Chapter 216 The Langley Family Is Here


    Ricky said, "I shouldn''t have given second great-grandpa and Key the ravioli filled with mustard."


    Isabe looked at his tightly pursed lips and knew that although he said that, he was still unhappy.


    Isabe could not help but kiss his little face. She lifted him into her arms and walked to the small couch to sit down.


    Isabe said, "Is it because second great-grandpa was fierce to Mom, so you wanted to give him mustard ravioli to teach him a lesson?"


    Ricky looked up and nodded seriously.


    Isabe''s eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. "Mommy also thinks that second great-grandpa is too much. Mommy has long wanted to teach him a lesson, but I didn''t expect you to beat Mommy to it." Ricky was surprised.


    He widened his eyes in shock, which was really cute.


    Draxton had just walked over to them while holding Betty''s hand. When he heard this, he almost tripped.


    He also widened his eyes and looked at Isabe. Was it okay for her to say this to the children?


    Isabe continued, "You gave Kieran the mustard ravioli because he said something that made your sister unhappy, right?"


    Ricky nodded again.


    Isabe asked, "Then does Ricky know why Mom deliberately ate Key''s mustard ravioli?"


    A hint of doubt appeared in Ricky''s midnight blue eyes.


    Isabe smiled and said, "Because Key is also small like you. If he ate the mustard ravioli, there''s a high chance that he would choke. If it identally got stuck in his windpipe, it would be very dangerous." "Second great-grandpa is an adult so he knows how to take care of himself, but Key is still a child so it would be very dangerous."


    Ricky''s small face gradually revealed a serious expression.


    Isabe said, "Therefore, even if we want to teach others a lesson, we have to be careful. If teaching them a lesson causes their lives to be in danger, it will be our fault if we aren''t able to save them." Ricky nodded solemnly.


    "Mom, I understand. In the future, when I teach others a lesson, I will definitely be careful."


    Isabe smiled and gave him a thumbs-up. "Smart boy!"


    "Mom, I also heard what you said. When I fight Key, I won''t beat him to death," Betty said.


    "Betty, please don''t beat him to death!" Isabe did not know whether tough or cry.


    The corners of Draxton''s mouth twitched. For a moment, he did not know how to react. His wife and children were not people to be trifled with!


    Draxton squatted down and looked at the two children. "Second great-grandpa and Key are just a little old-fashioned. Although what they said was unpleasant, they didn''t mean any harm, so we just have to teach them a small lesson."


    Ricky and Betty nodded obediently.


    In two days, it would be New Year''s Eve. Over the past few days, Wilson and Macpherson''s family members had also arrived at the Lockwood family''s residence.


    Seeing Isabe, Ava and Mia''s eyes lit up. They warmly invited Isabe to sit down.


    Jeanne smiled and teased, "Look at the two of you. You''re even more enthusiastic to see Be than me. Be is clearly my daughter-inw."


    "Jeanne, Be is your daughter-inw, but she''s also our niece-inw!"


    Mia said with a smile.


    "Mia is right," Ava agreed.


    Jeanne could not help butugh heartily, then she said to Isabe, "Be, then apany your aunts. It''s just that you haven''t spoken to me a lot after you came back."


    Jeanne sounded envious.


    Isabe smiled. "I see you often. I can talk to you any day, but I don''t see Aunt Ava and Aunt Mia often. Of course, I have to seize the opportunity to talk to them more." "If you think you''re losing out, I''ll bring my pillow to your room and sleep with you tonight."


    When Jeanne heard this, she immediately looked horrified. "It''s fine. You don''t need to sleep with me. Otherwise, Draxton wille to settle scores with me the next day." Everyone burst intoughter.


    Kim Langley and Elodia sat at the side without saying a word.


    Kim could not help but frown as she looked at Jeanne and the others who were chatting andughing.


    She did not understand why the people from the main branch were so good to this woman who had a child out of wedlock.


    How could they spoil her? It was fine if they didn''t discipline her properly, but they even ttered her.


    When Kim thought of her own strict upbringing, as well as the virtuousness and rules after marrying Colin Lockwood, she looked down on Isabe even more.


    It was fortunate that Isabe was not her daughter-inw. Otherwise, she would definitely educate her on how she should behave as a daughter-inw.


    With this thought in mind, Elodia, who came from an ordinary family, seemed to be much more sensible.Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    Although Elodia came from a humble background and her etiquette and other qualities were not up to her standards, at least she was honest and dutiful. Kim nced at Elodia with some satisfaction.


    Elodia was smiling as she watched Isabe and the others joke around. There was an almost imperceptible hint of envy in her eyes.


    Jeanne treated Isabe really well. It was like Isabe was Jeanne''s own daughter.


    They interacted intimately and naturally without any animosity.


    Elodia did not expect Kim to treat her like this. As long as Kim did not despise her so much, she was already satisfied.


    Noticing that Kim was looking at her, she quickly lowered her head with vignce.


    Kim frowned in dissatisfaction. Her daughter-inw was too timid, hence unpresentable.


    Jeanne and the others felt that it was not nice to ignore Kim while theyughed and joke around. Hence, Jeanne said, "Kim, my stylist ising overter. Let''s try on New Year''s clothes together and choose our style. Do you want toe along?"


    Kim shook her head and refused without hesitation. "No, I''ve already decided on my clothes and style. There''s no need to trouble you."


    "What about Elodia?" Jeanne smiled at Elodia.


    Elodia hurriedly shook her head and said in fear and trepidation, "Thank you, Aunt Jeanne. I''ve also prepared my outfit."


    Jeanne smiled and said, "Alright then. We won''t be apanying you guyster."


    Mia smiled and said, "Kim, don''t regret it if you don''te. Be said that she brought herbal makeup for us to try out."


    Ava said, "Yeah, Be''s herbal makeup is hard toe by."


    Kim felt disdainful toward Be, but she still smiled and said, "There''s really no need. You guys can go and have fun. My brother and his wife will be arriving soon. Elodia and I have to pick them up." Every year, the Langley family woulde to pay their New Year''s greetings to the Lockwood family, and this year was no exception.


    Isabe could tell that Kim did not like her very much, so she did not say anything else.


    Chapter To The Langley rammy is riere


    Since Kim didn''t like her, Isabe didn''t see why she had to tter her.


    At the airport.


    Gary, Elodia, and Kim received the three members of the Langley family who had just gotten off the ne.


    There was Kim''s brother, sister-inw, and her niece, Cressida Langley.


    The Langley family was a schrly family, so their descendants'' names tended to be ancient.


    "Aunt, I missed you so much!"


    As soon as Cressida saw Kim, she happily walked up to her.


    Seeing her niece, a smile appeared on Kim''s face. "I''ve heard that you wereing this year. Why isn''t your brother here?"


    "He started apany. It''s a busy year so he won''t be able toe."


    Cressida replied.


    Then, she looked at Elodia and said, "Aunt Kim, this is my cousin-inw, right? You''re finally letting here to the Lockwood family''s residence for New Year this year?"


    In the past few years, because Elodia''s family background was humble, Kim despised her for not being presentable and refused to bring her to the Lockwood family''s residence to avoid being embarrassed.


    As a result, Kieran was already five years old when Elodia had the chance toe here to celebrate the new year, which was this year.


    On the other hand, because of Kim, Cressida and her family came to visit the Lockwood family every year.


    "Elodia, I see that you''ve learned most of the rules. Otherwise, Aunt Kim wouldn''t have brought you to the Lockwood family''s residence this year. You didn''t embarrass our family, did you?"


    Cressida covered her mouth and asked with a smile when she saw Elodia''s silent and wooden expression.


    Kim indulged Cressida even though she said those words.


    Gary acted as if he did not hear anything.
