Chapter 61 The Conflict
"Uncle Marco, I won't be back at noon, you don't have to prepare lunch for me."
“Okay.” Marco nodded, "The driver hasn't come yet. Lady Nova, would you like to wait a little longer?"
“No need.” Nova said, “I will take a taxi.”
Marco nodded again and said, “Be careful.”
“I will.”
When she walked to the door, Nova couldn't help but glance back the mansion where she lived for 18 years in the most expensive area in Y City. At this moment in her heart, it was just a cold house with luxuriously decorate and the decay inside. It was not the road that carry people away, and it was not the house that make people stay.
Turning around again, Nova left without any nostalgia.
Under the withered maple tree at the door, a bicycle covered with snow attracted her attention. Nova was surprised that there was somebody riding a bicycle in such a cold day here. She couldn't help but look around, and then saw there was a person squatting under the maple tree not far away. His hair was covered with a thin layer of snow. He was curled up so that she could barely see his face. The sound of her stepping on the snow shocked him. He was slightly trembling. When he saw Nova, he shook off the snow and said in a hoarse voice, "Nova, you are up!"
Because of being in the snow for too long, he was a little uncomfortable in speaking. Nova only felt that her heart trembled violently. She clenched her fists and stood there without talking. He stood up, breathed, rubbed his palms, whispered softly, "Let me take you."
Nova felt her throat was a bit dry. She stood stiffly and watched that he wiped off the snow from the bicycle, and carefully took out a paper towel to dry the water stains on the back seat, patted on it, and
smiled.
"I know that there is no one at your home. I came to pick you up specially. Are you feeling touched?"
Nova looked at his frozen face with a bright smile, feeling her throat choked. She asked softly, "How long did you get here?"
“Just for a while.”
He was afraid that she would be worried, and answered very lightly, but Nova knew that he got here not just for a while. At least the snow didn't stop until six o'clock in the morning, and he must have arrived before then. When there was no one around to care for her, someone was willing to wait for her for more than two hours in the snow without any regrets. Nova only felt that her cold heart instantly warmed up. When she looked up at the boy’s bright eyes, she couldn't help but reach out her hand to remove the snowflakes from his hair, and whispered, “Don’t be so silly anymore.”
Brandon suddenly caught her hand, put it to his lips and kissed it lightly, smiled slightly, and said hoarsely, "Nova, I will do anything for you."
These memories were originally thought to be very touching, but at this time Nova recalled it as if it happened in a previous life. The person in front of her was not the boy who would do anything for her and she was not the girl who would be moved by him easily. They were now just strangers in this city.
"Haven't you already known?" Nova said lightly.
She just narrated a fact clearly, did not deliberately ridicule, because she never used this marriage as a tool for revenge.
Brandon smiled bitterly, stretched out his hand to cover his forehead, and said softly after a long time, "Nova, I suddenly wondered if you really loved me."
She had been waiting for him stubbornly for the past six years. Now he couldn't understand how she decided to marry someone else in less than half a year willingly. Until now, he couldn't believe that Nova, who had always been indifferent for everything, would allow Jason Kissing her on this public occasion. What's more, what he saw in her eyes at that moment was not blame, but shyness. He felt heartbroken and couldn't help but want to take this woman back in his arms. This was his woman! He wouldn't allow Jason to do such a thing!
When hearing this question, she stopped slightly, and a hint of sarcasm suddenly appeared at her mouth. She said softly, "I didn't, if you insist."
She pushed him away to leave, but Brandon suddenly took her arm and threw her against the wall. She felt dizzy. The next moment she was forced to kiss him. He bit her lip fiercely and his tongue tried to push in. Nova suddenly felt nauseous and she stepped on his shoe fiercely. Brandon just snorted, but didn't let go of his strength.
"What the fuck are you doing?" Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Jason smashed Brandon to the ground with a roar, and then he took Nova into his arms. He stared at Brandon who was beaten on the ground with cold eyes, and said in anger, "You fucking dare to touch her!"
His punch was so accurate and cruel that one of Brandon's teeth was a little loose. He wiped his mouth, and it was bleeding. It was a long time since Jason was so angry. He looked at Nova and saw no expression on her face. She didn't even bother to look at him. He was afraid that in her heart, he was such a shameless person. Brandon sneered and said slowly, "Not only did I touch her, and I felt good. If you don't come, I can go a little deeper."
“You shut the fucking up!”
Jason’s blue veins swelled and he clenched his fists. Nova finally turned her eyes to Brandon. There was no feeling in her eyes. Brandon suddenly felt that something was about to be completely lost. He opened his mouth and wanted to call her name, but couldn't say anything.
"Jason," she stopped Jason softly and said in a low voice, "calm down."
There were people coming and going here. She was thinking if the reporter caught them, they would be in trouble.
However, Jason misunderstood her meaning. Since Brandon began to bid and Nova didn't look well and even left. He waited for her for so long. He didn't expect that she would meet her old lover here. The more he thought about these, the angrier he became. He pursed his lips, didn't speak, and pulled Nova away from here.
Brandon looked at his back with his eyes ice-cold and wiped his lips.
He didn't say a word, and held her wrist tightly, as if he was afraid that she would run away, and as if he was declaring his sovereignty. Nova was a little bit painful, but she resisted making a sound. When they crossed all the way to the main hall, Jason did not go in the crowd, but led her towards the gate.
Ewan noticed Nova and Jason from the beginning. He didn't want to say hello because he didn't want to be awkward, but now he saw Jason being very rudely pulling Nova, he frowned. He handed the painting that he just bought to the assistant and walked towards them.
"Nova, are you leaving before it's over?"
Nova was taken aback for a moment, and quietly struggled a bit and Jason lose her a little. He turned his head, looked at him with gloomy eyes.
