Chapter 170 Put A Sock In Your Mouth!
How could you!
Her eyes smoldered with anger!!!
On the contrary, Baldwin looked at them readily.
As for Orville, his emotion swelled and subsided.
Witnessed by all the people present, Henry put Nova down on her previous seat.
He didn’t envision that when he straightened himself up, a sudden sense of loss took his heart.
And Nova, shy of meeting people’s looks of curiosity, hung her head to hide her blushes.
Henry caught a glimpse of Nova, who was burning with shyness, then his mouth quivered in the
suspicion of a smile.
But it disappeared quickly as Henry told the butler to do something and took his seat.

Her words sent Nova into fits of displeasure, but the latter didn’t respond to her with words.
Baldwin instantly rebuked Sian with a freezing look, “Don’t you see Nova’s heel was broken?”
Mabel didn’t notice that before for her attention was occupied by Nova and Henry’s affectionate contact.
And as soon as she heard Baldwin’s words, she moved her eyes to Nova’s shoes, the
heel on her right foot had been broken.
She then asked hurriedly in a worried voice, “Is something the matter with your shoes?”
Henry chuckled when Mabel asked.
What should she say? Nova hesitated before replying. “I broke it accidentally.”
Gnashing her teeth, Sian scolded Nova, “Nova, since you have divorce Henry, I think you’d better stay
away from Henry and never imagine winning him back!”
Henry frowned at his mother’s words but Nova promised squarely. “Don’t worry, it won’t happen!”
Hearing Nova’s promise, the frown on Henry’s face changed into a scowl.
Mabel sighed with resignation. “Come on, Nova, come to eat some food, you must be hungry.”
Mabel’s words brought Nova to her sense, and she nodded meekly. No one ever spoke and
people at this table all lapsed into awkward silence.
Orville was subduing his fury all the time, he had tried his best not to ruin Mable’s birthday party by
saying as less as possible.
But Lan…was still in a puzzlement. “Do you have any idea about what Henry is thinking?! He treated
Nova badly before but now he took her back by holding her in arms! What is he thinking?”
“Thinking wildly, Simon replied him eating.
“What do you mean? Bro, tell me more details about it!” Lan kept asking.
Simon gave him a brief answer. “Henry was a possessive man. That’s it.”
The puzzlement in Lan’s eyes seemed to clear a little bit. “So you mean Henry just doesn’t want

Nova to have contact with other men though she is no longer his wife? I don’t see him as
possessive, I think Henry likes Nova but without awareness of it himself!”
Simon smiled briefly. “Nobody would know except himself.”
Lan drank thoughtfully and suddenly an idea popped into his head, then he said to Simon with a smirk.
“I’m going to pry into it. You’ll see.”
Simon just glanced at him indifferently. “It will serve you right.”
“Put a sock in your mouth!”
While they were still drinking and jesting.
The butler who did Henry’s bidding came back.
With a shoebox in his hands, he walked toward Nova.
“Miss Bush, this is a pair of new shoes for you.” Said he with great respect.
“Thank you, Bates,” Nova said with sincere appreciation.
Bates coughed discreetly. “You’re welcome, but I just did what Mr. King told me to do.” He dared
not to claim the credit.
