    Chapter 354 She Is Telling You...


    Baldwin was at a loss for words.


    Mabel squinted at her son with a frown. "The unwillingness on your face was too obvious to be


    ignored...''


    Henry was rendered speechless then.


    Baldwin put on a resigned face. "Mom, it''s not like what you think, but what you see now. Things like


    that, can''t be made by force."


    He wished Mabel happiness, but he didn''t want it toe with a lie.


    "Only themselves know what they want for real sometimes. Henry was a grown-up man now, we can''t


    keep meddling in his affairs. Don''t you know your grandson? How could he allow others to have a


    finger on his pie?"


    Henry''s ignorance of Nova grieved Mabel and Baldwin''s indifference caused her anxiety. "I''m afraid that


    it will be toote to be regretful if someday hees to realize that Nova is actually the world of him!"


    Baldwin sighed inwardly, falling into silence.


    Mabel spoke again. "As for my health condition, I think I know it best, I''m very well. You shouldn''t be


    too worried about it and travel so far to look in on me. I have got over the sore point of mine, so, I will


    take care of myself, you know, now I''m taking pills on time and it works on me."


    Baldwin nodded with satisfaction. For momentster he turned to look at Mabel once again. "I share


    the same idea in terms of Nova with you, if so, you should mind your health to borrow more years so


    that we can wait for Henry to regret."


    Tell the truth, that was what Mabel wanted to hear from Baldwin. Nodding and pouting, she caviled,


    "Yeah, I''ll wait and see him having a taste of his own medicine. For such a conceited man, he should


    pay for his conceit and arrogance crying pitiably!"


    Baldwin didn''t echo her words but gave a slight cough to hide his resignation. He just hopes Mabel


    could really leave them some time to mind their business alone.


    Here at the banquet.


    Henry was going around to look for Nova after his talk with Evan. A few secondster, he finally spotted


    Nova sitting in front of Michelle, then he came striding along to meet her.


    Nova seemed to be getting along pretty well with Michelle. Nova was oblivious to Henry, but Michelle


    noticed Henry when he strode across the crowds. "Mr. King, it''s d to see you again." Said she, her


    eyes shining with light.


    Henry simply nodded his greeting. His own way of facing the people he couldn''t be bothered to


    circte, making Michelle burn with awkwardness.


    Nova looked back hearing the sound, frowning. What does hee for?


    Will his into nonexistence. Why doesn''t he stay away from herself and allow her some breathing time?


    I''m really sick of pretending to be nice to him!


    "How long do you still need to rest? It''ste." Henry''s eye flicked up.


    "I''m in high heels all evening, you know, my feet are sore after so much walk." She wasn''t pretending.


    She turned a little, hoping he could realize the implications of her words. Honestly, she was unable to


    move now due to tiredness, not to mention that negotiation was totally none of her business.N?velDrama.Org content rights.


    Not to mention that it was the antagonistic Henry who picked the damn shoes for her!


    Nova surprised Henry with her words, and Henry himself didn''t anticipate that. Subconsciously, he


    lowered his gaze to her feet, but it was blocked by the dress. He couldn''t see through the dress to see


    what was wrong with her feet.


    Henry let out a sneer, but remaining his smile in ce. "Can you just hang in there? We will finish


    soon."


    Again, Nova was rendered speechless, anger rising in her throat. Damn you, ruthless asshole! He must


    want to misuse her with the excuse of work.


    Thank God, there was Michelle. With her presence, Henry could only pretend to be a real gentleman


    and be civil. Nova managed to keep her smile in ce and said endearingly, "Mr. King, brilliant as you,


    could surely handle all of those projects easily. In this case, what''s the use of me? With a pair of sore


    feet, I could be nothing helpful but an encumbrance of you. Please, could you give me more time to


    rest my feet?"


    Then she turned a bit to look Michelle in the eyes. "And, Michelle is an acquaintance of you, it''s a good


    opportunity for you two to have a stroll around." The way she looked at Michelle, friendly, curious, and


    kind.


    Michelle blinked, rather surprised.


    But she didn''t miss the deep line between Henry''s eyebrows. Therefore, she made up her mind to


    refuse. "It would be great, but just like Miss Bush, my feet get tired, and I’ve got something else to deal


    with. So, I can''t have a stroll with Mr. King.


    Her words sound like an echo of Nova''s words, giving Nova more confidence to bluff it out. She winked


    at Henry mischievously, her look clearly stated: Now you know how tired our women are? She is telling


    you how tiring the heels are in case you can''t imagine!"
