The Contract Lover (Nina Morrison and Lucien Gray) novel Chapter 239

Lucien Gray’s eyes contract. His eyes are as cold as the frost in a winter night. He stares at the big picture on the newspaper.

Jasmine Harris follows his eyes and sees the man and woman in the newspaper. She cries out with schadenfreude, “Aha, isn’t this Nina Morrison? And this man, the dean of the court in Albany? Emm...”

Nina Morrison grabs the newspaper from the desk. Yes, it’s a picture of her and Troy Roger. The spy camera finds an angle, which shoots the meet between old friends meet as lovers’ secret tryst.

Suddenly feeling guilty, Nina Morrison looks up at Lucien Gray instinctively.

Lucien Gray’s eyes narrow tightly. He stares at her. The mood under his eyes can’t be recognized.

“Troy and I...” Nina Morrison tries to explain instinctively, but she pauses when she catches Jasmine Harris’s contemptuous face.

What position does she have to explain? His real girlfriend is standing in front of him. Why does she have to explain to him?

Moreover, there is no sign of anger or jealousy on his face. He is so calm that he doesn't mind the “flirtation” between Troy Roger and her.

A dull pain rushes over Nina Morrison’s heart.

Jasmine Harris has been watching Lucien Gray’s expression. She is relieved to see that there is nothing unusual on his face. Seeing Nina Morrison explains, she smiles sarcastically, “Nina Morrison, are you so eager to be married? Dean Williams is married. His child is four or five years old. And his wife is the mayor’s daughter. It is impossible for you to become Mrs. Williams!”

Nina Morrison straightens her back and looks straight into Jasmine Harris’s eyes. “Mrs. Williams? Eager to be married? If I am eager to be marries, I would have got married five years ago, and it would not have been your turn to be engaged!”

Five years ago, Lucien Gray proposed to her when she left.

If she had said yes, there would be nothing to do with Jasmine Harris. Nina Morrison doesn’t just blurt it out, she is betting that Lucien Gray’s love to her is true, betting that Lucien Gray wouldn’t bully and humiliate her together with Jasmine Harris.

Hearing Nina Morrison’s words, Jasmine Harris’s face turns pale, “What do you mean, Nina Morrison?”

What does her engagement have to do with her marriage? Did she and Lucien Gray almost get married five years ago?

Nina Morrison smiles slightly, “I mean, it's better to be virtuous. Respect for others is respect for yourself.”

Jasmine Harris turns to Lucien Gray, “Lucien, what does she mean? Five years ago, you almost married her, didn't you?”

Lucien Gray looks down at Jasmine Harris. His eyes are tender. He puts his arm around her waist, “That’s impossible. Why would I marry a slutty woman like her?”

He drops the words, without even looking at Nina Morrison, and holds Jasmine Harris to walk away.
