President's Contract Wife novel Chapter 17

Sensing something, Lucien Gray turns to look at the little girl next to him.

Her eyes are closed tightly and her pale little face is with a painful despair. Snow-white teeth firmly bite the pink lips, almost to ooze blood.

What is going on? Why is her face so sad? Lucien released a palm and pokes Nina's pale face with his index finger.

“What are you doing? It hurts!” Nina is brutally stabbed by Lucien Gray and screams. As soon as her eyes opened, tears roll down her cheeks.

Nina flusters away her tears. She does not want to be seen by the man next to her about her sadness.

Lucien frowns his thick eyebrows and says, “What are you crying about?”

“None of your business!” Nina wipes away her tears, turns her head to the right and pretends to focus on the view outside the window.

Troy is the deepest secret of her heart and she would not share it with anyone.

It is the red light. Lucien Gray reaches out with a palm. Nina's jaw is clenched and her head is crudely turned to Lucien's side.

A pair of deep black eyes focuses on her still some red ones.

“Tell me, what are you crying about?”

“I am crying for my bad luck, meeting someone so unreasonable like you! I am sad about my own destiny!” Nina sneers angrily. This violent maniac, who does he think he is!

Lucien is so angry with Nina that his big hands are about to add up strength. Then he sees Nina's wet face and suddenly his heart is softened.
