What a joke! How could she be angry with his poor joke?
Nina Morrison feels disdainful in her heart, but the expression on her face is very sincere, “No, I just thought, you live a hard life.”
Lucien Gray doesn’t expect her to say that. He is surprised and leaned over to kiss her on the forehead. “Well, it wasn't that hard. I was teasing you on purpose.”
The soft thing in Nina Morrison's heart bounces back. She hurries to clear the table.
Lucien Gray feels satisfied and lie down on the couch on his own, “Nina Morrison, take your time. No hurry.”
Nina Morrison grinds her teeth together, feeling distressed. Why can’t you be tough and get rid of him?
Lucien Gray eats up all the dishes. Nina Morrison puts the empty dirty dishes in the sink. She puts on her gloves and starts washing.
Lucien Gray seems to be watching football in the living room, and Nina Morrison doesn't care.
She already has a plan. When she finished the washing, she would say that she was going out to do some shopping and that’s the time to get Lucien Gray out.
He must not stay in her house any longer!
After washing the bowls, cleaning the stove, wiping the kitchen counter, and sorting out of garbage, Nina Morrison takes off her gloves and walks out of the kitchen.
Lucien Gray is lying on the couch with the remote control in his hand, but his eyes are closed.
Shit! He's falling asleep!
Nina Morrison rushes over to check. Lucien Gray's eyes were closed, his long lashes hanging over his eyelids, his breathing was steady and he seemed to be asleep.
Nina Morrison pokes him in the face, “Hey! Get up! Aren't you going to the office to deal with your work?”
No reaction.
