My Wealthy Husband novel Chapter 33

At the thought, Lucie stated suddenly, "Mr. Chapman, are you sure? It is the youngest daughter Ella not Nova engaged with your grandson."

Toby’s countenance changed when he heard this as if Lucie was mad. Nova seemed to smile in mockery but still kept silent.

Asher was surprised, and then frown, "Ella?"

Lucie became embarrassed. Actually, she knew that it was not a formal engagement, but now she had no other choice but to impede the marriage.

"Half a year ago, Mrs. Chapman once took Ella's photos away for Jason but no message came. Instead, now you are here to propose to Nova instead of Ella. It's not appropriate."

Lucie seemed unpleased and actually worried. And Toby was apparently in a sulk and failed to stop Lucie. He could not understand why Lucie mentioned it on purpose. She must know it troubled Graham’s family.

Asher was racking his brain to figure out a solution.

Suddenly, Jason smiled, saying slowly, "I can well remember that Ella has already married another guy. Do you want her to get divorced and marry me again? Apparently, your daughter Ella has already broken her promise."

Lucie's face screwed up a bit. She said, "You're right. We indeed made a mistake. But now your family has proposed twice to our daughters, which might hurt our reputation. Others may treat us as bourgeois and shabby. Do you agree with me?"

Asher had spent his life on military and he didn't ever consider what Lucie put forward, so for him, this was not an issue. "Just leave people outside alone! At least we are not guilty, aren't we? In addition, it's traditional for a woman to rely on her man," he looked back at Jason, "Don't you think so?"

With her face pale, Lucie failed her conspiracy.

Jason smiled gently, holding Nova's hands firmly, and said slowly but clearly, "Mr. Graham, you can trust me. As long as I am alive, I will definitely protect and love her with my life."

He swore with such a deep feeling that Nova could not help examining him who was looking at her too with tenderness and innocence. Nova stopped struggling.

"My lord, Mr. Robinson is coming."

The housekeeper hurried in and interrupted the conversation.

Toby was obviously unhappy and Lucie seemed to regain hope, whispering, "Show him the way."

What about Nova? She was stunned at once. She wondered whether it was Brandon or not.

More sensitive than her, Jason caught her hands more forcefully in a bad mood. What a bad day. Frequently, there arrived a sequence of footsteps at the door and then a handsome man in a white suit appeared.

The man almost freaked Nova out with fingers turning stiff. Noticing her reaction, Lucie smiled insidiously.
