.
No matter what, Bella would definitely be on his side.
At the very least, Draxton did not object to him being with Olivia.
Jake thought that perhaps the Lockwood family's three elders were planning to give him some tests.
His mind was a mess. It was mainly because Jake was nervous. At this moment, he was completely flustered. Otherwise, he would have understood that if the Lockwood family didn't like someone, they simply couldn't be bothered with said someone. They would have even stopped Olivia from interacting with him long ago.
At this moment, Macpherson said, 'You're Bella's elder brother. What would the relationship between you and Draxton be in the future?
