Hate To Love You My Billionaire Lover

“The reason I encountered such things is that I always met you. When you don’t show up, I don’t have bad luck.”

“You are shifting the blame.”

“I think we are the jinx to each other.”

“Arianna, would you like to gamble with me?”

“Uh?”

“Do you dare to be with me for the next few days? And let’s see if there’s any more bad luck?”

“Are you out of your mind? I’m a busy person.”

“You were busy sitting at the lake and spending an afternoon?”

“How did you know?”

“I was discussing business with someone in an inn on the other side of the lake.”

“Vince, this is boring.”

“Then let’s talk about business. Did you just say you want to thank me? I have a very important meeting tomorrow, and I need an interpreter. Can you help me?”

This request sounded reasonable. Arianna could not turn him down. After all, he helped her so much.

Vince’s business negotiations began in the afternoon of the second day. She spent half a morning getting familiar with their negotiation process and main content. She read a lot of terms and practiced them, and spent one hour making up for herself. The meeting was smooth, and the contract was signed easily.

There was a business party in the evening. Arianna was requested to play Vince’s girlfriend. She did a good job at that, bringing him food, dancing with him, listening to him chatting, and playing poker with others.

Before, she spent most of her time with him alone. Now, she saw various kinds of faces of him. He was cold and indifferent in negotiation, polite and educated in academic exchanges, and very focused when playing.

Arianna had planned to move to the next-door hotel. She felt living in the hotel opposite to Vince would interfere with her normal rest. But this evening, before she had time to implement the plan, she was sent to the 24-hour clinic next to the hotel by Vince because her stomach suddenly ached badly.

“Vince, I don’t want to play the gambling game with you. I want to go back to Country C as soon as possible. It’s dangerous with you around.” Arianna began to believe Vince would bring her bad luck even more.

“Your stomach is not very healthy, and you ate hot and cold foods at the same time, that’s the cause. As an educated woman, you need to be reasonable unless you really come across something that can’t be explained by science. Do you understand?”

Arianna was too painful to argue. But when she was lying in bed and being examined by a doctor, she was much better. The doctor asked her, “Have you ever had a similar medical history?”

Arianna’s most serious illness in the last two or three years was a uterine cyst. Arianna told the doctor truthfully and was arranged to do an ultrasound examination. The ultrasound doctor was a middle-aged woman. She was very careful and told Arianna there was nothing abnormal with the machine. And she even pointed at the machine screen and said, “Hey, this egg cell is mature. If you want children, these two days are the best timing.”

Arianna thanked her, claiming she was not married yet.

“Marriage is to live with a man, not for a child. I have two children, and their fathers never married me.”

“Will it be very hard for a person to raise children alone?”

“No. It brings happiness. They copy your genes and continue your life. It’s amazing.”

Arianna’s heart was hit by her words.

The doctor gave her the diagnosis, and the cause was the same as Vince said she was eating things in a careless manner. The doctor prescribed some medicine to her, saying she would be fine the next day.

On the second day, Vince, dressed neatly, knocked at Arianna’s door and asked if she was better. Arianna nodded. And he asked her if she would go out and be a guide for him. Arianna seemed to have forgotten about her words to him yesterday and before yesterday. She changed into her clothes and went out with him.

Together they saw the medieval castle and the church of the eighteenth century. Walking alone in the midst of the ancient buildings surrounded by green trees, the scenery was very beautiful.

“What did you like most when you were still in school?” Vince asked her.

“I often stayed in the dorm on weekends. I occasionally participated in volunteer activities, and I haven’t been to most of these places.”

“Atta girl.” Vince thought for a moment and said, “Can I go and see your college?”

They took the train to the famous women’s university, and Vince’s bodyguard followed them closely. They walked past the square and the boulevard she had walked before, stood in front of the dormitory where she lived and visited her former professor. They found Arianna’s graduation photo in the campus memorial hall. In the photo, the young girl looked confused about her future.

Arianna touched the old walls of the campus. After five or six years, this place hasn’t changed a bit. If it was a college in Country C, new buildings, new roads, and new trees must have shown up after all these years.

“Do you want to time-travel back to the past?”

“No, like the time to pass normally.”

Vince looked at her graduation photo again and said, “But I want to time-travel back and meet you at that time.”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“I was very thin at the time, very nervous, nothing good. You wouldn’t like the younger version.”

“You are still very thin and nervous now.”

When they took a train back, it was close to the evening. The two sat on the bench in the park, eating the most famous beef patties in the park, watching several children playing water games. Each of those children hid in a big ball floating in the water.

Vince saw Arianna’s expression and asked, “Do you want to play too?” Arianna shook her head. She was staring at a cute child till he got on the shore.

The child found Arianna’s gaze upon him and ran toward them directly, ignoring his mom, who was chasing him. Arianna opened her arms and wanted to catch him, but the child rushed to Vince’s lap and shouted, “Dad.” The two looked awkward.

The child’s mother rushed to them breathlessly, hugged the child, and said, “I’m sorry.” She then said the child had only seen his father in photos. Every time he saw a handsome man, he would call him “father.”

After the mother and the son left, Arianna handed Vince a piece of tissue, “You are covered in sweat. Were you scared?”

“That’s because of the sun.”

“You were very nervous just now. And that kid really looks a bit like you. Were you not worrying he was one of your romantic debts?”

“Impossible, the woman was not my type.”

“That’s true. She is so very different from Rebecca or Maggie.”

“Are you waging war against me?”

“But I was only telling the truth,” Arianna smirked.

Vince looked at her silently. After a while, he said with a dignified expression, “You don’t talk to me like this, don’t laugh at me like this, or I will misunderstand.”
