The Billionaire's Kick Ass Wife

Chapter 19 The Happy Family

Up to this point, Draxton, for the first time in his life, really felt that he had become a father.

Ricky, who looked like a mini version of him, was his child.

If nothing went wrong, Ricky would be his heir too.

"Good boy."

His smile broadened, and he reached out to ruffle Ricky's curly hair.

He did it gently, but Ricky felt that Draxton's big hand was powerful and warm.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

With a bemused look in Ricky's eyes, he quietly gazed at Draxton and wondered if every father was like this.

His eyes lit up.

The atmosphere was perfect.

Cooper stood in the corner, quietly looking at the cozy scene on the terrace.

Up to that point, he had never known that Draxton could be that tender.

He took a picture with the phone and sent the image to a chat group called The Happy Family.

Messages flooded the chat group immediately.

At the same time, the cell phone inside Draxton's pocket rang non-stop, indicating that he had received a lot of new messages.

Sir Graham Lockwood sent a message. [So this is my great-grandson and granddaughter-in-law?]

Madame Emma Lockwood sent a message. [That girl is so pretty, like me when I was younger.]

Draxton and Olivia's Dad sent a message. [Hey, Draxton, remember, this is your dad! Just because you're the chieftain now does not mean you can ignore your family! How come you never take my grandson to my place? You didn't even tell us! You're so ungrateful!]

Draxton and Olivia's Mom sent a message. [Draxton's wife is sure pretty, and that little boy, oh gosh! I have to steal him home! Oh, how I hate Draxton! How dare he not let me see my grandson! I want to punch him!]

I'm Olivia sent a message. [Boy, is this for real? Does my big brother have a wife and son? Since when? Don't tell me he stole them!]

Madame Emma Lockwood sent a message. [Nonsense! That little boy looked exactly like your brother when he was a kid!]

I'm Olivia sent a message. [I want a niece! That kid looked exactly like Draxton when he was young. I don't want a mini version of my big brother!]

The Second Son sent a message. [The Lockwood family has an heir now!]

The Third Son sent a message. [When are you going to let us see them? @Draxton Lockwood]

Ben Is Late sent a message. [I think we should all congratulate brother for being able to find a wife?] Little Balsam sent an emoji of congratulations.

Madame Emma Lockwood sent a message. [When are they going to take their son to meet us? @Cooper] Cooper sent a message. [Madame Emma Lockwood, Mr. Lockwood said Miss Thompson gets frightened easily. He's worried it may scare her if he suddenly takes her to your place, so I guess you all have to wait a while.]

Draxton glanced at the cell phone and then put it to the side. However, he did not spare it an extra look. People were still chatting in the group, but Draxton had no intention of replying. Draxton did not intend to call Cooper on that picture in the group too. From the beginning, he did not plan to hide Isabella and Ricky from his family.

He could take Isabella and Ricky to see his family but was afraid it might frighten Isabella.

After the morning tea, Draxton showed Isabella and Ricky around.

The estate was vast and even had a little flower field at the far end of the estate.

Apart from the flower field, there was a large kitchen garden too.

"That's Cooper's kitchen garden. Like lots of old men, he likes that stuff," explained Draxton to Isabella and Ricky.

"I think it's a pretty good hobby," said Isabella.

Ricky stayed silent. He and Isabella had gotten a kitchen garden in Lotus Village too. Apart from the kitchen garden, they also had a herb field containing all sorts of herbs, such as poisonous weeds. Then Draxton led them to see other facilities, such as a swimming pool and golf course, and in the end, they arrived at a large lawn.

Draxton looked at Ricky. "Dad's going to build an amusement park around this area. That is for you. We can come here and hang out in the future."

Ricky broke into a smile.

Silently, Isabella cast a few glances at Draxton.

Isabella could not believe that a busy man like Draxton would waste his time hanging out with Ricky and her like right now.

She thought that he should be focusing on his job.

Lowering her eyes, she had mixed feelings about what Draxton was doing now.

In the end, they went into the maple forest.

Ricky was a four-year-old little kid, after all. In the end, he was tired and had no strength to walk.

But Ricky had never shown his tiredness in front of his mother, so he decided to clench his teeth and soldier

on.

All of a sudden, he was being held in someone's arms. A pair of strong arms were looping around him. Ricky's eyes widened, and then he heard Draxton's hoarse chuckle. "Are you tired? Dad's going to carry you." In Draxton's arms, Ricky appreciated the beautiful scenery along the road and listened to his father and mother's conversation.

He looked serious, and there was a tinge of pink on his cheeks.

Ricky felt that Draxton's arms were a bit different from Isabella's.

Isabella's embrace was soft and warm, but Draxton's was solid and strong, making Ricky feel very safe.

When they returned from the maple forest, it was already noon, and lunch was ready.

When they were having lunch, Isabella caught sight of another robot maid, Lucy.

Up to that point, she had not seen the robot called Oliver.

After lunch, Ricky got sleepy. Isabella took a nap with Ricky. When she woke up, she did not see Draxton.

Cooper told her that Draxton had something to attend to.

This made Isabella feel relieved.

She returned to her room and shut the door, lolling about on her bed.

She narrowed her beautiful slim eyes and let her guard down, looking like a lazy girl.

She sent a text message to Jocelyn on Whatsapp and explained her and Ricky's current circumstances.

Jocelyn did not reply to her message immediately, presumably because she was attending to something.

Isabella dropped her phone and lay on the bed again. She looked at Ricky, who was still asleep, and leaned forward to kiss his cheek, and then she lay on her back again.

The next day morning, Isabella still did not see Draxton.

This pleased Isabella. She strolled around the garden with Ricky.

In the afternoon, however, Draxton once again showed up in front of Isabella.

Though Isabella looked careless and casual before, her face hardened again once she caught sight of Draxton.

This change of expression was very subtle to the point that people usually would not notice it, but Draxton's

blue eyes darkened a bit.

Isabella was told that Draxton worked at home in the afternoon. So she went to the garden and played with Ricky because both Ricky and she had nothing to do.

There was a swing in the garden. Because Isabella liked sitting on the swing, she sat on it and watched Ricky play games in the park.

Draxton sat on the terrace of the living room. Once he turned his head, he could see Isabella and Ricky in the garden.

At that moment, Cooper walked over and said, "Mr. Lockwood, Amelia Hart is here."

Cooper was expressionless, his tone flat.

Draxton was stunned for a second, seemingly thinking of who Amelia was.

"The daughter of Nathan Lockwood," Cooper reminded Draxton.

Draxton remained silent for a moment and said, "Bring her in."

And at the same time, outside the main gate of Northernville Manor, a middle-aged woman and a young girl were standing shoulder-to-shoulder in front of the face scanner at the main entrance. After checking Amelia's face, the gate opened. Amelia walked in, and the young girl behind her was also going to go through, but the gate shut again.

"Mom, I'm shut out!"

The young girl outside the door panicked.
