Chapter 563
How rare… There was actually a pained expression on Brian’s face.
I wonder if he regrets it now.’ Nova sneered in her heart.
“Shannon, I’ll send you back first. Leave these things with me first. I’ll take care of them.”
“No! I can’t go back! Louise won’t rest until she has killed me! If I go back now, I will definitely die in her hands! Brian, please, on behalf of my late daughter, please help me!” Louise reacted agitatedly when she heard that Brian wanted to send her back home. “How about this? We can bring Shannon back to the Francis family. With Jasmine around, Louise wouldn’t dare to do anything,” Nova suddenly spoke.
Brian looked at her and nodded slowly. “Okay.”
On the way back, Shannon sat in the back seat. She still had lingering fears when she thought about what had just happened.
Nova sat in the front passenger seat quietly as she looked out of the window. It was like she had become a different person.
Nova seemed to have something on her mind. From time to time, her eyes seemed to fill with sadness.
Brian looked at her and asked with concern, “What’s wrong?”
In response, Nova slowly turned around and looked at him. Her tone was lazy. “I was just thinking. It’s hard to tell what a person is really like. I didn’t expect your ex-fiancée to be so vicious.” Brian did not say anything.
“Do you regret it?” Nova suddenly looked at Brian very seriously. “You treated Louise like treasure. For her, you hurt your ex-wife and watched Louise frame her. Do you regret it?” Brian’s grip on the steering wheel gradually tightened.
His voice was hoarse and desolate. “Grace is the only woman I’ve let down in my life. I’m not worthy of her.”
Nova felt a lump in her throat. Of course you’re not worthy of her!
Nova turned to look out the window, not wanting to say another word to Brian.
When they arrived back at Francis’s family home with Shannon in tow, Jasmine was shocked. “This is…”
Nova replied, “We met Shannon at the mall. She was in danger and didn’t dare to go back home. We wanted to bring her over to stay for two days.”
Jasmine still did not understand. However, Shannon was respectful and looked like she desperately needed the help. Under both Nova and Brian’s insistence, Jasmine could only end up agreeing to it.
Nova brought Shannon upstairs. “Shannon, you can stay in this room. Louise used to stay here back then.”
Shannon was terrified when she heard Louise’s name. However, it was already good enough to have a place to stay. She did not dare to be picky.
“Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Nova. I’m Jasmine’s goddaughter.” Nova smiled.
“Nova… Are you Brian’s girlfriend?” Shannon looked surprised.
Nova had not planned to introduce herself like this. Since Shannon already found out, she could only nod.
“You are indeed very good-looking.
Much better than Louise. Most importantly, you have a kind and righteous heart.” Shannon smiled at Nova “Miss Nova, you saved me today. I don’t know how to thank you What do you want? I’ll prepare it for you later!”
Nova said politely, “There’s no need. I would’ve lent a helping hand today regardless of who it was.”
After a while, Shannon seemed to have thought of something and asked, “By the way, have we met before? You looked like you knew me back in the elevator.” Shannon felt that Nova looked a little familiar.
Nova shook her head. “I don’t know
you. Perhaps I was drawn in by your elegance and took a second look at you. Later, when I came out of the elevator, I realized that someone was following you.”
