Chapter 126: 126 126: Jealousy

Evan and Novie were remained seated as she told him what happened in the bar and, the fake wedding they had in the church. She was not expecting Evan to be this funny, he was good at making side comment which she was not expecting as he was always cold towards another human.

When they finished their food, Evan asked if she wanted a dessert but,her stomach is about to burst so she politely refused it.

Novie was about to ask him about Ken when she noticed a figure walking towards her, she looked at its direction and found Daniella holding a steak knife while Ken was behind her, trying to stop her.

When the two stood in front of them, Evan looked at his wife and his lips stretched a smile and immediately got up.

"Hey," Novie noticed the forced smile on Daniella's lips. She had her round eyes narrowed as she stared at her husband.

"Hi," Daniella replied to her husband and, looked at her.

Novie instantly got up and waved a hand as a greeting. She doesn't know why but, they looked like lovers who got caught by the legal wife.

Ken immediately took the knife from Daniella's hand and, went next to Novie. He looked at her with a smile on his face, surprised by her appearance.

"Have you eaten?" he asked as he removed the strands of hair from her face. Novie plastered a sweet smile and nodded. She circled an arm around his waist and came closer.

"Are you done with your date?" Novie asked while switching her eyes between Daniella and Ken.

Suddenly Daniella laughed, and she doesn't know why but, she could hear the sarcasm in it.

"Date? Novie he's my brother." the woman was shaking her head as she speaks while the strange smile was on her lips.

Evan, Ken, and Novie looked at each other secretly. They noticed the weird expression Daniella had in her face.

"I was – I don't mean anything like that" she tried to explain to Daniella that her words don't mean anything but, the woman turned to her and her cold eyes and fake smile made her tongue paralyzed.

"No worries. Anyway, I need to go." Novie could see how tightly Daniella was holding her purse while her smile didn't reach her eyes.

"Evan, bring your kids at your father's house because I will not be around for someday" without bidding her goodbye, Daniella left.

All of them were speechless. Unsure whether to stop Daniella or not.

In the other side, Novie's face flushed a guilty expression when she realized that Daniella might be jealous and, she doesn't know why.

She fell deeply in her thought and, wonder if she and Evan did something wrong but, all they've done was to eat and talk.

She blinked to get her senses back when she heard Ken's voice.

"Evan what did you do? She's really angry" Ken had his face wrinkled in confusion.

Evan shrugged his shoulders and paid their bill.

"Tsk. I don't know but, I will need to follow her. I will see you both around" saying that, Evan left running.

Through the glass wall, they could see Evan grabbing Daniella's arm to stop her but, the woman pulled her arm and walked away.

Even from the distance, she could see the two arguing. Her eyes widened in surprise when Evan suddenly carried Daniella on his shoulder like a sack of rice and throws her in the passenger seat.

(Oh my God!) Novie screamed in her head. Earlier, she was hoping that Daniella's bad mood was because of the steak but, that was not the case. She jealous and she doesn't know why.

Her lips slightly parted to ask Ken a question, "Is she jealous of me?" she absently spoke.

Ken looked at her and saw the worried expression in her face.

He put a hand on her head and patted it lightly, "Don't worry, you're not in her to-do list"

Novie tilted her head in confusion and looked up to him, "List of what?"

Before responding, Ken sighed and embraced her. She could feel his head weight as he rested his chin on her head.

"List of people she needs to kill, don't worry you're my fiance, she will let you off" hearing those words made her gasped in shock.

She didn't do anything and never thought of Evan. To her, he's Daniella's husband nothing else and, she felt insulted that Daniella thought of her like that.

Her cheerful mood went bitter, she pouted and asked Ken to bring her back to their apartment.

As they drive their way back, Novie took her phone out to send Daniella a message.

(Daniella, there is nothing going on between me and your husband. So, there's no reason for you to be jealous. I will stay from your husband if that's what makes you feel comfortable)

When she sent the message, her lips were pouting in annoyance.

Minutes later, her phone buzzed and, she saw Daniella's number.

She blows a sighed and opened it.

(I am not jealous, you silly girl! There are so many things happening and, our fight was not because of you. Well partly, I hate seeing him so happy with another woman but, we are cool)

Her lips parted in confusion, she was not sure whether to laugh or feel annoyed. In the end, her lips curved up a smile and looked at Ken.

Seeing that he's concentrating on driving, she looked back at her phone and her finger tapped the screen to reply.

(Well, I am sorry if I annoyed you. Anyway, I will be going to the province, is there anything you need?)

Shortly after she sent the message, Daniella replied in just a short time.

(Yes. Can you postpone your trip and bring the triplets to the zoo tomorrow? Evan's father got a cold and he promised to bring the triplets to the zoo, so can you do it please?)

Novie's eyebrow rose by itself. She already informs her mother that she will be coming but, she could not say no to Daniella.

She sighed and tapped on the screen on her phone once again.

(No problem, I will go to the province next week)

She lowered her phone to her lap and looked at Ken, seems like the man noticed her presence and looked back at her.

Novie plastered a wary smile while her hand rested on his shoulder and traveled to his neck.

"Can we go to the zoo tomorrow?" she asked in a sweet sounding voice.

She could see the smile forming in Ken's lips while his eyes were focusing on the road.

"Is it a date?" Ken asked with a smirked.

Novie blinked repeatedly and bit on her lower lips, "Yes but, there will be five of us" she paused and waited for his reaction.

Ken didn't respond, after some time he pressed the brake that caused her to slide from her chair.

Novie glared at him while positioning herself back at the chair.

"Ken I didn't have a seatbelt on" she blurted but, Ken ignored her complain and stared at her deeply.

"I just want to be clear. When you said five, you mean your parents and Brent right?" his eyes were wide opened as if he's talking to a ghost.

Novie slowly shook her head while her lips were pressed together. She wanted to laugh, the terror she's seeing in his face was too much for her to handle.

When Ken realized what she meant the man let out a loud gasped and repeatedly bang his head at the steering wheel.

"Oh my God! We will need to have a lot of sleep to deal with them tomorrow" Ken murmured
