Chapter 492
Nova thought, 'Forget it, I will make do with it tonight. When I move in, I want to stay in the room I used to live in.'
After taking a shower, Nova realized that there was no hairdryer in the bathroom. She wiped her hair with a towel and went downstairs. She went to the bathroom on the first floor to get a hairdryer and went to the cabinet on the counter to find a disposable cup to drink. After drinking, she took another full cup and was about to bring it back to her room when she bumped into a familiar figure.
Brian stood in the living room in his pajamas and looked at her coldly.
Nova jumped, spilling the water from her cup. She patted her chest. "You scared the hell out of me."
Then, she walked towards him and looked at him with a smile. She called out to him in a soft voice, "Why are you up? Did you lose sleep because I slept next door to you?"
He narrowed his eyes at her. "You seem familiar with my home."
Nova's heart skipped a beat, but she smiled without changing her expression. "I'm going to live under the same roof as you soon. Of course, I have to familiarize myself with it in advance."
Brian examined her. Her movements were too smooth just now as if she had lived in this house for a long time. There were so many cabinets at the bar, but she could accurately open the cabinets with disposable cups.
Also, when she brought out the fruits today, it took less than two minutes from the time she placed the plates to the time she came out of the kitchen. This meant that she did not take much time to look for them when she searched for the fruit plate.
There were so many cabinets in the kitchen, and she was the only one there. Brian wondered how Nova was able to locate the plate accurately.
The villa was so big and there were so many rooms. It was impossible for any person to remember everything in every cabinet so clearly when they were in such a big house for the first time.
Seeing that he seemed to be suspicious of her, Nova explained, "When I went to the toilet on the first floor tonight, I saw a hairdryer inside. Mom told me that there were disposable cups in the cabinet."
Brian stared into her eyes as if trying to guess the truth of her words.
Nova smiled at him and stepped forward. She tiptoed and whispered in his ear, "I'm looking forward to living with you."
Brian frowned.
She gave him a cheeky wink and reached the top of the stairs. She stopped abruptly and turned to blow him a kiss. "Good night, Brian."
Brian's breathing became chaotic.
She thought, 'There must be something wrong with Nova! Although her explanation sounded reasonable, I still feel that she is a little too familiar with this house.'
Nova did not sleep on the bed. She found the bed that Louise had slept on dirty.
She made do on the sofa for the entire night.
The next day, she woke up very early. She had wanted to get up to make breakfast, but when she went downstairs, she found Melvin busy in the kitchen.
She looked at him in a daze for a
while. In the past, in this family, Melvin treated her sincerely. Now
that she saw him again, she
still
respected him.
She collected herself and went into the kitchen. "Good morning, Melvin."
When Melvin heard the voice, he stopped what he was doing and bowed respectfully to her. "Morning, Miss Nova."
Nova smiled. "Are you making breakfast? What are we having this morning?"
Melvin said, "Yes, Miss Nova. Mr. Brian likes sandwiches. Peanut butter sandwiches will be our breakfast this morning." Brian only started to like sandwiches after she married him.
Because Nova's sandwiches were very different from the ones sold outside. She remembered that he looked disgusted when she made him sandwiches the first time.
