I Know That


    “If you don’t disguise yourself as a woman, everyone is able to recognize you.”


    Jason had a twitch on his lips and said in an undertone, “This idea sucks!”


    Brody raised his eyebrows and did notment. Smiling, Novia wiped his lips with a tissue gently and


    said in a low voice, “Thanks.”


    His anger dissipated right away when he heard this. He looked at Novia and asked her with


    embarrassment, “Am I hideous in disguise?”


    Novia seemed serious, “No.”


    “Really?”


    A smile lit up his face.


    Novia forced herself to shake her head.


    “Right. At least other guys were attracted to you when you were in disguise. It was not a failure.”


    Brody spoke suddenly. Jason squinted at him and then threw the wig at him.


    “They send you here?”


    Jason guessed when he saw where they headed for.


    “Now that everyone knows what happened to the Thompson, Asher wants to know more about the


    incident.”


    “I want the truth.”


    Brody did not respond at first, then he said, “Brandon has been to the vi.”


    It was suddenly quiet inside the car.


    When Novia heard the name, she could not resist frowning.


    “I’m his youngest uncle.”


    What Brandon had said to her resounded in her mind. She knew that Brandon would not lie. But it


    seemed that Brody did not treat him as their uncle. Then what kind of rtionship did they have? And


    what kind of role did Brandon y in this? Novia thought maybe the Chapman family had more secrets


    than the Graham family.


    Suddenly, she felt her hand was touched by someone and she found Jason was holding her hand. She


    was a bit surprised. Then he said, “Don’t take it personally no matter what Asher and Grandma say to


    you after wee home. And you can just walk away if you cannot stand.”

    Novia was amused and asked in a low voice, “Isn’t it inappropriate to walk away directly?”


    Jason frowned and thought for a while, “Right, I will take it out on them before we leave.”


    Novia was speechless.


    Then they arrived at Chapmans’ vi.


    It was the first time that Novia had ever been to Jason’s home, so she could not help feeling ill at ease.


    In fact, what Asher and Grandma had said to her still preyed on her mind. But since she had promised


    Jason, she would not give up then. She had to get their approval. She hoped that her rtionship with


    Jason would continue with his grandparents’ blessings. She did not want her life to be ruined by a


    disastrous marriage like her mother.


    But she was unable to please someone. She did not have such experience because she spent too little


    time with elders. She was a bit strained. But Jason was amused by her anxious look.


    “They are just an elderly couple. Why can’t you just rx yourself like you used to when you confronted


    me?”


    Novia flicked a re at him. She thought facing him and facing his grandparents were totally two


    different things.


    “I need to pick up my wife.”


    Brody said and then left them. Jason was jealous of Brody mentioning his wife directly and


    unreservedly. He thought, he had to hurry up and marry Novia as well.


    The vi was not too big. And there were only two servants –the butler, Jack and the cook, Emily. The


    vi was austere and clean, and it looked quite lovely. Before Novia came in, she saw different sorts of


    nts in the garden. She thought, the people lived here must have enjoyed their lives very much. Then


    she wondered, a person who enjoyed her life must have a soft heart.


    Thinking of that, she calmed herself down and came to the living room with Jason. Not surprisingly,


    Asher and Grandmahad been waiting for them.


    “Wee back.”


    Grandma gave a smile when she saw Jason. And she seemed amiable even when she met Novia.


    However, Asher sniffed and turned his face when he saw her, as if he did not want to talk to her at all.


    Novia felt a bit embarrassed. Her face was flushed when she thought of that she had contradicted them


    the other day. But she failed to find any words to lighten the atmosphere.


    Jason held her hand and said in an undertone, “Grandma was greeting you. Why don’t you say


    something?”


    He said it naturally, making Novia feel that she was being impolite if she did not exchange greetings


    with Grandma, so she bowed to Grandma slightly and said in a low voice, “Hello.”


    Grandma looked at her and then nodded with calmness.


    “You are both injured, sit down please.”


    Taking Novia’s hand, Jason sat down on the couch with her right after Grandma said this. He even


    offered her a cup of tea gently and whispered to her, “Have some tea. Your lips are dry.”


    Novia was abashed. Then she nudged him, reminding him to behave himself.


    Asher was also embarrassed by him. He said angrily, “Have you done this to your grandma? What a


    jerk.”


    Jason did not feel ashamed at all. He nced at Grandma’s cup and squinted his eyes, “I learn this


    from you.”


    Asher blushed and said, “Wretch!” Then he turned his face and did not spoke again.


    Grandma smiled. Apparently, she did not take it personally. Then she asked, “Have you decided to go


    steady?”


    Jason and Novia were surprised that she would ask directly. But Jason soon took Novia’s hand firmly


    and said seriously, “Grandma, do not try to ask her to leave me. I will go after her no matter where she


    goes. If you are unwilling to see her moving in the vi, I will move to live with her. She’s the only one


    that I want to live with for the rest of my life.”


    Novia was abashed and touched by what he said in the meantime, so she did not deny.


    Surprisingly, Grandma was not angered, “What I have done is trying to protect you from any harm.


    Jason, think about it. If she has the same affection toward you, then she will never leave you no matter


    what I say.”


    “I’m trying to make her fall in love with me,” Jason interrupted, “Grandma, do not try that again. I will


    never let her go. Let me put it more straightforwardly, I will never marry anyone other than her.”


    Asher had a twitch on his lips and hit Jason on his leg with his stick.


    “How dare you talk to her like that!”


    Jason did not spoke. But he was firm. Novia was moved by him, so she could not help holding his hand


    tightly. Jason felt that and gave her a smile tofort her.


    Grandma did not respond. She turned and spoke to Novia instead, “Now that you’ve decided to be with


    him, have you prepared to say goodbye to the past? I’ve told you that the Chapman family do not care


    about the position or appearance of Mrs. Chapman. But she must be upright and noble. I’ve heard that


    the Graham Group is cooperating with F&R Group. Have you told Jason that? Have you ever thought


    about his feelings? He asks me to ept you, but I need you to impress me with your sincerity.”


    Novia clenched her fists with her fingers dug into her palm. Jason was obviously surprised by what


    Grandma had said, because he did not know it at all. He had mixed feelings about that, but he frowned


    and said, “No, I know that.”


    “No…”
