Chapter 167 How Could she Walk?

Lan almost laughed his head off before he could answer. “Guess what I saw just now!”

Simon raised his eyebrows but made no response to Lan. He was clearly impatient to know.

Then Lan went into a huddle with Simon. “Henry was stomped heavily by some woman! And the scratch

on his shoe told me that the strike was with all of her strength. Henry now was with a face like thunder

because his male pride forced him to suffer in silence!”

Simon’s eyes sharpened. He knew Nova must have been Henry’s unclimbable mountain.

Unclimbable.

Mountain.

Henry’s embarrassment was still exhilarating Lan greatly. “This is the first time I witnessed Henry’s

distress. But I didn’t see the woman.”

And the woman namely Nova.

Simon looked up and at this time Henry run into his satire.

He was alone.

Henry walked straight to them and sat down. But Nova still didn’t show her face. “What is she doing

again?” Henry wore a frown after waiting for a moment.

Mabel’s pudding was half eaten and obviously, she was in high spirits. Orville was relieved to

see her face light up with a grin.

But Mabel didn’t see Nova coming back for such a long time, then asked Henry, “Why Nova didn’t come

back yet? What did you do?”

Henry was also worried about Nova in his heart but he didn’t speak out. He kept casting eyes in the

direction of the door. It had been ten more minutes since he had sat down, enough for Noval to walk

back slowly.

“What did you do to her?” Baldwin scolded him with a sour face.

“How dare I.” Henry retorted.

So defensive and aggressive as she was, how could he take advantage of her? She was not

necessarily the underdog.

Mabel’s voice betrayed the worry she was trying to hide. “She must be trapped by something, go to find

her!”

Mabel asked Henry to find Nova because she still had the intention to be the two’s matchmaker

again.

Time spent together would deepen their relationship now into love once again.

But Nova’s words were still irritating him so he refused, “She knew how to walk back.”

Then he picked up his spoon to eat.

“Brat!” Mabel snatched the spoon from his hand. “I’m just in a better temper now so don’t upset me

again. If something is up with Nova, I’ll fix you to death! How could you be so relieved to leave her

behind alone? Hurry up! Or I’ll go to find her myself!”

Henry was speechless.

“Alright, I’ll go.” He managed to restrain his anger with his eyes shut.

And Sian’s face was overcast with unhappiness.

Why Henry couldn’t get rid of this bitch even though they had divorced! Are we done with her?! Mabel

was bothersome as well, why she liked Nova so much! Nova got no merits at all in her eyes! She was

calculating and doing the King family no favor. Why Mabel gave preference to her to such an extent?!

Henry now had risen from his chair and his foot was still in acute pain.

Nova really exerted herself to stomp him!

Suppressing his anger, Henry backtracked to find Nova.

Nova now was stuck staying where she was before. She would never do that if she had known this

would happen.

She could barely stand on her feet at present!

Unbelievable! Such a pair of expensive shoes were of badly poor quality. Who would believe that her

heel broke merely after she trod on Henry’s foot!!

She could not walk with a broken sky–high heel at all.

Even worse, she had no phone to call for help for she didn’t bring her bag with her since she left it on the

seat when she was busy comforting grandma.

She was in an isolated corner that was out of the range of the monitor, so there was the

slightest chance to be discovered. She could only count on herself.

But…the lawn here had many bugs in it, which were her worst fears! She was too scared to take her

shoes off and walk on the lawn overflowing with bugs!
