Hate To Love You My Billionaire Lover

She tried to recall the woman’s appearance, picturing a round face, plump figure with a free and easy manner. Some might have even considered her to be rude.

But now, the woman sitting in front of Arianna was hardly the one in her memory. This Susan looked thin and gaunt, with a pale face and weak temperament. Only her eyes were black and clear, still looking the same from Arianna’s memory.

“Please sit. I twisted my foot earlier today; otherwise, I would have picked you up myself.” Susan said nicely. She gestured to the chair opposite her as she spoke.

“What can I do for you, Mrs. Cooper?” Arianna was straightforward.

A bit of surprise flashed across Susan’s eyes. She said, “I am still Miss Harris for now. But you can call me Susan. So please sit down and accept my hospitality.”

Arianna was alerted by Susan’s polite attitude.

Travis Cooper also disliked it when the person he was trying to talk to was standing. They really seemed like a couple.

“Mrs. Cooper, what do you want from me?” Arianna sat in the chair opposite her, completely ignoring her name request. She didn’t want to waste any of her freedom associating with Travis’s fiancé.

Susan now smiled happily. The delicate sense of sickness disappeared from her face when she smiled. Susan asked someone behind her, “Look at her now. Doesn’t she seem like a younger version of Travis?”

Arianna discovered that there was someone else in the room. A middle-aged man in black was standing in the corner like an owl observing the night.

The man immediately gave a single nod in agreement.

Arianna suddenly felt like she was being watched like an animal in a zoo. She wanted to laugh, but she couldn’t. She took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket and asked, “Do you mind?”

But she lit the cigarette before she got the answer. It was not polite of Arianna, but she knew she needed to remain calm. She took a quick drag and asked Susan, “Would you like one too?”

“I quit smoking a long time ago.” Susan stared at the cigarette in Arianna’s hand with an expression of disapproval.

A memory of one of their encounters came to Arianna’s brain. Susan was covered in the smell of smoke, and the ground around her was littered with cigarette butts.

“Actually, I just returned from my travels last week. I was gone for six or seven years, and I really wanted to see some old faces when I came back. I mostly wanted to see if everyone was as unrecognizable as I am after all these years. But I could not find them easily.”

Arianna kept silent.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Susan took a sip of her coffee and said, “Your appearance is the same as before, but your personality seems to have changed a lot.”

“I have nothing to do with Mr. Cooper anymore if that’s what you’re wondering.”

Susan smiled again, “I just want to see what you look like now. As for your relationship with him, I really don’t mind.”

Arianna smiled and put out her cigarette. She felt that the current situation was very funny.

“Mrs. Cooper, I should thank you again for your kindness to me many years ago. However, not everyone likes nostalgia, at least not me. Now that you have seen what I look like, can I leave?”

“You are not as cute as before.” Susan sighed in an elegant manner.

Arianna tried hard to keep the smile on her face. She was calm on the surface as she wondered if it would lead to more consequences if she walked away. But at this time, someone knocked on the door twice, and a man came in before whispering something to Susan.

Susan nodded, and a few seconds later, Ryan Cooper came in with an indifferent expression. He glanced at Arianna before walking close to Susan and greeting her respectfully. Ryan said, “Mr. Cooper is caught up in an unexpected meeting. He might be a few hours late.”

“He sent you to deliver this message to me? What happened to the phone?” Susan asked with an unpleasant attitude.

“Mr. Cooper was very worried when he heard about your foot, so he asked me to come to take you to the doctor. He already made an appointment.”

“With Dr. Wallace, I assume? He knows I hate that guy. Does he care about me at all? “She whined.

“Mr. Cooper asked me to remind you that though he is unpleasant, he is the best in the field. Please be sure to go.”

Susan sighed. Her eyes moved from Ryan to Arianna and then back to Ryan again.

He stood at the table with his eyes firmly looking forward.

“Excuse me, can I leave now?” Arianna asked politely. She had been ignored for a while now.

“Why not eat something before you go?” Susan offered.

“I am not hungry, thank you.” Arianna stood up.

“Then let me walk you out.” Susan also stood up with her hand pressing on the table. The man in black followed her but did not help her walk.

As Susan limped, Arianna wanted to say, ‘please stay,’ but she was already on her way.

“Are you sure you don’t want some soup?” Susan Harris offered as she walked around the table to Arianna.

Arianna stepped back immediately. She stared at the soup on the table with questioning eyes.

Susan smiled and drank the soup from the cup quickly. She murmured, “Children will be children. Such a nice cup of soup could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

Then, Susan added, “Although you are not happy to see me, I am very happy to have met you again.” She reached out to shake hands with Arianna.

Honestly, the thought of the soup being poisoned did cross Arianna’s mind, but she also just didn’t want to touch anything here. It seemed like this woman who became noble and elegant in such a sudden manner was trying to teach her a lesson about being proper, which made Arianna very annoyed.

She stared at Susan’s outstretched hand for a while before taking it. Susan’s palm was unexpectedly dry and warm. She looked weak when she was standing, but her handshake was very powerful.

Susan asked, “What happened to your hand?”
