Chapter 491
Nova replied, "The last time I talked to someone about a collaboration, I was almost violated. Fortunately, Brian arrived in time and beat up Mr. Grey in a few moves. Mom, you don't know how scared I was at that time. If he hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid I would have..." She pinched her clothes, feeling a lingering fear.
Jasmine held her hand and comforted her. "Don't worry. If you have any meetings like this in the future, don't go alone. Let Brian accompany you."
"I don't think that's a good idea," Nova said, "Brian is very busy too."
Jasmine thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "By the way, Nova, do you live alone?"
Nova nodded. "That's right. I grew up with my relatives. Ever since my grandfather, who took care of me, had passed, I do not have any other relatives."
Jasmine stroked her hair with heartache. "In this day and age, it's dangerous for a girl to be alone. Why don't we do this? Brian's house has many empty rooms. You can move here and be my companion, okay?" Jasmine looked at her expectantly.
Nova blinked and looked at Brian again. "This... isn't too good. Brian has a fiancée."
Jasmine was not worried about this problem at all. In the past, she felt that Louise was quite suitable for Brian, but now, she felt that Nova was more suitable for her son.
Her looks, figure, and ability were all better than Louise's.
Moreover, she could tell that Brian was no longer obsessed with Louise. It would be great if she could use this opportunity to matchmaker Nova and Brian.
"Don't worry about him. You're just accompanying me. It won't hinder him." Jasmine's attitude was very firm. She insisted that Nova stay here.
Brian's expression was not good, but he did not say anything to object.
He extinguished the cigarette in his hand. "Mom, I'll go up first."
Nova looked at his cold back and asked in a low voice, "Mom, is he angry? If I move in, Louise will definitely be unhappy..."
Jasmine pursed her lips. "Don't worry about him. He's always like this. He doesn't say much. He's always pulling a long face. Nova, to be honest, Brian and Louise have been engaged for more than five years."
Nova's eyes widened in surprise. "Then why aren't they married?"

Jasmine thought about what had happened in the past. Too many people and things were involved. She summarized it simply, "Something happened when their wedding was approaching. Later, I felt that he seemed to have become a different person and never mentioned the wedding again. Moreover, I feel that Brian doesn't seem to like Louise that much anymore. It's still a question if they
can get together."
Nova nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Mom, I think Louise is quite good. She's understanding and good-looking. You must like her very much, right?" Jasmine forced a smile. "She is alright."
Nova secretly curled her lips and thought, 'Louise, it looks like your luck is really running out this time.'
At 10 pm, Nova returned to her room to rest.
The room that Jasmine had
arranged for her was next to Brian's.
Jasmine said, "I'll sleep in the
innermost room. If you need anything at night, just knock on Brian's door and look for him"
Nova nodded. "I understand. Good night, Mom."
Walking into the room, Nova looked at the furnishings in the room. Louise had slept in this room before. Although everything had been changed, she still felt a little disgusted.
Jasmine said, "Good night."
