Chapter 42: What a nonsense surprise

Cassian was even more annoyed. He stood up on his feet, glaring dangerously at Alan. "You should stay out of this if you don’t want your life in danger," he threatened.

Alan lightly shook his head. "Snow... is this how he always shouts at you? You should divorce him. He’s a red flag for you," he said to Nova while glaring murderously at Cassian.

Hearing the word divorce, Cassian froze immediately and pulled Alan aside, holding Nova’s hand. "I’m... I’m sorry, don’t divorce me. I... I promise I will never shout at you again," he pleaded.

Nova smiled and stared at Alan. "He... is not usually like this, just a little possessive. See, he apologized already," she said.

Alan’s brows knitted with concern. "I can never shout at you like that... he’s so dangerous." He folded his arms together, rolling his eyes.

"You shut up," Cassian gritted his teeth together.

Nova laughed lightly. "Don’t be angry. You should get along with Alan, he’s very obedient," she said.

"Darling, why are...." Cassian bit his lower lip, then forced a smile onto his lips. "Fine, I will try to get along with him," he promised.

"Brother Cassian!" A panicked female voice echoed, and a lady in a bright yellow dress rushed in.

"Brother Cassian, I heard you are injured! Is it bad? Are you feeling pain?" The lady panicked as she rushed inside, bursting into tears as she saw his heavily bandaged leg.

"Why are you still standing like that? You should sit down, don’t stand on your injured leg," she said in between sobbing.

Silence took over, with only the lady shedding crocodile tears, all eyes fixed on her with disgusted expressions on their faces.

"Oh... you are still alive, Miss Clara. Long time no see. I can see you are still after my husband," Nova commented, and suddenly the system interface appeared in front of her with Clara’s information.

[Ding!]

Target Information Updated:

Name: Clara Dolway

Identity: Noble Young Heiress

Status: Single (love decreased for Cassian)

Threat Level: 0

Reading the information, Nova smiled lightly. "I knew this girl was never serious. Her threat level is now zero, what a nonsense surprise," she thought.

"She’s just a stupid heiress in love, ignore her," Anah replied.

Clara finally noticed Nova, her heart almost jumping out of her chest in fear. "You... you beautiful enemy, what... what are you doing here?" she stuttered, clearly terrified of Nova. Then her gaze fell on Nova’s clothes, noticing the color.

"Ha ah! You wore white! You too... your clothes’ color is attacking my eyes! Very bad, it’s not beautiful!" she shouted, her hands resting on her waist with a proud smile on her face.

Nova raised an eyebrow. "You do hold a grudge, I see," she commented.

Clara gently played with her hair. "There’s nothing you can say now. Look, I’m wearing yellow, so beautiful, haha," she laughed happily, spinning around.

Nova shook her head. "Did she hit her head on something before coming here or what?" she thought.

"Say something! How’s my dress?" Clara shouted for Nova’s attention immediately and spun around again. "You have nothing to say about it? Yeah, after all, you don’t know fashion. Let me tell you... I just got this dress from the popular....."

"Alright, shut up. Are you here to check on my husband?" Nova questioned.

"I’m here for you!" Clara shouted, and then froze. "Hold on... you are married?" She looked at Cassian. "Brother Cassian, you are married? You married her?" she asked.

Nova and Cassian were just staring at her, while Alan sat on the bed, calmly watching the drama.

Clara burst into crocodile tears again. "How... how can you two be married? What about me? I... I will go and jump into the river now! I don’t want to continue living," she cried without moving from her spot.

"You are not fat, why aren’t you moving yet? Find a river that won’t spit out your corpse and jump inside it, that should make your death more meaningful," Nova commented.

Clara paused. "You are supposed to come and console me and hold me tight so I won’t go," she said, forgetting her tears immediately.

Nova rolled her eyes. "Holding you means wanting you safe, and I don’t want that. It’s a complete waste of energy. I shouldn’t stop you from doing the right thing. As for consoling you, I did that before and even advised a perfect one to go for." ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Doing the right thing is jumping inside the river?" Clara said in disbelief.

"You said it yourself."

"You... you are breaking my heart!" she shouted. "I’m going back to my father’s house," Clara cried and left.

"Tsk," Nova hissed slightly.

"Darling, I absolutely have nothing to do with her. If you want, I can ruin her entire family right now," Cassian said.

Nova shook her head. "I know, just leave her alone. She’s not a threat," she replied. She was about to leave when a familiar voice echoed behind her.

"Mum! You are here."

Nova turned around, seeing Andrew. "Why are you here?" she asked.

Andrew walked closer to Nova, hugging her immediately. "I sensed that you were here, so I came here. Mum, I missed you so much," he replied.

Nova lightly patted his back.

"Snow... how did you give birth to such a grown-up man?" Alan asked in shock.

Nova laughed. "I don’t know, he is just obsessed with calling me his mother. Right, let me introduce you. Andrew, this is Alan, my third husband. And Alan, this is Andrew, my son," she introduced.

"Hello," Andrew greeted, sending a cold gaze at Alan.

Alan could feel a chill all over his body. He couldn’t help but have the feeling of being seen completely through by Andrew as he stared into those beautiful blue eyes.

"Hello," Alan replied calmly. Even though he was feeling a chill from Andrew, he didn’t reveal it.

"Mum, I have something to do. It might take a long time before I come back. Don’t ask me what I want to do, I won’t say it," Andrew said, staring at Nova.

Nova’s jaw dropped, speechless. "Anah..."

"Don’t call me. He’s a system, I can’t give you his information unless he allows it," Anah replied, already knowing Nova was curious to know what Andrew wanted to do.

Nova lightly shook her head. "I’d say you are both... almost the same," she thought, and nodded. "Be safe," she replied.

Andrew smiled handsomely and pressed a gentle kiss to Nova’s forehead, then cast another glance at Cassian before he left.

Cassian watched Andrew’s disappearing back and frowned. "This Andrew guy... he isn’t using the "mum" code to get my wife’s attention, is he? All this just doesn’t make sense right now. Let’s wait for the test results to come out first," he thought.
