My Wealthy Husband

Chapter 24 Come with Me

"There's something happened to my family. It's not suitable for Emillie to come back these days. I'll pick her up in a few days. That's it."

Dennis hung up the phone after finishing his words. Nova knitted her brows and decided not to tell Emillie about this.

Today was Johnny's birthday. Nova stopped thinking all this annoying thing and took a beautifully packed box out of the drawer and smiled.

Johnny was a person who enjoyed life very much. The dining place for them was a famous theme restaurant in Y City. The environment here was elegant and simple. Two of them looked like a happy couple in such an atmosphere.

“The fifteenth!”

Johnny said with a resigned smile after he opened the gift box, “This is the fifteenth watch of the same brand you gave me in the past 15 years. You really are the master of perfunctory.”

Nova sipped at the orange juice, said with her brows raised, “This is customized by the company so that I don't need to bother to choose a gift.”

Johnny had nothing to say about the gift. He put down the box and asked smilingly, “Where is your new boyfriend? Doesn’t he feel jealous when you go out alone with me?”

Nova darted him a glance and said, “Do you want to have dinner, or have troubles?”

Johnny shrugged his shoulders and raised his hand, “Okay, I will keep my mouth shut. Waiter! Dish up!”

"Alfred, let's sit over there."

There was a gentle voice behind her. Nova looked up and saw Alfred standing not far away from her. Her fingers which were cutting the food were stopped. Then she lowered her head and gently poked the dishes on the plate, trying to keep calm.

Alfred's eyes went grave when he saw Nova and Johnny. When the woman beside him noticed her expression, she asked with a gentle smile, "Do you know that girl?"

Alfred shook his head slowly, “No.”

When Nova came out of the bathroom later, she threw herself into a man. Without looking up, she leaned slightly out of the way. The man in front of her did the same. She felt strange and frowned. The man sighed and called her name in a low voice.

“Nova.”

Nova got her body stiff after hearing the voice. Her fingers were gathered up tight nervously. And she even felt her breathing stopped for a moment.

She could see Alfred's slender legs. His tall and handsome posture showed the charm of a mature man, but made her feel unfamiliar.

He habitually stretched out his hand to touch her hair, but Nova stepped back vigilantly. His hand stopped in the air, and finally gently retracted.

He sighed, “You’ve grew up.”

She looked at him coldly, flickered her mouth and finally said, “Do I know you?”

Alfred narrowed his eyes and began to smile.

“You still like to bear a grudge.”

Nova was suddenly a little tired of that everything seemed to be under his control. She wondered how the man she fell in love with in those years could be such an unfathomable person. She wanted to end the conversation and was about to leave, but Alfred suddenly grabbed her arm.

He asked in a low voice, “What’s the relationship between you and Jacob?” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

When he asked, his eyes were narrowed and was a sharp light inside. Nova was stunned for a second, then she pushed him away, answered with a trace of irony, “Sexual relationships.”

However, Alfred laughed in a good mood. He said in a soft tone, “You didn’t even change a bit after so many years.”

When Nova was angry, she liked to talk the opposite. In this case, Alfred thought that there was really nothing happened between Nova and Jacob. And he smiled deeply.

Nova watched him calmly, and said, “Do you really think that I am still the innocent girl after six years?”

The smile on Alfred’s face was fading.

Nova continued, “The girl who loved you in those years had already dead. Now the woman standing in front of you is a mercenary businesswoman.”

Alfred drooped his mouth and his eyes went gloomy. He asked after a while, “So you are not kidding, right?”

Nova tightened her mouth and said, “You don’t need to know.”

Then, she brushed past him.

Alfred clenched his fists with his face turned sullen. He was confident and self-motivated all the time. He grew up in an environment that made him get his achievement today with the purpose of being

outstanding. Therefore, he looked down upon a lot of things including love. He previously abandoned Nova without hesitation, but when he became famous and saw her again, he suddenly couldn't control his feeling for her. Over these years, he had been paying attention to Nova and knew that she had been single all this time. The natural superiority of men made him proud. He thought that he was the only one for her in life. However, seeing the scene of her kissing with Jacob in the newspaper that day made him angry and upset. It was not because that he still loved her, he just couldn't accept that she was now together with Jacob!

“Boss, Miss Graham goes out with Mr. Johnny tonight.”

After hanging up the phone, Eric said to Jacob who was having a rest by closing eyes.

“Are you sure she isn’t with Alfred?”

“Alfred is with Miss Evans.”

However, they were in the same restaurant.

Jacob opened his eyes and asked, “Where are they now?”

“They are supposed to be on the way home.”

“Go to the Graham’s. Stop them.”

Eric didn't reply. He felt that the way of his boss chasing the girl was like a teenage hooligan would did that stopped her on the way to school.

"Have a good rest. Tomorrow will be the completion ceremony of Tian Haiwan. All your energy has been in it. Good luck!"

Johnny sent Nova out of the car and said with a smile.

Nova nodded and said, "Be careful on your way. Say hello to your father for me."

Johnny nodded and suddenly reached out his hand to take her hair off her cheek.

“Good night.”

Nova smiled to him in return.

Pow!

The car was suddenly hit by the back. Johnny subconsciously grasped the steering wheel and keep the front glass intact. However, he back cover of the car shook and fell down.

"Drive carefully! Go and see if anyone is hurt."

Nova pulled a long face when she heard the familiar voice.

Jacob got off the car and apologized, “I’m so sorry for scaring you. It was the new driver driving. He was not so familiar with my car.”

He said to Johnny, “I'll have someone to repair your car later. Eric, drive my car and send this gentleman home.”

Nova had nothing to say with this brassy man. She ignored him and asked Johnny, “Are you okay? I go ask my driver to send you home.”

Johnny watched Jacob who was about to lose his temper and said smilingly, “Since this gentleman is so kind, then I will go with his assistant. It's getting late. You should go home and have a rest.”

He gracefully got off the car and smiled to Jacob with full of emotions.

Nova gazed after them until they couldn’t be seen. She was somber on her face and was about to leave.

Jacob stepped forwards and stopped her, “Come with me.”
