The Billionaire’s Kick Ass Wife

Chapter 138 Ethan Comes Back

“Mr. Lockwood, you are too polite. Compared to you, the dignified patriarch of the Lockwood family, I can

only be considered an unemployed person. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be unable to protect Bella and make

her hide in Lotus Village with the children for five years, unable to leave,” Jake said calmly with a

mocking smile.

The five years of pursuit of killing Isabella was indeed an undeniable fact that Draxton could not deny.

However, Draxton was the dignified patriarch of the Lockwood family. How could he willingly be mocked

just

because of this?

Draxton said shamelessly, “That’s true. If Bella had left Lotus Village earlier and taken responsibility for

me, I wouldn’t have chased after Bella for five years.

“Now, Bella and I are husband and wife. She has already been responsible for what she did to me back

then. I naturally won’t pursue the past. After all, I’m already her husband.”

Jake’s handsome face froze, and he could barely to hold on it anymore. Stunned, Jake looked at

Draxton. It turned out that in his heart, Draxton had chased after Bella for five years because Bella had

slept with him and not taken responsibility for it. Draxton actually thought he was in the right!

How could the dignified patriarch of the Lockwood family really say such shameless words? Although it

seemed to make sense, as a man, did Draxton not care about his reputation?

If there was a loss, it should be Bella who suffered a loss, right?

Olivia was also speechless. Draxton was so shameless that stunned Olivia, but she was proud

Olivia looked at Jake smugly Jake’s trick would not work Isabella could only belong to the Lockwood

family. It was useless for Jake to be picky no matter how!

Isabella, on the other end, chuckled Draxton was getting more and more careless about his image.

When Jake heard Isabella’s laughter, he glared at her angrily Back then, Isabella was the one who was

forced into such a miserable state. But now, she could still have the mood to laugh

However, Jake could tell that Isabella lived well here

Since that was the case, Jake would not harp on the past to add to Isabella’s worries.

The atmosphere in the car gradually became harmonious Draxton took the opportunity to say, “Jake, are

you here to visit Bella? If you have anything else to do, feel free to tell me. I’ll definitely help if I can.”

Jake’s eyes darkened. “Firstly, I am here to visit Bella. Secondly, I have some personal matters to deal

with. There’s no need to trouble you, Mr. Lockwood.”

Hearing Jake’s words, Draxton stopped asking.

What they didn’t know was that just as they left the airport, another car arrived.

Lindon and Shane drove to a stop. They looked in the direction the Lockwood family’s car had left with a

hint of doubt in their eyes.

“It’s so strange. That seems to be the Lockwood family’s car. Could it be that the Lockwood family is also

here to pick someone up?” Shane murmured softly.

Lindon’s eyes lit up. “Could it be that Ethan has contacted Olivia? Olivia knew that Ethan was coming

back today, so she specially came to the airport to see him?”

Shane felt that it was unlikely, but other than that, they really could not find the reason why the Lockwood

family came to the airport.

“Maybe we’re mistaken. That’s probably not the Lockwood family’s car,” Shane said.

Ethan got off the plane and soon found Lindon and Shane in the crowd. He didn’t look too good, but he

was still smiling.

“Uncle Lindon, Shane, I’m here.” Ethan greeted them.

Shane looked at Ethan with a complicated expression and smiled. “It’s good that you’re back. You’re

tired, right?”

“A little.”

The three of them got into the car and Lindon said, “What took you so many days before coming back?

The Riker family needs you now.”

Ethan lowered his gentle eyes slightly and said softly, “Uncle Lindon, I told you on the phone that it’s

impossible between me and Olivia.”

“Why is it impossible? You and Olivia have been in the same class since kindergarten. You two can be

said to be childhood sweethearts. The relationship between the Riker family and the Lockwood family is

very stiff now. It depends on you to ease this relationship through Draxton.”

Lindon was a little impatient and very displeased. Ethan did not have any consideration for the big

picture of the Riker family.

“Ethan, everything we do is for the prosperity of the family. It’s not like you don’t know how domineering

and protective the Lockwood family is.

“The Crawford family has offended the Lockwood family. Now, even Patriarch Crawford can’t protect the

Crawford family. The huge Crawford family is about to be destroyed by the Lockwood family. Draxton’s

methods are too ruthless. Do you want the Riker family to follow in the Crawford family’s footsteps?”

Ethan looked up at Lindon and said, “Then we, the Riker family, must not provoke the Lockwood family.

“Uncle Lindon, we shouldn’t have had Olivia involved in this matter. You know that the Lockwood family

is protective. If they know that we schemed against them…”

“Enough!” Lindon said in a deep voice.

Lindon said gloomily, “Ethan, to be honest, do you have a grudge against the Riker family? Do you

blame your grandpa for arranging for you to go overseas? Or do you blame us for not letting you be with

Olivia a few years ago?

“Every choice your grandpa made was for the Riker family. As the Riker family’s descendant, you should

consider the family. You’re a sensible child. You should understand your grandpa’s painstaking efforts.”

Ethan looked up with a self-deprecating expression. “Uncle Lindon, why do you always think that Olivia

and I have that kind of relationship?”

Lindon glanced at Ethan. “Isn’t that so? When you were in university, you often interacted with Olivia.

You are both young men and women. Even if you two didn’t express your mind openly, there should be a

good impression of each other, right?”

Ethan did not know what to say. He could only say, “I did have a good relationship with Olivia back them,

but so many years have passed. We’re already distant.”

Lindon waved his hand impatiently. “Forget it. Let’s not talk about it anymore. Let’s talk about it when we

get home and see your grandpa.”

Ethan stopped talking too.

Shane had been driving quietly during the period and listened to Lindon and Ethan.

After they returned to the Riker family, Patriarch Riker looked at Ethan, who looked more mature than a

few years ago, and nodded in satisfaction. Among his grandchildren, other than Shane, Ethan was the

most satisfactory.

However, there was only one heir in a family. A few years ago, Patriarch Riker was afraid that Ethan

would become ambitious, so he broke off Ethan’s relationship with Olivia and sent him overseas.

But now, the Riker family needs this relationship between Ethan and Olivia.

“It’s good that you’re back. Call Olivia and ask her out tomorrow. You haven’t seen each other for a long

time, right? Patriarch Riker said calmly.

Ethan was silerit. He looked at the slyness in his grandpa’s eyes and his heart turned cold.

This family had no kinship, no warmth. Many years ago, because of their selfish desires, they sent Ethan

Overseas. Now, in order to take advantage of the relationship between Olivia and Ethan, they called

Ethan back to the country.

Seeing that Ethan didn’t say anything, Patriarch Riker’s face darkened, and he said, “Ethan, do you have

a grudge against me?”

Ethan said with a complicated expression, “No, grandpa.”

“Meet Olivia tomorrow and settle your relationship as soon as possible. You’re not young anymore. The

marriage between the Riker family and the Lockwood family will definitely become a beautiful story for

Dawton City,” Patriarch Riker said.

Ethan said, “Grandpa, I’ll meet Olivia tomorrow.”

Only then did Patriarch Riker smile and nod in satisfaction. “Good boy. Although this is for the family, this

is also a good marriage for you. You must be tired. Go and rest well.”

“Yes, grandpa,” Ethan nodded and said, his real thought unknown.
