My Wealthy Husband novel Chapter 51

“If there is nothing else, you can go and do what you need to.”

“OK.”

After he left Toby’s office, Ewan’s face completely sank. He was sent a few photos of Ella of her life abroad yesterday afternoon. There were also a few intimate photos of her with foreign men. Ewan’s blood instantly boiled, and he grabbed Ella to ask about the origins of the photos.

With a face full of grievance, Ella said that he didn't believe her, and someone had framed her, she even named Nova for it. At that moment, Ella's specious words had extremely disgusted him. He couldn't help but said a few harsh words to Ella and she immediately got up and went back to Graham's residence.

He didn't go after her. Instead, he felt relieved. The ambiguous photos of Ella with those men became a thorn in his heart. If it was Nova, there wouldn't be so many vexing matters. This sudden thought of his along with the thought of her marriage made his eyes darken.

“Are you knock off from work? Come down quickly.”

Nova received Jason's call the moment she arrived at the office. Her lips pursed as she got up and looked downstairs.

He was in the same car and had the same posture as he held the cigarette, but it gave Nova an unusual feeling.

“Why did you come?"

Her voice sounded anxious. How long time has it been since they last met? It seemed that it had been half a month. Why does it feel like a long time has passed? Is this the feeling of missing him?

“Come down, I'll take you for a drive.”

“...”

“Are you going to speed? I'm not going.”

“Am I a law violator?”

Nova could almost see his displeased look, she smiled lightly, “Oh.”

The man threw the cigarette and stared.

“Come down!”

Nova suppressed her smile, placed the important documents aside on the table, and quickly walked down the stairs.

When Nova came down, her face was slightly flushed, and her hair was a little messy from her quick movements. The man naturally stretched out his hand and brushed her hair behind her ear and whispered to her ear.

“In a hurry to see me?”

Nova gave him a blank look, and the man laughed softly, he helped her to open the car door, and said, “Let's go, let me take you to a place.”

Nova didn't know what he was planned, but she was curious and was faintly looking forward to it.

International Airport.

The first flight from Paris arrived exactly at 11 o’clock. Many tourists shortly came out of the airport and headed for their respective goals. A woman in a camel windbreaker wore a pair of sunglasses that could cover half of her face, dragged her suitcase, and stood in the sun for a few seconds. She gently took off her sunglasses and looked at the slightly unfamiliar sight in front of her, and couldn't help but curled her lips, “Jason, I'm back.”

Nova did not expect him to take her to pick out a wedding dress. No, to be precise, it was a custom-made wedding dress. It would be old-fashioned to measure love with money. Yet at times, a man that is willing to spend a lot of money to make you happy also shows your importance to him. At this moment, Nova had dozens of famous designers’ works in front of her.

“Whichever style you prefer, we'll let them do it.”

These were Jason's original words. The moneybag statement caused ripples in her heart; she couldn't even say anything that she wanted to say casually.

“This one.”

Nova picked a piece that looked liberal and smiled, “Can I?”

The man placed one hand on her shoulder while he leaned over to look at the piece she was pointing to.

“Of course.”

The assistant behind him remembered the designer’s name as he spoke, and asked, “What about jewelry, do you want to use that designer's jewelry?”

Nova rubbed her forehead, closed the book, and turned to look at him, and softly, “These are all formal, it doesn't matter, don't you think we are wasting our time here?”.

The man narrowed his eyes and thought about the meaning of her question. A few seconds later, a wicked smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he lowered his head and said ambiguously to her ear, “Are you suggesting that I should do something good for my body and mind?”

Nova twitched the corner of her lips and threw the sample book at him. The man let out a low laugh, as he threw the book aside and said, “Remember the cemetery I brought you to?”

Nova nodded.

“Let's go, accompany me again. I'll introduce you to my relatives.”

Even though she already knew the identity of the woman's tombstone she saw that night, she couldn't help but feel a little worried when she heard him say it so peacefully.

She couldn’t get a good look at the place previously as she came in the night. This time, Nova discovered that the environment of this cemetery was very good. The greenery was well done, the weather was already displayed signs of winter, and the cemetery was packed with bloomed yellow plum blossoms. The light fragrance instantly made people felt refreshed and relieved their depressed mood. The cemetery should be buried with people of high status. It was very timely cleaned. It was four o'clock in the afternoon, but the roads were clean and there are hardly any dead leaves. It could be seen that the tomb guards were very attentive.

The narrow path could not accommodate two people walking side by side. The man walked in front, held Nova’s hand, and slowly led them. His steps were not rushed, he deliberately wanted her to follow. It could be seen if a person did not care for the other. Nova looked at his stalwart back, and the corners of her lips bend involuntarily.

The breeze blew gently, and it was a bit cold. Nova couldn't help but shiver. She stood aside and wrapped her clothes tightly, as she watched him bend down and lay a bunch of white camellias in front of the tombstone. Her heart could not help but be solemn. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and carefully wiped the dust off the photo. After a long time, he whispered, “Mom, I brought someone to see you today.”

He paused after he spoke, he turned around and pulled Nova over.

“You've met her, she was the girl I brought the other night.”

Nova didn't know what to say, she could tell from his tone that he felt uncomfortable, and she was not very good at saying comforting words.

“I promised you that I will bring a girl that I liked to see you sooner or later. Look, I did it.”

His tone was so light that Nova almost thought he was crying. She set her eyes on the tombstone again. The woman in front of her was beautiful, but she lowered her eyes and suddenly noticed that the date of the monument was seven years ago. Nova's heart tightened, there was something amiss. It took a long time to recall the rumors that Jason left for abroad seven years ago. Did that mean he left here after his mother died for seven years, and his child was also seven years old? it's been exactly seven years. He stayed in the army until he was twenty-three years old. Such a coincidence? Nova felt some difficulties in her breathing, she suddenly wanted to know what he had experienced in the past, but she didn't know how to ask.

He didn't say much, but after looking at the tombstone for a long time, then turned around and walked towards another tombstone. Nova was unsure, so her face changed slightly after she followed. There was no need to guess at all, tombstone of Jasper Chapman. These few characters had clearly shown the identity of the deceased, that was Jason's eldest brother, the eldest grandson of the Chapman family.

Regarding Jasper Chapman, Nova heard of him before. He was once the youngest major in Y City and the best in the third generation of the Chapman family, but he later disappeared. Some people said that he had a serious illness, others said he went abroad, and someone even said that he was involved in a car accident. There are different theories, but the Chapman family had never announced it publicly that this was the truth.
