Chapter 182 Pleasing Him
Jackson said nothing.
Isabe looked at Vanessa Falkona strangely and asked, "Aunt Falkona, you seem excited?"
A trace of difort shed across Vanessa''s face. "Yes. Jackson has suffered a lot over the years. I grew up with him, and we can be considered childhood sweethearts. Of course, I''m excited that his leg can recover"
Isabe couldn''t help butugh. This childhood sweetheart of Master Vaughn''s was something.
The 18 Blue Crystals also nced at Vanessa. They had seen this woman before. She was the wife of Old Mr Sif
But they were more curious about Leward Duncan.
They all found this person very familiar.
"Mrs. Lockwood, we need to talk to you," ire said.
Isabe was stunned. She knew that ire would not speak now unless it were something important.
Isabe smiled apologetically at the others and walked outside with the 18 Blue Crystals.
Draxton stayed inside and chatted with Jackson.
"Mrs. Lockwood, Leward Duncan looked very familiar to us. Even his voice sounded familiar "
ire went straight to the point once they had stepped outside.
Isabe''s expression changed. "You''ve met him before?"
ire hesitated before she answered, "That was when we were experimental subjects. Someone was discussing the experimental data outside with Old Mr. Sif. Or rather, that person was leading the experiment. Although we were Old Mr. Sif''s killing tools, that person was in charge of the experiment. We have never seen that person''s face, but we remember his figure very clearly. In fact, his voice is exactly like that of Leward Duncan''s."
Isabe''s eyes darkened. She took a deep breath and replied, "I understand. Don''t make it public for now."All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.
"Okay"
Isabe returned inside as if nothing had happened. Seeing that Master Vaughn and Draxton were chatting, she went into the kitchen and brought out a fruit tter "Master Vaughn, what are we eating today?"
Jackson answered, "It''s Draxton''s first time here today. Go prepare his favorite dishes."
Isabe''s eyes widened slightly. "Master Vaughn, you want me to cook alone?"
And how did these two get so familiar so quickly?
Jackson pretended to be angry and said, "You haven''t seen me for so long, and now you''re unwilling to prepare even a meal for me?"
Isabe hurriedly replied, "No, it''s just that you won''t let me cook alone, right?”
Jackson did not know whether tough or cry "Oh, Isabe..."
As he spoke, Jackson turned his wheelchair toward the kitchen. "Fine, as usual, you''ll stew the fish for me, and I''ll make braised pork ribs for you." "Alright, no problem," Isabe replied with a smile.
Draxton quickly followed and said, "Master Vaughn, I''ll help you and Be with the chores."
Although he did not know how to cook, assisting them should be no problem.
Jackson nodded and did not refuse.
Draxton turned his head and looked at Isabe bitterly. They had been together for so long, but he had never tasted Be s cooking.
He still clearly remembered the first time he met Be Be was preparing a table of food. She was so shocked when she turned around and saw him that she spilled a pot of soup and scalded herself Thinking of this, Draxton''s gaze became even more resentful.
Isabe sensed his gaze and looked at him nkly. What kind of expression was that? Why did Draxton look so aggrieved?
Seeing this, Isabe leaned over and softly coaxed Draxton, "Be good. I''ll treat you to delicious foodter Master Vaughn''s culinary skills are superb."
Jackson also turned to look at Draxton strangely
Draxton gritted his teeth.
Furious, he turned around and gently bit on Isabe''s earlobe. "You wait and see tonight!"
Isabe raised her eyebrows and nced back at him with her doe-like eyes. "I''ll be waiting!" Draxton, "..."
As a man, he could not tolerate this.
"Ahem!"
Jackson coughed heavily.
Isabe and Draxton immediately became proper and pretended that nothing had happened.
Seeing the three of them happily enter the kitchen, Vanessa''s eyes shed, and she followed them.
She smiled and said, "Jackson, Be, I''ll help you too. Although my culinary skills are not very good, I can still help."
Jackson answered, "Vanessa, you''re a guest. How can I let you cook? You sit and wait for dinner Get Leward to chat with you."
Jackson refused without hesitation.
Vanessa froze on the spot.
A guest?
Was she just a mere guest to him in his heart?
"Ms. Falkona,e and have a seat. Outsiders shouldn''t disturb their family reunion," Leward said.
Humiliated, Vanessa was enraged.
She turned around, sat on the sofa, and red at Leward with a sneer “Don''t think I''m not aware of your rtionship with Old Mr. Sif. The spy that Jackson was referring to is you." She lowered her voice threateningly.
Leward didn''t care at all. Instead, he smiled. "If you''re doing this for his sake, go ahead and expose me."
Vanessa looked at him in bewilderment. Her face darkened, and she snorted with derision. "Don''t think I don''t
dare!"
Leward sneered, leaned against the sofa, and drank his tea leisurely. Indeed, he did not appear to be bothered by Vanessa''s threats
Vanessa was so livid that her face turned red.
While the atmosphere in the living room had dropped to freezing point, the three in the kitchen were happy together
Draxton picked and washed the vegetables attentively
The air was filled with the fragrance of food after a while.
Vanessa''s phone rang as the servants were serving the dishes.
After answering the call, she announced happily, "Ally ising over
Isabe happened to walk over with braised pork ribs that had just been cooked andmented, "She came at the right time."
"Yes, that child knows when there''s good food." Vanessa smiled and went out to wee nna.
After a while, nna walked in with Vanessa just as all the food had beenid on the table.
They sat around the table. nna smiled and said, "Be, I didn''t expect you to be Mr. Vaughn''s disciple. I''m
so happy to see you again.
Vanessa smiled and agreed, "Yes, I heard Be mention that she had met you. This is fate indeed."
Isabe smiled and said to nna, "Call me by my name. We''re not that close for you to call me Be." nna''s face stiffened as she looked at Jackson with tears in her eyes.
"Mr Vaughn, does Be have something against me?"
Jackson smiled and answered, "That''s not true. I know that you''re a polite child, but Be is slow to warm up to strangers. You''ve only met her a few times, so it''s true that you are not familiar with one another nna bit her lip.
On the other hand, Isabe did not even look up and focused on eating. She even picked a piece of pork rib for Draxton.
Jackson watched helplessly.
Don''t take him for being ignorant. He knew Isabe wouldn''t bother feigning civility if she didn''t like someone. nna sneered to herself when she saw that Isabe was only trying to please Draxton. Isabe was no match for her when it came to pleasing elders.
nna picked up a piece of pork ribs and ced it on Jackson''s te. "Mr. Vaughn, have some pork ribs."
Jackson looked at the pork ribs in front of him and smiled silently. "Alright, you eat too. Don''t worry about me." However, he did not touch the pork rib.
