Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 87

After eating, Tassach used the excuse of still having work to do to leave but was stopped by Mrs. Conduibh. She said, “Tassach, Gracie only returned today. She’s not familiar with the surroundings, so show her around.”

Before Tassach had the chance to refuse, Gracie smiled and said, “Tassach, I came back today, and I’m not familiar with this place. Would you mind showing me around?”

Tassach was about to refuse but could only hold back. “Uncle and aunt, I can give you a ride back along the way.”

Mr. and Mrs. King shook their heads at the same time and said, “You two can go ahead. You young people probably have a lot of things to chat about. We old people won’t bother you.”

Mrs. Conduibh was happy about the scene in front of her. “Young people should get together. Tassach, be nice to Gracie.”

Tassach nodded.

After the two got in the car, Gracie was no longer gentle and became graceful and dignified instead. “Tassach, you don’t like me?”

Tassach frowned. He did not like Gracie’s change of attitude.

“Miss King, you’re overthinking it. It’s our first time meeting each other. I can’t say that I like or dislike you. I’m only treating you as the daughter of a highly respectable family,” Tassach said in a relaxed manner. The elders were not there, so he did not need to pretend.

Gracie smiled and said, “Tassach, you didn’t want the Conduibh Group and instead chose to start your own company. From only five people to dozens of people with the number still slowly increasing, I respect your courage and I’m very interested in you as a person. My parents took me to your place today not only to visit an old friend, but also to initiate a romantic relationship between us. I’m sure someone smart like you could tell. If you don’t mind, I think we can give it a try.”

“I do mind,” Tassach refused directly.

Gracie gave him a surprised look and said, “Why? Give me a reason. Am I not pretty enough?”

Tassach shook his head and said, “No, Miss King is very beautiful, more beautiful than many celebrities and models, but I already have someone in my heart. Her appearance and family background may be slightly worse than Miss King’s, but I’m not interested in any women other than her.”

Gracie smiled confidently and said, “Is she your girlfriend?”

“No, I’m pursuing her.”

“So, I still have a chance?”

“Miss King, you change so quickly. You’re a harmless good girl in front of the elders and a confident fashion girl in front of outsiders.” Tassach changed the subject.

Gracie fluffed up her beautiful long hair and said, “My parents want me to be good and obedient, so I’ll be a good girl in front of them.”

Tassach said, “It seems that Miss King is a filial daughter.”

“I’m their only child, so I can’t let them down. But being a good girl is boring after a while,” Gracie said.

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and said, “Tassach, I don’t know what type of girl you like?”

Tassach said, “Not your type.”

The smile on Gracie’s face disappeared a little bit. She said, “Tassach, that’s not gentlemanly of you at all. There are quite a lot of men pursuing a beautiful woman like me. But I’m really interested in you. The more you reject me, the more I want to pursue you. I’m determined to pursue you. Just you wait.”

“Woman, has anyone told you that being too open will only scare men away? Men like to conquer, not to be conquered, understand?”

Just when Gracie wanted to say something, Tassach suddenly turned the steering wheel that Gracie almost fell forward due to inertia.

“Tassach, what are you doing?”

Tassach unfastened his seat belt, opened the door, and got out of the car. He then ran towards a woman.

“Ophelia, what’s the matter with you? Why is your whole body wet?” Tassach nervously looked at the wet Ophelia from head to toe. He asked, “Are you hurt anywhere?”

Ophelia looked at Tassach, who looked as if he descended from the sky, and said, “Tassach, why are you here?”

“Tell me first. What’s the matter with you? Are you injured?” Tassach asked anxiously.

Ophelia flicked her wet hair without carelessly and replied, “I’m fine. A bitch thought I was the other woman and splashed water all over me. She ran out of the psychiatric hospital that she was originally staying in. Unfortunately for me, I came across her. And you see the result right here.”

Tassach was at a loss for words that she could still joke and laugh. “Why didn’t you call me? You really didn’t get hurt? Is the child okay? How about I take you to the hospital?”

Ophelia waved her hand and said, “I’m fine. I was just thinking about something, so I walked around here. I’ll go back when I figure it out.”

“Tassach, aren’t you going to introduce her?” Ophelia finally saw Gracie standing behind Tassach and joked, “Your girlfriend?”
