The Contract Lover (Nina Morrison and Lucien Gray) novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56 A Dreary Sob

Nina Morrison sets the table and goes to the study room to ask Lucien Gray for dinner.

Lucien Gray is talking to someone on video. It seems that he is in a bad mood. Nina Morrison looks at him. There is a middle-aged graceful man on the computer screen. Lucien Gray sees Nina Morrison come in and turns off the video call. He stares gloomily at Nina Morrison. "Who allowed you in?"

Nina Morrison says, "I just knocked at the door. You didn't answer me. I thought you agreed to let me in."

Lucien Gray looks at Nina Morrison's long wet hair. "Is the swimming pool cleaned?"

Nina Morrison thinks she's unlucky.

"Not yet. But I'll clean it as soon as possible after dinner."

Lucien Gray snorts coldly and stands up and goes downstairs with Nina Morrison.

Nina Morrison breathes a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Lucien Gray doesn't get angry. She looks at Lucien Gray's gloomy face and decides to speak as little as possible. The more she talks, the more mistakes she makes.

Just as she sits down at the table, Nina Morrison's belly makes a loud noise. Lucien Gray looks sideways. She does not know whether he despises or mocks. Nina Morrison blushes with embarrassment. "Baby, I know you're hungry but don't shout so loudly!" Nina Morrison blames the baby.

Lucien Gray picks up the spoon and begins to ladle the soup. Nina Morrison hurries to eat. This is the meal she longs for a long time.

Mapo Beancurd is delicious. Boiled fish is delicious. Dried chicken is delicious, too! Nina Morrison is so absorbed in her meal.

Nina Morrison is almost full. She slows down and looks up. The dishes in front of Lucien Gray are clean. It seems that he has eaten nothing except clam soup.
