Chapter 69 Unyielding Stubbornness
Nina Morrison hides her confusion and raises her wrist to look at her watch. "Troy, I'm a little tired. I want to rest."
Troy Roger's eyes are filled with disappointment. It is like a sharp spear and instantly pierces Nina Morrison's disguise. She turns and opens her eyes vigorously. Open your eyes and tears won't come out so easily. Open your eyes and you can see the world better. A mistress can't have such a perfect man as Troy Roger. "Nina..." He holds Nina Morrison gently from behind. The hug is so light that she can hardly feel it. Nina Morrison bursts into tears after enduring a long time. Nina Morrison stretches out her trembling hands and moves Troy Roger' fingers around her waist. It seems that it is not a finger but a painful heart.
Nina Morrison tries to make her voice cold and stiff. "Troy, go back quickly. Miss Lewis must be waiting for you."
She tries her best to stop sobbing.
"Nina, I'm sorry. I thought I would never find you again so I got engaged to her. I'm sorry..." Troy Roger' voice is filled with guilt. He shouldn't lose hope so soon. He shouldn't compromise with his grandpa.
He has been looking for her for three years and he is reluctant to let her go. If he lets her go, he may have to wait another three years.
"Troy, don't do that..." Nina Morrison can no longer control her trembling voice.
Troy Roger, why don't you let go? Stop holding me. I'm not that strong in willpower. In a minute my disguise will all collapse.
Nina Morrison grips her lips tightly and blood oozes out of the corners of her lips. Only this painful pain can let her control her impulse to turn around and embrace him. She can't tell him that she has been missing him for three years...
Troy Roger holds Nina Morrison tightly as if she were the only thing he would not let go of in the world.
Nina Morrison bows her head to keep her tears from falling on his hands. But the light of the ring on his ring finger shakes his eyes.
The engagement ring represents vows and love. It is like a bright light which hurts Nina Morrison's eyes.
She is reluctant to part with him but she must control herself.
Troy Roger does not belong to her.
"Troy, I already have a boyfriend." Nina Morrison's voice seems very indifferent and calm. Only her trembling shoulders reveal her secret. Troy Roger is shocked and releases his hands. His voice suddenly becomes hoarse as if the fire of life had suddenly died out. "Sorry..." Nina Morrison gives a faint smile. "Never mind."
It really doesn't matter, Troy. You don't have to apologize. These three years have changed everything.
Nina Morrison is no longer the simple and lovely girl who was as white as a sheet of paper. She has too many secrets and embarrassment.
He has not been waiting for her, nor has she kept her integrity.
They don't owe each other.
Forget her, Troy Roger. That's fine.
Nina Morrison tries to squeeze a smile at Troy Roger. She feels depressed. The pain is something she has never experienced before. She seems to be weighed down by a huge stone.
Nina Morrison's cell phone is thrown on the sofa. Troy Roger walks over and dials a number on her cell phone.
"Nina, this is my most private cell phone number. No more than four people know this number. You must remember to call me."
Troy Roger presses the number carefully. Nina Morrison's eyes are blurred again. She looks greedily at him. She wants to remember every movement and every minute expression of him at the moment. This may be their last meeting.
They have different paths. All feasts must come to an end.
At the last second when the door is closing, Troy Roger whispers, "Is he kind to you?"
Nina Morrison finds herself unable to answer his question.
Is Lucien Gray kind to her? He is so overbearing that he turns her into a disgraceful mistress. He is violent and cold and she is often scarred by him.
Is he not kind to her? She had a fever and he accompanied her all night. She is pregnant with other's child and he does not force her to abort.
Is Lucien Gray kind to her?
But now she shouldn't think about it. Now she has to chase Troy Roger away. He's been here too long and if Lucien Gray comes back and sees him, it's another big problem.
She doesn't want Lucien Gray to see Troy Roger. At the same time, she does not want Troy to know that she is his mistress. She is not as pure as she was three years ago.
Nina Morrison looks at him with a sweet smile. Her voice is light and happy. "He's very kind to me!"
Troy Roger has a genuine smile on his pale face. He reaches out and touches Nina Morrison's hair. "Nina, you look happy. I'm relieved."
Three years ago, the little girl smiled sweetly at him. "Troy, you are so kind to me!"
Nowadays, she is treated well by others. But that's OK. Nina is happy. Nina's happiness is his greatest happiness.
Troy Roger smiles again. It's time to leave.
He reaches out and holds Nina Morrison's cold little hands. His gentle eyes hide all his reluctance to say goodbye to Nina Morrison. "Nina, goodbye."
Nina Morrison stares quietly at Troy Roger. She says in a calm voice. "Bye, Troy."
The door closes slowly. When Troy Roger finally disappears, Nina Morrison bursts into tears. She collapses down as if all her strength was overdrawn. She is too weak to stand still. Her meeting with Troy is painful.
She spends all her strength to hold back her tears and hug him tightly.
She clasps her arms in both hands and cries silently.
The mobile phone suddenly rings.
Nina Morrison wipes her tears and answers the phone.
"Hello! Is this Miss Nina Morrison?" On the other end of the phone, a nice male voice asks.
"Oh, I am. Who are you, please?"
"Miss Morrison, I'm Peter Johnson, Lucien's friend. Can you come to Night Bar? Lucien is drunk. If you don't come here, my bar will be ruined by him."
"Do I have to go there? Shall I ask the driver to pick him up?" Nina Morrison is very depressed. At the moment, she just wants to take a hot bath and go to bed and have a good sleep.
"He's been calling your name. I looked through his cell phone to find your phone number. Miss Morrison, please help me."
Peter Johnson is also curious about the cool female voice. What kind of girl is she? She even makes President Gray come to his bar to get drunk.
Lucien Gray is a good drinker and has always been a moderate drinker. Peter Johnson sees him drunk for the first time after they have known each other for so many years. This girl is very important to Lucien Gray.
Peter Johnson is curious about Nina Morrison.
Nina Morrison washes her face and combs her hair. She looks at her swollen eyes in the mirror, dawdling and not wanting to go out.
Now she's really not in the mood to pick up Lucien Gray.
Maybe meeting Troy Roger makes her feel a little guilty. It seems that she has done something bad to Lucien Gray.
When Nina Morrison appears in front of Peter Johnson, he finally knows why Lucien Gray still calls Nina Morrison when he is drunk.
The girl in front of him is not a perfect beauty. She's petite and her big clothes don't show her figure. But she has a pair of unforgettable eyes on her fair and beautiful face.
Her eyes are like young lions. Although it is naive and does not know its strength, it has the stubbornness of never giving in.
Only such a woman can compete with Lucien Gray. He thinks Lucien Gray only likes big-breasted women. Now it seems that his taste is not so vulgar. Peter Johnson smiles and opens the door for Nina Morrison.
On the broad velvet sofa, Lucien Gray's shirt collar is open at random. His thick eyebrows are wrinkled tightly and his eyes seem to be closed. He is holding a bottle that is half empty.
Nina Morrison walks over and pokes her finger in his face. "Hey, drunkard, go home!" Lucien Gray used to poke her face. Now Nina Morrison is a little happy.
You used to bully me, today I will give it back to you!
Lucien Gray opens his dim eyes and sees the figure in front of him. He doesn't seem to believe it and squints to see clearly.
Peter Johnson comes up and pulls Lucien Gray up. "Nina Morrison is here. Come back. Don't mess up."
Lucien Gray sees Nina Morrison. He hugs her in his arms.00000☐☐☐☐☐☐
