The Billionaire's Kick Ass Wife (Isabella Thompson)

Chapter 7 Two Sweeties

The little girl tilted her head to one side with an aggrieved expression on her rosy face. Then she turned around and ran toward the woman with the puppy in her arms.

"Mom, Witty-Whitey is just chicken-hearted. I didn't bully him. I'm a kind girl!"

The woman gently pinched the little girl's nose and said, "Sure. Betty is a kind and pretty little girl. Witty-Whitey is such a coward!"

Amused, Isabella took the chubby puppy from her daughter's arms. The puppy was playing dead and cracked open one eye, breathing a huge sigh of relief when realizing that he was finally in the clear. "But my little brother said I bullied Witty Whitey."

The girl complained, blinking her big, dark blue eyes.

The boy heard her words and walked over. Then, looking at the girl with a straight face, he said, "Betty, I'm not your little brother. I'm older than you."

The girl pouted her pink lips and lifted her chin. Then, with a snort, she retorted, "Maybe Mom was wrong about which of us she gave birth to first, and I came out before you."

The little boy's brows wrinkled. The resigned look in his eyes was at odds with his young age.

"Betty, be a good girl and admit I'm the older one of us." The boy doted on his sister on everything but this

matter.

"No way," the little girl replied firmly.

Isabella looked at them resignedly. Both of her children were just as obstinate as that man.

She had told them that Betty was the younger sister, but the little girl never accepted it and insisted that she was the older one of the twins.

Ever since she learned to speak, she had called the boy her little brother.

In the plane crash five years ago, Isabella had fallen into the ocean and been saved by a passing cruise ship.

The cruise ship's owner who had saved her was a mysterious and powerful woman.

Without her, Isabella wouldn't have survived and given birth to the two cute kids.

It was out of Isabella's expectation that she'd gotten pregnant on that rainy night with a baby boy and a girl.

It was a month later when the cruise ship returned to Lotus Village, and Isabella had been in a coma all this time.

In Lotus Village, Grandmaster checked on her body and surprisingly found that she was pregnant.

Recalling how she had ended up there, Isabella smiled a little. She had almost died back then, but she had made it to leave that sad place and start afresh. Now, besides her two kids, who were the most important people in her life, she also had several masters. They were all her family.

With them around her, she finally knew what it felt like to have a home.

A whiff of sweet fragrance interrupted her train of thought, and a sexy woman came into sight.

The woman was wearing a bright red fishtail dress that was tight around her hips, looking striking with exquisite makeup and the black waves of her hair swaying in the wind.

She moved confidently, and her presence immediately made the courtyard a stage where there seemed to be limelight from every direction.

"Sweeties, have you missed your grandma?" Hearing the woman's sultry voice, Isabella rubbed her forehead. The beautiful woman calling herself grandma looked only in her thirties. Although Isabella had heard her refer to herself that way numerous times, she still hadn't gotten used to it, thanks to that young and alluring face.

"Grandma Grey!"

The two kids spun around when they heard the woman's voice and dashed toward her like two merry butterflies.

The woman crouched down and wrapped both her arms around the two kids. She dropped kisses on their

cheeks before looking up at Isabella with a grin.

She was the mysterious woman who had saved Isabella on the cruise ship back then.

"Bella, I came to pick up the little ones to have classes at my place."

The thought of what Master Grey taught in her classes made Isabella's lips twitch, and she replied unwillingly, "Okay."

Jocelyn cocked an eyebrow and looked at her playfully. "The kids are very interested in what I teach them in my classes. They have inherited your talent!"

Betty clapped her hands and chirped, "Yes, Mom. We love playing with little bugs."

The boy was more reserved but didn't look resistant in the slightest way.

Isabella was rendered speechless.

Jocelyn held the hands of the two excited kids and walked out of the courtyard.

Once Betty left, the puppy in Isabella's arms returned to life and jumped off the swing, running into the flowers and rolling gaily.

At that moment, a short old man ran in from outside with a prescription in his hand, yelling, "Bella, I need your help. I got a new prescription here. There seems to be something wrong with it, but I can't tell how." Isabella's eyes lit up. She hurried to take the prescription over and perused it. Then, after thinking for a while, she said, "There's indeed something wrong. Grandmaster, the dose of the last medicine is 0.1 milligrams more than the standard."

"Oh, yeah!" The old man patted his forehead and ran away in haste.

Isabella stared after the old man and couldn't imagine how bad she would feel if she had to leave one day.

Her two kids were now four years old. Isabella didn't know how long she could stay in this beautiful small village.

When thinking about the future, she didn't expect the change to happen so soon.

"What? They've found Lotus Village?"

One night a few days later, Isabella stared in astonishment at the computer screen in front of her.

"We got the news ten minutes ago. It's so hard to get rid of Draxton Lockwood."

Mr. Langley sat before the computer with a deadpan face, and his voice was lifeless.

Jocelyn and the short old man were standing next to them, both with grave expressions.

"That man is so obsessed with finding you. He has been after you for five years. It was just a one-night stand. Does he have to go to so much trouble to hunt you down?" Jocelyn snarled angrily. Isabella gave her a bitter smile. She couldn't understand why that man was still looking for her after five years either.

After the plane crash, that man had put the word out that she must be found, dead or alive.

He'd even had an arrest warrant issued.

For the past five years, Isabella's name had been at the top of the "most wanted" list.

To prevent that man from discovering her, Isabella had never taken one step out of Lotus Village all these years. Hiding for her life was just part of the reason. She had stayed in Lotus Village also because she had taken it

as her home.

"I'll leave Lotus Village with the kids." She knew that if she stayed any longer, her master and other teachers would be implicated.

Lotus Village was a mysterious village where hotshots from all walks of life gathered. In the past five years, Isabella learned a lot from her master and other teachers and gained status and a new identity. She was confident that she could protect herself and her children after leaving Lotus Village.

Mr. Langley, who was still facing the computer, said in a disapproving tone, "Where can you go? You know how powerful the Lockwood Group is. He will find you wherever you go."

Isabella's eyes turned a bit brooding. "The best place to hide is in plain sight. I will go right under his nose."
