Hate To Love You My Billionaire Lover

The atmosphere was awkward and boring. Arianna wanted to disappear as soon as possible. She stood up in a hurry but lost her balance and almost fell. Vince immediately stood up and helped hold her body steady, but his feet were still not strong enough, so the two of them fell down on the chair Vince was sitting in a second ago. Arianna fell into Vince’s arms and heard a low grunt from him. She probably hurt his injured leg.

Arianna climbed up from him hurriedly, wanted to apologize and explain, but saw Vince staring at the doorway indifferently. Arianna looked at the doorway, and there stood Lady Johnson with a calm face and Rebecca with a complicated expression.

Rebecca said, “Sorry for interrupting.”

The old lady said, “You guys just continue.”

Vince didn’t say anything, and Arianna went back to York’s house upset and claimed that she was ill.

In the evening, Lady Johnson sent someone to “visit the patient” and gave her a box of snacks. Vince sent someone to give her a pot of night-blooming cereus.

“It will bloom in an hour and will not disturb Lady Jenkins.” The maid who sent the flower explained.

The night-blooming cereus bloomed on time in an hour. The flowers were complex and enchanting, the color’s pure and quiet, and the rich floral fragrance spread to every corner of the room. It’s just that gorgeous blooming lasted only a moment. After a quarter of an hour, the petals closed, and the flowers were gone.

“Young Master Vince seems to be chasing you,” Claire said.

“Don’t talk nonsense.” Arianna replied, “He got a girlfriend already.”

“You mean Rebecca? Actually, she is from the past.”

Because of that, when Arianna went to the main mansion again, her mood was even worse. That day, when Arianna was having a hard time with the old lady again, Vince came to his grandma to ask for outdoor sightseeing.

Lady Johnson said, “Today, you should go to the charity auction in Lester’s house on behalf of me.”

“I don’t have a female companion. Rebecca just left. She went out to do something for me.”

“Let Arianna go with you.” Lady Johnson hadn’t asked for Arianna’s permission first.

“My clothes and my hair are not ready.” Arianna objected instinctively.

“I think you look nice. Let Vince accompany you to buy a new dress.” Vince and Lady Johnson said at the same time.

Later, Arianna followed Vince. She had enough accompanying the old lady.

The car stopped in front of a gorgeous door. She thought she had arrived at the destination, so she got off with Vince but found that it was a clothing store, so they had a small dispute.

“You said that I look good already.”

“But you said your clothes and your hair were not ready.”

“Now feel ready.”

Arianna found a rule. No matter what they were talking about, they could easily fall into an infinite loop. She guessed he would say, “But now I don’t think you are ready.”

In fact, Vince said, “I think you may get better.”

She obeyed his wish and changed into another dress, and he helped her walk out of the store. When they were walking down the steps, Arianna stumbled, and her shoelaces were opened. Before Arianna wanted to bend and tie her shoelaces, Vince had already squatted down to tie her shoelaces.

“You will let others misunderstand,” Arianna whispered with dissatisfaction.

“What misunderstanding?” Vince asked strangely.

“Your relationship with me!” Arianna raised her voice.

Vince was silent for a moment, “Have you misunderstood?”

They had walked to the side of the car, and the driver had already opened the door. Arianna said before getting in the car, “I won’t misunderstand.”

When the car moved for a long distance, Vince spoke in Country Z language and said, “Do you always reject goodwill and pursuit from others?”

Arianna was stunned. She had studied in a college in Country Z before. The language of Country Z was minor and not popular in the world. She didn’t expect Vince to be able to speak that language. Clearly, he didn’t want the driver to hear what they were talking about. And Vince seemed to know her a lot.

“We have just met a few times. How much do you know about me? Where did your goodwill for me come from?”

“Don’t you believe that there is love at first sight in this world?”

The car arrived at its destination on time. Vince got out of the car and opened the door for her. He reached out a hand to help her out of the car. Arianna got out of the car by herself and wanted to move forward and ignore him.

Vince took her wrist. Arianna tried to break free but failed. She said to him madly. “I don’t want to play this boring game with you!”

Vince grabbed her slender wrist and dragged her all the way to the charity auction venue. The auction hadn’t started yet. From time to time, someone came forward to say hello to Vince. Vince always greeted them back with a very low-temperature but polite smile.

He whispered to Arianna, “Stop making trouble here; otherwise, they will really misunderstand us.”

****

The auction was very small, and the goods were simple, mainly provided by the children of the orphanage. There were watercolor paintings, clay sculptures, and homemade rag dolls. Vince bought a few ordinary paintings with handsome money. He said, “Miss Jenkins, please smile. If you keep looking like that, they will misunderstand that you are one of the artworks to be auctioned.”

Arianna squeezed a smile, “You are so funny.”

“Well, it’s better you don’t smile,” Vince turned his eyes back to the auction.

The host was showing a chain with an ordinary small stone as a pendant, “This child cannot make beautiful pictures, nor can she make cute dolls, but this is her most beloved thing. Although this stone looks inconspicuous, it has been with her for ten years.”

Vince was focused on this round of auctions. The initial price of this stone was not high, but someone had been pushing up its price with Vince. When Vince won the auction, the price of the stone had become outrageous. The host asked Vince, “Why is this gentleman willing to pay such a high price?”

“I was touched by the dedication of this child. Not everyone has the courage to present their most beloved things to others, so I honor her love.” Vince paused and took a glance at his opponent, who made him pay tens of times the price, and said, “I think this gentleman must have a common desire with me.” The audience applauded him.
