Chapter 599
"Sleeping on the floor? Sleeping in the study?' Jake wondered.
Jake was in disbelief.
"This was actually a super trap?
"Could it be that I'm going to replace my father-in-law in sleeping in the study in the future?" Jake thought.
Seeing that Jake looked like he had been struck by lightning, Olivia burst out laughing. She said, Jake, don't worry. Even if dad passed his treasure to you, it doesn't mean that you have to sleep in the study in the future. After all, dad doesn't have a shot in the matter. Mom does!"
Jake was stunned. That's right, he had yet to meet Olivia's other family members.
Isabella said to Draxton with interest, "Draxton, who do you think is more likely to sleep in the study in the future, dad or Jake?"
Draxton said without hesitation, "That depends on mom and Olivia's decision."
Isabella was deep in thought. Then, she teased him, "Then who will be the one calling the shots in our family?"
Draxton's expression froze. "Bella, don't pick up this bad habit from my mom."
Isabella was overjoyed, but Draxton's dark blue eyes looked at her nervously.
He said, "Bella, I won't do anything to make you angry, so I won't have the chance to sleep in the study."
"Hehe..."
A cold laugh came from the door. Jeanne, Ava, Mia, and Yale were all standing at the door.
Yale looked at Draxton sympathetically and thought to himself, "Draxton, if you speak louder, the entire courtyard will hear you badmouthing your mom.' "Draxton, good job. I didn't expect you to set me up behind my back like this. Tell me, what bad habits do I have?"
Jeanne walked in graciously. Her beautiful eyes fixed on Draxton with an ambiguous faint smile.
Draxton's expressionless face completely stiffened.
Isabella's lips twitched.
Just as Draxton was about to plead for leniency, Jeanne said, "Bella, he said bad things about me. I think it's good to ask him to sleep in the study tonight." Isabella did not know whether to laugh or cry. She said, "Mom, on account that this is his first offense, let's just let it slide and let him off this time, okay?" Jeanne snorted and was very dissatisfied. She glared at Draxton and said, "On account of Bella pleading for you, I'll put it on record for you this time!" Then, she looked at Jake and smiled. Before Jake could say anything, she walked forward and sized him up. She nodded in satisfaction. You must be Jake. What a handsome young man."
Jake's face turned red.
He wasn't as nervous as when he was facing Philip. Although Jeanne was smiling, he felt that her smile was quite intimidating.
"Hello, mom." Jake bowed slightly in respect.
Jeanne was stunned for a moment. Then, she could not help but smile. She reached out and patted Jake's shoulder. "Alright, good boy. Don't be nervous. It's fine. We're family."
As she spoke, she sighed and looked at Jake, then at Olivia. Her eyes were filled with emotion.
Jeanne sighed. She turned around and said to the smiling Ava and Mia, "In the blink of an eye, Olivia is also getting married."
Ava said, "That's right, Jeanne. Not only have you become a grandma, but you're also about to become a great-grandmother too. Look at Bella and Jake. Such good children. "Jeanne, I'm really envious of you now. Your children put your mind at ease, unlike the two of mine back home who are still single at such an old age."
Ava rolled her eyes with a vivid expression at her own twins.
Mia was not all that much better either. She turned around and said to Yale beside her, Stupid girl, you and Olivia are the same age. Olivia is
about to get married and become a mother. What about you? Where is your guy?"
Yale was confused.
"How tragic.
"Why did I come along in the first place?
"Was I looking for a beating?" she wondered.
Yale immediately hid beside Isabella and Olivia. Her face was scrunched up like a bitter gourd.
Fortunately, the three women's attention was still on Jake. They surrounded Jake and asked questions. It was very lively.
Finally, Jeanne asked, When do you plan to get married? Before or after the child is born?"
Jake looked at Olivia.
Olivia said, "Mom, we plan to register our marriage first. We'll hold the wedding after the child is born."
Jake also said, "It's mainly because Olivia suffered a lot during the early stages of her pregnancy. Sometimes, she's not in good spirits. But don't worry, Mom. With Bella around, her body will still be fine. "Coincidentally, we plan to go back to Lotus Village. Master Falkona would always be available to check on her anytime."
Jeanne's heart raced and calmed. She knew what had happened in Southeast Aelinne between Olivia and Jake. It was precisely because she knew that she felt even worse. Her beloved daughter, a treasure that was doted on and never once scolded since she was young, was treated as a test subject by those people. It hurt just thinking about it.
Jeanne took a deep breath and calmed her emotions. Alright, go ahead. Come back early. Go and see your grandma and grandpa later, then get some rest Bella and Draxton's wedding.'
Jake and Draxton nodded in agreement.
The two of them stayed in the Lockwood family's place for two more days before getting up and heading for Lotus Village.
In the next few days, Isabella also became busy.
She began to answer calls nonstop.
The first one was Fernando. Knowing that she was going to hold a wedding, Fernando called to ask about it and requested to attend. Isabella naturally could not refuse.
Then, there was Floyd.
Floyd's tone was very bitter. "Why didn't you inform me that you were going to hold a wedding?*
Isabella didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She said, "Don't be anxious. I was about to call you. Of course, I have to inform you." After comforting Floyd, she hung up and the very next second, Malakai called.
Isabella answered the call. Then, Jared's call came in.
Isabella's phone was about to run out of battery after answering the calls. In the end, the phone actually ran out of battery. Isabella heaved a sigh of relief.
After some thought, she resigned herself to her fate and picked up her phone to charge it. She then called Mystical Island. Master Grey and Landon had to be notified.
As soon as she turned on her phone, a call came from the Andrews family.
The caller was Harlow.
Harlow's tone was very flattering. "Miraculous Doctor, I heard that you're going to hold a wedding with Mr. Lockwood. I wonder if I have the honor to attend?"
two days. But you have to come back bet
Isabella was about to reply when she heard the Andrews family's patriarch's voice. "Harlow, who are you calling? His Majesty just told me that the Miraculous Doctor and Mr. Lockwood are holding a wedding. Hurry up and call Mr. Lockwood. We have to attend their wedding."
Harlow removed the receiver and replied, *I'm calling now."
Then he said to Isabella, 'Miraculous Doctor, did you hear that? My father and I really want to go to your wedding.'All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
Isabella smiled and said, "Draxton and I are very happy that you guys can come."
Harlow said a few more words, and then they ended the call.
As soon as Harlow hung up, the Andrews family's patriarch said, "Harlow, did the Miraculous Doctor answer the call? Why didn't you call Mr.
Lockwood's private number?"
Harlow's expression immediately changed. He said to his father with a serious expression, "Father, I actually called Miraculous Doctor's private number." The patriarch was a little surprised and said, "Why? Will Mr. Lockwood be unhappy if you do this?"
Surprised, Harlow said, "Why would he be unhappy? Besides, the person I'm trying to please is the Miraculous Doctor, not the Lockwood family."
The patriarch was stunned. "Didn't you say last time that you wanted us to befriend the Lockwood family?
"Harlow, although the Miraculous Doctor and Mr. Lockwood are family, it's more formal for you to call Mr. Lockwood at such a time.
"After all, Mr. Lockwood is the patriarch of the Lockwood family. Although the Miraculous Doctor is the patriarch's wife, her status could not surpass Mr. Lockwood. "Didn't you please the wrong person?"
Harlow looked at his father in horror. His face was pale. He said, "Father, did you make a mistake? If it wasn't for the Miraculous Doctor, why
would we be on good terms with the Lockwood family?
"Father, we're going to attend the wedding as the Miraculous Doctor's side of friends and family. Please don't get it all wrong."
The Andrews family's patriarch was stunned.
Xhalar, who was walking over, stopped in her tracks when she heard her brother's boot-licking comments. Her face turned pale.
