My Wealthy Husband

Chapter 17 This House Is Just Lent to You

Emilie grinned. But Jacob was fine with that and he bowed the head to laugh at himself.

“But she doesn’t know me.”

“So it’s a secret love?”

Emilie suddenly raised her voice, and Nova was also too shocked to say.

In French restaurants, dining etiquette was requested. Such noise soon caused plenty of complaints. Soon, a waiter came and whispered. Nova came to herself and then said to Emilie.

“Keep quiet. A loud noise is not allowed here.”

Emilie also realized that she overreacted slightly. So she nodded to the waiter with a sorry smile. However, someone not far taunted.

“Uneducated women shouldn’t turn up here, otherwise, she will make a spectacle of herself like you.”

Emilie got a dark face. Although she had a gay and tolerant disposition, she would never suffer in silence. So she stepped towards that woman who just taunted her, and stood in front of her. Emilie looked at the brand clothes on her, and there was the rich odor of perfume. She sneered.

“I was told that a woman will be as elegant and noble as her smell, but I figure out today when I see you that I was cheated.”

That woman was puzzled. But when she heard the laughter around her, she realized that she was scolded. She got a red face with anger.

“You, you are scolding me?”

Emilie shrugged her shoulders with a smile,

“Did I use swear words?” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

That woman was so angry. Then she saw a man behind them and cried with a grievance,

“Denis, come here. This woman scolded me just now.”

Emilie slowly turned around. She froze when she saw Denis.

It never occurred to Nova that they would meet Denis here. She approached Emilie and looked at the shocked and embarrassed man. She asked in a low voice.

“Denis, you’re having a meal here?”

Denis hurriedly came forward and held Emilie’s hand. He said.

“Emilie, why are you here?”

Emilie stared at him with cold eyes and replied.

“If I don’t come here, I will never know that you have a date with such a beauty. Sorry for disturbing.”

Denis frowned,

“It’s not what you think. She was Rosalie, who grew up with me since I was a child. She just returned home last month.”

“So you are friends from childhood. It’s a perfect match.”

Emilie sneered, and Denis got a bad look. He took her hand, and turned to that woman.

“Rosalie, this is my wife. I have to go now. See you later.”

Then he said to Nova.

“I have to take Emilie home now. Bye.”

He hurried away with Emilie.

Nova looked at their back, and felt worried.

“They will be ok if it’s just a misunderstanding.”

The voice of Jacob came, and Nova turned around to see his deep eyes.

“What if it isn’t a misunderstanding?”

Rosalie sneered and left.

Nova looked a little somber. She was not in the mood for the meal after the unhappy meeting. Jacob gave her a glance and waved to the waiter for check.

When they were near the door, Jacob suddenly laughed.

“I seem to know why Emilie is your best friend.”

Nova paused for a moment. But she quickly realized that Jacob referred to her spicy mouth. If someone another said that, she might consider that he or she was taunting her. While Jacob said that, she believed that he was playing with her. With a red face, Nova hastened her steps.

When Jacob saw her back with a small smile, his face suddenly changed. He took off his coat and stepped to put his coat on her. Before she can react, Jacob lifted her. Nova gave a yelp and then Jacob bowed to her ear, whispering.

“Don’t move. There is a red rose on your skirt.”

Nova was stunned, and instantly aware what he meant. With a purple face, Nova never thought that she would start menstruating now. It’s so humiliating!

Her embarrassed and shy expression made Jacob happily raise his lips. He continued to joke in a low voice.

“Don’t worry. I am the only one to see it.”

Then from throat to cheek Nova was all one hot blush.

Jacob turned not to see her, otherwise, the desire to kiss her would occupy his mind.

He held her into the car.

Nova was covered by Jacob’s coat, embarrassed. Flush, she watched him driving. “Please take me home.” Said she.

Jacob gave a glimpse at her and said nothing.

Nova quietly grabbed the bag in her hand, upset. She sipped her lip. Jacob secretly observed her changing expression, then raised his lips. She was still the girl five years ago. Some things will never change.

When the car stopped, Nova frowned and whispered.

“Mr. Chapman, where do you take me?”

“My house.”

Jacob was concise. He got off and opened the door to hold her.

But Nova just sat there awkwardly, grasping the coat on her legs.

Jacob stooped to pull her out, and whispered before she began to struggle.

“I live alone, and there is no one else here.”

Nova took a deep breath. He could always penetrate what she was think, which made her uneasy.

Jacob lived in QY Community with friendly environment. Most importantly, the privacy of the residents could be secured here. Jacob held her in arms and walked into the community. The property administrators and the security guards they met on the road never talked to them, except for greeting. No wonder so many celebrities chose to buy a house here.

When they entered the elevator, Nova was relieved. Even if no one asked about it, she felt uncomfortable to be held in front of others like that. Now, it was better. However, it seemed to be more embarrassing with them alone here.

Nova’s muscles were tight. She believed that Jacob’s cloth must have been stained.

Jacob looked at her face from white to pink, then to scarlet, with lips raising.

The elevator stopped at the 31st floor.

A man came toward them, and Nova unconsciously buried her head into Jacob’s arms.

Jacob frowned a little when he saw Louie in front of him.

“Why are you at my door?”

“This is my house!”

Louie gave a glimpse at Nova in his arms, frowning.

“The house is just lent to you. Don’t mess around in it.”

With the elevator closing again, Louie left. Holding Nova, Jacob opened the door. At that moment, he suddenly uttered.

“I never mess around with other women.”

Nova was stunned and embarrassed. What did it have to do with her?

After entering the room, Jacob took her to the bedroom, and told her.

“The bathroom is over there. I go and find what you need.”
