The Billionaire's Kick Ass Wife

Chapter 18 Thanks Dad

Ricky's mouth pressed into a hard line. Then, looking at Draxton, Ricky remained silent.

And then, Draxton took Ricky's small hand and led him to another room. "Let's see your room."

Following Draxton, Ricky made for his room.

Isabella gazed at the father and the son, a big guy and a little man, with a dreamy look in her eyes.

From behind, they looked so alike. The only difference was their height.

When Draxton and Ricky approached the door, they suddenly stopped at the same time. Turning around, they looked at isabella.

Isabella was dumbstruck.

Draxton and Ricky looked at her silently. They had gotten the same look in their eyes.

"Aren't you coming with us?"

"Mom, come!"

Those words were what Isabella found in their eyes. She could not believe that she could read their thoughts in their eyes. Nevertheless, she could not help but smile and walk toward them. Draxton cast one more glance at Isabella because of the smile on Isabella's face. The corners of his mouth. curled slightly.

The three of them entered Ricky's room. The room was spacious, and the decoration was very suitable for kids. Various toys were on the floor, one of them a little car. Ricky's eyes fell on that little red car.

Anyone could tell that Ricky liked that car from his eyes. But Ricky did not run toward it. On the contrary, his mouth set in a grim line.

Isabella read the thought on Ricky's face and stroked Ricky's hair. "Ricky," she said, "do you like that little car?"

Ricky nodded sheepishly. He looked at Draxton with embarrassment.

Draxton's eyes softened. "Ricky, if you like it, go play with it. Mom and Dad will stand here looking after you." After getting permission, Ricky briskly ran toward the little car and sat in the driver's seat in no particular hurry. Happiness flashed in his eyes. Draxton's words, "Mom and Dad," touched off a delightful explosion in his mind. Suddenly, the word "Dad" became more intriguing and endearing to Ricky.

The little car ran up and down on the vast room floor. Isabella and Draxton stood shoulder-to-shoulder, looking at him without saying a word.

Ricky drove the car to the far side of the room and then turn it around, charging at Draxton and Isabella.

A happy smile lit up the child's face. He had never looked cuter.

A smile appeared on Isabella and Draxton's faces without them realizing it. Gentle looks were in their eyes.

For some reason, their eyes suddenly met, which stunned them both.

Isabella turned her head first, and her eyes fell on Ricky, Staying nonchalant, Draxton also turned to look at Ricky.

They looked like such a happy family.

At that moment, Cooper approached the room. Once inside, he found that Ricky was driving the little car. His heart melted at Ricky's lovely smile. He clutched his chest and gazed at Ricky for a long moment. "Mr. Lockwood, Miss Thompson, morning tea is ready. Are you going to have it with Ricky?" Cooper was very polite when he was talking. However, his eyes uncontrollably fell on Ricky. Draxton did not care about Cooper and said to Isabella, "Let's go downstairs with Ricky, alright?"

1 "Okay Isabella nodded.

Though this manor was huge, there was not a lot of staff. Apart from the butler, Cooper, and two chefs, no other staff was around.

Alan and Martin lived there temporarily. They did not often live in Northernville Manor.

They enjoyed the tea on a terrace next to the living room on the first floor. This terrace was very big. Some bonsai were placed around the terrace as decoration. White curtains hung from the ceiling and swayed when the wind went through the half-open window

There was a little round table on the terrace with three chairs around.

Isabella thought that Cooper would take those teas to them. But, to her surprise, it was a maid. Both her. make-up and figure were perfect.

Dressed in a maid's uniform, she walked toward them carrying a tray.

Isabella was taken aback because the maid's eyes did not have the focal length that a normal person should. Nevertheless, Isabella could not help but look at the skin on her face and hands.

They were very alike, but when Isabella looked at them carefully, she could find some differences, though very subtle.

The maid sensed that Isabella was studying her, so she turned to face Isabella. She gave Isabella a bigger smile-a standard smile with only eight teeth showing.

She handed a white round button to Isabella..

Isabella took the button and smiled. "Alright, thank you, Lily."

"You're welcome."

Lily smiled politely and then looked at Ricky. "Ricky, these animal-shaped desserts are for you. I hope you like them."

A plate of colorful animal-shaped desserts was put before Ricky.

There were rabbits, ducks, and snakes.

Ricky's eyes danced. He looked at Lily and said, "Thank you, Aunt Lily."

His voice was cute and soft. Lily used one hand to cover her chest. Two red hearts appeared in her dark eyes. She ran away at once.

Ricky's eyes opened wide, looking after Lily in bewilderment.

Isabella was struck dumb too.

The Lockwood Group was called the best company in Lucsia for a reason. It was also the most unique company.

It was the only company that could make something like Lily.

"That's the latest Al robot developed by the Lockwood Group. She's up for any sort of maid work.

"Apart from Lily, Lucy and Oliver are robots too. They're responsible for cleaning the estate."

Isabella could not help but be in awe.

Isabella thought Lily and Lucy were good names, but she had mixed feelings about the name Oliver.

Draxton suddenly looked at Ricky and said, "Next time, I'll have them make a robot looking exactly like Ricky, then you and that robot can play together!"

Ricky's eyes lit up immediately.

He looked at Draxton, bright sparkles in his eyes. Draxton laughed and said, "If you call me Dad, just for once, then I'll call them right now and have them work on it. I can even let you design the robot's appearance in person, and you can also give that robot a name."

Ricky's eyes widened. This was such a big temptation for him.

He blushed, looking at Draxton, unable to make a decision.

In the end, he looked appealingly at Isabella.

Casting a glance at Draxton, who was smiling, Isabella remained silent and stroked Ricky's head with aContent bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

smile.

Ricky understood her mother's intention and felt that he had gotten her silent support.

Isabella once told Ricky that if Draxton was nice to them, Ricky could call him Dad.

Sheepishly, Ricky met Draxton's eyes and pressed his mouth into a hard line. Then, after hesitating for a while, he said at last, "Thanks, Dad."

His voice was so touching and tender. The sound of Dad was like a feather falling from the sky into Draxton's heart. A weird feeling went through Draxton's stomach. He was moved inexpressibly.
