My Wealthy Husband novel Chapter 56

"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."

What he said was originally very suitable for the situation but the atmosphere was destroyed by his next words.

"My daddy is awful. he is bad at chasing after girls."

Jason patted his little head and stared at him. He said, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Seeing this, Nova frowned. She protected Elliot subconsciously, and glanced at Jason who immediately began to play the image of a loving father.

"He has a grass in his hair. I was just patting it off."

Nova glanced at him contemptuously, then said, "I'm free next Wednesday."

Jason didn't react for the moment, while Elliot jumped up happily.

“Yeah! Pretty mommy!”

Nova blushed, trying to make his voice quieter, but looking at the innocent smiling face of his classmate, she couldn't say anything disappointed them.

Jason took advantage of this situation, held her waist and pulled her in his arms. The three of them looked like a sweet family.

The next morning, Nova received a breakfast from Jason at the office on time which she didn't know if it was really to prevent her from being harassed. In short, this action really warmed her heart. She took a sip of soy milk and took the newspaper today, and then she was attracted by the photo of a beautiful woman.

Nova had never paid much attention to her appearance, which did not mean that she was not clear about her own conditions. In college, several girls in the same dormitory used to exchange photos for equipment in games. Nova had no choice but was pulled over and directly won a set of senior equipment with her photos. Nova was gorgeous, but the woman in the photo had a face that was definitely not inferior to hers. This woman was even more beautiful, with her long chestnut hair lying straight on her waist. She had a gentle and classic atmosphere with a light blue cheongsam. Her eyes were soft and her face was a bit of a classic temperament. She looked soft like the spring water, but was clearer. She could attract everyone's attention by just one glance.

Nova kept looking and saw the title of the chapter, Art Exhibition of Beautiful Painter Returning Home for the First Time.

She had a nice name, Isabelle Evans. And she looked so familiar. Nova was about to continue the reading, but the door was knocked.

"Miss Graham, Mr. Graham ask you to his office."

“Okay.”

Throwing the newspaper aside, Nova picked up the tissue and wiped her fingers, and said lightly, “Clean here up.”

“Yes.”

After she left, Katie cleaned up the table. She rolled up the newspaper and food bags and threw them into the trash can. The picture of the woman in the newspaper still smiled gently.

In the president's office.

"Nova, have you read today's newspaper? It says, there is an art exhibition this weekend. I hope you can participate in it on behalf of our company."

Nova frowned, “Mr. Graham, this doesn't seem to have much to do with our company, right?”

Toby shook his head and said, “You know the Evans family, right? The little famous painter who just returned to China is the eldest daughter of this family. They spent a lot of money for developing her. If we, the Graham family, give a lot of support to them, and it won't be too difficult to deal with them in the future.”

Toby had been in this position for so many years, always considering things very well, but maybe he had experienced too much and was always a little scared about many things. Nova actually didn't admire this kind of way. The Evans family and the Graham family had never had a close friendship. She felt it would be a little bit weird to please them at this time. She certainly wouldn't say that. She just nodded and said, “I see.”

"Ewan will also go on behalf of the Robinson family then, you two can..."

“I will go by myself.”

Nova interrupted him and said slowly, "I don't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so I hope father arrange our work separately in the future."

Toby was surprised, and nodded slightly for a while.
