Chapter 649
While Olivia rested to recover from her pregnancy, Isabella and Draxton often brought Ollie with them to visit Olivia.
This was because Livvy was really too difficult to deal with. She would only quiet down when she was in Draxton or Isabella's embrace.
Ollie, on the other hand, looked curiously at the crying baby.
They were both babies, but he couldn't help but wonder why Livvy was so loud.
Ollie finally started his way of protesting as well. When Livvy started to cry, he cried too.
The first time Isabella heard Ollie cry, she was shocked. Fortunately, after she picked him up, Ollie immediately stopped crying and flashed her a smile.
After a few more times, Isabella understood that it was Ollie's way of complaining about Livvy being noisy.
After that, Isabella stopped carrying Ollie over.
On this day, Frederick and Arthur came to pay a visit to the Lockwood family again. This time, they brought all kinds of supplements and children's supplies.
When Graham found out that they were dropping by to visit again, he instantly pulled a glum face and seemed displeased.
Frederick looked around the room and said, "Graham, I never thought I'd see the day when you and I would become in-laws!
Graham was instantly unhappy at the sound of it and played dumb, "Frederick, I have no idea what you're saying."
He mentally swore in his head how would Frederick be so shameless as to refer to his family as in-laws.
The smile on Frederick's face was full of pride. "Don't you know? Your grandson-in-law, Jake Quillon, is my grandson. He is my biological grandson."
"Old Quincy, you're not dreaming, are you? You can make such accusations!" Graham rolled his eyes.
Frederick was unhappy either. He didn't anticipate Graham's denial of the issue. His expression abruptly altered. Frederick was about to lash out, but Arthur intervened since he knew his father had a temper.
He said politely, "Old Mr. Lockwood, that's indeed the case. If you don't believe me, why don't you call Jake down to meet us? Moreover, Mr. and Mrs. Lockwood know about this too. My sister, Mandie, has just woken up. She really wants to see Jake. After all, they are mother and _ - II son.
While Graham didn't want the Quincy family to be related to him, this situation involved Jake's kinship, so he didn't stop them.
He asked his men to call Jake to come over. Although inspecting Frederick from head to toe, he didn't appear to like what he saw when he took another look at Frederick.
Frederick, on the other hand, was overjoyed. He chuckled and looked happy.
When Jake came into the room, he noticed Graham's angry expression.
He couldn't help but ask, Grandpa, you called for me?"
Graham pointed at Frederick and Arthur, huffing, "There! They're looking for you."
Then, he rolled his eyes at Frederick.
Jake could see why Frederick and Arthur were here when he glanced at them.
Frederick and Arthur were getting a little emotional. Frederick carefully looked at Jake and muttered, "Yes, you look so alike."
Jake and Jasper indeed looked alike.
However, Jake frowned imperceptibly at the sound of Frederick's words.
He hated Jasper Willsmith, he hated him to the very core.
Arthur managed to notice the change in Jake's expression and quickly said, "You're Jake, right? You might already know who we are. I'm your uncle, and this is your grandfather."
Jake clenched his fists. His eyes were cold when he said, "That is definitely the case in biological terms."
Arthur's expression froze, trying to say, "Your mother really wants to see you. She didn't abandon you. She loves you. She's also a victim here. Can you go see her?"
Jake's expression didn't change at all, and he remained unmoved. He replied, "Mr. Quincy, I don't intend to acknowledge anyone of you. However, if she wants to see me, I will go and see her. But I don't think can give her more than that."
"We're your family!"
Arthur was a little surprised. Jake's attitude was something he had never expected.
Jake was expressionless and very cold.
Arthur said, I know that you suffered a lot when you were young. You might not have any feelings for us. You might have your grievances as well, but we'll compensate you."
Jake said calmly, "I think the best compensation you can give me is to stay out of my life. After all, I'm 30 years old, not three."
As for complaining, he had never done it before.
He had never had anything before. Therefore, he had no hope. So what was there to complain about?
Arthur's eyes widened and exclaimed, "You, you're too cold! Don't tell me you treat everyone like this?"
Jake gave him a quick look and responded, "Not really. I'm actually very enthusiastic around my family and friends. As for people who don't matter, I'm pretty much the same way." Arthur immediately felt aggrieved. To Jake, it turned out that they were irrelevant people and could not even be considered family and friends.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Frederick's face darkened.
He had lived for so long. How could he not see through a person's mind? Jake had indeed treated them as people that didn't matter.
This cold attitude of Jake's was truly heartbreaking.
Graham was amused and said, "Frederick, look, it's still up to fate whether we can become in-laws. There are some things in life that can't be forced upon!
