Chapter 17 Teasing
“Mr. Lockwood, welcome back.” Seeing Draxton turn off the car, Cooper hurried to greet him.
Draxton raised his eyebrow. Usually, Cooper would not come out of the house to greet him with such
enthusiasm.
As Draxton expected, though Cooper was greeting Draxton, he craned his neck to see who was inside
the car surreptitiously.
Isabella squeezed Ricky’s small hands gently. Ricky looked back at Cooper, a bright gleam in his eyes.
Isabella felt relieved a bit.
She was worried that Ricky, going to a strange place for the first time, might feel insecure.
Seeing his eyes flash and look as they usually did, Isabella drew a breath of relief.

Cooper’s eyes opened wide. When Draxton was a child, he looked exactly like Ricky.
Cooper placed his hand over his chest at once and excitedly looked at the mini version of Draxton. His
eyes were full of love and excitement.
Cooper wanted to take a step forward excitedly, but he had to stay calm. As a butler, he had to remain
composed.
He knew that Draxton’s wife was still inside the car.
“Be careful.”
Draxton held out his hand to hold the car door. Though his face was impassive, his voice was very
tender.
Isabella was surprised. She looked at Draxton quickly and then got out of the car.
Draxton’s mouth pulled to one side. As he expected, Isabella was a scaredy–cat. His helping her hold
the door was not a big deal, yet she looked frightened.
Draxton found her very cute in that department.
“Cooper, this is Isabella Thompson. She’s my future wife. She’s sort of a scaredy–cat, so don’t frighten
her ” Isabella was speechless.
At this, Ricky raised his head and gazed at Draxton silently. He seemed to be puzzled.
He did not know before that a woman who could carry a panther home and make it a pet would be
considered a scaredy–cat.
This was something new to him.
Cooper gave Isabella a once–over without anyone noticing it. His first impression of Isabella was that
she was a quiet and friendly girl. As an old man who had known countless people throughout his life, he

He was glad that Draxton had made a good choice.
Facing an elderly man like Cooper, Isabella could not help but feel slightly shy.
“Bella, this is Cooper. He’s our butler. If you need anything, just ask for him.”
Draxton introduced Cooper to Isabella.
Isabella cast a surprised look at Draxton. She could not believe that Draxton would casually call her
Bella. People who did not know them very well would think that they had known each other for a long
time. isabella suddenly realized that she should greet Cooper. “Cooper, nice to meet you. My name is
Isabella Thompson. I hope we can get along.”
“You’re too polite, Miss Thompson. From now on, we’re all a big family. Alright, please don’t stand here
anymore. Go inside with Ricky.
“I’ve had the chef prepare the lunch. You and Ricky go see your rooms first. If there’s anything you’re not
happy with, just let me know. I’ll have it fixed.”
