Chapter 246 Get Another Wife For Draxton
Draxton glanced coldly at Zack. He only glanced at the girl, but it was only a glance before he suddenly met a pair of strange eyes. He was in a daze, and he had a feeling that he could not look away.
However, in the blink of an eye, he broke the strange attraction forcefully and forced his gaze away. His face was already ashen.
A hint of excitement flashed through the girl's eyes. As expected of the Lockwood family's patriarch. His willpower was extraordinary.
However, in the blink of an eye, she lowered her eyes weakly, looking weak and harmless.
"Jen... Is your name Jen?" At this moment, Willow's trembling voice broke the silence.
The girl raised her head and nodded at Willow.
"Jen, are you really my Jen? Is my Jen still alive?"
Willow pushed the person supporting her away and quickly rushed in front of the girl. She stretched out her hands and trembled, wanting to hug the girl. However, she did not really pull the girl into her arms. Her eyes shone with a layer of tears, and her trembling fingertips were filled with caution.
Jen blinked and confusedly looked at Willow. "Old Miss Lockwood, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
"Y-You're not my Jen..."
Willow's eyes were filled with disappointment and pain. She still stared at Jen and observed her again and again.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Patriarch Lockwood frowned. He stepped forward and said to Willow, "Aunt Willow, Jennifer has been dead for over 60 years."
That was right. If Willow's dead daughter were still alive, she would only be ten years younger than Patriarch Lockwood.
The girl in front of them clearly only looked like Willow's daughter, Jennifer Cratin.
Of course, she couldn't be Willow's daughter.
Willow came back to her senses in a daze. Tears were already streaming down her face with exquisite makeup.
She had dedicated her entire life to the family but let her daughter down.
She was ruthless and abandoned her daughter back then.
His daughter was the pain Willow would never be able to let go of in his life.
Willow sobbed uncontrollably. She raised her old, trembling hands and gently caressed Jen's face. She was cautious, as if she was caressing a fragile treasure.
Her hand caressed the young girl's eyebrows, eyes, nose, and lips, not letting go at all.
She sobbed, "Freeman, she looks too much like Jennifer. Besides, her name is also Jen..."
Patriarch Lockwood glared at Zack with a dark expression. This old thing was really evil. He used such a despicable trick.
Zack lowered his eyes. His expression was calm, but his eyes were filled with smugness.
"Aunt Willow, many people have the same look on this earth. It's just a coincidence," Patriarch Lockwood advised.
However, Willow was stubborn. She looked at the girl greedily and slowly shook her head. "This must the God returning my Jen to me. God has sent her back to my side." Patriarch Lockwood wanted to say something, but Zack smiled and spoke.
"Aunt, this matter is really strange. Samson and I originally planned to go to Willow Estate to visit you. We didn't expect to meet Jen halfway.
"Tell me, if this isn't fate, what is? How can there be such a coincidence in this world? Jen happened to appear near Willow Estate, and we found her?"
When Willow heard this, she was even more confident that the girl before him was her dead daughter.
*Jen, come, come to my side," Willow held the girl's hand tightly and brought Jen to her side.
She wiped the tears off her face and smiled happily.
Jen obediently followed beside Willow. Zack followed and said, "Aunt, Jen said that she admires Draxton.
"You also know that when Jen died, she was already at the age of a young girl yearning for love. If she hadn't encountered misfortune, she would have already been betrothed back then." A nostalgic look appeared in Willow's eyes. Zack continued.
"Although Jen might be Jennifer. However, she is not part of the Lockwood family anymore. It's not against ethics to marry her to Draxton."
"Zack, you're bullshitting!"
Patriarch Lockwood was furious. His temper completely exploded. He pointed at Zack's nose and started
cursing.
A smug look appeared on Zack's face. He didn't argue, but lowered his eyes without saying a word.
As expected, the next moment, Willow said, "Freeman, we are a family. This a gathering of the family Why are you angry?"
After reprimanding Patriarch Lockwood, she didn't say anything else. Instead, she led Jen to her seat and sat
down.
Besides the seats of the patriarch and the patriarch's wife, Willow's seat was the closest to the main seat
But at this moment, Jen was sitting together with Willow.
The atmosphere in the hall was extremely strange.
Draxton looked at Zack and the girl with killing intent.
Isabella stood silently beside Draxton. At this moment, she was already certain that the girl was not an ordinary person. She felt an extremely dangerous aura from her.
It was pretty interesting.
Willow looked in the direction of Draxton and Isabella and said, "Draxton, is everyone here? If everyone is here, let's start the banquet."
Draxton immediately held Isabella's hand and walked towards their seats.
Everyone went to their seats.
The Lockwood family's entire clan gathering was not as simple as just eating and talking.
First of all, the people in charge of each branch had to report their work over the past year.
Secondly, they had to explain the plan for the new year briefly.
In addition, the patriarch had to give the transfer of personnel, rewards, and penalties to each branch.
By the time everything was done, two to three hours had passed.
At 11:30 p.m., the Lockwood family's gathering finally finished its work segment. The solemn atmosphere suddenly relaxed
Only then did everyone start to chat.
At this moment, Willow spoke, "Draxton, the Lockwood family generations of patriarch's wife are the leader of this house. There has never been a precedent of the patriarch's wife being in charge of Big Dipper "You did not make a good decision this time."
Isabella casually played with the Big Dipper ring on her finger and calmly faced the countless gazes directed at her in the hall.
Her posture was leisurely and unhurried. She was not nervous about the current situation or the occasion at all.
It was as if she was not the one who was about to lose Big Dipper power.
Draxton said in a deep voice, "Great grandAunt, husband, and wife are a family. I think it's suitable for the Big Dipper to be controlled by Bella.
"If there's no tradition with that, we'll break it."
"Nonsense!" Willow slammed the table and growled, "You've broke the tradition. Just wait for the house to be in chaos."
"The ancient dynasty had already said that harems should not interfere in politics. The rules passed down by the ancestors naturally had their reasons.
"Once you set the rule of the patriarch's wife taking over Big Dipper's power, will the subsequent patriarch's wife follow suit?
"In the long run, will the Lockwood family still be the Lockwood family? You're cutting the Lockwood family in half and giving it to someone else."
Draxton said, "Great grandaunt, the Lockwood family's patriarch's wife belongs to the Lockwood family. She is not an outsider."
Willow looked at Isabella with a deep gaze. Previously, she was only a little unhappy with Isabella and felt that she was too eye-catching. However, after seeing Jen, she felt that Isabella was an eyesore.
Willow said, "Alright, Draxton. Let's not talk about Big Dipper first. Let's talk about our patriarch's wife candidates."
Draxton frowned. Willow said, "Our Lockwood family only started to have one wife from your grandfather's generation.
"Your great-grandpa generation still has more than two wives.
"Although times have changed and everyone only has one wife, the Lockwood family isn't an ordinary family. As the patriarch, if you marry another wife, outsiders won't say anything about it."
