novelxo Chapter 227 She Was Naive
Lucien Gray looks at her eyes playfully. "So you want to get back together with me?"
Jasmine Harris nods hastily. "Yes, Lucien, I can't live without you!"
Lucien Gray shrugs, "Show me your chip."
Jasmine Harris grits her teeth, "I will tell my dad to stop attacking you and there will be no competition with the Gray Family's real estate business!"
"Such an attractive offer." Lucien Gray smiles meaningfully.
Jasmine Harris's eyes light up. She holds Lucien Gray's hand. "Lucien, can you promise? Promise to get back with me?"
Lucien Gray smiles wickedly and holds her hand. "Why not? You have the best looking and an educated family. Besides, there is a golden hill behind you." While Lucien Gray behaves so utilitarian, Jasmine Harris doesn't feel any uncomfortable. Instead, she thinks Lucien Gray tells the truth.
Which man will really give up his business for a beauty?
The interests behind a beauty are more important than a beauty herself.
But she still has doubts. Jasmine Harris shakes Lucien Gray's hand pettily. "Lucien, what are you going to do with Nina Morrison? She's been plaguing you. I hate it!" Lucien Gray smiles. "Speaking of Nina Morrison, I have one more condition."
"What condition?" Asks Jasmine Harris eagerly.
"Within a month, tell your dad that he must leave Nina Morrison alone. Not a hair of her."
Jasmine Harris feels full of jealousy. "Why? Why you protect her when you promised to get back with me?"
Lucien Gray's eyes darken, "Because after a month, we will be engaged. Before the engagement, I don't want anything to go wrong."
"Engagement? Lucien, you say you are going to get engaged to me? Engaged in a month?"
Jasmine Harris's eyes are filled with ecstasy. Her voice trembles with excitement.
"Yes." Lucien Gray answers briefly.
He looks at Jasmine Harris and stands up, "I still have work to do in the office. I am leaving. You take a taxi."
Lucien Gray has always treated her this way. Not considerate. Jasmine Harris is used to it. She nods well-behaved, "Ok, Lucien, take good care of yourself."
In the apartment, Nina Morrison stands in front of the window, looking out at the blue sky and white clouds.
This imprisonment has been going on for nearly a week. She feels like a beast in a cage, with more and more anxiety and panic.
Has Lucien Gray met Jasmine Harris? Why doesn't he call me? Has he flinched?
Various nagging thoughts almost make her head exploded.
The cell phone on the sofa suddenly rings. Nina Morrison runs to answer the phone.
"Hi Nina, it's me." Jasmine Harris's voice is on the phone.
Nina Morrison is so disappointed. She nods slightly, "What's up?"
"Nina, Lucien and I are going to get engaged in a month, you must come to the engagement!" Jasmine Harris's voice is sweet and happy.
The engagement? Nina Morrison's body shakes violently as if it was hit hard. Her voice sounds dry and hoarse, "You say you're getting engaged to Lucien Gray?" "Yes! Lucien proposed to me today..."
Jasmine Harris is still talking, but Nina Morrison can't hear any words. All her consciousness is occupied by the word engagement.
Just a few weeks ago, he promised to marry her in three months.
Now his ex-girlfriend becomes the new girlfriend. He's going to marry Jasmine Harris in a month!
Between the interests and she, does Lucien Gray still choose the interests?
Nina Morrison hangs up Jasmine Harris and calls Lucien Gray.
This time, finally, it isn't the secretary.
When she hears Lucien Gray's voice, Nina Morrison bursts into tears.
"Lucien," she says, fighting back her tears and trying to sound normal, "Jasmine Harris calls me and says you two are going to get engaged. Is it true?"
"Yes. Jasmine and I are going to get engaged in a month. I'll send you an invitation then." Lucien Gray seems like another man. His voice is so distant and cold.
Nina Morrison finally chokes with sobs, "Lucien, why do you change so fast? Does Jasmine Harris threaten you with his father? Can't the Hannover branch sustain?" "Jasmine doesn't threaten me. I just think away. As for a man, career is more important." Lucien Gray sounds evil, "Nina, if you can't forget me, we can still be underground lovers. I don't think Jasmine would mind."
As if being poured by a pot of ice water, Nina Morrison is bitterly disappointed, "Lucien Gray, you are so shameless!" She almost screams, "let me go! I don't want to live in your house anymore, you make me sick!"
"Just open the door and go. I have commanded the housekeeper not to restrict your liberty." As soon as Lucien Gray finishes speaking lightly, he hangs up.
Nina Morrison listens to the busy beep on her phone, her heart almost breaks into powder.
How ridiculous! She thinks love could really conquer everything! She is so naive!
Just a test makes Lucien Gray show his true face!
In his heart, interests and power is more important and love is not worth mentioning!
Nina Morrison arrives alone, and leaves without anything, either.
There is no entrance guard. Nina Morrison opens the door and smiles sarcastically. She has been worried that Lucien Gray is holding her back. Don't be such self-sentimental! When she goes out of the elevator, the phone rings again. It's a strange number. Nina Morrison frowns as she tries to cut off, but she finally picks up.
"Auntie Morrison!" A childish voice comes on the other end of the phone. It is so sweet-sounding that makes her heart melting, "Guess who I am?"
Nina Morrison wants to laugh, but tears start to fall, "Nelson, is that you?"
Little Nelson chuckles. "It's me! Auntie Morrison is great! You guess it all at once!"
Nina Morrison's downcast mood is brightened by Nelson's laughter, "Sweetie, how do you know my number? Do you miss me?"
"My daddy told me! Auntie Morrison, I miss you so much! Will you come and play with me?" Nelson's childish voice makes Nina Morrison feel sweet melting.‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒
