Chapter 182 Pleasing Him
Jackson said nothing.
Isabella looked at Vanessa Falkona strangely and asked, “Aunt Falkona, you seem excited?”
A trace of discomfort flashed 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”
Isabella couldn’t help but laugh. This childhood sweetheart of Master Vaughn’s was something.
The 18 Blue Crystals also glanced 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,” Claire said.
Isabella was stunned. She knew that Claire would not speak now unless it were something important.
Isabella 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 ”
Claire went straight to the point once they had stepped outside.
Isabella’s expression changed. “You’ve met him before?”
Claire 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.”
Isabella’s eyes darkened. She took a deep breath and replied, “I understand. Don’t make it public for
now.”
“Okay”
Isabella returned inside as if nothing had happened. Seeing that Master Vaughn and Draxton were
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtchatting, she went into the kitchen and brought out a fruit platter
“Master Vaughn, what are we eating today?”
Jackson answered, “It’s Draxton’s first time here today. Go prepare his favorite dishes.”
Isabella’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?”
Isabella hurriedly replied, “No, it’s just that you won’t let me cook alone, right?”
Jackson did not know whether to laugh or cry “Oh, Isabella…”
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,” Isabella replied with a smile.
Draxton quickly followed and said, “Master Vaughn, I’ll help you and Bella 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 Isabella bitterly. They had been together for so long, but he had
never tasted Bella s cooking.
He still clearly remembered the first time he met Bella Bella 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.
Isabella sensed his gaze and looked at him blankly. What kind of expression was that? Why did Draxton
look so aggrieved?
Seeing this, Isabella leaned over and softly coaxed Draxton, “Be good. I’ll treat you to delicious food later
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 Isabella’s earlobe. “You wait and see tonight!”
Isabella raised her eyebrows and glanced 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.
Isabella and Draxton immediately became proper and pretended that nothing had happened.
Seeing the three of them happily enter the kitchen, Vanessa’s eyes flashed, and she followed them.
She smiled and said, “Jackson, Bella, 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, come 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 glared at Leward with a sneer “Don’t think I’m not aware of your
relationship 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

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 is coming over
Isabella happened to walk over with braised pork ribs that had just been cooked and commented, “She
came at the right time.”
“Yes, that child knows when there’s good food.” Vanessa smiled and went out to welcome Alanna.
After a while, Alanna walked in with Vanessa just as all the food had been laid on the table.
They sat around the table. Alanna smiled and said, “Bella, 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 Bella mention that she had met you. This is fate indeed.”
Isabella smiled and said to Alanna, “Call me by my name. We’re not that close for you to call me Bella.”
Alanna’s face stiffened as she looked at Jackson with tears in her eyes.
“Mr Vaughn, does Bella have something against me?”
Jackson smiled and answered, “That’s not true. I know that you’re a polite child, but Bella 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
Alanna bit her lip.
On the other hand, Isabella 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 Isabella wouldn’t bother feigning civility if she didn’t like
someone. Alanna sneered to herself when she saw that Isabella was only trying to please Draxton.
Isabella was no match for her when it came to pleasing elders.
Alanna picked up a piece of pork ribs and placed it on Jackson’s plate. “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.
