President's Contract Wife novel Chapter 180

Lucien Gray’s phone rings when he and Nina Morrison are about to leave.

Lucien Gray softened his voice, “Daddy’s here with Auntie Nina, baby. We’ll pick you up in a minute. No matter you want to go to the amusement park or the aquarium, that’s all right, you can go. Today, Daddy and Auntie Nina will accompany you all day.”

Nelson is immediately brightened up, “Daddy is it real? You can stay with me all day?”

Lucien Gray smiles, “It’s true. Daddy will keep my words this time.”

Nina Morrison glances at Lucien Gray, “keep my words this time”, how many times haven’t you kept your words? No wonder that Nelson didn’t believe.

Nina Morrison nods hurriedly, “Hello Nelson…”
