Can't Resist the Billionaire novel Chapter 68

I took out his wallet and quickly rummaged through the ID he had put in it. But when I opened his wallet, I saw a strange photo.

It was a girl, taken with a mobile phone. The background was dark at night, so the photo was not very clear. But judging by her face, I knew it was me!

I didn't know when he took this photo, but definitely not recent, because my hair on it was still very long, at least longer than it was now. Also, the background was definitely not the present.

"When did you take it?" I stared at the carefully edited inch-long image and hesitated. Then I looked up at Vincent, stunned.

He probably felt a little uncomfortable as the little secret he had been hiding was discovered by others. After a pause, he replied somewhat awkwardly, "The first time I met you, I took it in secret!"

I sat up straight and looked at Vincent's extremely unnatural expression. There was a mixed feeling in my heart. "You fell in love with me the first time you saw me?"

"Yes, it is very strange, isn't it? I, Vincent, have never fallen in love with a girl ever since I was born, and you're the first one. The moment Christopher introduced you to me, I fell for you. But at that time you has married him. I..."

When Vincent spoke up to this point, he became a bit shy. After being silent for a moment, he sighed: "You are such a good girl. Why didn't Christopher appreciate you? I always thought that we could only be a passenger in each other's life, but who knows God finally brought you to me!"

With that, he suddenly reached out and wanted to hug me. But then he hesitated, looked at me and asked cautiously, "I want to hug you, is that okay?"

I was moved by his words. For some reason, I nodded in agreement. Seeing that, Vincent hugged me as if he had got a treasure. "Jasmine, I feel so happy!"

I lay in Vincent's gentle and firm embrace, listening to his heavy and rhythmic heartbeat. To be honest, at that moment I also felt the so-called happiness.

It was a kind of happiness that even Christopher couldn't give me, which was brought to me by Vincent!

Just as Vincent and I were hugging each other tightly, the room door suddenly opened, and we immediately kept distance from each other.

I thought it was the restaurant bringing the dishes again, but it turned out to be Duke Murphy.

Probably still having seeing us hugging each other, he deliberately teased, "Mr. Johnson and Jasmine's relationship is truly enviable. How can you be so attached even at meal?"

Vincent was a little embarrassed by his sudden appearance. He quickly stood up and greeted him. "Why have you come, Mr. Murphy? I just said I would took Jasmine for you this afternoon!"

Hearing this, Duke was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what Vincent meant. "Have you made up your mind to buy that villa?"

Vincent looked down at me, then turned to Duke Murphy and said with finality, "Well, since she likes it very much, I'll buy it!"

"So generous! You're even willing to spend thousands of millions for your love. This made me envious." After this, Duke deliberately turned his head and looked at me. His eyes were as deep as before, so I instinctively lowered my head to avoid him.

Vincent smiled slightly and said nothing more. He invited Duke Murphy to lunch. "Since you has met us unexpectedly, why don't you join us?"

Duke seemed to have the same idea, but he was afraid to interfere what Vincent and I was just doing. He looked at Vincent with some hesitation and asked, "Is that appropriate? Will it interfere with your lover's world?"

His words embarrassed both me and Vincent a little. "No, no, we're just having a lunch. Besides, we'll also go to your company to discuss about the villa, so this would save me a lot trouble."

"That is true. I will do as you say!" With that, Duke found a chair and sat down across from me, while Vincent sat in a row next to me.

Duke ordered a few more dishes and said it was on his bill. The money was , so Vincent did not blame him.

During the lunch, Duke discussed the villa price with Vincent. Since Duke was a good friend of Vincent's father, and he was doing real estate anyway, he only sold it at a cost price. The decoration was free as well. In this way, Vincent could buy villa for only ten million dollars.

Vincent was no fool. Before he conferred with Duke, he must have found someone to calculate the cost of the villa, so he was very happy when Duke sold it at such a low price.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Murphy. I will tell my father when I return a few days later!" Vincent said with a satisfied smile on his face.

Duke was a businessman, so he must have had his own intention for giving up so much money. When he saw that Vincent was satisfied, he grabbed the chance and said, "After all, your father and I are friends. I'll visit him with you sometime. By the way, how is your grandfather lately?"

When Duke mentioned Vincent's grandfather, Vincent's face darkened. However, he immediately replied calmly, "Pretty good. He has resigned last year, so he has nothing much to do!"

Duke seemed more interested in Vincent's grandfather. He then continued, "Only if he is still healthy. I'm going to City B in a couple of days, so I may visit him!"

Vincent put on a fake smile and said to Duke Murphy, "Then you may not be able to see him. He doesn't like to see anyone recently. Even I rarely see him!"
