Hate To Love You My Billionaire Lover

Arianna was speechless again.

The old lady continued, “I’m very curious about one thing. Someone has given you a legacy. You accepted it but donated the equivalent of assets to charity in his name. What is your relationship with this person? Secret lover?”

“Madam, about my personal business, do I have the right not to answer?”

“Of course. But are you not curious why my grandson looks exactly like that person?”

Arianna looked straight at her with a blank expression.

“I also heard that you fainted when you first saw the face of Vince. Is it for this reason?”

“Please respect my privacy.”

“I think, according to your personality, you must’ve come in the wish of knowing something from me, right? How about we exchange information? You tell me the information about the other boy. And I, in return, can tell you the past of Vince or anything else you want to know.”

“I don’t want to know the past of Mr. Johnson. I don’t want to tell you anything about Travis Cooper. He is no longer alive.”

“I know. ”

“If you are so interested in him, you may also go to the detective agency to investigate.”

“I can’t find anything, so I ask you.”

“Don’t you think that it is very uncivilized to force someone to recall the past of the deceased?”

“You don’t look too sad.”

When a man and a woman walked across the window, Arianna’s chest was filled with flames of emotion. Her education and temper were fighting.

Vince was walking with crutches, but his look was leisurely, and his movements full of ease. Rebecca was with him, both her expression and body in tension.

The ice on the cold face of old Lady Johnson was broken when they showed up.

The two spotted the old lady and Arianna. Rebecca took a bow to both of them on the other side of the window. Vince also bowed to the old lady and nodded slightly toward Arianna.

Arianna took a bow to them too.

Since Arianna guessed yesterday that this person might be the twin brother of Travis, there were more complicated meanings in her eyes when she looked at Vince. Vince liked to wear colorless clothes like Travis and had held her ankle like Travis. Especially when there were many people present, Vince’s polite and indifferent manner looked perfectly the same as Travis’s.

The old lady watched her grandson’s back as he walked away. There was some warmth and a little sensation in her eyes. Arianna had already moved her sight elsewhere.

“If the person you know… was my grandson,” The old lady stared at Arianna’s face, “Do you think that I am qualified to know something about him?” A touch of sadness appeared on the face of the old lady who had been arrogant all along.

Arianna’s heart jumped fiercely and almost rushed out of her throat. Did she just find the answer to her question? Arianna tried to stay calm and asked, “So, you know it already?”

The old lady was way too sophisticated than Arianna. Arianna made a decision that she wouldn’t accept another unhappy conversation with the old lady again that night. But Arianna went to the old lady after receiving her call again the next day.

****

There were exchange conditions between Arianna and Lady Johnson.

Sitting under the pergola in the back garden, looking at a bunch of roses, Arianna tried to recall, “His room, his clothes were all white and light yellow, no other colors. He didn’t like black, not even for furniture and appliances.”

“Vince is the same.” The old lady said.

“He didn’t eat spicily, rarely ate meat, mostly a vegetarian. He only drank white wine and champagne. I never saw him drink red wine.”

“Is it? Vince is also a vegetarian. He did not drink red wine for the past few years. Did he have any hobbies? Fishing? Riding? Speedboat? Golf?”

“I don’t know,” Arianna said honestly. Seeing the old lady a bit disappointed, she added, “He didn’t like to drive.”

“Oh? But Vince likes to drive. He participated in the racing team when he was a teenager.” The old lady was looking more disappointed.

Arianna heard Vince’s biography from Lady Johnson on this day. Vince’s father was patriotic but encountered turbulent years in the country. He did not have the opportunity to exert his ambitions and realize his dreams. Many years later, he came home with a baby, saying that the baby’s mom had perished. He died in an accident a few years later as a single. The old lady added, “Vince always believes his mother is still alive.”

Their conversation stopped when Vince and Rebecca showed up in the distant green shade. Vince recovered quickly. Only after one day, he had already thrown away his crutches, walking steadily. Rebecca walked side by side with him, her face full of care.

The space for conversation between Arianna and Lady Johnson was very limited. The old lady liked to refute and force others to agree with her opinions, while Arianna didn’t like to debate or agree with others easily. Arianna was only good at closing her mouth.

“Why don’t you ask, how do I know that the other child is also my grandson?”

“I thought you were reluctant to talk about that?”

“Now, I am willing to talk. Let’s exchange it. Tell me about how you got to know that child. I will tell you what you want to know.”

“But I don’t want to talk about it.”

“Do you know his wife? What kind of person is she?” Lady Johnson asked again.

Arianna pondered for a second and said, “Her personality is a little bit similar to you.” She thought that the old lady should like her conclusion.

“Well, it looks like you don’t like that woman very much.” The old lady declared.

Arianna shut up. She decided not to answer any more questions from the old lady today. But the old lady suddenly said nicely, “Hey dear, you stay here and greet the little ones for me. I’m going to make a call.”

Arianna recalled the last time she bid goodbye to Vince in an unpleasant manner, so she wanted to be nice, and she asked, “How is your leg?” But she soon noticed that it was nonsense. Vince walked into the room in a steady manner.

“I’m fine, thank you. How is your wound?”

“I’m okay,” Arianna answered. The “wound” was just a tiny little scratch.
