Chapter48 Indifference
Indifference
Novia was amused and touched by what he said.
Grandma noticed them at first and then laid down the watering can. She shook her head and said in an undertone, “You just can’t wait for even two months.”
Novia went blank for a while and then blushed. Jason did not feel abashed at all and came to help Grandma water the plants, smiling, “I should take swift action so that you will have another great- grandson.”
Hearing this, Grandma laughed out as well. Asher turned and looked at Novia for a second when he heard Jason mentioned great-grandson. Sniffing, he turned around and continued to read the newspaper. Novia was quite embarrassed by what Jason had said. Moreover, they already had a great- grandson, Elliot. Thinking of that, Novia was a bit upset. She did not loathe Elliot. On the contrary, she liked him very much. But somehow, she was jealous when she thought that Jason might have liked a woman who was willing to give birth to his child. She surely wanted his impeccable love, but she was not kind of woman who would not let go of the past. She just needed sometime before she accepted that.
After the breakfast, Jason drove her home. If he did not need to handle the situation, he would not let her come home. Novia went to the hospital and bought the contraceptive pill on the way home. Then she got on the car.
“Are you not feeling well?”
Jason was a little surprised.
Novia shook her head and put the pill case into the pocket, saying in a low voice, “It’s vitamin E.”
They did not use any contraception method when they suddenly wanted to make out last night. Novia did not get ready to have a baby, so she bought the pill. But subconsciously, she did not want tell Jason about that because she thought he would be annoyed. She did not want him to be annoyed.
Jason stopped the car unhurriedly when they arrived at Novia’s apartment. Luckily, the press did not know this apartment. Otherwise, there would be crowded with journalists.
Because of the intimacy last night, it was difficult for them to say goodbye now.
“I’ve asked someone to come to your apartment and look after you these days. Take care of yourself and call me. Do not flirt with other guys, even they are your clients, especially Brandon!”
As for the biggest rival, Jason remained vigilant at any times.
Novia was amused and then laughed at him, “Do I need to miss you five hundred times a day?”
Jason was surprised at first, then he sobered, “One thousand times a day.”
Looking that he was being like a child, Novia felt her heart had melted. Then she said tenderly, “Don’t worry. I won’t love anyone else other than you now that I’ve promised you.”
His lips curved in a smile. Then he was pleased and gave her a kiss, whispering, “After I handle this, I’ll come to you.”
Novia nodded her head and got off the car. After she took several steps, he suddenly called her. Novia was bewildered and then turned around. Jason got off the car as well and then held her in his arms.
“Promise me – do not come forward before I settle this. And don’t say anything, just let me handle this.”
Her heart jolted when she heard this. She gripped his hand and asked in a low tone, “Did you plan this?”
Jason knew that she was asking why Ayan took drugs. He stoked her hair and looked into her eyes, saying seriously, “I asked someone to inject hallucinogen to him.”
Novia was shocked, so there was someone else who wanted to frame him. She caught his hand subconsciously. Jason comforted her gently, “Don’t worry. I did not do that and I’ll be OK.”
Her hear jolted when she heard this.
“Was it because of the video clip?” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Jason smirked and said, “It was good. I’ll treasure it.”
Novia did not get angry. She hugged him tightly and said in an undertone, “I’m ready to face this issue with you.”
“Don’t underestimate me.”
Jason was self-assured.
“If I can’t handle this, what else can I do?”
Maybe because Novia began to have affection toward him, she still worried about him. She was not as optimistic as him, so she thought she don’t mind revealing the truth of she being harassed if necessary.
“OK, go home. I may not want you to go if you still stay.”
Jason pushed her away and signaled her to leave. Looking at him, Novia felt her heart melted.
After Novia entered the elevator, Jason took out his cigarette and lit it. Then he puffed on it twice and left.
Novia stood in the elevator by herself, thinking about what had happened these days. Her thought was wandering. She did not expect that she would make a big emotional commitment to Jason within two days. Thinking of that, she took the contraceptive pill out of her pocket. Then she could not resist hesitating. Essentially, she did not want to have a baby now. Because of her family background, she did not even want to get married. Furthermore, she did not want herself to have a baby before she married Jason. Being prudent, she would prepare for the best and the worst in the same time. If the situation was better than she expected, she would breathe a sigh of relief. And this time was no exception. But there was a voice in her heart, saying “It is different this time; he is different.”
The elevator door was opened. She stopped thinking and went out of the elevator with her hand grabbing the pill.
When she came to the door of the apartment, she saw a man in Frey coat standing at the door. He leaned against the wall, and there were a lot of cigarette butts around him. Through the smoke, Novia saw his face and frowned.
“Stop making out with him?”
He spoke at first.
His sarcastic words annoyed Novia. She clenched her wrist and did not replied.
He was infuriated by her silence. He threw the cigarette away suddenly, and then stepped toward her with his hand grabbing her chin. He stretched out another hand and rubbed her lips hard with his rough fingers, which made her tremble with the pain. Novia stepped backward and wanted to push him away. But Brandon was more incensed. He pinned her against the wall and said angrily, “You let him kiss you, you let him kiss you!”
Thinking of what he had seen just now, he could not help being angry. She allowed Jason to kiss her. Why! How could she do that? He felt like he was robbed of something that had belonged to him. And
she forgot whom she belonged to. He could not tolerate that.
He pressed her more firmly. Novia was unable to push him away, so she gave him a nasty bite. Brandon felt the pain and then released his grip. She almost fell to the ground. Then she held the wall immediately to steady herself, but the stuff in her hand fell to the floor. She leaned against the wall and panted. She looked at him indifferently, as if she was staring at a stranger.
