Chapter 12 Can't you let me find a wife?
When the man finished speaking, he cut off the phone, and suddenly thought about Nova who said that the rascal son was cute. If that boy can be considered cute, then there must have three words written on his forehead when he was a child, a good baby.
Ten minutes later, at the Chapman‘s villa.
Unlike the strong modern style of the Graham’s villa the construction of the Chapman‘s villa is very simple and had the taste of the 70s and 80s. However, it is not old, the Chapman had several generations are military origin. Therefore, it is not surprising that it had such a simple style.
As soon as the man entered the room, he was faced with a large army boot. His pupils shrank and he quickly moved away. With a "thump", the boot hit the wall behind him and fell off.
The man picked up the boots, tut, and said, “The old man's power has not reduced, but these boots should be changed, the skin is all worn off.”.
The old man who was sitting on the couch glared. He looked funny wearing boots on one foot and naked on the other.
When the man said this, the few other people in the living room could not help but laugh.
The old man who was embarrassed said, “Simon! Pick up the boots!”.
“Yes!”
Simon habitually stood in a military posture noticed his reaction, he scratched his head in annoyance and walked over to take the boots from the man, then bent over to the old man's feet.
“Jacob, where did you just now? How could you put Elliot alone upstairs? If it wasn't for Simon who mentioned it, we wouldn't even have known.”.
The affable old lady, sitting next to the old man, frowned and said with some reproach.
The man curled the corner of his lips, looked at Simon, slowly said, “Didn't you tell our grandparents?”.
Simon shrugs, “I said, but you have too much old history that everyone does not believe, I can't help it.”.
The man sighed and looked at the old man.
“Haven't you always wanted me to find a stepmother for Elliot? Now that I have done it, it also upsets you. What kind of trouble is this?”.
The old man glanced at him and frowned
“Really?”
I swear by my gender, Jacob went on a date with a woman tonight!
The man smiled and said, “Of course, when should I bring her to see you?”.
The old man still does not believe. At this time, a girl in casual clothes next to him. Oh no, it should be said that it a woman who shouted,
“Grandpa, I'll help you check it out.”
Once she said it, she ran to the man, like a puppy, and sniffed his left and right. The man stood generously, allowing her ‘to check’.
Within a few seconds, the girl's eyes lit up, and winked at the man.
“Shalimar? Jacob, sister-in-law has good taste.”
The man snorted, "Will my taste be bad?”.
The girl stuck her tongue out and turned to the old man.
“Grandpa, I swear by my gender that my second brother went on a date with a woman tonight. Didn't he say to bring someone back? When it happens, I'll smell her, and I will know if Jacob is lying.”.
The old man snorted and glared at her, “You little girl is not legitimate”.
The little girl shrugged and smiled at the man.
The man looked around and whispered in a half-loud voice. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Grandma, where's my dad?”.
The old lady's eyes changed, she sighed and half-loud said, “He went back first, and when you brought that girl over, I will your father to ask...”
“Ask for what? His son is looking for a partner. He is his father, how dare he not come. How many years have passed? Does he no intend to let Jacob come back in his lifetime! Good-for-nothing!”.
The living room was immediately silent. Even the two chatty people were quiet. The old lady glanced at the man, she felt distressed and helpless in her eyes. After a while, she said
“Your dad he'll figure it out.”.
The man was silent for a while, only to laugh a little and said, “I understand, it's okay.”.
The old man frowned; he didn't like the atmosphere. He suddenly remembered something and asked,
“By the way, where is the porcelain that I asked you to carry?”.
“I'd forgot if you didn't say it.”, the man said with no change in his facial expression.
“Yesterday, wasn't Commander Watts's grandson one month old? You asked me to go on your behalf. Eric was muddled and took the wrong gift. I only just found out this morning.”
He said he looked at the old man's twitching expression and asked,
“Or I'll take the gift back tomorrow?”.
The old man was livid. Take it back? Does he want him to lose all his reputation? This rascal is purposely causing trouble for him!
“Forget it!”.
The old man said in a rough voice.
“Remember to bring the girl home tomorrow, or you can roll back to your place where you can be a bachelor for all you want!”.
“Mmm!”.
The man answered, and his eyes were full of smiles.
“Transfer document?”.
Nova frowned and looked at Eric, the so-called man's assistant, who was in front of her.
“Yes, recently caught up with the change of session, it is not convenient for Mr. Chapman to use the relationship. Just last night, after talking with the president of H. Group, the land was purchased, and all procedures were completed overnight. this was done so I can meet you as promised this morning. Mr. Chapman has the intention to transfer this land to your name, as long as you sign on the line.”.
Nova listened and instead placed the pen down and said, “This transfer, I'm afraid it is not appropriate. We are businessmen, you name a price, I will buy it directly.”.
Eric was somewhat sorry.
“Miss Graham, I'm just an assistant, I would not be able to make the decision.”.
Nova was silent for a moment and the contract was signed and then said, “Can I ask, what does Mr. Chapman do?”.
Eric stroked his glasses and smiled.
“Our boss did a little business abroad. When he got older, the family urged him to start a family, these two years he is planning to expand his business back in the country.”.
The other person was vague, therefore, Nova didn't need to get to the bottom of it. After a duplicate of the agreement was kept, she said, "Please help to thank Mr. Chapman for me.”.
"This kind of thing, it is better for Miss Graham to say it in person.”
Eric skillfully deflected and looked at the time.
“I'm sorry, I still have a meeting, I have to take my leave first.”
Nova nodded and watched Eric leave. she took out her mobile phone and dialed a number and said, “Johnny, help me transfer five million to the Jacob Chapman’s bank account, I know you can do it.”.
H. Group, in the President's office
“Jacob, the person who left the entire R&D department to go back to the country, did it for this? “.
A newspaper smashed over, and the man sitting on the sofa reached out to catch it, glanced at it, and said after a long while.
“Damn it, which newspaper office was it that shot me so old, they didn't even bother helping to photoshop a little.”.
The man who threw the newspaper looked at him gloomily and the atmosphere around him became colder.
The man said, “After graduating, we should start a family. Louie, although you are a celibate, can't you let me find a daughter-in-law?”.
Louie glanced at him, sat down, only to say,
“Did you deliberately let Alfred take this business?”.
The man laughed, “Do I look like a philanthropist?”.
