My Wealthy Husband novel Chapter 32

"How long have you been in love?"

Being stricken, Nova pulled away Jason's hands and stammered, "It’s a mistake. We have no intimate relationship.."

Asher kept frowning, shook his head and said,

"You might tell the truth but I know my grandson. He must already have sex with you."

His comment was so straight forward that it embarrassed both Jason and Nova.

Proudly, Asher gave a shrug and said officially, "Well, I know that we're in a new era. And don’t get me wrong, I am not an old fogy, but just quite uncomfortable to let the newspaper tell me that my grandson was having a love affair."

Recalling the news, Nova realized that she could not clear her name in a short time. And Jason, was showing no inclination to explain anything, but instead, actually expecting a terrible mess so that Nova was forced to accompany him.

Eric served Asher the tea, reminding him about the proposal in a low voice.

Asher then told them, "I've had someone go to Graham’s family to propose marriage for you. You two should also follow me there."

Then he murmured, “I also have planned to go there with you. Well, it turns out you already have your wife by your side.”

Jason and Nova were speechless again.

***

In Graham’s family, watching trains of valuables were sent to his house, Toby was pretty confused. This scene was as spectacular as that an ancient emperor granted him quantities of rewards, each of which was priceless.

Lucie had been around with him and savvy to a lot of things these years, and thus she realized that these objects were all worthy of a fortune. At the beginning, she considered them given by Ewan because after Ewan and Ella got married, the couple usually brought the family gifts. But this time, it's different -- though Ewan was willing to do that, his parents would not agree on it. Who sent these?

While she was pondering, a Hummer in military style parked at the gate. As soon as catching sight of the car, she felt a sense of unlucky premonition.

The car gradually came to a halt but Nova didn't move but kicked slightly at Jason's leg, suggesting what to do next. Jason, however, intentionally misinterpreted her meaning and touched her hands softly to reassure her, "Don't worry. It's also my first time to propose in the flesh."

Now Nova was not in mood to talk with him.

Asher made a noise and said, "I can provide the evident."

Nova kept silent.

Toby and Lucie remained standing there for a few minutes, watching the car stop and open.

Jason was the first one out of the car, who attended the completion ceremony two days ago. He was smiling in a leisure way like a gentleman and then walked to the other side of the car to open the door for a lady. When Toby figured out whom the lady was, his brows were knitted. In his view, since Nova had been away from the house, it's impossible for her to move back as long as he refused to apologize. But now, what happened?

After they got out of the car, the man sitting up front appeared in front of Toby and Lucie slowly. At the moment they realized who he was, they were frozen. Back in those days he sent Ella's photos to Chapman’s family for marriage in order to mitigate the corporate crisis, he once met the dignified image of the old man. And he now felt rather guilty for Chapman’s family's repentance of marriage.
