Unexpectedly, this wench looks like a stubborn girl is so clever to get such a rich man.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Aunt Lauren, I just want to pack my things.&#8221; Nina Morrison heads down to her room. She hates Doris&#8217;s tone.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Grace, you are useless! You see, even Nina can catch rich people. You are prettier than her and you are better than her. Why can&#8217;t you get along with a rich man?&#8221; Doris says.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Who knows where she gets her luck from?&#8221; Grace touches her long hair. The money Lucien Gray gave her last time has been gambled all away by her. Or she will not come back to this slum house!   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Leaning obliquely against the door, Grace holds her hands to her chest and looks at Nina Morrison, who was packing, &#8220;Are you moving in to live with Lucien Gray?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Live with Lucien Gray&#8221; sounds harsh. Nina Morrison bites her lip, feeling a little sad.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   If it is possible, she would like to be like other ordinary girls, living a normal life. She would not like to be a secret mistress, being used and bullied all day long!   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   If possible, maybe she can see Troy again. Maybe she will marry him and have a beautiful baby, living a happy life rather than being despised like today!   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Seeing Nina Morrison not talking, Grace turns her eyes and comes up with an idea.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Nina, can I come and see you often?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Of course you can.&#8221; Nina Morrison is touched. She has not expected that Grace will still miss her.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The phone in the jeans pocket suddenly rings.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Hello? What&#8217;s the matter?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Nina Morrison, it is 15 minutes! Get out!&#8221; Lucien Gray&#8217;s voice contains anger.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;All right, I see. I&#8217;m coming out now.&#8221; Nina Morrison picks up her bag and walks out the door. Her clothes are few and her bag is not heavy.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Aunt Lauren, sister, I am leaving. I will come back to see you later.&#8221; Nina Morrison says goodbye to them. Looking at the shabby layout of the house, she suddenly feels a little sad.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Well, go! Do not make the president wait!&#8221; Doris hurries to push Nina Morrison toward the door. She does not want to offend the rich man out there. She may need their favor!   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   As she walks quickly to the car, Nina Morrison looks back at her low house and gets into the car with the bag.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Throw it away!&#8221; Lucien Gray drops a word and turns the steering wheel gracefully away from the damp, dark shantytown.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Throw it away? Throw what?&#8221; Nina Morrison does not understand.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Lucien Gray raises his eyebrows, grabs the bag from Nina Morrison and brushes it out the window!   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;What are you doing? There are my clothes in it!&#8221; Nina Morrison is furious! Why does this man always be so bossy and never care about what others think?   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;I will take you to buy some new.&#8221; Lucien Gray proudly says, &#8220;You are embarrassing me by wearing those clothes. My woman can&#8217;t be so shabby!&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;My woman&#8221;, for some reason, Nina Morrison suddenly feels a faint throb. She has been feeling lonely since her father was ill. Lucien Gray&#8217;s words give her the illusion that she can count on someone. Although, that person, just her sex lover, a gold lord.   <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Nina, is not that man out there rich?&#8221; Doris looks at Nina Morrison with her bright eyes.
