The Billionaire's Kick Ass Wife

Chapter 597



Philip was stunned.

Although he knew that his daughter had a boyfriend, that she was even pregnant and about to get married, this prospective son-in-law just appeared in front of him and even called him dad. It was... too sudden for him!

He silently stroked his frightened heart, then looked at Jake with an expressionless face, sizing Jake up and trying to find faults.

"Yes, he is quite burly and... quite handsome. He has only one-tenth of my charm back then, I guess!

"Besides, this kid seems quite reliable. Even if I'm not believing this kid, if Bella vouches for him, I guess this kid's character shouldn't be too bad.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

"Most importantly, my daughter likes him.

"Just barely enough then," Philip thought.

However, he could not bring himself to just open his mouth and return the greeting for a long time.

It was quite embarrassing.

Moreover, Philip deemed that he had to exude a dignified aura to let this kid know of his prestige.

He deemed that in the future, the person with the lowest status in this family would no longer be him.

Finally, there was someone at the bottom.

Philip's face was stiff. He looked cold and was not easy to get along with.

Jake thought that Philip did not like him. His eyes darkened and his mind raced. Countless ways to snatch Olivia from the Lockwood family flashed through his mind.

However, this thought only flashed across his mind. Before he could think of anything else, Wilson and Macpherson came over excitedly.

The two of them patted Jake's shoulders. Wilson said happily, "Hey, the kid seems quite strong. I wonder who's stronger, if he were to be compared to Bella here?" Jake was stunned for a moment, wondering if that was a compliment.

Looking at Isabella, Isabella's face turned completely dark and dull.

She felt that the next time Wilson came to ask her for advice on how to plant medicinal herbs, she wouldn't teach him anymore.

She couldn't believe how could a weak and delicate woman like her be compared to a tall man like Jake.

Isabella felt deeply insulted. To a certain extent, the way that Betty thought that she had the personality of a little angel was quite similar to Isabella.

Isabella also felt that she was a delicate and gentle beauty for a time!

She didn't expect that after a trip to Southeast Aelinne, everything would change.

"Wilson, this kid must be the more powerful one. Young man, your name is Jake, right? You're Bella's elder brother?"

Jake nodded and looked at the expressionless Philip, who looked extremely cold.

In the end, he realized that Philip's expression was even uglier than before.

At this moment, the anger in Philip's heart surged.

"Jake is my future son-in-law, right? What the hell are Wilson and Macpherson doing, sticking their noses in like that?" Philip thought.

He hadn't even spoken much to his future son-in-law!

Jake, on the other hand, did not know what Philip was thinking. He thought that Philip really did not like him, and he also thought that the two people who seemed enthusiastic now were actually planning to teach him a lesson.

Jake was extremely nervous and could not help but look at Isabella for help.

No matter what, Bella would definitely be on his side.

At the very least, Draxton did not object to him being with Olivia.

Jake thought that perhaps the Lockwood family's three elders were planning to give him some tests.

His mind was a mess. It was mainly because Jake was nervous. At this moment, he was completely flustered. Otherwise, he would have understood that if the Lockwood family didn't like someone, they simply couldn't be bothered with said someone. They would have even stopped Olivia from interacting with him long ago.

At this moment, Macpherson said, 'You're Bella's elder brother. What would the relationship between you and Draxton be in the future?

"Who would be the big brother between you two?"

Jake was stunned.

This development didn't seem right.

Draxton's expression also darkened.

Philip immediately glanced coldly at Macpherson, thinking how Wilson and Macpherson never bothered with serious business, yet would stick their noses in on the fun at the critical moments and completely steal his limelight.

This was intolerable!

"Didn't you two say you wanted to decorate the wedding venue? Why are you staying here and not leaving?" Philip asked coldly, completely displaying his authority as the big brother.

Macpherson chuckled and said, "Philip, we'll leave after talking to Jake for a while. We're tired, so we came back for a drink."

There was no way Philip would believe him.

The thought of them just wanting to drink water was absurd enough.

The wedding venue was in the old residence's backyard.

Although it was called a backyard, it was actually a huge garden with beautiful scenery. Many people wanted to take a look but did not have the chance to.

Wilson's smile was warm and friendly. He patted Jake's shoulder again and said, "Jake, I'm Olivia's second uncle, Wilson. He's Olivia's third uncle, Macpherson. From now on, we're family. Don't stand on ceremony. We still have something to do, so we'll go get busy first. Let's have a good chat later."

Jake's heart skipped a beat. His mouth got one step ahead of his brain and he called out very politely, "Uncle Wilson, Uncle Macpherson.'

"Hey, not bad, not bad." Wilson and Macpherson ran away, seeing Philip's furious gaze as if he was about to run amok.

When they passed by Philip, they looked at him mockingly.

They could tell very well that this was the first time their big brother met his son-in-law, and he just didn't know how to put on airs and was feeling embarrassed.

After Wilson and Macpherson left, Draxton and Isabella focused on watching the show and did not speak. Olivia also watched the show excitedly. Hence, only Jake and Philip were left staring at each other. The two of them looked at each other. The scene of them glaring at each other was really hilarious. Olivia, who was at the side, covered her mouth and secretly laughed.

The two little ones, Betty and Ricky, widened their eyes. They looked from one side to the other, their eyes rolling around. No one knew what they were thinking.

In the end, it was Philip who broke the stiff atmosphere first and said, "Jake, right? I've long heard about you. It's our first time meeting. Come with me to the study room." Without waiting for Jake's response, Philip took the lead and went upstairs.

Jake quickly followed.

The two of them walked one after another, and their expressions looked just as scary. Those who didn't know better would think that they were going to fight. Olivia was not worried at all. She leaned lazily on the couch and rubbed her stomach from time to time.

Isabella and Draxton also retracted their gazes from watching the commotion. The two of them continued to discuss having a heart-to-heart talk with their grandpa and grandma. Only Betty and Ricky looked at each other. Betty said, 'Grandfather and Uncle Jake are so childish..."

Ricky raised his chubby little hand and rubbed his sister's curly hair. "Betty, be good. We're children. We can't say that grandfather and Uncle Jake are childish. They're elders.' "Ricky, I'm telling the truth," Betty corrected him seriously.

Ricky was silent for a moment before saying, 'It's good that you know. You don't have to say it out loud."

The two of them thought that they kept their voices low, but although the house was big, it was also quiet. Philip and Jake did not walk far. Moreover, the two of them were highly focused at this moment, so it was very easy for them to hear what the little ones said.

The two of them froze at the same time.

Then, they continued upstairs as if nothing had happened.

Olivia smiled and gave a thumbs-up. "My precious, you're all honest good children."

The two little ones immediately puffed out their chests proudly.

Isabella buried her face in Draxton's arms and chuckled.

Philip waited for Jake to enter the study before closing the door with a bang. At the same time, he glared at the brats downstairs.
