My Wealthy Husband

Chapter 35 Goodbye, My Love

The old woman nodded plainly, and said, "Have your seat please."

Nova had no action. When Jason was away, she knew that there's going to be a tough conversation.

"Who's Ella?" the old lady directly asked.

Nova relied after a while, "My half sister."

The old lady nodded, "I have seen her photos, and I think you are much more reliable than her."

Nova bit her lips, pondering on her meaning.

"At the first sight of you, I prefer you than her. I’ve also heard of what had happened that day. Now I want to ask you a question, what's going on between you and Brandon?"

These words hit the nail on the head which made Nova a little anxious. Nova answered, “We were in love.”

The lady was not surprised, but to help tuck Asher who's apparently unhappy with that answer.

"As long as Jason finds the one he loves and leads a good life, we will not say no to his decision. But also, if we're often informed of your scandals by the media, we definitely don't agree on your marriage. Nova, you know, we are so old. We hope the woman he marries must be the one who can take a good care of Jason and his kid. Do you understand? "

Nova gritted her teeth, and tried to be indifferent as usual although she was extremely angry. She tightly clenched her fist, and said, "You have already made the choice for us regardless of my mind. It’s a meaningless question."

The lady was not annoyed but Asher became angrier, "Mind your word!"

"You are the head of the Tian Haiwan project. Great. But these two years, the governmental projects are built here and there. You know what I mean -- the land of Tian Haiwan is possible to be expropriated some time. So you need a good trade off."

Nova's face turned pale. "What do you want me to do?" asked Nova.

"Leave him. You should go away."

Nova smiled, "As long as your grandson does as you say, I won't have any connection with him initially."

The lady was a little offended, and said, "You'd better keep your promise."

Nova left quietly, and put Jason's phone number into the blacklist. At that moment, her love faded away.

Two days later, Nova was back to her work. The completion ceremony was no longer mentioned, as if it had never occurred. On her second workday, she had a conversation with Brandon about the contract.

They met at the coffee shop across Graham’s family's company. When Nova faced him, she signed the contract directly. When she's leaving, Brandon held her hands and murmured, "Nova, I've heard that you met Asher and his wife a few days before."

"Yes. Don't ask me again!" Nova flung his hands away. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Brandon smiled, "They are so proud that it's sooner or later for them to meet you, especially once you had a relationship with me. "

Nova frowned, "You are not from Chapman’s family?"

"No. I am the son of Robinson’s."

She had no interest in talking with him more because she didn't understand him.

"Nova, why do you become so fed up with me?" He asked in a low voice.

She answered after a while, "You are wrong. In fact, I don't care about you anymore."

And she left with her bag immediately. Brandon closed his eyes and crumpled his temple, thinking that Nova must lied to him.

Back home tiredly, she had a fast shower and lay on her bed. It's too late and she gradually felt cold. Recalling the night they spent together sleeping, she missed the hug and the warmth. She closed her eyes and said silently, "Jason, you are a liar."

Jason now came back from the airport in a hurry. He first went to Nova's apartment. And Nova had her sleep interrupted by a loud knock on the door at midnight. She was scared because she lived alone and nobody could do her a favor.

She was not going to open the door, but the knocking was just too loud. She could do nothing but open the door with her coat on.

It's dark outside and she failed to figure out who the uninvited visitor was only by a vague image. It was a tall man. She looked around and grabbed a broom in her hands, then opening the door slightly.

Once the door was unlocked, the man outside pushed it, which frightened Nova. She stepped back quickly and tended to close the door. But she was too weak. In a second, the door was completely opened, and then Jason gave her a tight hug, with the tobacco smell she's familiar with. Then she heard Jason's magnetic voice because of weariness, "Have you missed me ever, my honey? I miss you so much."

Nova gradually softened towards him but still refused to hug him back. Jason breathed in the fragrance of her body. After a while, he said, "You lose weight, aren’t you?"

Nova just pushed him slightly and said, "What are you doing?"

Jason thought that he was blamed for no connection with her, so he explained, "I flied to deal with the company issues in the northern America, and my phone was broken down there, so I couldn't give you a call these days. I..."

"That's not the answer I want to hear", Nova interrupted him emotionlessly.

"Why did you come here? Get back to your house."

With eyebrows knitted, Jason was upset. Holding her hands, Jason said confusedly, "What are you talking about, my sweetie?"

Nova flung his hands away, saying mildly, "We had better never see each other again. Goodbye."

While Jason was distracted, she shut the door.

Jason was in silence for a few seconds, and then recalled to himself, thinking that what he received after a week's leave was just a goodbye. Her indifference annoyed and tortured him. Regardless of the suitcase, he pounded on the door again.

"Nova, I need an explanation! You cannot leave me like that."

Standing at the door, hearing what he said, Nova was touched but at last, she walked to her bed. After a long while, the knocks stopped. She knew that he was gone, which disappointed her. In fact, it's hard for her to bid farewell to Jason.

Lying awake the whole night, she got of her bed early lest Jason should stop her. But when she opened the door, Jason was falling down to the floor, whose unwashed face made her heart ache. How could he stay here all night?

She could not bear to leave him alone, and tried to wake him up, "Jason!"
