Chapter 645
Elodia rushed to meet Isabella as soon as she got back to the Northernville Manor.
As Isabella saw Elodia, she instantly noticed the sharpness and hardness in Elodia's gaze. She couldn't help but feel slightly astonished, but she also felt proud of her.
"Bella, I may have gone bad," Elodia murmured.
Isabella arched one of her eyebrows and asked, I heard that you got someone to run over Benjamin's leg?"
Elodia's normally assured gaze was now filled with doubt. She did not have the courage to look Isabella in the eye as she apologized to Bella and said, "I'm sorry. Perhaps I'm a truly awful person. Yet I don't feel any remorse for having done this."
"For what reason do you feel sorry? You didn't let me down. Before you act on anything, the only person you should be thinking about is yourself. Since you have done it, just think about bearing the consequences. After everything Benjamin has done to you, why can't you take revenge on him now that you can? I'm only afraid that you won't be able to handle the consequences of your actions." That was all Isabella could say.
Elodia tried to explain herself, "I cannot take the brunt of the consequences alone. Despite this, I went ahead and did it because I know you will be there to back me up."
Isabella squinted her eyes and chuckled lightly, "Then I have to thank you for trusting me."
Elodia saw that Isabella's eyes were bright and held without any hint of judgment. Elodia couldn't help but grin. This time, she was really contented and able to let go of everything. "Bella, it feels good to be a bad guy once in a while."
She sat across from Isabella and fixed her gaze on Isabella with her dazzling eyes.
She had no idea when it began, but she soon developed a deep admiration for Isabella. Isabella had an untouchable idol position in Isabella's head.
Elodia was staring at Isabella intently as Draxton entered the house.
Something more than platonic friendship existed between the two girls, as seen by the glow in Elodia's eyes.
Draxton felt his mind was completely blown away. He realized he needed to guard against both men and women in the future.
At first, he was willing to help Elodia because of Bella.
For now, all he could think was that as a man, he had to be colder and more ruthless.
Otherwise, he would undoubtedly lose his status!
"Bella, is Ollie asleep? Draxton came striding over and abruptly broke Elodia's eye contact.
Elodia was surprised to see him. She had a slight feeling that Draxton's demeanor was off in some way, but she was unable to pinpoint what it was.
Draxton sat down alongside Isabella tenderly and stretched out to bring her into his embrace. He asked gently, What do you want to eat tonight? I'll go and prepare it."
Isabella cast a sideways look at him. She wondered why Draxton was behaving so strangely today, but she couldn't seem to figure it out.
Isabella said, "I love everything that you make. They're really delicious."
She talked with an overly expressive look of love on her face.
Draxton was happy as he secretly throw a look at Elodia.
Seeing Elodia's blank expression, he could not help but snort coldly in his heart. It was really difficult to guard against a thief.
He had to think of a way to get Elodia out of his house and not make Bella unhappy.
However, for now, he could not let Elodia get any closer to Bella.
Hence, he said, "Miss Hudson, Key has been quite concerned about you since your accident. I'll have someone send you to the Lockwood family's residence now. Don't worry, with my people around, Gary won't dare to act hastily."
When Elodia heard this, she was extremely grateful for Draxton.
For Mr. Lockwood to take notice of a nobody like her, Elodia knew it had to be because of Bella.
Elodia's appreciation for Draxton briefly shifted to appreciation and enthusiasm for Isabella. She looked at Isabella with delight.
As he noticed her affectionate gaze on Isabella, the veins on Draxton's forehead throbbed.
He couldn't stand it any longer. Draxton immediately called Silas and asked him to send Elodia to the Lockwood family's residence to see Kieran.
From this day onwards, Draxton would arrange for his men to send Elodia over and spend time with Kieran every day.
Elodia no longer had the chance to speak to Isabella.
Isabella began to suspect that something was off, but she had no idea what Draxton was up to.
In a blink of an eye, Isabella and Ollie reached their full moon phases.
Overall, Isabella had a good physique. After the golden butterfly had woken up, her strength increased even more.
On the day of the full moon, Draxton gave Isabella the jade he had gotten from the Quincy family.
The golden butterfly rapidly fluttered toward the jade after picking up on its aura and being drawn to it.
After circling the jade, the golden butterfly settled on Isabella's ear.
They seemed to be communicating.
A moment later, Isabella's eyes glowed up. Excitedly, she told Draxton, "The golden butterfly said that the honey contained in this jade had been absorbed for a long time. It's very nourishing. Furthermore, it's also very beneficial for the children's butterflies to eat. Especially Ricky's butterfly. It has always been weak. It's possible that this is a chance for improvement."
When Draxton heard this, he couldn't help but feel excited. He immediately stood up and called the children over. Betty and Ricky were called over.
It was morning. The children were both fast asleep until their father woke them up. The two of them looked dazed.
Isabella immediately smiled at the sight of them as she planted sweet kisses on the children's cheeks.
The two kids grew sleepier right away. Without thinking, they dove further into Isabella's arms. They had instinctively formed a strong attachment to their mother that was deeply ingrained in their head. Isabella hugged the kids even tighter and smiled in amusement, "My precious, I made something delicious for you today."
Crack!
The kids were instantly wide awake.
Isabella looked at them in confusion.
The children flushed, and Betty said sheepishly, "We're grownups now, mom. We're all big now. We can't fight with Ollie over food.
Isabella was stunned.
It took her a moment to realize what they were talking about.
She couldn't help but chuckle, asking, "My precious, so you're thinking of snatching food from Ollie?
Both of them started blushing and shaking their heads nervously at the same time.
Isabella looked at them meaningfully and said, "Oh, so you don't want to. I know that none of you will try to steal food from Ollie."
The children nodded stiffly. Ricky asked, "Mom, what food did you say you'd made for us just now?"
The little guy looked at her with his big round eyes. He seemed as composed as an adult, despite his young age. He was the cutest thing ever.
Isabella said, "My precious, summon your butterflies out."
The two little guys were puzzled, but they still obediently summoned their butterflies.
The two butterflies, one pink and one dark blue, took to the air as soon as they emerged, flapping their wings and flying circles around one another. That was a stunning sight to see.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
The black butterfly, who had felt everything, likewise emerged from Ollie and joined the other butterflies in flight.
It looked like it was a smart follower of his siblings.
However, they soon discovered the jade.
Isabella cracked open the jade with the help of her Butterfly Wing.
The room was immediately filled with a fragrant aroma as the honey that had been preserved there for eons began to seep forth.
The golden butterfly swooped down with the other three little butterflies, diving for nectar in the jade.
Both Betty and Ricky's eyes widened in wonderment as they took in this sight.
