My Wealthy Husband novel Chapter 47

Novia interrupted him and finally spoke.

“He doesn’t know that.”

Novia said in a soft tone. Then she looked at Grandma bravely and took a deep breath.

“It is my father who wants to cooperate with Brandon. And I’m the head of this program, so I will have to deal with him. But no matter what we’ve had in the past, it’s over. Grandma, you are an elder, so I’ll have respect for you. But you should respect me as well. Now that I’ve promised Jason to be together with him, I’ll never cheat on him. If the sincerity that you’ve mentioned is to break the contract, then I cannot promise you that, because I don’t think the cooperation will threaten our relationship.”

She had the bottom line, so she would not make the concession for no reason.

Grandma was not incensed by what Novia said. She smiled and said, “You are different with what I’ve thought.”

Novia went blank for a while. She did not understand what did Grandma mean. But then she soon knew it.

“Take your time to recover from the injury these months. But I hope you will get married as soon as possible, because others may not know your relationship.”

Grandma changed her mind suddenly, which dumbfounded Novia and Jason. A few seconds later, Jason held Novia into his arms and kissed her, whispering, “Have you heard that? Grandma approves of that, and you are about to marry me.”

In front of the elders, Novia was a bit abashed, so she nudged him to ask him to release his hold with a flush spreading over her face. And she knew what did Grandma mean. Grandma implied that she should remember who she was and deal with Brandon as Mrs. Chapman so that others would not talk gossip again. But then she was more curious about the relationship between Brandon and the Chapman family.

Staring at the big smile on Jason’s face, Novia suddenly thought that it seemed a good choice to get married. Several months ago, she was wondering whether she would die alone. However, she never thought another man would made a commitment to her a few months later. If she refused his proposal, would she regret it? She guessed she would, and she did not want to regret.

That night, Novia slept over at the villa. The incident of the Thompson followed by the car accident hadn’t been solved yet. There were journalists everywhere, so it was unwise to leave the villa now. But apparently, she could only sleep in the same room with Jason. Grandma and Asher were traditional. But Jason was upset. Novia could finally stayed overnight in his home, but he was unable to sleep together with him.

Jason could not fall asleep this night, so he climbed into Novia’s room. He used to climb up and down in his childhood, now he was still adept at it.

It was the first time that Novia had lived in the villa. She was unaccustomed to sleeping in the unfamiliar bed, so she could not fall asleep as well, lying tossing and turning. And she was worrying about the incident. She was afraid that they would find Jason was involved and that he was in trouble.

But Novia was startled by the sound of something falling down to the ground. She stretched her arms to turn on the lamp next to the bed immediately. However, before she switched on the lamp, she was encircled in someone’s arm. Then she knew it was Jason, so she stayed motionless for a second and loosened her grip.

She said in a low tone, “Why don’t you sleep in your bed but come here?”

“I’m afraid sleeping by myself.”

He said unhurriedly and naturally, as he lowered his head and nuzzled her ears.

She moved her neck and whispered, “Stop that. This is your house.”

Jason laughed in a low tone.

“Because it’s my house, I really want…”

He did not finish his sentence, but Novia had got it. She gave a shudder slightly and said in her unsteady voice, “But we are injured.”

“Well, I will do it gently.”

Novia knew that she could not evade, so she relaxed her body. Now that she had been with him, she knew they would have the physical relationship sooner or later. Moreover, she was willing to give it to him, because she believed she also wanted him.

The next morning, they still cuddled each other, with the sunlight shining on them. The whole picture was lovely and sweet.

But there was a knock at the door. Novia opened her eyes in a daze. Then she realized where she was. She looked at the naked man next to him and rubbed her forehead. She now regretted what she had done last night. Afterall, it was not her house, and it was a room for the guest.

Someone knocked on the door again.
