Chapter 144 Gaining Vigour With Age
Sneer filled Nova’s heart. Look what Sabina had said, it reeked of hypocrisy.
What did she mean we were family?
Sabina was indicating that Nova hardly went home and didn’t view there as a home at all. Her
hidden meaning was that Nova was the one who estranged them.
Sabina’s move today meant to plant the seeds of distrust among people so as to make people
believe that Nova was an untruthful person.
Therefore, she could undo what Nova had said to the media.
But Sabina had taken Nova too lightly. How could Nova give them a chance to claw their image back?
Nova laughed and nodded. “Yeah. We haven’t gotten together for a long time. A few days ago, when I met cousin Kelly I had proposed the idea of a family dinner but she seemed to be busy with something else so she didn’t take it seriously and went to work without saying a few
words. I’m free tomorrow but I’m not sure whether she is available.”
Sabina’s face stiffened at Nova’s words.
As for Kelly, rage bubbled just below the surface of her mind.
She is talking nonsense! She didn’t expect Nova to be such a good liar!
What Nova had said was a beautiful counterattack. They accused her of estranging them now
had been turned into that Nova was discarded by them.
Kelly then gave a strained laugh in a hurry. “Nova, You got me all wrong. I was busy with
something important at the time but I invited you afterward and you refused me. That’s why we didn’t get together for such a long time. I’ll be free tomorrow, so you’re coming and I won’t take
no for an answer!” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Nova nodded with a smile. “Well, I see. You are always kind to me. I won’t misunderstand
anymore.”
Zona: “…”
She felt a little bit drowsy at their stilted conversation.
When will the conversation come to an end?
They were all talking about something boring and guarding against each other all the time. It
definitely would send the people around to sleep. What’s the meaning?
Thinking of it, Zona looked around and found that there was no one caring about what they said, then she broke into a peal of soft laughter.
Her laughter drew others‘ attention. They looked at her simultaneously. Zona had to cough. lightly. “I just thought of something interesting.”
“The old Mrs. King is coming!” Someone cried. Then all of the people present looked over.
An old lady was coming out from the inside room and at her both sides were Henry’s parents. They helped her to walk for fear that she would fall.

Smiles hovered on their lips and made them look happy.
The smile on the corner of Nova’s mouth deepened at the gladsome scene.
And when Kelly caught sight of old Mrs. King, she walked over them subconsciously.
Sian saw her coming, then she said with all smiles. “Kelly, why don’t you come to hold grandma by her hand?”
Sian did that with the intention of showing her acknowledgment toward Kelly. Kelly was her
eligible daughter–in–law!
Then Kelly’s superiority was manifested without incongruity by Sian’s move and Kelly’s parents were family friends of Henry’s parents. She was supposed to be the one who stood behind old
Mrs. King.
But the next moment Sian’s eyes chilled as she caught a glimpse of Nova. Didn’t Nova want to
stick the boot in Kelly? She won’t let it happen!
Kelly answered merrily. “Okay.”
She stepped closer but old Mrs. King raised her hand at the moment when Kelly nearly touched her hand and said helplessly, “Alright, I can walk by myself and I don’t need someone to help me to walk! I need
some walking exercise so I can gain vigor with age, so just leave me alone.”
Kelly’s hands are still poised halfway with embarrassment.
