My Wealthy Husband

Chapter 52 A Meal First

Nova couldn't help but walked forward and held his hand. She had experienced the pain of losing a loved one, but he lost two of his relatives in the same year. This kind of pain was beyond people's comprehension, and she suddenly began to feel distressed.

It was as though he had sensed her sentiments, the man turned his head and smiled comfortingly at her, and whispered, “Nova, it's my mother's birthday today and also my elder brother's birthday.”

Nova's throat was a little dry, she suddenly stood on tiptoe and hugged his neck, whispering,

“It's already over.”

The man did not speak, his eyes faintly looked to the distance, but he held her waist harder, wishing they were one.

After they returned from the cemetery, he began to be uncommunicative again. This time, Nova accompanied him silently. At this point, any comfort is worthless. Only if the person slowly figured it out, would they feel better.

“Nova, don't you have anything to ask me?”

After a long time, he asked softly.

Nova shook her head.

“Let's talk about it when you are willing to tell me.”

The man froze for a moment and held her tightly in his arms the next second.

“Elliot is my elder brother’s son.”

After a while, the man said this in a deep voice. Nova was taken aback, not knowing what expression she should do now. This fact made her happy, but at the same time, she was more puzzled, because this matter is far from simple.

“My big brother...”

The man paused, and he said cautiously.

“Elliot is his only blood. I have the responsibility to take care of him, so you might need to suffer some aggrieve. Do you regret it?”

“If I do regret it, will you let me go?” Nova raised her eyebrows slightly.

The man immediately squeezed her hand and said firmly, “No!”

“Then, would you make me feel aggrieved?”

Nova held on to this sentence.

"How can I make you feel aggrieved?” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

The man's tone was a little anxious.

Nova bends the corners of her lips, “Didn't you just say that?”

The man bit her lips angrily and squinted, “So naughty!”

Nova's cheeks blushed. Each time they had such kind of over-intimacy made her blush and heart flutter as the other party was him.

“I'm afraid I'm not doing enough.”

After the joke, Nova's tone became serious.

“I don’t know how to get along with a child. I am afraid that my unconscious actions will hurt Elliot. As you know, my family had never taught me how to take care of another person. I am afraid that others will call it a show if I treat him too well, or if I don't well, they would treat it as I am abusing him. If that happens, will you regret it?”

The man frowned, pressed her red lips, and whispered.

“We are talking about family affairs now, don't bring your negotiation skills into this. Elliot is my son and yours. If you want to beat or scold him, it has nothing to do with others! You are thinking of ways not to get married to me, is it?”

His expression changed slightly when after he spoke, and solemnly said, “It can't be that you are still thinking about your old lover, is it!”

That statement made Nova's heart sink slightly. Without speaking a word, he opened the door and got out of the car. The man observed the scene and realized that he had said something wrong. He quickly got out of the car and stopped her, confining her in his arms, and said incoherently, “Babe, I'm the one who caused trouble. I'm jealous. I'm narrow-minded. You're so forgiving, don't be fussed with me.”

Nova was flushed with anger at his cheeky words and gritted her teeth.

“Let me down!”

The car was on the side of the road, and there were other people around. Nova was already embarrassed being in the man's arms under the public's scrutiny, in addition to the cheesy words that were coming from him.

The man looked at her expression and saw that she was angry, so he quickly put her down, but held her hand tightly.

Nova blushed has yet to subside, she looked at the gaze projected from people around, she wanted to find a hole to jump in.

“Let go of me!”

Nova shook his hand, but the man resolutely did not move. ‘What if his wife ran away, what would he do?’

Nova bit her lip and screamed in a low voice.

“Get in the car. Don't embarrass yourself!”

The man's eyes immediately lit up and he pulled the door to help her into the car.

Nova's anger has been mostly relieved when she was in the car, but she didn't want to pay attention to him. The man thought she was still angry, so he quickly comforted her.

“Babe, you have to be considerate of me, you and your old lover... Brandon was your first love, that scumbag Ewan was your former fiancé. As your future husband, I can’t help but worry.”

“In your heart, am I that sort of whimsical woman!”

It would have been better if he had not said it, Nova became even angrier when he said it.

“Of course not!”

The man quickly denied, “My wife is too good, I'm afraid they would be covetous and be hung up on you.”

Nova snorted and turned her head to ignore him.

The man looked at the corners of her curled lips and knew that she was no longer angry, so he started the engine and drove the car.

At this moment, his mobile phone rang suddenly, and the man glanced at it and said, “Answer the phone for me.”

Nova looked and was taken aback. Only those who are intimate would they let the other party pick up their calls. Are they at this stage? It seemed that everything was moving so naturally. She picked up the phone and pressed answer, and soon a voice was heard, “Jason, where are you?”

A woman's voice.

Nova was stunned for a moment, her eyes turned slightly to the man who was driving next to her, and then she gently pressed the speaker button.

Without waiting for a response, the woman continued.

“I am back.”

“Screech...”

The car made an arched mark on the road and suddenly braked. The man turned and looked at Nova. The latter's expression was faint, and he couldn't see tell from her expression. He took the phone, directly cut the call, and coughed, “It's a wrong number.”

After he spoke, he felt that he dug his own grave. That made it subtly clear that he was guilty conscious.

Nova glanced at him lightly, her pale lips pressed together tightly, and she said solemnly.

“Back to the office.”

“Let's have a meal first.”

The man smirked dryly and then felt that his laugh was a bit stupid at this time, and his face became sullen.

“Comrade Graham, you can't practice domestic violence against me for such insignificant matters!”

Nova twitched the corner of her mouth, gritted her teeth.

“How have I been violent to you!”
