My Wealthy Husband novel Chapter 28

He bent over to give her a peck on the lips, and then held her up before she realized.

“What are you doing?”

Nova gazed at him

He smiled and flirted with her.

“I’m your brother Jacob, sweetie.”

“What’s wrong with you?”

“C’mon. Don’t kill the vibe.”

He took a sigh as he complained.

“From now on, don’t you leave me. Now the whole Y. City knows I’m a sucker for you. Are you planning on let me suck you sometime?”

Nova flushed immediately, she pinched him on the chest and said as she’s gnashing her teeth.

“Those photos wouldn’t have existed if you hadn’t…”

Jacob smiled teasingly.

“Don’t blame it me. You came on to me.”

“I didn't! It’s the drug!”

“Sooner or later, you will let me have you while being conscious.”

He grinned to his ears, ripples spread out in Nova’s heart. Surprisingly, she found her kind of enjoyed it when Jacob said those things to her.

It was not until midnight that Jacob sent her home. Toby called to ask about her when she’s with Jacob. She so completely despaired of Toby now that living her was torment to her; this place was no longer home to her. So when she told Toby that she’s moving out, she relived.

“You are moving out?” Toby’s face was twisted, “do you know what people are going to say about us if you move out at this point of time?”

“Dad,” Nova frowned her lips in mockery, “have you ever even once think in my position?”

Toby was at a loss for words.

“This building was nothing me when mom died. Do you know how I feel watching you living together with another woman? It’s like finding a fly on your favorite food. It’s disgusting.”

“Watch your tongue!”

“I don’t believe that you don’t know who wants me to fall off. The moment you decided to ignore them, you lost the last hope I have for you.”

Her eyes became red but she tried to hold back the tears. It’s not worthy, she thought.

Toby averted his eyes, his face pale. Finally, he said.

“I owe you an explanation for this. If you want some time alone, fine, go. When you calm down, you can always return here.”

It happened that Lucie was standing outside the room when Nova opened to door to leave.

“I cook tea for the two of you. Come and have some.”

Nova greeted her with nothing but a hint of mockery in the eyes. She just left directly.

“Leave me alone” Toby said to Lucie as he rubbed his head with his eyes closed.

Lucie didn’t leave. Instead, she put down the tea in his hands and walked to Toby. Then she started to give him a massage.

She said after a while, “don’t worry, I’ talk to Ella later. She’ll help Nova with her work. Everything will be fine, it just takes some time.”

“What do you think of our company as? It’s not like you can just find some random guy on the street and he’ll lead our company to prosperity.” Toby opened his eyes, “leave, don’t make me ask you again.”

Lucie coiled her fists, feeling a little depressed.
