My Wealthy Husband

Chapter 4 I Never Had a Choice

She had only known this man for a few minutes and didn’t talk much. She knew pretty well that she didn’t love him, but she felt like that she was burning up inside. It turned out that she can also be wild.

“Uh...”

Nova felt faint blood on her lips and the man was glaring at her, “What are you wandering?”

Nova blinked her eyes lightly and met man’s angry eyes. Was he mad? But what for?

“Are you thinking about other men?”

Nova didn’t know why was he angry, but she hesitated for a bit and said, “No.”

The man clearly didn’t believe her and bate her on the shoulder.

“If you are seeing me as other men, I’ll bite you bit by bit till you die.”

Feeling painful, Nova patted his shoulders slightly and kissed him, seeming like to be placating him.

Then they entangled with each other all night.

Nova had already fallen asleep when everything was finished. The air was filled with an arousing vibe.

The man was lying on the bed hugging the woman that he had sex with. Nova’s body was filled with love bites which made him pretty annoyed, because he felt that he was a bit of rough and he wasn’t able to control himself.

He was always restraining in terms of his erotic feelings. Far more beautiful women than her had seduced him before, but he didn’t even care to look at them.

Looking at the woman in his chest, he pinched her face and said, “Nova, right? I’ll remember you.”

The man was still wearing the clothes before after he took a shower. The hotel manager was already waiting outside when he got downstairs. Seeing that he’s out, the manager immediately greeted him and asked, “President Chapmen, did you sleep well last night?”

The man looked back and answered coldly, “Send a lady dress to my room. See what does she want.”

The manager immediately nodded and handed the man a brand-new phone. “President Chapman, this is the phone that you asked and I’ve already saved the numbers.”

The man took it over and dialed a number.

The phone got through quickly and a warm man voice started talking, “President Chapman, where have you been all night? I couldn’t get through.” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“My car broke down and it was pouring outside, so I spent the night in a hotel. Come over and pick me up. I have to go to the construction site later.”

Then he paused and said, “Was the wedding between Graham and Robinson called off?”

The assistant was a bit surprised. “You just returned home. Why do you want to know this all of a sudden?”

The man didn’t want to say much, so he frowned, “Was it called off or not?”

The assistant touched his nose and said, “It was indeed called off. I just noticed this news this morning. It was all over the internet. It was said that both sisters fell in love with the same man and the big sister stole him from the younger sister and made quite a scene on the wedding. The Grahams felt ashamed, so they cancelled the wedding temporarily.”

“The big sister stole the lover?”

The man raised his eyebrows and thought that if Nova was the one who stole the lover, how come she would be stupid enough to have one-night stand with a stranger?

Nobody would believe this kind of bullshit. “Prepare a bidding document. I want to bid for the land in Tian Haiwan.”

The assistant was a bit shocked and said, “President Chapman, Tian Haiwan is Grahams’ flagship project this year and they want to build the biggest resort in the province. What’s more, that land isn’t quite useful to us. Aren’t we offending Grahams by doing this?”

The man squinted his eyes and said, “Well, since you are so thoughtful, why don’t you be the boss here?”

The assistant got quiet and said, “I’ll get it done right away.”

The man then hung up the phone and glanced at the hotel and said, “Who said I’m doing this for that project?”

Nova’s mind was still a bit muddy when she woke up. Her body was reminding her what a crazy night she had experienced. She wasn’t drunk last night, so she knew clearly what she did. The room still had that man’s smell, but he was already gone.

She was a bit disappointed for a moment, but then she shook her heads self-deprecatingly. Well, it was just a one-night stand and it was a consensual sex. She can’t really expect the man to be all considerate.

She then sat up and noticed the clean clothes on the bedside and there was note with a number on it.

Did he want to keep in touch?

Nova glanced at the note and tossed it into the garbage can. She then got dressed and left the hotel. She also bought a pack of contraceptives in a drug store on her way to company and swallowed it down.

It was just a one-night stand. She didn’t want any troubles later. They both got what they wanted.

She already heard the news in the car before she arrived at the company.

Toby didn’t even clarify what happened and didn’t retort media’s false reporting. She was the victim, but she now became a bad bitch who stole her sister’s boyfriend. What an irony.

Naturally, all kinds of look including questioning, taunting or pity piled up on her when she entered the company. But Nova didn’t care about all that and went straight into her office.

Her phone rang after she went into the office and her tense face loosened a bit. Then she answered the call.

“Nova, geez, I finally got through.” Emile sounded surprised. “How come that you didn’t contact me after what happened. Ewan is such a piece of shit. How dare he to do that! I’m so disgusted.”

Nova knew that Emilie was taking up the cudgels for her, but she didn’t want to talk about this at this moment. “Aren’t you taking holidays in E. Sea with Denis? Is it beautiful there?’

“Well, it’s all right. Why are you changing the subject! I always disliked Ewan. I don’t have to fake anymore! You know that he is way out of your league. Moreover, your little sister is always competing with you and wants everything that you have. I have long said that Ewan is undependable and too indecisive, but you won’t listen. You’re realized it, right?”

Nova didn’t rebuke. She whispered in a while, “Emilie, unlike you, I don’t have a choice in my life.”
