Hate To Love You My Billionaire Lover

Susan smirked again, “Wow, if you only asked something that simple, why didn’t you accept Travis? He can even do better according to your demand. Don’t you think he is way better than Charles in every aspect except family background? He is more handsome, richer, honest, and has a style of doing things. And you can even enjoy a better world with Travis because he has few family members. I think you have your double standard too.”

Arianna almost collapsed. Susan was saying those words as the wife of Travis Cooper. Arianna had to say, “I don’t understand you at all. He might be a good person, but he indirectly killed my parents and grandfather. He destroyed my whole world. And nothing would change this fact. I can forgive him and thank him for what he did for me, but I can never forget he is the one who caused all my misfortune. I just want peace of mind, and that’s what Charles can offer me. With Travis, I will always think of my dead family members and my youth that was destroyed by him too. I can’t do that to myself.”

Hearing that, Susan no longer put on a mocking face. She just murmured, “You are a fool. If you know what I’ve been through, you will understand nothing really matters in this world.”

Arianna really had a headache digesting Susan’s words. She turned around and left quickly.

It was dusk time. Arianna sat in the middle of the city square to watch the sunset. The city’s air quality had been poor, the sky gray and the sun like a duck egg yolk that was not fresh.

Arianna recalled the dusks she spent with her grandpa. Those sunsets were really splendid. In order not to let tears fall from her face, Arianna looked up into the sky. There was a kite in the orange-colored sky, stumbling like an infant, trying hard not to be grounded.

When her neck and eyes were sore, Arianna resumed looking forward and saw Charles standing in front of her, with a look as mild and indifferent as to when he first met her.

Charles said, “No matter what you think about the things I have done, I can only say that it is my way. Even if you are disappointed, I can’t change what’s been done. But I hope you understand that I like you, and I fall in love with you, which is absolutely true.”

Arianna stared at Charles.

Charles added, “I admit that I am jealous of that guy, especially when I knew you had been with him. But I know it has nothing to do with you. You are always the best and special to me. Please believe me.”

Arianna lowered her head. The sky did not go dark entirely, but there was no more shadow on the ground. Then she held his hand softly and was tightly held by him. She said, “I believe you.”

It was the end of the first and almost the last dispute between them.

Because a lot of things were clear now, they had to be more careful getting along with each other. Charles treated her more patiently and carefully, and she responded with gentle obedience. From the looks, they would absolutely make a perfect couple.

Sometimes Arianna would still feel uneasy. She would suddenly wake up in the middle of the night and become sleepless, wondering if she really got her ideal life with the ideal man?This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

The answer to the question was still a mess to her. In the chaotic thoughts, Arianna understood one thing: she just wished to live a normal life like a normal person, to get married, to miss someone during the daytime and be accompanied at night, then she would like to have a child, and she would compensate all her regrets by giving all she could to her child.

Charles could give her such a life. He was powerful and resourceful enough to shelter her and her child. He was handsome and smart, which meant their child would not be ugly and stupid. His family background would ensure their child would not be bullied in the future. What’s more, he seemed to be in love with her so deeply.

Arianna actually had no courage and strength to find another man as good as Charles. She was not young enough now.

After hearing Arianna’s innermost statement that day, Susan promised she would not harass Arianna again. And Susan disappeared from Arianna’s life.

Charles seemed to have stopped his move against Transcendent Jewels. Close to year-end, Arianna read the financial news and knew Travis had a good performance with his business.

Charles’s life was smooth too. He set the wedding date with her and was promoted in his work. Life was so peaceful, like from her perfect image.

Charles’s promotion brought choices at the same time. He got the opportunity to be transferred to a coastal city in the state to be in charge of a large project invested by the government. With this opportunity, Charles’s career became even smoother and brighter.

Charles hesitated for Arianna, and he asked if she would be willing to accompany him to that coastal city.

Arianna also hesitated for a long time.

When her grandfather passed away, and she became the only member of her family, she still never thought about leaving the city where she was born. She was familiar with the old streets and old houses here, onto which she had left footprints in the different phases of her youth. Although the city had been totally renovated, she still felt she belonged to this land when she went to the park with only a corner that was still familiar to her.

She was afraid that she would return to this city alone after leaving for many years. And she could no longer find anything familiar here. In that scenario, she would’ve lost everything.

After thinking for an hour, Arianna said to Charles, “I’m going with you.”

After she said that, she felt she truly found peace. She would no longer need to worry about anything because she was no longer lonely. And she finally truly accepted her choice.

Charles went to the coastal city first to arrange things. He would frequently travel between two cities for about three months. And when the spring came next year, Arianna would go to the coastal city to meet him. And they would get married first.

The last time Arianna met Susan was in a charity kindergarten where she had volunteered for a while. The children there were mostly orphans funded by the government. They had winter and summer vacations as well. Every Christmas, these children only asked for more candies.

Arianna would visit these children on every major holiday and bring beautiful picture books, stationery, and some toys to them. The faces of these children always changed because some were adopted, some went away for sickness, and there would always be younger children to join the kindergarten.
