Chapter 11 The entire Graham family is yours
She turned her head out of the car. Love is the most unreliable thing in the world. No matter how deep the affection, it will slowly be polished off by life necessities.
She wasn't aware that on the other side, the man looked deeply at her back with his eyes flashing in dark light that was deep and mesmerizing.
When the car passed T University, the man suddenly stepped on the brake. Nova opened her eyes and when she saw the scenery outside, her eyes deepen, and she gave the man a puzzled look.
He took the jacket, pulled a wallet from it, and said lightly, “Wait for me, I'll go and buy a box of cigarettes.”.
Nova nodded and quietly looked at his back. She thought that a man with such status as him would not buy cigarettes in such a place. He was not as taboo and strange as she thought.
T University
Nova looked at the familiar, yet unfamiliar buildings, and her heart stung slightly.
Ten minutes later, the man came back, carrying a cup of milk tea in his hand. He casually threw his wallet into the rear seat then stuffed the milk tea into her hand, and said lightly,
“They gave it free with the cigarettes, I don't drink this kind of drink.”.
The car was suddenly full of a slight tobacco smell. Nova was stunned as she touched the warm milk tea in her hands and whispered, “Thanks.”.
The man curled his lips and stepped on the accelerator.
Nova held the cup and with her slender fingers, she gently rubbed the edge of the cup. Her eyes inadvertently saw the line of small text, a large cup of taro milk tea is 8 yuan.
Nova lowered her eyes as if she hadn't seen it, opened her lips slightly, and covered the straw. Unconsciously, there was a smile in her eyes. She suddenly felt that this man who had only known from the other night was very interesting.
Half an hour later, she arrived at the Graham villa. The car stopped at the door.
She looked at the familiar building in front of her and turned back and said, “Thanks, I've reached.”.
The man did not speak. Instead, he got out of the car and opened the door and took out a beautifully packaged box from the back, and handed it to her with an indifferent tone, “Since it's so late, I will not go in. Here is a gift for uncle and aunt.”.
Nova was stunned for a moment. Once the man let go of the gift, she subconsciously caught it. Although it is not clear what it is, intuition told her it should be worth a lot.
The man got onto the car before she could react. Nova hurriedly after him and yelled, “Mr. Chapman”. Just when he turned, he saw that she was falling forward, and she landed just nice in his arms. Her lips landed on his chin, and the man's eyes changed slightly and suddenly softened.
Nova felt the rough touch on his lips, and her face heated up, she pushed him away and coughed.
The man reached out and touched his chin and whispered, “Kiss goodbye?”.
“Mr. Chapman, I...” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“Next time, you can go up a little.”
The man did not wait for her to finish, he said another sentence. Then he opened the door to got onto the car, made a gesture to her before he turned around and left.
Nova uncomfortably touched her lips a little. Just as she turned around, she saw a family of three standing at the door. No, now it is a family of four.
“Nova, shouldn't you explain it?”
Ella's sharp voice pierced the eardrum.
Nova frowned and said coldly, “The fact is what you see, what do you want me to explain?”.
“All I see is that you're kissing!”
Ella's face had a ghastly expression.
“When did you know him!”
Nova sneered, “In what capacity are you asking me?”.
“Have you told him everything about me? Is it you don't want to see me happy!”?
Ella's voice was a little sharp but Nova sneered out loud, “Do you still use me to tell him your glorious deeds?”
Ella turned white and gently sobbed, “Nova, the entire Graham family is yours, I just want to be with Ewan. Is this not possible?”
Lucie had a ghastly expression, while she was coaxing Ella, she was also blaming and looking pitifully at Toby.
Nova did not change her facial expressing, she passed them to go in and Toby suddenly said,
“Nova, did you tell him?"
“No”, Nova clenched her fist. Her heart had gradually pan cold and she looked at Toby sarcastically and said,
“Back then, were you so suspicious of her?”
Toby was shocked, his face turned a little white, and he softly said, “Ella...”.
"Don't call me! ".
Despite Ella's eyes becoming red and teary, her expression remained cold and scary. She swept through the family of three and enunciated after each word.
“I respect you as my father but don't let me lose the last bit of affection for you. Back then, what my mother wouldn't do, I would also not do, regardless of whether you believe it or not.”
She said that as she stuffed the gift into Toby's hands and she decisively turned to leave.
Toby looked at her back view and held the gift with his trembling fingers. His eyes contained a pang of guilt and humiliation that were obscure and inexplicable.
Lucie who was next to him had a stiff yet also gentle expression she usually carried as she gently said, “Toby, Nova probably still minds Ella and Ewan. We should probably introduce some friends to her. By the time she gets into the next relationship, she would slowly forget all these sad things.”.
Toby pursed his lips and sighed for a while.
“It's not that easy.”.
Lucie groaned, “No matter how strong a woman is, she would still need a man to help. It's all because you indulge her for so many years that develop her today's character.”
Toby was silent for a moment and said, “I'll look at it again.”.
When the car left the Graham villa, the corners of the man's lips twitched helplessly. He felt uncontrollably happy just by thinking of the kiss with Nova earlier.
However, he took a deep breath and suppressed the restless emotions in his body. Just then, the phone rang.
“Jacob, where are you? Hurry back, the old man is looking for you all over the world. Elliot drank alcohol and you didn't care. The little guy ran to the old man's room to pee and was caught. That boy even peed into the old man's favorite white marble vase; the old man almost fainted out of breath.”.
The man thought about the situation at home, and his lips curled up.
“I'm on my way, and I'll go back and teach him a lesson.”.
Simon sighed and said, “Well, you better take care of yourself, Elliot, the little traitor, insisted that you taught it. The old man said angrily that you are not setting a good example for your child. Jacob, did you do this when you were a child?”
The corners of the man’s mouth twitched. Only Brody had used to urinate in the thermos pot that the old lady gave to the old man when he was a child would make fun of him. Damn, he did not learn from the good, yet he remembered this sort of thing. He squinted, sneered, and said, “What, do you also want to learn?”.
Simon choked and smiled as he said, “No, no”.
“All right, I'm hanging up, I'll reach in ten minutes.”
