My Wealthy Husband

Chapter 25 Looking for Me?

Nova turned around and wanted to leave, but Jacob picked her up in Johnny's car and took her away in spite of her resistance.

In the middle of the night, she was taken to the cemetery. Nova gnash her teeth with hatred.

He was insane!

Jacob stopped his always smile. Nova has a strange feeling seeing his face. She could feel his sadness.

After walking for a long time, Jacob stopped. He let go of her hand, bent down, took a candle and lighted it.

Nova glanced at the tombstone and was stunned. The woman on it was very beautiful, and she looked very similar to Jacob. Almost instantly, she knew who it was. Nova didn’t know why Jacob would bring her to his mother's grave.

“I bring her here to see you. Now you can rest in peace.”

Jacob spoke in a low and sad voice.

Nova swallowed and whispered, “What are you doing, Jacob?”

He turned and pulled her into his arms. Nova subconsciously wanted to struggle. He suddenly sighed in a soft tone, "Don't move. I need a hug."

Not knowing if it was her illusion. Nova felt he was a little vulnerable. She couldn't help thinking that when her mother died, she was so vulnerable like him and felt that the whole world had collapsed. She reached out and patted him on the shoulder and whispered, “Don’t be sad. She had become an angel, protecting you.”

Jacob was surprised, and hugged her harder. After a while, he said, “I once promised my mother that I would bring my girlfriend to her. Nova, that’s to say you agree, right?”

What he said pulled her up short. She pushed him away and saw not sadness but smile on his face.

She was so annoyed, pointed to his nose and asked, “Jacob, how could you be so cheeky?”

He grabbed her hand and kissed on it which made her felt like an electric shock. She immediately withdrew her hand with her face blushing.

The man laughed in a low voice. The moonlight sprinkled on his cheek which made the outline clearer and his face more handsome. He smiled gently and leniently. Nova felt like she was on the spell. At this moment, she suddenly wanted to nod her head and agree. Maybe it was time to start another relationship. At least she couldn't lie to herself that she didn’t care because he really had an unknown attraction to her.

“Admit it. You want to sleep with me.”

Jacob suddenly approached her ear and said some ambiguous and sexual words like this. Nova pushed him away and walked out angrily. He laughed out loud, but didn't come forwards to chase her. He looked back at the tombstone next to his mother. It was a handsome young man in it.

Nova waited in the car for a long time before he stepped on the dew going back. His expression was a little serious. Nova guessed it was because he thought of his mother.

“Send me home.”

She said gently. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

However, Jacob opened the top of the cabriolet, put down the back of the chair. He said, "Few people in Y City know that the best place to see the stars is actually in this cemetery."

Nova subconsciously raised her head. He was right. The sky here seemed to be bigger and closer. The moon was very pale. And the stars were dazzling. It was late autumn, she had seldom seen such a starry sky for a long time. She couldn't help relaxing her body and lying down. The wind was cool, and her face became a little cold, but she was very comfortable. She turned her head to watch Jacob. He was looking at the starry sky. Nova suddenly smiled and whispered, “It is said that when people die they will become stars. Maybe that’s why the sky here is starry.”

“Do you believe it?”

Nova closed her eyes and replied, “Yes.”

Because she believed in this, she would feel better.

There was a smile pursing his mouth. In a moment, he asked, “Nova, will you be with me if I am the one who saved you eight years ago?”

Jacob felt so nervous waiting for her answer but she was very quiet. He turned around and found that she was already asleep.

Jacob breathed in relief and smiled. He put down the open top of the cabriolet, took out a blanket from the back for her. He touched her soft face, could not help but bowed his head to kiss her on the eyebrow, and then gently hugged her into his arms.

Tian Haiwan resort was the biggest project of Group Graham and Group Robinson in the past two years. The completion of the first phase of the project was a great success. As the largest water project in Y City, it had been widely concerned by the whole city and even the province. Therefore, the completion ceremony was very grand. As the main leaders of the project, Nova and Ewan paid more attention to the effect of the completion publicity.

Nova worn a red professional dress and a white shirt with a lace collar today. She looked very capable. Her legs looked slender and her line at the waist was more obvious due to the suit. With her long hair specially rolled up, she was the most beautiful woman here. People passing by her couldn't help staring at her. No one could deny that with this beautiful face, even if she was covered with patches, she would be the most eye-catching person in the crowd.

Secretary Lee rushed over in a hurry and reported, “Miss Graham, here comes Mayor Anderson.”

Nova was surprised. She thought of what Jacob said that day and felt a little warm in heart.

She said in calm, “Get Mayor Anderson in seat, I will be right there.”

“Yes.”

“And, where is Mr. Robinson?”

Secretary Lee flickered her eyes and said falteringly, “He... is with... Secretary Graham...”

Nova didn't have much expression. She was busy with the things in her hand.

She said, “Tell him to check the multimedia equipment, confirm the promotional film, and then broadcast the promotional film after the host to finish his opening speech.”

“Okay.”

When Secretary Lee came out from the backstage, she met Ella. She smiled widely and said, “Hi, Secretary Lee, Thanks for your hard working!”

Secretary Lee was stunned. She lowered her head and didn’t give a response.

Ella stretched out her hand to help her adjust the collar, lowered her voice and said, “Secretary Lee, if you want to get achievement, you should see clearly the circumstance and recognize who will be the winner. You have done a good job this time. I heard from Ewan that the financial department in our company is still short of a director. If you want to have a try, I can help.”

Secretary Lee clenched her fist. After a moment, she said, “Miss Graham asked me to inform Mr. Robinson to check the multimedia and put the propaganda film after the speech.”

Ella smiled and brushed past her. She said slowly when leaving, “Smart guy know the ins and outs.”

When she turned around, her face was sullen. She gently held a small USB drive in her hand.

Nova, let’s wait and see what will happen next!

With everyone's expectation, at nine o'clock, the completion ceremony officially began, and the host began to read the opening remarks. Nova sat beside the stage, her eyes unconsciously searching for Jacob in the crowd. She had a feeling that he would come. She was right. In the crowd, a man in casual clothes and a baseball cap took off his sunglasses and smiled at her.

“Looking for me?”
