My Wealthy Husband novel Chapter 19

The little guy immediately stood up straight,

“I think a month is enough. Uncle Simon is coming soon. I go and pack.”

Then he ran fast to the door as if there was a monster after him. At the door, he suddenly turned around.

“Pretty sister, my name is Elliot.”

Nova couldn’t help laughing. She had never met a clever and mischievous child like him, and he was likable so much.

“You’re the first woman the little guy likes so much.”

Jacob said in a deep voice.

Nova’s smile stopped, then she said sincerely.

“We kind of hit it off, and I like him very much, too.”

Jacob snorted. He got up and took out his clothes from the wardrobe.

“That’s because you don’t see the actual face of the little devil.”

Then he took off the towel and changed his clothes in front of her. Nova turned her head to avoid seeing him awkwardly. After Jacob got changed, he said.

“Take a break here. I have asked your company on your behalf for two hours’ leave.”

After a pause, she said.

“Thank you.”

Lying on the bed with peace of mind, Nova sniffed the sunshine smell on the quilt, gently closed her eyes and fell asleep.

When Jacob came in again, what he saw was her sleeping face. His heart softened slightly. He put the cup filled with hot water on the bedside table, and bent down to gently stroke her cheek. Nova was sleeping very well. Feeling itchy on the face, she just crinkled her nose, and murmured in a low voice.

“Alfred, stop it!”

Jacob was a little tense, then said with a suppressive voice.

“Why can’t you recognize me every time?”

In the quiet bedroom, no one answered him. Jacob held his forehead and sat by the bed, laughing at himself.

“Has the Hall family defunded?”

Nova looked at the documents, a little surprised. Because of the cooperation and friendship between the two families, she didn’t make a big deal out of that thing, but the Hall family was more anxious than her.

“Is there a big funding gap?”

“Mr. Robinson has made up for the gap in time. In fact, the Hall Group hasn’t developed in a good way in the past six months. Cooperating with us is to retain the talents in the company.”

Nova nodded, thinking of the news a few days ago. The corrupt administration will drive the Hall Group bankrupt, if they took no measures and the managers weren’t reappointed. Back then, the Hall Group would collapse itself without any external driving force. They defunded now, in fact, it’s a good news for Nova lest the Graham Group would be implicated.

“I see. Anything else?”

Secretary Lee faltered.

“Besides, President Graham asked you to try on your dress after work.”

Nova frowned.

“What dress?”

“Mr. Robinson will hold up the wedding next week, and you should be present.”

Secretary Lee cleverly didn’t mention Ella Graham, because she was a taboo of Nova.

“You tell President Graham that I will choose my own dress, and they don’t have to wait for me.”

Nova even didn’t raise her head. She just said in a plain voice and began to work again.

Secretary Lee naturally did not dare to ask again, so he transferred Nova’s words exactly to Toby Graham.

As soon as Secretary Lee went out, Toby slapped the documents down on the table, with a black face. Ewan was also in the office at the moment. After seeing Toby’s reaction, he kept silent for a while.

“I’ll have the dress taken to her later. Don’t worry, uncle.”

Toby nodded and said.

“Ella is pregnant in the first trimester, but she has kept crying to work in the company. What do you think of it?”

Ewan slightly frowned and said.

“It’s not a good time, uncle. You promised her?”

Toby was silent for a while.

“I want her to be your secretary and I can rest assured that you can take good care of her.”

Ewan felt disagreeable. He thought that what Ella had to do was to be a little woman. He can support her and spoil her. If she went to work like Nova, he wouldn’t have selected her to be his wife. However, he cannot decline Toby. What’s more, his parents were not satisfied with Ella. It’s better to take her around him rather than leave her at home. Thinking of this, he nodded.

Seeing that he nodded, Toby said again.

“Back then, you’d better avoid meeting Nova. She has been unwilling to see Ella work here.”

Ewan paused and said.

“Ok.”

“No, I look not so attractive in these pictures. My face is bigger in the photos. Let’s take another group of photos, Ewan. This dress is not beautiful on me, and I have to change it.”

Ella kept chattering. Ewan was very tired. He gave a glimpse at the photographer with a scared face and whispered.

“These groups are good enough. Now you are pregnant, and you must be a little plump. But you are still attractive in the photos. I’m tired now and we can go. If you really dislike these photos, we can come here again and take more after the baby is born.”

Ella was not very happy, so she said coquettishly.

“No! I get married just once, and I want to be perfect in every aspect. You just stay with me here for a while, but you said you are tired. Do you really love me?”

Ewan used to like her being soft and coquettish. But now he was a little bit fed up with her like that. He tried to be patient.

“Ella, we’ve been out all the afternoon. Mother would be unhappy if she knows that we haven’t taken our wedding photos so far.”

Referring to her mother-in-law, Ella got a dark face. She was obviously unhappy, but she still nodded reluctantly.

Ewan patted her on the back.

“No matter what you look like, you are the most beautiful in my eyes.”

Ella forced a smile and went into the dress room.

Ewan was relieved and turned to his assistant.

“Go to wrap up Nova’s dress and put it in the car.”

When Ewan took Ella to the Graham’s house, they happened to meet Nova. She stood at the door and was talking to a man, who was holding something.

“Miss Graham, these dresses are all chosen by our boss himself. He knows you have on time to take them, so I’m here with them. You can choose one you like and put it on to attend the wedding.”

Eric smiled and said modestly.

But Nova shook her head and declined.

“I could get my dress ready myself. Please transfer my gratitude to him.”

“My boss said. If you go to select the dress yourself, he will go with you. So he can select a suit to match your dress.”

The corners of Nova’s mouth twitched. That’s what he can do. Helplessly, Nova received the dressed.

“When I make a decision, I’ll give him a call.”

Eric nodded.

“Ok, Miss Graham. I need to go, and see you next time.”

Seeing Eric driving away, Graham Ella cannot help but satirize.

“You are really popular with men. But who come to show his gallantry this time?”

Ella did not know Eric, but Ewan did. He kept silent but his hand curled into a fist tightly.
