Chapter 223 Bernard’s Surprise
Yale was the daughter of the Lockwood family, one of the noblest ladies in the world. But Yale was
actually so intimate with Isabella.
Yale’s enthusiastic behavior just now clearly showed that she liked Isabella very much.
At this moment, Shawn and Kyla were busy greeting Ava and the others. They even took out gifts
enthusiastically.
Ava and Mia were used to the Langley family giving them gifts every year.
Ava and Mia accepted the gifts with a smile, not embarrassing Shawn and Kyla.
Shawn and Kyla had been embarrassed by Isabella just now. Seeing Ava and Mia accept their gifts, they
could not help but feel a little flattered.
Cressida smiled reservedly and went forward to greet them very politely.
It was not Cressida’s first time here, so Ava and the others were not unfamiliar with Cressida.
Ava even praised, “Cressida, you are getting more and more beautiful.”
Cressida’s eyes immediately lit up. Then, Cressida lowered her head shyly and glanced at Bernard
secretly.
However, Bernard and the others were chatting happily with Isabella.
Their admiration for Isabella was unparalleled. Even Draxton could not compare to Isabella in their heart.
Isabella looked at these guys who still looked like children even though they were adults and felt it very

Isabella couldn’t help but roll her eyes and said helplessly, “How old are you guys? Why are you still
acting coquettishly? It’s all right for Yale and Kevin to bother me. After all, Yale is a girl, and Kevin is still
a child. Don’t squeeze. If you really have nothing to do, go to Draxton and ask him to arrange something
for you to do.”
The expressions of Bernard and the others changed drastically when they heard Isabella’s words.
They looked at Isabella with incomparable sadness.
Yale took the opportunity to wheedle. “Isabella, I’m a girl. Girls have to be pampered and couldn’t work.”
Isabella looked at Yale helplessly.
Bernard and the others looked at Yale angrily. Yale was too disloyal.
Fortunately, Isabella did not bring up the topic of getting Draxton to arrange jobs for them.
Kyla said to Ava and Mia ingratiatingly, “These gentlemen and young ladies have such a good
relationship with Mrs. Lockwood.”
Ava smiled and said, “It’s not just them. As elders, we also like to be with Bella.”
“Exactly,” Mia said with a smile.
Shawn and Kyla’s opinion of Isabella’s status in their heart had been elevated to an extremely high
position. It was already too late for them to regret now. They shouldn’t have looked down on the
patriarch’s wife yesterday just because of Kim’s attitude.
“Cressida, go and greet Bernard and the others. You’re all young people, and it’s not your first time
meeting them. You should have a good chat.”
Kim reminded them.
“Yes, Aunt Kim.” Cressida was more than happy to do so. Cressida immediately went forward to talk to
Bernard and the others.
Cressida looked at Bernard shyly, her eyes filled with love.
“Hello, Bernard, Shepard, Yale, Roger, Kevin…”
Cressida greeted them obediently and quietly.
Bernard and the others only nodded politely.

Bernard’s Surprise
When Cressida looked at Bernard affectionately again, Bernard had already gone to please Isabella
Isabella pushed Bernard’s big head away in a little disgust. She rolled her eyes at Bernard and said in a
little disgust, “Don’t fawn at me. It’s useless to fawn at me. When it’s time for Draxton to arrange work for
you, he won’t show mercy.”
Immediately, there were wails.
Isabella smiled helplessly and said, “Let me introduce you to someone.”
Then, Isabella introduced Elodia to them one by one.

Isabella said to Elodia with a smile after the introduction.
When Kim saw Cressida standing alone at the side, her face turned slightly gloomy.
Kim smiled and said to everyone, “Look, Isabella and Elodia hit it off.”
As she spoke, Kim looked at Elodia with a complicated gaze.
Elodia was Kim’s daughter–in–law. Logically speaking, it was a good thing for Kim that Isabella treated
Elodia well.
However, seeing it, Kim was not feeling very good for no reason.
Looking at Cressida who was isolated, Kim couldn’t hold back anymore and said to Ava, “Ava, Bernard is
25 this year, right? He’s already at the age of dating. Ever since Cressida met Bernard five years ago,
she’s been calling us and talking about Bernard. It’s been five years, and she’s still talking about Bernard
often!”
Ava was stunned and did not expect Kim and the Langley family to have such an idea.
Bernard who stood at the side raised his head in surprise and shouted in confusion, “What? She’s been
talking about me for five years? Aunt Kim, did you say the wrong name?
“Five years ago, the person she clearly wanted to seduce was Draxton. She even went to knock on
Draxton’s door in the middle of the night naked and was thrown into Grandpa’s zoo by Draxton in the
end. How did the person she talked about become me?”
Bernard’s face was full of confusion, and his expression was extremely innocent.
