My Wealthy Husband

Chapter 8 Dance, Will You?

“So?”

The little boy tilted his head and considered for a while,

“I saw great grandpa.”

Then he sighed like an adult,

“Dad, you never hold me when great grandfather is away. You hypocrite.”

Jacob narrowed his eyes, pinched his little cheek and said with a smile.

“If you say it again, believe it or not, I’ll throw you down now!”

The little man quivered and immediately hugged his neck tightly.

Nova listened to the interaction between the father and son, and she couldn’t resist the corners of her mouth raising.

From the corner of his eye, Jacob saw her smile before she could stop herself. Nova bowed her eyes in shame like a child who had been caught doing something wrong.

Out of her sight, Jacob lifted the corners of the mouth slightly.

“What do you want me to do?”

Nova was stunned for a moment. Then she reflected that he was asking her, so she immediately replied.

“I heard that the you have some friendship with Mr. Bourne, and I hope you to introduce me to him.”

As soon as the little boy heard “Mr. Bourne”, he immediately widened his eyes, blushed and excited, as if he wanted to say something.

Jacob narrowed his eyes and gave him a cold glance. The little guy immediately put out his hand to cover his mouth, looking innocent. Jacob raised his eyebrows and asked casually.

“For what do you want to see Mr. Bourne?”

Nova thought about it and said frankly.

“I want to talk to Mr. Bourne about Tian Haiwan.”

Hearing, Jacob walked into a room and turned on the light. He put the little boy on the bed and said in a low voice.

“Sleep now, or you will be found drinking.”

The boy grabbed the quilt, covered himself and whispered.

“Dad, you’ve made me in trouble three times. Can I trust you again?”

Jacob raised his eyebrows,

“Do you have any other choice?”

The boy gave him a plaintive look, and covered his head with the quilt to show his unhappiness.

Jacob rumpled up his hair, then got out of the room.

Standing by the door, Nova saw him out and asked.

“Mr. Chapman, could you help me with that!”

Jacob approached her, with his shadow falling on her. Nova instinctively stepped back a little, then she heard his low voice.

“You are afraid of me, right?”

Nova’s breath was slightly stagnant, and she said in a plain voice.

“No, I’m just not used to being so close to someone.”

Jacob peered at her eyes. She looked so calm and indifferent. She didn’t recognize him at all. Damn it! He got rage, with his hand clenching into a fist. He suddenly departed from her.

“He doesn’t come here today.” Said Jacob in a muffled voice.

Nova pulled herself up there and then followed him.

“Can you give me his private contact information?”

“I don’t know him that well.”

Jacob’s tone was a little impatient. Nova paused for a moment. She could tell that Jacob was not going to introduce her. Was he making fun of her? She got a little angry and stopped.

“I’m sorry for disturbing you.” Whispered Nova.

She turned to leave here, but suddenly she was pulled back. She fell against Jacob’s chest and he naturally put his arm around her waist. She caught a whiff of tobacco, then she came to herself. In his arms, Nova frowned and was pushing him away.

While Jacob didn’t even move a muscle, he said in a plain voice.

“If you want me to help you, do me a favor first.”

Nova frowned,

“What favor?”

Looking at the crowd not far away, Jacob opened his thin lips and said slowly.

“Just play along!”

Before Nova was about to open her mouth and said something, someone came and said to Jacob.

“Middle brother, you are here! Grandfather and uncle want to see you!”

Nova leaned slightly and saw a handsome boy standing over there. She seemed to have met him and he should be a member of the Chapman family. The Chapman family had many descendants who dedicated themselves in different scopes, including military affairs, politics and business. She only knew about several who were in business. So she didn’t know about this man. But this man called Jacob middle brother, so Jacob was the guy who will have a blind date with Ella. But the Graham family didn’t know that he had a child.

“Simon, you go and tell grandfather that I have a lady around me, and I will be there later.”

Simon then turned his eyes to Nova and she nodded to him. He then gave Jacob a glance with a subtle smile, as if he had understood something.

“Middle brother, I guess grandfather would like you to have a date with the lady rather than go back there, if he knows you have a lady around you.”

Jacob glanced at Nova with the corner of his mouth raising, and said.

“Shut up!”

Simon laughed and winked at Nova, then he left, singing.

Nova seemed to catch something. She looked up at Jacob’s side face and asked.

“You’re going to use me to escape from the blind date?”

She was not so sure for that because there were a lot of women like Ella, who was waiting to be selected to marry Jacob. She was not clear whether he had chosen one suitable.

The smile on Jacob’s face had faded away, instead of a plain face. He said slowly, with deep eyes.

“You wouldn’t like to?”

Nova frowned, saying nothing. It seemed that she guessed it correctly. In fact, she was unwilling to get involved in his things. The first reason was that the news about the cancellation of her wedding two months ago just disappeared. The second was that his eyes on her made her uneasy. However, she had no other ways to Tian Haiwan, so she hesitated for a while.

“But you said you don’t know him well.”

Stiff for a second, Jacob felt that he had shoot himself in the foot. But he just showed a glance at Nova and said, squinting.

“I’m not familiar with him, but my younger brother is an acquaintance to an official who worked in the Land Bureau.”

What he said cut to the heart of the matter. An official in the Land Bureau can do directly deal with her matter. If she can get the deed of Tian Haiwan with the help of the official, she didn’t have to ask Mr. Bourne for help. She weighed it and nodded.

“Well, I hope Mr. Chapman can help me with this in three days.”

“Ok.”

He drooped his eyes, then got his cuff links on, asking. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Dance, will you?”

Nova was in a haze when he suddenly changed a topic, but she also nodded subconsciously.
