Chapter 136 A Man Falling Apart
“Big Brother, don’t be so fierce to me. I’m here to comfort Isabella,” Olivia said aggrievedly with her
hands supporting her chin.
Draxton gave her a deadpan look. “Isabella doesn’t need to be comforted. Besides, I’m here. It is I
instead of you who can comfort her. ”
Olivia said, “I heard that something happened to the Lang family. Big Brother, what’s going on? Isabella
doesn’t seem to be sad.”
“Why would Isabella be sad when something happened to the Lang family?” Draxton asked.
“Anyway, I don’t care. I’m not leaving today. I want to accompany Isabella,” Olivia said shamelessly.
Draxton said with a somber expression, “I think you just have nothing to do. Therefore, I’ll gather you and
other people later and assign missions to all of you.”
Olivia seemed to have heard something extremely terrifying. She was stunned and said in disbelief, “Big
Brother! Big Brother, I don’t understand what you mean.”
Draxton looked at her with a deadpan expression. “The Lockwood family is big and powerful. You and
other young people are old enough to share the burden of the family. Do you understand?”
Olivia felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
She thought in a daze that because she wanted to get close to Isabella, Draxton first planned to marry
her off and then wanted to find something for her to do. This was pure revenge.
Why hadn’t she noticed in the past twenty years that Draxton was so bad?
Glancing at Olivia arrogantly, Draxton finally felt happy.
He looked in the direction of Isabella in a good mood. She was talking on the phone with a bright smile.
Draxton was stunned. He had never seen her smile so brightly.
That smile showed a kind of relaxation and comfort that came from the bottom of her heart.
That was an expression that would appear only when she faced someone she trusted the most.
She had never smiled at him like this before!
Draxton looked down at Olivia. “Did you just say that the person calling Isabella was a man?”
Olivia was sad, for Draxton would arrange for her to do something. She had set up a Whatsapp group
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtand sent the bad news to all her siblings.
The people in the group were having a heated discussion.
Some people asked Olivia to plead for leniency, and other people asked her if she had offended Draxto,
thus implicating them. Anyway, Olivia did not have time to spare for Draxton.
She only said perfunctorily, “That’s right. The person calling Isabella is a man. According to his name, he
should be a young man.”
Draxton narrowed his eyes and gave her an unfriendly look.
Olivia was lowering her head to send a Whatsapp message. Though she did not notice his look, she felt
a
chill on her neck.
She shrunk her neck and looked up at Draxton uncertainly. Isabella had already hung up and was now
walking over with a happy expression.
Draxton returned to his normal expression and pretended to ask Isabella casually, “Are you done with the
call? Hurry up and have breakfast. The food is getting cold.”
Isabella nodded and lowered her head to have breakfast.
Draxton saw that she was only focused on eating and did not say who had called her. He was in a
contradictory mood. He wanted to ask who had called her and why she had been smiling so happily on
the phone
However, he was afraid that if he asked, he would be suspected of interfering with her privacy. He beat
around the bush and said, “Is the porridge cold? Would you like to have it heated up before eating? You
were
on the phone for a long time.”
Isabella said, “It’s not cold. The temperature is just right. It’s warm.”
Then, she continued eating.
Olivia looked up.
Draxton continued, “It’s been a long time since you returned to Lotus Village last time. When are you
going to bring your masters over to stay with us for some time?”
Isabella shook her head as she ate, saying, “No need. The masters have been used to a peaceful and
quiet life instead of a busy and prosperous one.”
Draxton’s fingers that were holding the fork tightened slightly. He said, “Actually, it’ll be all right for them
to come and stay for a while occasionally. Master Grey should like Dawton City.”
Isabella thought for a moment. “Well, I’ll ask her later.”
Isabella thought that Draxton was worried that she would feel uncomfortable because of the Lang family,
so he mentioned her masters.
Draxton continued, “Don’t your masters have any other disciples? Do you have any fellow apprentices?”
Having thought for a while, he realized that only a young man such as a senior brother or a junior brother
of hers could make her smile so happily.
Olivia looked at Daxton with an indescribable expression.
“If you want to ask, just ask. Why are you beating about the bush?” Oliva thought to herself and could not
understand what Draxton was doing.
Isabella said, “Yes, I do. You’ve only seen Grandmaster, Master Grey, and Mr. Langley. I’m their only
disciple. Both Master Vaughn and Master Menter have been out for something. They probably won’t
return to Lotus Village in a short time, so you haven’t seen them.
Master Menter only has me as her disciple. However, Master Vaughn has an adopted son, who has
inherited Master Vaughn’s skills, so he is equivalent to a disciple of Master Vaughn’s. He was the one
who called me just now.”
Isabella did have a senior brother!
Draxton tightened his grip on the fork and pretended to be nonchalant. “Oh, I see. I wonder what this
Master Vaughn is good at. He must be somebody. I’m afraid this senior brother is quite famous, too.”
Isabella did not notice his awkwardness at all and said, “Master Vaughn knows some fighting skills. I also
learned a few simple moves from him, but I’m not as good as Jake.
“By the way, Jake has come back from abroad. He said on the phone just now that he would arrive in
Dawton City tonight. Therefore, I’ll have to pick him up at the airport tonight.”
Draxton thought that he finally knew what was going on!
She even called him Jake so intimately.
Draxton asked, “What is his surname?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmId it?
If Isabella called him by his full name, that wouldn’t be considered intimate, would it?
“His surname is Quillon, He is called Jake Quillon. I believe that you will get along with him well after
meeting him,” Isabella said in a good mood.
Draxton was speechless.
“Why is it possible that I will get along well with him? Each of the scumbags on television hopes that his
wife will hit it off with his mistress Does Bella have the same idea?”
Draxton felt as if he had been about to fall apart.
Olivia laughed crazily in her heart.
She looked at Draxton gloatingly and turned around to hold Isabella’s hand intimately. She asked,
“Isabella, how about I go to the airport with you tonight?”
Isabella said, “All right.”
She thought that Olivia just wanted to stick to her.
“I happen to have nothing to do tonight. I’ll go, too.” Draxton put down his fork and wiped his mouth
elegantly
with a tissue.
Isabella said, “No problem.”
Olivia had a good reason to stay at the Northernville Manor, for they were going to the airport at night.
Then she went riding with Isabella.
The two of them spent the entire day together. Olivia was puzzled. Why didn’t Draxton appear? Why was
he so magnanimous as to let her be together with Isabella?
In the end, as they were about to go out, Olivia was almost dazzled by what she was seeing.
Isabella was extremely stunned, too. She suppressed the shock that flashed across her eyes and said,
“Draxton, why do you…”
Draxton, who had always looked composed because of his being dressed in black and gray, was now
wearing a sapphire blue casual suit. He had had his hair cut. He usually wore his hair in such a way that
he looked. composed and capable. But now, his hair was slightly messy, and a few strands of hair
scattered in front of his forehead. He looked less mature and experienced but more unruly and
handsome.
He looked even younger.
In addition, Isabella was nearly dazzled by his shiny black gem tie clip and diamond cufflinks.
The corners of her mouth twitched. For a moment, she did not know what to say.
