Can't Resist the Billionaire novel Chapter 51

After the car was pulled over, I got out of the car with Duke and went to inspect the villa. It was a duplex villa with fine decoration, which looked very luxurious. It seemed that Duke wasn't lying. He had planned to live in it, otherwise, the villa wouldn't be so luxuriously decorated.

Due to my injured leg, I didn't feel very comfortable when going up and downstairs, so Duke supported me gentlemanly. I glanced through the house, which was indeed wonderful. It was even like a dream for me to live in such a place.

When the inspection was almost done, Duke said, "This is just one of my villas. If you're not so into it, I can take you to check out other ones!"

I quickly said, "No, thank you. It's very nice here. I like it very much!"

Then I continued, "You planned to live in this house yourself, didn't you? You have even bought your bed as I can see. Why are you willing to sell it to us?"

A strange light flashed in Duke's eyes, and he said calmly, "Vincent and I are good friends, and he is in a hurry to get a house. That's why I gave up my love!"

His enthusiasm, however, made me feel a little embarrassed. My fear of him gradually disappeared through our interaction today. His constant gentlemanly behaviour made me feel less dismissive as well. I even felt that he was a little more approachable.

"You're a nice person, Mr. Murphy. It is our honour to know you!" I said modestly.

I didn't know why, but every time I praised Duke, he seemed very happy. This time I just gave a polite response, and he laughed happily. "You are nice and sweet too. Vincent always told me you were not good at talking, but I don't think you are that bad!"

I scratched my head sheepishly and smiled awkwardly. "I am flattered. I'm indeed not very social, or I will not let you see I was afraid of you!"

My words embarrassed both of us. Duke looked up at the sky and said. "It's almost noon. How about I treat you a meal?"

"No, it's okay. I still have something to do later!"

I did have something to do, as I want to pack my things at home when Vincent wasn't with me right now.

Since I had already decided to divorce Christopher, I should take my luggage away from his apartment as soon as possible. 

Duke said flatly, "Well, then I'll treat you next time!"

After that, he ordered the driver next to him. "You send Jasmine back to the hotel first, and I'll leave later!"

There were a few maids cleaning in this villa right now, so it was no problem for Duke to stay here for the time being. But I didn't think it was appropriate, so I quickly said, "No, no, I'll get a taxi myself!"

Duke said very seriously, "This is the mansion area, which is hard to get a taxi. If you really feel sorry, I can go back with you. Otherwise, how could I explain this to Vincent?"
