By the time Nina Morrison gets dressed after an exhausting shower, the man is already neatly dressed sitting on the couch in the living room.
He takes a cigarette between his fingertips, and the smoke makes his deep eyes as dim as night. He just looks at Nina Morrison fixedly.
Expressionlessly, Nina Morrison walks around him to the porch. She changes her shoes, picks up her bag and prepares to leave.
"What are you doing?" Lucien Gray's anger is rising again. Why can't this woman ever be tamed? From her, she totally ignores him!
Nina Morrison says in a cold tone, "Since you don't want to leave my home, I'll go."
She stresses the words "my home".
Lucien Gray puts out the cigarette butt and throws it into the trash can. With a few strides, he steps in front of Nina Morrison and pushes her against the door, "You promised to meet Nelson with me on Saturday! And now you want to stand me up!"
Nina Morrison looks up to him, the mist of tears slowly pour from the her big eye, "When I left five years ago, you said you'd never force me to do anything in my life again! I broke my word. What about you? Have you kept yours?You are more shameless than I am!"
Lucien Gray is stunned.
The words said five years ago are still lingering around the ears. Nina Morrison is right.
The room is full of the stifling silence.
It takes a long time for Lucien Gray to slow down his tone and say in a slightly bitter voice, "Do you really like Carroll Lauren?"
What on earth is this man talking about? Nina Morrison thinks his head must have gotten into water. "I don't like Carroll Lauren, but that doesn't mean I want to be controlled by you! Is there anyone in the world more tyrannical and selfish than you? Did I invite you to my house? Did I allow you to touch me? You don't have the right to judge my private life!"
What Nina Morrison said later Lucien Gray can't hear anymore. He repeats happily , "You really don't like Carroll Lauren? You have nothing to do with him?"
Nina Morrison closes her eyes in exhaustion. She really doesn't want to be obsessed with this problem anymore. If Lucien Gray is jealous of Carroll Lauren, he's stupid and really doesn't know her.
Lucien Gray's voice becomes more lower with a little bit of bitterness, "I thought you were going to be attracted to him. He...looks like your senior Andrew so much..."
Andrew. Lucien Gray also recognizes that Carroll Lauren looks like Andrew.
Nina Morrison's heart suddenly aches. Andrew...That has been a dream she can not go back to. For this life, it can only be the sweet, sentimental and astringent memory...
Seeing Nina Morrison's face suddenly turns pale, Lucien Gray realizes what she was thinking and squeezes her in his arms, "Nina Morrison! I forbid you to think of another man! When you're with me, you can only have me in your eyes!"
His voice is a little hoarse and aggrieved, with childish arbitrary.
Nina Morrison is still in his arms, not knowing what to do. Maybe Lucien Gray is really in love with her, but in a way that made her feel so heavy and hard to breathe...
After holding for a while, Nina Morrison doesn't resist, just accepts the hug tactfully. Lucien Gray's mood gradually turns good.
Lucien Gray looks down for her eyes, his voice is soft, "Nina, don't you want to see Nelso? I've told him that you and me, we together will take him to the playground today. He was so happy and he called me last night to ask..."
Nina Morrison is hesitated and her attitude looses down. Lucien Gray quickly took out his phone and found the latest photo sent by Nelson, "Look, this is Nelson playing the violin, isn't he great?"
In the photo, the little person was standing in the spotlight on the stage, and his shy smile was pale relieved against by the light. Instead of the joy for the performance, he looked nervous and afraid.
Nina Morrison's eyes become moist. The little boy seems to have a wonderful fate connected with her. When she sees him, her heart will be sour, painful and enriched.
Seeing Nina Morrison's face, Lucien Gray knows there would be a chance. He urges, "Nelson seems to remember you! I showed him your photo. He looked at it for a long time. Later, I put my phone on the sofa and went to the study to get something. He took up the phone and looked at your photo by him own. He seems to like you very much!"
What Lucien Gray said is truth. After seeing the photo of Nina Morrison, Nelson really looked at it for a long time.
Lucien Gray asked, "Nelson, do you like this aunt?"
He shook his head and ran away.
Sometimes Lucien Gray feels like he doesn't know his son at all. He has tried everything but just can't walk into his heart.
Nina Morrison's heart becomes soft. She sends several pictures of Nelson from Lucien Gray's phone to hers. Then she nods, "When will we leave?"
"Yeah!" Lucien Gray is so happy to hold Nina Morrison up and turns around for several circles.
Nina Morrison, who has been keeping a poker face, also couldn't help laughing, "Lucien Gray! You childish boy! Put me down!"
