The Contract Lover (Nina Morrison and Lucien Gray) novel Chapter 166

"One, two, three..." Lucien begins to count.

Nina blurts out, "Wait! What benefits do you want?"

Lucien complacently throws the proposal back to the table, with a demonic smile on his handsome face, "Dinner with me tonight."

Don't even think about it! Nina scolds fiercely in her heart, but she has to perfunctorily say, "I have to work overtime today. Won't we have a Saturday date? At that time... It's not too late to eat."

Listening to Nina's active mention of Saturday's date, Lucien is in a better mood.

His smile deepens a little, and there is a small flame burning in his eyes, "You're so lovely today, and you still remember our date on Saturday."

His tone is so intimate, as if there has never been five years' separation between them.

Everything returns to the starting point.

But this is not what Nina wants to see. Maybe she was really wrong to choose to go back home and return to this city.

Seeing Nina's drooping eyes, Lucien hooks his fingers at her, "Come here."

Nina becomes alert again, "What do you want to do?"

Lucien frowns impatiently, "Nina, can you not be like a hedgehog, and always stand up all the thorns? We haven't seen each other for five years. Can't I have a casual chat with you?"

Nina relaxes a little bit, "What do you want to say? You just go ahead, I'll listen."

Her words amuse him. Lucien raises his eyebrows and smiles. Just as he is about to speak something, his cell phone rings on the table.

Lucien looks at the screen and picks it up immediately.

"Ah... Nelson! Well, Dad's at work... OK, I will buy it for you after work... Daddy misses you too! Darling, listen to Paige well... Ah, kiss baby... Bye!"
