Nova sneered and said word by word, "Aunt Lucie, what about the daughter you handed over in your own hands? Do you remember how you came into my family back then? Who is the person too uneducated actually?"
Lucie had never seen Nova speaking so terribly. She couldn't reply for a long time. Toby was angry that his chest was up and down in pain. He stroked his chest and said harshly, "Shut up!"
The living room suddenly became quiet. Ella unwillingly darted a look at Nova, and stood on the side with her head down.
Perhaps because they had things spoken out, Lucie didn't have any things to hide at this moment. She stood beside Ella with a calm face. Toby took a deep breath, and then said in a hoarse voice, "Lucie, help Ella get some rest. Nova, come with me."
Nova looked at his stumbling back and was a little choked. Although she was no longer expecting his fatherly love, his old back still made her a little sad. He was really becoming old.
In the study.
“Sit.”
Toby poured a cup of water and drank with the medicine, and the pain in his chest eased a little. He stroked his forehead with his expression a little tired.
Nova didn't sit, she stood quietly, and before Toby said anything, she said lightly, "If it's about Ella, I don't know anything. From the beginning, I don't know what she is arguing with Ewan, and I have no obligation to take care of them."
Toby raised his eyes to look at her. This daughter had grown up, and she was as good as he expected. She might have grown up a long time ago. She no longer needed the role of a father and was no longer controlled by him. She lived better and easier relying on her own abilities. It’s just he always felt so bad for Nova was always sensible. He didn't find out before that he actually cared about this daughter, like he thought he felt guilty caring less about her mother after her mother passed away. He couldn't sleep all night and all night. People always remembered the past in their twilight, and then repented and confessed.
“Nova, do you decide to marry Jacob?”
“Yes.”
Her answer was so simple and clear, and she didn't even have an explanation for it. Toby was thinking, she probably felt that the explanation was unnecessary for a father like him.
Toby clenched his fists and closed his eyes. After a while, he opened his eyes and took out a copy from the drawer, spread it to the table, and said, "This is a will I asked a lawyer to help me make."
Nova frowned and wanted to open her mouth to ask something, but found that she didn't know how to ask. She looked at Toby for a long time, and said softly, "What do you mean by showing me this now?"
Toby looked at her expression, a bitter smile appeared on his mouth, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid I will be gone suddenly, and I can't even say anything. This is also my dowry for you."
Nova trembled her lips lightly and did not speak. Instead, she picked up the will. Everything was clearly written in the frame. Nova pressed her lips tightly and read it word by word. Finally, she closed the will and looked up. She said after a long time, "I won't give a cent of the Graham family's shares to Lucie and Ella."
The will said very clearly that once Toby died of illness, Lucie and Ella would take 10% of his 38% of the shares, and all the rest would belong to Nova.
"And, my mother picked this house by herself, I will never leave outsiders living here!"
Toby's face turned pale. He held his chest, and took a breath.
