Chapter 48 Naughty Parent

Isabella Thompson looked into the man’s midnight blue eyes silently and nodded awkwardly.

“Yes,” she replied.

Then, she could not help but look at Madame Emma Lockwood, who had been blinking at her. Madame Emma Lockwood was squinting her eyes to the point of cramping Isabella tried to suppress the corners of her lips and not laugh.

The man seemed to have sensed something and turned to look at Madame Emma Lockwood with a dark expression. There was finally a hint of helplessness in his voice. “Mom-”

Mom…

Isabella felt even more awkward.

Earlier at the rockery, she thought that servants had stolen food from the main family. In the end, they were caught by people like the butler and were taught a lesson.

However, the truth was….

Madame Emma Lockwood ignored the man’s black face and ran to Isabella Thompson’s side with steady steps as if he had seen his savior. He stuffed a piece of chocolate cake that he had been hiding in his hand into Isabella Thompson’s hand.

Madame Emma Lockwood raised her chin at the man like a proud child. “Look, look, I have such foresight. I knew long ago that my granddaughter-in-law was coming, so I waited for her here with the cake. Stupid son, go away quickly. Not only do I have a daughter-in-law to stand up for me, but I also have a granddaughter-in-law now…”

Madame Emma Lockwood’s curly hair curled up proudly.

The veins on the man’s forehead throbbed, and his face was dark. He said angrily, “Mom, are you being reasonable by stealing desserts? Have you forgotten the doctor’s instructions? You have to steal desserts every day. Count how many cakes you’ve stolen this week?”

“Even if I ate it secretly in the past, I really came here today to wait for my granddaughter-in-law. If you don’t believe me, ask my granddaughter-in-law!”

Madame Emma Lockwood directly pulled Isabella over as a shield.

The man’s face was dignified and cold as he looked at Isabella threateningly.

Isabella had a deadpan expression. She carried the cake and took two steps away from Madame Emma Lockwood. “Grandma, I didn’t tell you that I was coming today. It’s wrong of you to eat secretly.”

Her expression was serious.

Madame Emma Lockwood was speechless.

Her granddaughter-in-law was too disrespectful!

She widened her eyes in disbelief and looked at Isabella with a hurt expression.

Isabella returned the favor with a deadpan exterior.

The man raised his eyebrows in surprise. He did not expect Isabella to go against Madame Emma Lockwood. Logically speaking, shouldn’t she say a few good words to appease Madame Emma Lockwood first?

Isabella took a bite of the cake in her hand. Then, she narrowed his eyes in enjoyment. Under Madame Emma Lockwood’s widened eyes, she said, “It smells so good. No wonder you wanted to eat it secretly!”

Madame Emma Lockwood looked at her and swallowed silently.

Isabella took another bite of the cake without any sympathy and said in enjoyment, “Grandma, we’ve been caught stealing food. We have to find a decent excuse. If there’s really no decent excuse, we have to be bold and take responsibility. At most, we’ll be careful not to be caught the next time we steal food.”

Due to the fact that the man opposite him was too fierce, Isabella did not intend to be polite to him. She directly instigated Madame Emma Lockwood.

Madame Emma Lockwood’s aggrieved eyes suddenly lit up at this moment. She looked at Isabella excitedly and said, “Good granddaughter-in-law, can you help grandma steal the cake next time?”

“How dare she!”

Before Isabella could speak, the man on the other side spoke.

With a dark expression, he glared at Isabella. “Try it if you dare!”

“Grandma, this uncle is too fierce. He’s a little scary.” Isabella blinked at Madame Emma Lockwood and hid behind her while eating the cake.

Madame Emma Lockwood felt a sense of accomplishment from the little girl. She felt she should shoulder the great responsibility of protecting her granddaughter-in-law and fighting against evil forces like her son till the end

She puffed out her chest and said, “How dare you scold my granddaughter-in-law? If you scare my granddaughter-in-law away, my grandson will have no wife. Can you take responsibility?”

The man did not know what to say.

It seemed the man was fuming mad. “Mom, you can’t pamper her. It’s her first time here today. If you pamper her like this, won’t she be high off one’s ass in the future?”
