Chapter 602
Philip slammed the table in anger and stood up. "Wesley, although you're Bella's teacher, you can't be so unreasonable. Bella is already the patriarch's wife of the Lockwood family, and they even have three children. The wedding is just a ceremony. You're going too far."
"I don't think I've gone overboard. I simply want to bring my student to stay at my home for a few days, but it seems that you're not allowing her to. If you're going to be so domineering, I'll tell Bella that your family's being tyrannical and does not allow her to go home..." Wesley said.
Philip's face darkened after hearing Wesley's words.
Sir Graham Lockwood looked at the President and then looked at Mr. Lyons before asking, "Eason, this is the real reason why you came to the Lockwood family, am I right? You want to bring Bella back?"
The President said helplessly, "Old Mr. Lockwood, don't be angry. Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that Wesley wants to bring Bella back to stay with him for a few days. As people get older, they always want the younger generation to spend more time with them."
Isabella came downstairs and happened to hear their conversation.
Isabella let out a faint smile while looking slightly helpless as she did not expect Mr. Lyons to do this out of the blue.
With a tinge of nervousness, Draxton stared at Isabella silently with his ink-blue eyes.
The President said, "Bella, I've let you down during our trip to Southeast Aelinne. Fortunately, you're safe."
"What relationship do you have with Bella? Don't try to cotton up to her.' Mr. Lyons looked at the President unhappily and turned to look at Isabella. "Master Menter's also at my place now. She's waiting for you there.' Mr. Lyons said.
After Isabella heard what Wesley said, she knew she had no other choice. Rubbing at her temples, Isabella looked at Draxton helplessly with an apologetic gaze.
Draxton's heart instantly sank.
"Oh no, Bella is really going to be taken away." Draxton thought inwardly.
Feeling a little indignant, Draxton pursed his lips.
"However, was it really possible to snatch Bella away from her masters?
"Naturally, it's not possible." Draxton thought to himself with a sigh.
In the end, Isabella left with Mr. Lyons. When Isabella left, she even took Betty and Ricky with her.
Draxton stood transfixed at the entrance of the residence and watched the car drive away. Somehow, Draxton's silhouette looked a little pitiful as he stood in a daze with the cold breeze blowing on him. The guards and people from the Big Dipper passed by Draxton from time to time, while they pretended to be on patrol.
In actual fact, they were all watching Draxton eagerly as they wanted to know more juicy gossip about him.
"Patriarch is so pitiful, his wife was taken away from him! Just look at how pitiful his silhouette is!' The guards thought to themselves.
Draxton turned around and caught sight of the guards who had deliberately passed by him numerous times.
When the team of guards saw Draxton looking over, their expressions immediately turned serious. Without glancing from side to side, the guards walked forward with a straight face although their footsteps were slightly disorganized. It was as if they were feeling panicky.
The guards felt that it was fine if they were to watch the patriarch in secret and get their hands on some juicy gossip. However, it would be a totally different matter if they were caught by the patriarch as they were afraid of him.
Seeing that the guards were about to escape, Draxton's expression turned cold. "These guys had actually dared to linger around and try to get their hands on some juicy gossip about me! They're being unruly! "I have to teach them a lesson.' Draxton thought to himself.
"Oh my god!' The guards thought to themselves as their footsteps quickened. All of them seemed to have sensed a murderous aura behind them.
"Stop! Draxton commanded in a deep voice.
The guards immediately froze. Their actions were in sync as if someone had pressed the pause button on them.
Draxton approached the guards, before stopping in front of them and looking at them expressionlessly.
The guards looked at Draxton with solemn expressions, thinking that it was over for them. Their hearts sank as they thought to themselves, "I knew it! It's going to be very difficult if we want to get our hands on some juicy gossip about the patriarch! It would seem that we have angered the patriarch!"
Just as they were feeling apprehensive, Draxton spoke.
"Are any of you married?' Draxton asked.
Stunned, all of the guards of the first team looked at each other. After exchanging glances, all of them shook their heads.
Draxton stared at them with a profound gaze as something flashed in his eyes. Draxton asked again, 'What about girlfriends?"
The guards were stunned again and then shook their heads in unison.
Draxton's eyes were instantly filled with pity and sympathy. In the end, Draxton looked at them smugly with pride and said, "All of you don't even have a girlfriend. How can you have the cheek to look at me and try to get your hands on some juicy gossip about me?"
The guards were speechless!
They suddenly felt a dull ache in their chests.
Draxton said in a tone full of superiority, "Is it that the Lockwood family are not giving you rest days, or are we squeezing you dry by forcing all of you to work long hours without any rest? Don't any of you have the time to go dating? All of you are already not young, it's time for you to consider dating someone. The Lockwood family does not want to hire guards who are bachelors."
The guards were speechless.
"Patriarch, you're really being unkind!
"How could the patriarch address us as bachelors? The oldest guard among us is only twenty-five years old!" The group of guards' faces flushed red, but they did not dare to refute what the patriarch had said. Draxton's mood finally lifted slightly when he saw their pained and humiliated expressions. Draxton then said, "The wedding of your patriarch is imminent. All of you should patrol well." With that said, Draxton left.
From Draxton's back, they could tell that he was feeling proud and good about himself.
The guards heaved a long sigh of relief. One by one, they could not help but start thinking about their love life, and their future marriage.
The youngest guard asked in confusion, "I've just turned 20 years old. Do I need to start to consider getting married?"Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
The patriarch had said that he did not want to hire guards who are bachelors.
"In this day and age, it's so hard to be a guard." The guards thought to themselves.
Sir Graham Lockwood and Philip looked at Draxton in surprise when they saw Draxton return to the living room. Draxton paused and asked, "Grandpa and Dad, what's wrong?" "Why are you back? Why did you come back?" Philip asked in disbelief.
Draxton stared blankly at his father in confusion.
Philip didn't know what to say.
Sir Graham Lockwood said, "Draxton, let me tell you. Sometimes, you have to be thick-skinned."
Realization dawned upon Draxton. Draxton was slightly amused and embarrassed as he said, "Grandpa, Dad, you're not asking me to follow Isabella right?"
"Why not?" Philip said domineeringly.
Draxton smiled and said, "I understand, Dad. Don't worry.'
It was ten at night.
In Mr. Lyons's mansion, a black shadow flashed past quickly. In the room on the third floor, Isabella was about to go to bed when the Prime Code in her mind suddenly beeped twice.
Isabella was taken aback and turned to look at the window.
Isabella opened the window with a strange expression on her face and saw Draxton hanging outside her window, looking solemn.
