Hate To Love You My Billionaire Lover

When Arianna was walking and thinking, the boy, who was pushing Vince’s wheelchair, came over to her and smiled, “Master Johnson said a young lady like you should not walk along under the grape trellis.”

Seeing her revealing a little doubtful expression, the boy explained, “In case there is any snake that climbs up the grapevines and moves atop…”

Arianna had to say, with her voice trembling, “Thank you.”

The young boy ran back to his Master. Arianna looked up and saw Vince looking at her, his face unrecognizable and covered with sunlight.

In the afternoon, Arianna came out for a walk again. She avoided the grape trellis this time. She walked along a green road seeing the scenery around her, and moved further and further. When she was tired, she could not see York Lee’s house anymore.

Fortunately, this time she remembered the direction of going home. Just her calves were tired, her heels painful, and she had stumbled.

A car suddenly pulled over beside her and scared her. In the cab, behind the wheel, it was Vince. He was driving a white sports car.

“May I have the honor to give you a ride, Miss Jenkins?” Vince was sincere, but a touch of ridiculing smile flashed in his eyes. Arianna was more certain this man was not Travis Cooper. So, she said thanks and got in the car.

Vince drove slowly and did not speak while driving.

Arianna tried to suppress her curiosity to look at his feet.

However, when he stopped at the door of York Lee’s house, he didn’t get off and opened the car door for her like a gentleman. He just helped untie her seat belt.

Arianna didn’t invite him to come inside the house. She just took a bow at him. Vince waved his hand as a response.

When Vince was about to leave, York and Irene showed up hurriedly in front of them.

Irene said, “Oh my… young Master, you should not be driving, and you didn’t even take your phone! Your men have come to us, and they said the old lady is about to kill people to find you!”

Vince just smiled as if he wanted this. York blocked his car to prevent him from driving. York frowned and said, “Please behave, Master Johnson.”

In the end, York helped drive the car and Vince back.

Soon Claire’s birthday approached. She received a lot of gifts. Arianna gave her a white dress that made Claire look like Snow Johnson. Claire loved the dress and put it on early that day. She looked more elegant in that dress. And Claire looked more and more like Arianna when they stood together now.

In the afternoon, when servants were busy preparing for the evening birthday party for Claire, the young boy who was always with Vince came holding one small box and one big box, and he said, “This small box is the birthday present from Master Johnson to Miss Lee. In the big box is the dessert from Master Johnson to Mrs. Lee and Miss…. Jenkins.”

They opened the gift boxes. The gift to Claire was a clear and bright jade bracelet, which was excellent in color. Claire put the bracelet on her wrist and smiled, and said to Arianna, “This bracelet is a perfect match with the dress and earrings you gave me. I think something is going on between you two!”

Arianna could not say anything.

Claire helped open the big box. The dessert in the big box was refined like a craft, in the shape of a white lotus flower mixed with a little yellow at the center. This lotus flower-shaped dessert was placed in a green box, revealing a refreshing scent.

The boy explained, “This morning, the kitchen was making the dessert. Young Master Johnson said the lotus blossoms were good this year, so he let the cook smash some lotus flowers as ingredients in the desert.

“Lotus flower? From the lotus pond in the rear garden of the main mansion?” Irene asked.

“Yeah. The young Master said the water there is clean. He let us harvest more than half of the lotus blossoms today.”

After the boy left, Irene said, “So, that’s the reason he was staring at the lotus flowers that day! He was going to reap them.”

Claire remembered the other day Vince had his servants cut off the blossoms of a name-brand orchid, and she said, “Wow, Master Johnson never hesitates when flowers are ripe.” And then Claire looked at Arianna with a weird smile.

Claire went upstairs to dress up, and she made a call to Master Johnson.

A few minutes later, Claire rushed downstairs, excitedly saying that Master Johnson had agreed to come to celebrate her birthday!

Soon the Lee Family members were getting busier.

At Claire’s birthday dinner, Arianna would be sitting on the opposite side of Vince. She could not avoid looking at him now.

The birthday party was just a simple and exquisite family feast. Somehow, Arianna felt something was wrong when she heard a “prestige” guest was coming to this small family feast. But then again, when she thought this family had known Vince for more than twenty years, she realized she was the strange one at this feast.

Previously in the afternoon, Irene told Arianna about the past of Vince and York. She said that twenty years ago, the financially broke York encountered a car accident in a sparsely populated mountain area. The deformed car rushed down the bridge and fell down into the water. York jumped into the cold winter water to rescue any survivors. The adult in the car was dead. The little boy survived in York’s arms but grew up with serious mental issues because he witnessed his father’s death.From NôvelDrama.Org.

Later the boy would not let anyone else close to him except York. Hence York was hired by the family as the driver, bodyguard, and male nanny to the boy until the boy reached eighteen years old. Then they all moved into this manor. Therefore, Vince was brought up with York as his guardian, which made him like York’s son. And Vince even played the role of a matchmaker between York and Irene.

Irene added, “Master Johnson woke up from a coma a few months ago. He couldn’t remember anything and anyone except your biological father… York, and Rebecca. He only had a vague impression about these two people by then.”

“Who is Rebecca?”

“His female assistant, a childhood companion, and maybe his girlfriend.”

Now all the party members were seated well. When Arianna was going through what Irene told her, she was caught by Vince’s gaze from the other side of the dining table. Arianna lowered her eyes.

This Vince was still looking like Travis Cooper, which made Arianna upset. But when Vince’s way of smiling and his manner of holding the forks looked clearly distinct from Travis, Arianna was also equally upset.

Strange and familiar.

Then Arianna added in her mind: In fact, I’m not familiar enough with that guy. Perhaps because of Vince’s memory loss, the topic on the table was a little cautious, trying to focus on the present situation.

York tried to fix the topic on this year’s grape harvest and predictable wine quality. York said, “This year’s climate is a bit unusual. Although it is not a good thing for the farmers, for us, we might be able to produce excellent noble wine. I have already marked the area in the vineyard for them to prepare. The climate conditions here are not perfect. There are risks, but we might succeed.”
