When they arrives at the restaurant, there is already a waiter coming to take the seat for them. Lucien Gray reserves a quiet private room.
They goes in. When the waiter sees Nina Morrison holds a child in her arms, he carefully pushes a child bed for them.
Nina Morrison puts Nelson into the small bed softly. She afraid that Nelson will feel cold when he falls asleep, thus she takes her thin coat off to cover Nelson.
Lucien Gray takes a deep look at Nina Morrison and he feels soft in his heart.
A real mother may only could do like this.
Nina Morrison feels a little uncomfortable in the eyes of Lucien Gray. Nelson falls asleep, no one talk around her and Lucien Gray. It's a bit awkward to stay with Lucien Gray now.
"Nina, come back with me tonight!" Lucien Gray looks at her beautiful face and then blurts out.
Go back with him? In what capacity? Underground lover?
Nina Morrison raises her eyes, and there has light flashed in her eyes, "Lucien Gray, have you forgotten that you have a girlfriend? Don't you feel ashamed when you say that to me?"
Lucien Gray grabs Nina Morrison’s hand and then says: "Nina, I know that you like Nelson very much. I have a villa in the East District. You could move in and I will let Nelson accompany you every day, OK?"
He even takes his son to do business, and his aim is to let her commit to him, and let her to be his mistress!
How bad is this man!
Nina Morrison is disappointed to this man completely. She suddenly feels that she had become a complete joke.
Nina Morrison draws her hand out of his palm, and then she says without any emotion, "Lucien Gray, you really haven't changed at all after so many years. You are selfish, cold, disrespectful-you have never changed!"
Lucien Gray didn't expect that Nina Morrison would have such a strong rebound. He is stunned, "What's wrong with being my woman? I can give you everything in the world! Money, reputation, status, children, everything, I can give all of this to you! As long as you wait me patiently for a year, I even could give you the position! What else are you not satisfied with?"
Nina Morrison shakes her head, and her voice is as light as water: "I'm sorry, I don't want any of these."
What she wants is love, respect, and courage and persistence to keep going hand in hand.
