The Billionaire's Kick Ass Wife

Chapter 9 Arrived in Dawton City

Speaking of that, the old man felt complicated feelings.

"Then hurry up. Tell Betty what she needs to learn before it's too late!" Jocelyn roared testily.

"Grandma Grey, don't be angry. I don't feel any pain at all."

Betty realized that she had done something wrong and looked guilt-ridden.

"Grandma Grey, Grandpa, Grandpa Langley, I'll be careful with what I eat in the future."

The little girl looked at them with teary eyes in a pacifying manner.

Isabella caressed her head, knowing it wasn't time to scold her.

"It's good that you know you are wrong. But don't do something so dangerous again, okay?" Isabella said.

Betty nodded obediently.

Isabella stroked her soft curly hair and then turned to the old man. “Grandmaster, what has been done can't be undone. Please save Betty.

"I'll keep an eye on her to ensure she won't use the Legacy of Evil Doctors to cause any trouble."

The old man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead again. "No. She doesn't need me to teach her anything. What do you think those poisonous pills can do?

"They are lethal and can end the life of those who consume them instantly. A long time has passed since little Betty took them, but she's still fine. The only explanation is that little Betty has already learned the Rhythm of Evil Doctors."

1sabella was dumbstruck.

So were the others.

Betty's eyes fell on each one of them, and she said meekly, “Mom, I found some human-shaped toys in the cabinet, and they are very interesting. I followed the patterns on them and played a game. It was so much fun. Look, Mom."

Betty took out a figurine made of jade from her pajama pocket. The figure's surface was covered with complex marks of organs and veins.

The whole thing looked like a geometric riddle.

Isabella opened her eyes wide.

"Mom, I'm fine, and I like this game. Can you let me play it every day?"

The little girl looked at Isabella pleadingly.

For a moment, Isabella and the others were all at a loss for words.

"It's a blessing! No one has shown such talents in thousands of years."

Grandmaster couldn't help but marvel at what he saw.

He said to Isabella, "Bella, I'm afraid little Betty can't leave with you for now. She has to stay with me so I can give her guidance."

The old man rubbed his hands together excitedly.

Isabella's heart tightened. At this point, she was left with only one choice. Leaving Betty seemed inevitable. "Betty, Mom intended to take you and your brother away from Lotus Village and start a new life somewhere else.

"But now, you have to stay here with your grandpa. So you will be separated from your brother and me for

some time."

Isabella touched Betty's cheek and felt terrible about leaving her behind.

It took Betty some time to understand her words, and then she nodded in an amenable way. "Mom, don't be sad about leaving without me. After I finish learning here, I'll go meet you and Ricky." Betty didn't ask her to stay.

It made Isabella more reluctant to leave.

She stared at Betty without blinking.

Betty looked back at her, spread her little arms, and threw herself at Isabella. "Mom, I caused you trouble. Sorry."

She buried her face in Isabella's chest and sobbed.

Isabella felt so heavy-hearted that, for one moment she had the impulse to stay in Lotus Village or take Betty away with her. But rationality soon got the better of her, and she knew that she had no choice.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"Bella, Betty is a big girl now. She has the right to choose her path.

"She has made her decision, and we should support her. With us around her, she will be taken good care of.

"You have no idea how much we wish little Ricky could stay too," said the old man as he dabbed at the tears in his eyes.

Isabella's eyes flicked between the old man and the little girl as she hesitated about whom she should soothe first.

The stir Betty caused kept everyone up until midnight. Isabella carried her home and found that Ricky had woken up when they were gone.

He was waiting patiently on the bed, staring at the door with wide-open eyes.

At the sight of Isabella and Betty, he gave a slight smile.

Isabella bent down and planted a kiss on his cheek. "Hey, Ricky. Did you wake up because Mom and Betty were not around?"

Ricky nodded and took in the dark circles under Betty's eyes. "Mom, what's wrong with Betty?" he asked.

Isabella never answered their questions perfunctorily just because they were kids.

Therefore, she seriously told Ricky what had happened and that they would soon leave Lotus Village.

Ricky might not understand what was happening, but she had to tell him everything.

"Is it because... he has found us?" Ricky looked at her with starry eyes.

Those eyes made Isabella feel a lump in her throat, and she almost cried.

Although she was in deep water now, she never had for one second regretted bringing her kids into the world.

Instead of giving him an evasive answer, Isabella nodded and said, "Yes. Mom made a mistake back then. So it makes sense that he wants to punish me.

"But Ricky, Betty, you are the most adorable angels in the world. Mom loves you so much."

Ricky nodded in earnest. "Mom, let's go to sleep."

Isabella kissed him and Betty lovingly before falling asleep with them.

Two days later, Isabella left Lotus Village with Ricky.

Betty and the teachers stood at the village entrance, waving them off.

At the airport of Dawton City, a tall and slender woman with long hair in a beige coat strolled out. She was wearing sunglasses and holding the hand of a four-or-five-year-old boy in one hand and a suitcase in the other.

She was eye-catching, with fair and smooth skin. Even though the sunglasses hid a large part of her face, her well-formed jawline and sensual lips said that she was a knockout.

The little boy beside her was wearing a blue beret, a cute white hoodie under denim overalls, and a pair of brown leather shoes. He looked adorable and smart.

He was wearing the kid version of the same sunglasses as the woman's, which concealed his midnight blue

eyes.

As they walked out of the airport, passers-by kept glancing back at them with impressed looks, wondering if they were celebrities.

Returning to the familiar place made Isabella feel so composed.

She was full of confidence now and had moved on from the excruciating past.

Her source of confidence was her two kids.

They kept her driven and happy.

Isabella squeezed the boy's chubby hand and dipped her head to flash a smile at him.

"Baby, Mom can finally take to have fun in the amusement parks that you have only seen on TV. Are you happy?"

Ricky's eyes behind those sunglasses lit up. He barely got carried away, but anticipation colored his tone when he replied, "Yes!"

Isabella involuntarily let out a sweet giggle

The boy was delighted too, but he expressed his feelings with a quiet smile curling his rosy lips.

A man passed them with his assistant and was drawn by their conversation.

The woman's voice was clear and silvery, while the boy's baby voice was so endearing.

Even if he'd only heard their voices, he felt the heartwarming vibes between mother and son

He couldn't help but turn his head to look in their direction.
