"I called you yesterday, but I don't know why it was disconnected suddenly. Was there anyone around you at that time?"
Jason pursed his lips, didn't answer the question, just said lightly, "Since you are back, why don't you go home? Where are you now? I will let Eric pick you up."
"Not now. I'll go back to the Evans villa first. And there will be an art exhibition tomorrow. When it is over, I will come to you."
"I may not have spare time tomorrow." He said so calmly that he couldn't hear his emotions.
Isabelle stopped for a while, smiled lightly, and started making fun of him, "It's okay, I know you are busy. I can't even get in your office building."
After a silence, he said, "I'm in a meeting now."
“I see.” Isabelle smiled slightly and said in a low voice, “Bye then.”
When he hung up the phone, the expression on his face was uncertain. And before him figured it out, there came another call.
He grabbed the phone irritably and shouted, "Don't call me for no reason!"
After a short silence, Nova's voice came from the phone, "Picking up Elliot with you, could this be a good reason?"
Jason was surprised, took back his anger and said with a smile, “Nova, sorry, something happened at work just now, I'm not yelling at you.”
Nova didn't reply him, but just asked, "Where am I waiting for you?"
"You stay in the company. I will pick you up."
What responded to him was the sound of hanging up the phone. Jason felt that she really had not a good temper since she hung up the phone before the conversation finished.
Watching Jason hurried out of the office building, got in the car in a hurry, and then drove away quickly, a woman in a car not far away gently took off her glasses with her pair of beautiful eyes looking into the distance, then quietly put the sunglasses on, and whispered softly, “To the Evans villa.”
After being sent to the army by his father for a month, Elliot had been bronzed.
Nova was startled when she saw him at first sight. She recalled the child with a tender skin she saw more than two months ago and barely recognized the boy in front of her.
“Pretty Nova!”
With this sweet call, Nova could easily guess the comer. Before she saw anyone, her thigh was hugged by a pair of short arms.
"Are you here to pick me up?"
Nova looked down at the boy holding her legs and smiled slightly. Before she said anything, Jason suddenly raised Elliot and frowned.
"Behave yourself! Don't hug others casually!"
Nova gave him a fierce look with her face flushed.
Elliot blinked his eyes, handed the small cartoon schoolbag he was carrying to Jason, and whispered, “Dad, don't you want her to be my mommy?”
Jason narrowed his eyes and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Elliot winked Jason.
"Nova, we will have a parent-teacher meeting next Wednesday and ask mom and dad to attend together. Can you pretend to be my mom?" Elliot said pitifully.
"I am the only one in the class without mommy."
