Lucien Gray looks at her eyes playfully. “So you want to get back together with me?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jasmine Harris nods hastily. “Yes, Lucien, I can’t live without you!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Lucien Gray shrugs, “Show me your chip.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
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!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Such an attractive offer.” Lucien Gray smiles meaningfully. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jasmine Harris’s eyes light up. She holds Lucien Gray’s hand. “Lucien, can you promise? Promise to get back with me?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
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.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
While Lucien Gray behaves so utilitarian, Jasmine Harris doesn’t feel any uncomfortable. Instead, she thinks Lucien Gray tells the truth. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Which man will really give up his business for a beauty? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The interests behind a beauty are more important than a beauty herself. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
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!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Lucien Gray smiles. “Speaking of Nina Morrison, I have one more condition.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What condition?” Asks Jasmine Harris eagerly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Within a month, tell your dad that he must leave Nina Morrison alone. Not a hair of her.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jasmine Harris feels full of jealousy. “Why? Why you protect her when you promised to get back with me?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Lucien Gray’s eyes darken, “Because after a month, we will be engaged. Before the engagement, I don’t want anything to go wrong.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Engagement? Lucien, you say you are going to get engaged to me? Engaged in a month?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jasmine Harris’s eyes are filled with ecstasy. Her voice trembles with excitement. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes.” Lucien Gray answers briefly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He looks at Jasmine Harris and stands up, “I still have work to do in the office. I am leaving. You take a taxi.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
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.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In the apartment, Nina Morrison stands in front of the window, looking out at the blue sky and white clouds. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Has Lucien Gray met Jasmine Harris? Why doesn’t he call me? Has he flinched? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Various nagging thoughts almost make her head exploded. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The cell phone on the sofa suddenly rings. Nina Morrison runs to answer the phone. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Hi Nina, it’s me.” Jasmine Harris’s voice is on the phone. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Nina Morrison is so disappointed. She nods slightly, “What’s up?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“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. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
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?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes! Lucien proposed to me today…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jasmine Harris is still talking, but Nina Morrison can’t hear any words. All her consciousness is occupied by the word engagement. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Just a few weeks ago, he promised to marry her in three months. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Now his ex-girlfriend becomes the new girlfriend. He’s going to marry Jasmine Harris in a month! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Between the interests and she, does Lucien Gray still choose the interests? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Nina Morrison hangs up Jasmine Harris and calls Lucien Gray. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This time, finally, it isn’t the secretary. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When she hears Lucien Gray’s voice, Nina Morrison bursts into tears. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“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?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“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. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
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?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“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.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
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!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“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. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Nina Morrison listens to the busy beep on her phone, her heart almost breaks into powder. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
How ridiculous! She thinks love could really conquer everything! She is so naive! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Just a test makes Lucien Gray show his true face! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In his heart, interests and power is more important and love is not worth mentioning! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Nina Morrison arrives alone, and leaves without anything, either. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
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! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“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?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Nina Morrison wants to laugh, but tears start to fall, “Nelson, is that you?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Little Nelson chuckles. “It’s me! Auntie Morrison is great! You guess it all at once!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Nina Morrison’s downcast mood is brightened by Nelson’s laughter, “Sweetie, how do you know my number? Do you miss me?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“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. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
