The Billionaire’s Kick-Ass Wife By Alice Walker Chapter 17
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.
Draxton turned around, held Ricky in his arms, and then took him out of the car.
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

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 k
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 kno
