Chapter 103 A Jealous Man
Samantha was dumbstruck She simply could not understand how this man's mind worked. Soon, she was forced to leave by two staff members of the Traditional Medicine Association
Samantha was brought to and left at the entrance of the Traditional Medicine Association's building. She looked at the tall, solemn building with a twisted expression. She hated the people there very much. After Draxton threw Samantha out, he walked towards Isabella,
Isabella stood in front of the eighty-ninth display case and looked engrossed. She did not pay attention to Cristian beside her until a familiar scent enveloped her.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
She turned around and glanced at Draxton, only to see that Draxton's gaze was not on her but on Cristian.
Cristian also looked at Draxton.
Draxton smiled indifferently and said to Cristian, "Mister, why do you keep staring at my wife?*
Isabella's ears twitched. What was Draxton saying? Cristian was staring at her?
She also turned to look at Cristian.
Cristian also glanced at Isabella. He was stressed out because the man in front of him was giving off a powerful aura.
The man's midnight blue eyes were too overpowering. When he stared at Cristian with those eyes without blinking, Cristian felt that even his brain activity had slowed down. Cristian's mind went blank for a moment. Then, he clenched his fists silently. He managed to calm himself down, but the words that came out of his mouth sounded provocative. "You don't allow people to look at your wife?"
Cristian sounded like he was dissatisfied and wanted to start a fight. However, as soon as Cristian said it, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Isabella didn't think much of it. Cristian was right. Why couldn't others look at her?
Isabella felt some pressure on her waist. She looked down and realized Draxton had wrapped his arm around her waist.
Isabella was a little stunned. Why didn't she realize that Draxton was such a jealous man?
Isabella was still thinking about that when Draxton's voice came from above her head. "Of course, my wife can be looked at but not in the way you did."
Isabella wondered, "In what way did Cristian look at me?"
Isabella was confused.
Cristian smiled. "It turns out that the famous Lockwood family's chieftain is so calculative. I did take a few more glances at Mrs. Lockwood just now because I am an acquaintance of hers. I didn't expect Mr. Lockwood would misunderstand. I'm really sorry."
Draxton said calmly, "It's good that you apologize. Don't ever do that again."
Isabella didn't know what to say.
Why did she feel that the conversation between the two men was a little childish?
Isabella shook her head speechlessly. Her attention quickly returned to the display case.
After she turned around, Draxton and Cristian looked at each other for a moment.
Cristian did not flinch. He looked straight into Draxton's eyes.
There was no emotion in Draxton's midnight blue eyes, but his lips slowly curled into a faint smile. "You're very bold"
Cristian said, "Mr. Lockwood is too kind. It's just that I've done nothing wrong."
When he said that he had done nothing wrong, he was implying that he did not have any unspeakable
intentions for Isabella.
Draxton understood what Cristian was trying to say. Cristian was telling him not to misunderstand Isabella.
Humph!
Cristian was clearly afraid that Draxton would be jealous and hold a grudge against Bella. Draxton immediately felt uncomfortable. He thought, "Why the hell does this guy need to worry about how I treat Bella?"
Draxton was displeased. He said in an arrogant tone, "My wife is the decision-maker at home. I'll do whatever she says.
After saying that, he raised his chin proudly.
Cristian was speechless.
Was he having a hallucination?
Was the man who looked like he was afraid of his wife really the Lockwood family's chieftain?
Cristian suddenly had mixed feelings about Draxton. He had always thought that although Isabella had married into the Lockwood family, a family like that would probably look down on her. Cristian thought that Isabella must have had to tiptoe around the Lockwood family. He never expected Draxton to be like this.
He was happy for Isabella, but more than that, he felt bitter.
Seeing all sorts of expressions that crossed Cristian's sad face, Draxton became even more proud. He rubbed his chin affectionately against the top of Isabella's head and asked gently, "Right, Bella?" "Yeah, you're right,” Isabella replied casually. She did not actually hear what Draxton said to Cristian. When she heard Draxton's question, she just responded perfunctorily.
Anyone could see that she was not paying attention to Draxton. Draxton's face instantly darkened.
At such a critical moment, how could Bella not cooperate with him?
The arm around Isabella's waist tightened.
Cristian's eyes widened slightly, and he almost laughed out loud. At that moment, he started to believe what Draxton had said before.
Obviously, Isabella was very relaxed and casual around Draxton. She was not as cautious and careful as Cristian had imagined after she married Draxton.
Cristian's back was covered in a layer of cold sweat when he faced a big shot like Draxton, but at this moment, the sweat seemed to have dried up.
The Lockwood family's chieftain really had no superiority over Isabella.
"Mrs. Lockwood!" Draxton felt that he had lost face in front of this man who was after Bella. He could not help but use a heavier tone as he called Isabella by her title right next to her ear. Isabella looked at him strangely and asked, "Don't you usually call me by my name?"
Draxton was out of words.
Cristian burst out in laughter.
"I want to call you Mrs. Lockwood now. Mrs. Lockwood, what are you looking at?" Draxton smiled gently as he gritted his teeth.
Isabella lowered her head and looked at the arm around her waist that was getting tighter and tighter. She reminded him in a low voice, "Honey, isn't it inappropriate to hug me on such an occasion?" Draxton was instantly calmed by the word "honey".
His face cleared. He could not help but smile. "Well, this place is secluded. No one will look at us."
Although he said that, he still obediently retracted his arm from Isabella's waist.
Isabella said, "You're right. This place is secluded. The eighty-ninth display case is probably in the most inconspicuous corner in this hall, but look at its content."
Draxton and Cristian looked at the display case.
This display case recorded the life and achievements of the previous president of the Traditional Medicine
Association
However, there was only one sentence.
"Gordan Dunn, the 7th President of the Traditional Medicine Association" was written on the placard and was. followed by the years of Gordan Dunn's birth and death.
His life's achievement was concluded with a simple phrase, "Dunns' Thirty-Six Needles".
Draxton's eyes hardened.
Isabella sneered and said, "Patriarch Gordon Dunn had saved countless people in his life. During wartime, he made countless contributions. His medical skills were incomparable. But after his death, all he got was this.
sentence.
"Dunns' Thirty-Six Needles'. Huh, what a joke!"
"Is that funny? I'm afraid you don't know that when Gordon was alive, he invented a poisonous soup to hurt people for the sake of his reputation. Many people died tragically because they drank his poisonous soup.
"I didn't list his crimes on that placard only because he had once made some great contributions."
Carlos Orwell's disdainful voice sounded behind them.
