CHAPTER 80 INEVITABLE PROBLEM

Chapter 80 Inevitable Problem

"Nina, the meal is ready!" Andrew shouts happily. It has always been his dream to spend a day alone

with Nina. This dream has come true today.

Nina hurriedly dries her tears and goes to the dining room.

Andrew's smile disappears when he sees Nina. "What's the matter? Did you cry?" Nina's eyes are red.

He can see that she has just cried.

"Andrew, is that your painting?" Nina takes a breath and looks at Andrew's handsome face.

"Yes. Do you like it?" Andrew puts down his chopsticks and goes to Nina. He holds her shoulder and

looks down into her eyes and asks carefully.

Nina looks at Andrew and smiles. "I love it."

"Nina, I couldn't find you anywhere then. I was afraid I would never see you again. I was afraid I would

forget what you looked like. So I drew you. I can see your smile every time I get home as if you are

always with me."

"Has Abby ever been to this house?" Nina suddenly wants to ask him, but she doesn't. Today is the

only day and the last day for her and Andrew. They must have a good time.

A faint smile on Nina's face attracts Andrew. Nina is less naive and more charming. But no matter how

she changes, she is still so beautiful. Andrew is satisfied to see her.

"Come on, have a meal! Try these dishes!" Andrew leads Nina to the dinner table and carefully pulls a

chair for her.

He made four dishes and one soup. The color of stewed beef brisket with tomato is very beautiful. The

soup is full-bodied, which makes people want to taste it. The perch in steamed perch is fresh and fat,

and the sauce sends out light fragrance. The chicken in three cup chicken is glossy. There are some

fresh peppermint beside it. There are also scalded broccoli and creamy mushroom cream soup. These

dishes are Nina's favorite.

"Andrew, I remember you didn't cook before." Nina is astonished. He was born in a wealthy family and

never has to cook. But now he can cook such complicated dishes!

Andrew smiles sheepishly. "Nina, you said your boyfriend must be able to cook..."

Nina is so moved that her voice trembles. "So you learn how to cook?"

"Yes. I cut my hand when I started to learn how to cut vegetables." Andrew smiles at Nina. He seems to

be embarrassed by his clumsiness.

Nina looks at Andrew's left index finger. Sure enough, there is a faint scar there. She can hardly see it

without looking carefully.

"Andrew..." Nina wants to cry again.

Andrew reaches out and pats Nina on the head. "It's just a minor injury and it's healed long ago. Let's

eat."

The simple and elegant light color tablewares set off the table full of delicious food. Andrew scoops

Nina some cream mushroom soup. He measures the temperature outside the porcelain bowl with his

index finger. He smiles and hands the soup to Nina. "Nina, have some soup first." Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Nina takes a sip of soup and widens her eyes in surprise. Although the soup looks delicious, Nina didn't

expect it to be so delicious!

This soup is very refreshing. The freshness of the mushroom and the sweetness of the cream combine

well. The warm soup goes down her esophagus into her stomach and makes her very comfortable.

"It's delicious! Andrew, you're great!"

"I'm glad you like it." Andrew smiles at Nina. He reaches out his index finger to help Nina wipe the soup

off the corner of her mouth.

Nina looks down and suddenly feels a little uncomfortable. She suddenly thinks of Lucien. Lucien used

to wipe the soup off the corner of her mouth.

But Lucien's action was domineering and he would say sarcastically, "Nina, you look terrible when you

eat. Did you starve to death in your last life?"

Lucien's sarcasm makes Nina not think the act of wiping the corner of her mouth is gentle.

But Andrew's action is so natural and gentle. Nina realizes for the first time that this kind of action

should be between lovers.

She glances at Andrew's engagement ring on his ring finger. Her heart pounds. Nina bows her head to

drink the soup.

Andrew doesn't notice Nina's change. There is a dreamy smile on the corner of his lips. He looks at

Nina's beautiful face and says slowly, "Nina, this is my happiest day in three years."

Andrew, me too. It's also the happiest day I've had in three years. But Nina can only say that in her

heart. She's no longer qualified to say that to Andrew.

Andrew senses Nina's silence and his eyes get sad.

"Nina, don't you like being with me?"

"No. I just..." Nina suddenly doesn't know what to say.

A few barks of dogs come out of the door. Nina turns to look at Andrew in confusion.

Andrew is suddenly excited. He claps his hands and says, "Snowball, come on!"

A little white pug comes running. Nina can't help smiling at its lovely appearance.

"Snowball, she is Nina. Come on, say hello." Andrew picks up snowball and raises one of its chubby

front paws to greet Nina.

It's Snowball. Andrew just called Snowball and she didn't respond. It is the puppy Abby was looking for

in the hospital that day.

Nina's eyes get sad. Abby is its mommy and Andrew is its daddy.

It reminds Nina that Andrew is Abby's fiance. Nina has always been an outsider.

"Nina, you said that your biggest dream was to have a white dog in your adult memorial." Andrew's

gentle voice sounds a little depressed. "So I secretly raised Snowball and prepared it for you on your

18-year-old adult memorial. You just disappeared before that day. I couldn't find you anywhere."

Nina stares at Andrew in surprise. What? Snowball was bought by Andrew for her?

She remembers that day in the hospital, Abby said Andrew liked Snowball very much. It turns out

Andrew cares so much about Snowball because it's a gift he prepared for her.

Nina's heart is like being pinched with a big hand. She is too sad to breathe. She bursts out crying.

Nina's mood finally gets out of control. She cries, "Why are you so nice to me? You know we can't be

together! You have Abby! You're her fiance and you're getting married!"

Andrew looks at Nina who is crying. He stands up and walks to her side, drawing her tearful little face

up. He says firmly, "Nina, I can break up with Abby. I can do anything as long as you are happy."

"No!" Nina shouts in a hoarse voice. She knows Andrew just started his career. He just arrived in City

C. If Mayor Lewis can help him, his career will develop greatly.

And she can't be with him. Lucien won't let her go.

"Nina, honey, what do you want me to do?" Andrew's voice is a little helpless.

"I don't know. I don't know. Don't force me anymore..." Nina's voice is hoarse.

She never cried when she was bullied or despised while working. She didn't cry when she was forced

to be Lucien's mistress and tortured by him. But in front of Andrew, she seems to have shed all the

tears of her life.

"Well, I won't speak. Don't cry. I shouldn't have made you cry." Andrew comes over and gently hugs

Nina's shaking shoulders. He loves dearly her.

Snowball barks around them. Andrew picks up Snowball and puts it in front of Nina. "Nina, if you cry

any more, Snowball will laugh at you!"

Nina opens her eyes to see Snowball looking at her with its downy head askew. It blinks curiously. It's

cute and Nina laughs.

Andrew is relieved to see Nina laugh. Nina takes Snowball from Andrew and holds it in her arms. She

pokes her finger into its little face. "Snowball, you dare to laugh at me. I pinch your face!"

With that, Nina stops. Lucien's favorite action is to poke someone else's face with his hand. He likes to

poke Nina in the face and say something threatening or ironic.

Nina suddenly finds out that her actions and tone are very similar to Lucien!

She bites her lips with some chagrin. Why does she think of that great devil? She's with Andrew and

lovely Snowball right now. Why does she think of that damned man!

But Nina has to admit that Lucien is a problem she can't avoid.

She's been gone for so long without any reason. Lucien must be looking for her everywhere. Thinking

of it, Nina laughs at herself. Lucien is probably looking for her because his private property is lost. He is

unhappy because she dares to challenge his authority and disappears and is kidnapped without his

approval.

What will Lucien do if he knows she is with Andrew? Nina suddenly shivers.
