My Wealthy Husband novel Chapter 10

Nova pursed her lips, with her fingers closing into a fist. For the first time, she hated Ella who was just over 20 years old but was good at hiding her malevolence with an innocent look. When she licked the wound alone, Ella just rip the Band-Aid off and let Nova see how stupid she used to be.

“Nova!”

There was a gentle call behind. Nova got in a trance. This voice sounded like that of the man, who was Nova’s boyfriend six years ago. She turned around slightly and saw Jacob coming towards her. He approached her and held her hands with a warm smile.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.” Jacob whispered.

All of a sudden, Nova nearly burst into tears. However, she looked down slightly and covered up her emotion.

“That’s ok.” She spoke in whispers.

Ella’s face changed slightly, and then she showed a sweet smile.

“Sir, you know my sister? Sister, would you like to introduce him?”

Nova indifferently looked at Ella’s artificial face, then said in a plain voice.

“This is Jacob Chapman, the middle son of the Chapman family.”

Ella’s face suddenly changed. She lowered her head without any trace and avoided Jacob’s sight.

“Sister, you…you take your time. We have to go now.”

Ewan frowned slightly and left with Ella. Ella was afraid that Nova will tell Jacob her refusal to the Chapman family. She gently pulled Ewan and whispered.

“Ewan, will sister tell him something?”

Ewan looked at the young face and said in a deep voice.

“Your dad said nothing about Nova’s date. Why said that just now?”

Ella froze in an instant. She clenched her fist and her eyes turned red,

“Why? A drug addict and a letch, both of them were the friends introduced by my good sister to me. What I did is just a tit for tat, but you seem to worry about her.”

Ewan frowned and sighed.

“Nonsense! It has nothing to do with us. Don’t provoke her hereafter. You are no match for her.”

Ella was leaning against his chest, with gloomy eyes. She will snatch everything from Nova, including Ewan and Jacob.

“You are angry. Do you still care about him?” Jacob asked in a plain voice.

Jacob was holding her waist, slightly drooping eyes at her forehead.

Nova was a little surprised, and then she said with a faint smile.

“He’s not worth it.”

A glimmer of light flashed in Jacob’s eyes. He sipped his lips and said nothing more.

“By the way, Mr. Chapman, my trouble about Tian Haiwan had been sorted out.”

She was implying that the promise she had made didn’t count.

Jacob looked up at her but did not say a word.

Before Nova want to say something, the phone suddenly rang. She said sorry and turned to answer the phone call.

After a while, Nova came back to him with a dark face. Jacob was still standing there and shaking his glass gracefully. He seemed to be at ease but no one can ignore him for the sake of his imposing manner.

Nova’s steps towards him paused. She then took his wine glass and bottomed it up. She pressed close to his ears and whispered.

“Mr. Chapman, I hope we will cooperate pleasantly.”

With lips raising, Jacob pulled her into his arms and spoke in a low voice.

“Happy cooperation.”

There were people around taking photos sneakily with mobile phones, which made Nova uneasy. Her eyes moved over two figures not far and recognized that one of them was Denis, but the woman beside him was not Emilie.
