My Wealthy Husband

Chapter 23 Dennis, What Are You Up to?

Nova felt her heart trembling. She looked deeply into his eyes but she found nothing but unconcern. She was bitterly disappointed until her hand was grabbed by Jacob.

With faint smile flickered across his lips, he said, “The only thing you need to know is that she’s mine.”

Alfred looked down to their hands together, said, “I thought you are in love with Sasha. It’s said that all the men in Chapman family is constant in love.”

Jacob's eyes went gloomy. At this time, Daniel suddenly stood up and invited his friend to play together. And soon a Chinese woman came out from backstage. They played together with a tacit agreement. When Jacob saw the woman on the stage, he smiled with a little mockery and asked slowly, “Is that because you are getting married so you came back in such a hurry, Mr. Robinson?”

Nova was shocked and watched Alfred who she hadn’t met for six years. However, he didn’t pay attention to her but stared at the woman on the stage smilingly.

“Yes. Please come to my wedding on time, Jacob.”

Nova stood up with her face turning pale. She tried to calm down and said, “Excuse me. I don’t feel well.”

She picked up her purse and left. Jacob walked behind her, but turned back to Alfred and said, “Remember what you said just now.”

Alfred gazed after them and his expression couldn’t be seen through.

“Wait for me to start the car.” Jacob grabbed Nova’s hand firmly and said.

Nova shook him off and complained with anger, “Why are you lying to me? Mr. Jacob Chapman, no, Mr. Bourne, don’t take me as a fool!”

“I didn’t lie to you. I am both Jacob Chapman and Jason Bourne. It’s just, you never ask.” Jacob explained slowly.

“Why are you so angry? Is it for Alfred?”

Nova slapped him with great strength. She clenched her fist since there was a tingle in her hand.

“It’s none of your business!”

Before she turned around, Jacob suddenly pushed her to the wall and kissed her on the lips forcefully which seemed that she was his own treasure.

Alfred was smoking from a distance. He stubbed out the cigarette with his bare hand after seeing them so intimate.

There was groaning coming out of her mouth. Nova's face turned red and she pushed him away. This time, he didn't resist again her push. With one hand of his on the wall above her head, he was holding her waist with the other. He quietly smilingly looked at her blushing. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

“Shame on you!”

At last, she reviled him and glanced at him hatefully.

Jacob didn’t mind her insult at all. He touched her chin, raised her head and looked at her.

“So, you enjoy my kiss, aren’t you?”

Nova was very embarrassed. She didn't want to admit that Jacob did has a fatal attraction for her. And that was why they had a one-night stand before. She felt more embarrassed and annoyed when she was seen through by him.

“!”

Jacob was a little bit upset, but then he laughed and asked in her ear, “Is this a sexual insinuation?”

He flirtatiously touched her waist which made her trembled nervously like an electric shock. She pushed him away and said, “Bored!”

And then she left quickly.

Jacob was standing here and touching his lips, looking a little sad.

After Nova got into the taxi, she calmed down gradually. She closed her eyes and rubbed her eyebrows. She didn't expect to meet Alfred on such an occasion. She thought she would never see him again in the rest of her life, but now she heard about the news that he was going to get married. By now, the relationship between them might come to an end. She quietly looked out of the window. Inadvertently, she suddenly thought of that man who repeatedly kissed her forcefully. Her cheek was blushing. She shook her head to drive him out of her head.

Her phone rang. It was Emilie.

“Emilie?”

“Nova, do you have any other houses?”

Her voice sounded strange like she cried earlier although she was trying to hide it.

Nova frowned and asked, “Where are you?”

“Who did this to you? Is it Dennis?”

Nova stared at the palm print on Emilie's face and almost lost her temper.

Emilie looked terrible. She shook her head and said, “Never mind.”

Nova took ice and put it on her face.

She said to Emilie, “You can live here. This apartment is mine. I've never lived here and few people know about it.”

“Thanks.”

Emilie looked so tired. Nova wanted to ask for more details but she didn’t.

“Sleep well.”

When she picked up her phone and was about to leave, Emilie said, “Don’t tell Dennis.”

Nova stopped her fingers on the phone screen, and nodded.

"You robber! I don't have 30 million for you!"

"Don't lie to me. You are the daughter-in-law in the Robinson family now. Thirty million is a drop in the bucket for you. Ella, it was you that asked me to hurt Nova. If I knew she was the lover of Jason earlier, I wouldn't touch her a bit!"

“Of Who?”

Ella was whey-faced. She grabbed her phone with great strength because of fear.

“Jason!”

The man who was talking over the phone stopped for a moment, then gave an evil laughter.

“I got something of them.”

“What’s that?” Ella asked him nervously.

"The thing that can ruin Nova's reputation. Thirty million and I'll give it to you, deal?"

“I need to see it first.” Ella said in a low voice.

“See what?”

With a sudden voice came from behind, Ella was scared and almost dropped her mobile phone. She quickly hung up, suppressed her panic and smiled.

“Nova, why are you here?”

Nova glanced at Ella’s phone and said, “Where is Ewan? Told him to let the staffs finish the propaganda film of Tian Haiwan as soon as possible. I want to see the work in two days at most.”

“Okay, I will tell him later.”

Her back was soaked in cold sweat, and she finally felt relaxed after Nova left. Her eyes flashed a little elusive evil.

Five days later, Nova got a phone call from Dennis. He sounded tired and cool.

“I feel at ease since Emilie was at your place.”

Nova frowned, “Dennis, what are you up to?”
