Can't Resist the Billionaire

Chapter 49 Duke Looked at Me in A Strange Way

Before I could explain, Vincent immediately bowed excitedly and kissed my lips. Compared to his

overbearing kiss before, he was more patient and gentle today. I couldn't help but be aroused by him.

My fingers involuntarily stretched to his back. I held the man tightly, half resisting and half mumbling

obediently. "What are you doing? Don't you know that my foot is injured?"

Vincent's movements were gentle, but he didn't allow me to resist. He swore and whispered in my ear,

"Jasmine, I swear that I will only have you in the future. If I break my oath, I will die in a bad way!"

"Don't say such scary words. I don't like them!"

"I don't know why he made such a poisonous vow, and I don't know if such a vow is meaningful to him.

But I really don't like listening. Perhaps compared with the dead, even if I am abandoned, it is better to

see this man who used to have close contact with me die in front of me."

Perhaps I'm an indecisive person. So even if I knew Christopher betrayed me and sold me, I still didn't

have that kind of decisive attitude towards him.

But maybe it was my personality and reaction, that finally made the other side think that he was good at

bullying, or they had no more feelings for him.

Vincent drove back to City B early in the morning. As soon as he left, Mr. Murphy called. Last night, in

order to make it convenient for me to contact Mr. Murphy, Vincent input his phone number into my

phone. Of course, before that, Vincent gave my phone number to Mr. Murphy.

When I saw the word Duke Murphy displayed on my phone, I knew that it was President Mr. Murphy. I

was a little afraid of him, so I waited for a while before answering it.

He had a good temper. He wasn’t angry because of my delay in answering the phone. His tone was as

polite as last night. "Is Miss Jasmine ready? Am I going to pick you up, or do you come down yourself?"

Even through the phone, I could feel his oppressive aura. I stuttered, "No, no need. I can go down by

myself. I don't need to bother you!"

Duke might have noticed the injury on my leg last night, so he asked with concern. "Is your foot okay?

Why don't I go upstairs?"

"Don't..." Before I finished my words, he had hung up decisively. It seemed that he was going to come

up.

I held the phone in a daze. Before I could think of how to get in touch with such a person, the doorbell

rang.

I knew that it was Duke. I looked up at the door and hesitated for a moment. Finally, I stood up and

opened the door.

I was indeed a little nervous, but since they had come to find me, I couldn't be too timid to open the

door. Just see a house, andwould only take half a day at most.

Besides, didn't Vincent say that he wasn't interested in women last night? So what was he afraid of?

Was I afraid that he would kill me if I said something wrong?

The moment I opened the door, I saw Duke 's resolute and mature face. For some reason, his heart

started to panic even more. "Mr. Murphy, you're here?"

Duke smiled faintly. Seeing that I was still standing foolishly at the door and had no intention of letting

him in. He said softly to me, "Are you going to go with me now, or are you going to let me in and wait

for you?"

"Oh, well, please come in first?"

Even if I was ready, I couldn't block him at the door and prevent him from coming in. This wasn’t the

way to treat a guest. When I realized it, I immediately turned around and made a "please" gesture to let

him in.

In fact, hotels were all the same and there was nothing to visit. Duke said that he wanted to come in to

alleviate the awkwardness. But in fact, he didn't know that I was afraid of him. Now that I was suddenly

about to be alone with him, I was so embarrassed that I didn't know where to put my feet.

After Duke came in, I was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do. I had to ask him. "Are you

drinking tea or coffee?"

Duke looked up at me meaningfully and suddenly asked me, "Are you very afraid of me?"

I quickly shook my head and denied. "No, I'm just not used to getting along with a big shot like you!"

Hearing this, Duke suddenly burst into laughter. He said to me humbly, "What kind of big shot am I? I

just a little money, not as horrible as you think!"

He might have tried to sound humble, but I knew the fact. S City was hardly a small city like my

family's. It was among first tiers and its economic ranking had even exceeded that of the big cities in B

City. The housing price here was unbelievably high. Anyone ordinary would feel proud to buy a small

house of 50 square meters in S City. Let along, Vincent had even claimed that more than half of the

houses in S City!

If he said that he just a little money, few people in the country were really rich. Vincent's family was so

rich, but he still talked to Duke politely and humbly. It could be seen that his snobbishness and status

could not be underestimated.

"I don't mean that. I just don't like socializing, so I don't know how to talk to you!" As I spoke, I brought a

cup of tea to Mr. Murphy Yue. I thought that at his age, he would like tea.

Duke looked down at the tea I poured and did not drink it. Instead, he stood up and said to me. "Miss

Miller does not seem to like to be social. But such a girl may be the kind of virtuous wife and good

mother. Vincent has a good taste! Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

After that, he went to the door and slightly leaned to one side, indicating me to go out with him. "Are

you ready? Go with me when you are ready? I have other things to deal with in the afternoon!"

He was very anxious that he urged me to leave, so I didn't dare to delay. I picked up the bag on the

table and rushed out. But my feet hadn't recovered yet, and I was a little nervous, so when I walked

past Mr. Murphy, I accidentally fell into his arms.

But fortunately, I reacted quickly. I reached out my hand and held on the wall behind him. So that I

leaned my body to one side and didn't actually touch him.

Duke looked down at my foot and said apologetically to me. "Your foot hasn't recovered yet? I help you

out?"

"No, no, I can walk!"
