Hate To Love You My Billionaire Lover

She was deceived by him again, so ridiculously. Arianna was wondering if Travis was laughing at this time.

She also thought he didn’t care about anything at all, whether she came or not. Just like a long time ago, he got what he wanted. And he was indifferent about whether she was happy or hurt.

Now that she had been waiting till now, she could wait for a few more minutes. At least she fulfilled his request, even if she did not volunteer.

Arianna turned on the phone’s timer function and decided to give another 15 minutes for this meeting, watching the numbers beating second by second. She wished the ending alarm of the countdown would sound earlier so she would leave here immediately, and then she would really let go.

However, before she heard the alarm, a person knocked at the door of Hall 9 and came in when it was just two minutes away from 10 pm.

She looked up and saw it was Ryan Cooper, who was looking more expressionless than ever.

“Mr. Cooper cannot come. Sorry.”

“It doesn’t matter, I know it.” It turned out the man at least sent someone to inform her.

Ryan took a step forward and took an envelope out of his pocket, and said, “Mr. Cooper wanted me to deliver this to you.”

Arianna took a step back, but the envelope still landed in her hands. Her name was written on the envelope in a unique font that she was familiar with.

She ripped open the seal and found there was only a key inside.

She remembered the key was the one in her safe box. She put all the valuables Travis gave her over the years into the safe box and returned it to him.

Arianna’s brain was black for a few seconds. Then she walked over to Ryan and put the key back into his pocket. She smashed the envelope and said, “Thank him. But it’s unnecessary.” And she was about to leave.

However, Ryan grabbed her hand rudely for the first time in her memory, and he stuffed the key back into her hands and said, “Mr. Cooper wanted you to have it. If you insist on throwing it away, please do it yourself.” Then Ryan took off.

After a few seconds, Arianna ran out of the airport hall and caught up with Ryan in the parking lot. She was a little out of breath, almost sprained her ankle.

Arianna yelled, “Ryan!”

Ryan didn’t stop.

She shouted again, “Wait for a second, Ryan!” Then she ran faster and blocked Ryan’s way. Ryan immediately turned his face away.

Arianna knew she had finally guessed it. She pulled Ryan’s body back in disregard of courtesy, and she saw that he had already burst into tears.

“Where is he? Take me to see him.” Arianna whispered.

Arianna was taken to the hospital by Ryan, only to see a cold body lying in bed, wrapped in white cloth from top to toe.

She stood there dumbly, listening to Ryan whispering intermittently, “A very serious car accident, the whole car rushed down the cliff.”

“Mr. Cooper left in the evening yesterday in a hurry. He only gave me the envelope. And he told me to give it to you if he could not come back on time.”

“I didn’t expect him to drive back by himself. He didn’t like to drive. He rarely drove, and his skills were bad. And that mountain road is very dangerous.”

Arianna wanted to open the white cloth to confirm but was stopped by Ryan and the doctor.

“Miss Jenkins, please don’t. Mr. Cooper won’t like you to see his look now.”

“It’s useless, Miss Jenkins. It’s better to leave a good impression of him.” The doctor uttered.

“If he… is completely unrecognizable,” Arianna tried hard to say the words, “How can you confirm that it is him?”

“There are all his documents in the car. Moreover, Mr. Cooper has a very rare blood type. And the little toe of his right foot has a little congenital micro-curve, very distinct from normal people. And all these conditions match this body.” Ryan whimpered.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Arianna didn’t know what was special about Travis’s right little toe because she never noticed. She felt like she was in a dream, and she wanted to wake up badly.

Ryan added, “Here it is. They found this. It was tightly held in Mr. Cooper’s hand when they found him.”

Arianna took a look at Ryan’s palm, and her heart was broken, hard.

It was the lucky buckle with the pattern which was most familiar to her. She got another lucky buckle, exactly like this one.

She always suspected that Travis recognized her identity in their first meeting because of this lucky buckle she was wearing. Her uncle had one in his possession too, but it was lost later. He must have given it to the only woman he loved in his lifetime, who was Travis’s mother.

Arianna just never imagined that Travis would keep it. Even though it was his mother’s relic, it came from his enemy’s family.

Her heart and brain were pounding and aching. Countless thoughts and memories flooded her mind.

Probably Ryan didn’t know the story behind the lucky buckle. He still insisted on explaining, “I have only seen this thing once. It’s indeed one of Mr. Cooper’s belongings. Susan once said Mr. Cooper’s mother destroyed all her things except this item. This is the only relic of Mr. Cooper’s mother.”

Regardless of what Ryan and the doctor said, Arianna finally opened the white cloth.

That face was not looking as bad as they described. It was even clean and peaceful. Although it was hard for Arianna to recognize Travis’s face as a whole, she identified the shapes of his eyebrows, lips, and eyelashes, no matter how unwilling she would’ve to admit what she was familiar with.

In all those years with him, she would only take a good look at his face when he fell into a deep sleep. Arianna touched his face. That face of him, usually gaunt and thin, was now swollen.

If the doctor didn’t confirm that Travis had lost all vital signs, Arianna might’ve laughed out loud seeing his face.

Then Arianna put her hand on his eyes, crouched down, and said softly in his ear, “If there is an afterlife, I hope that all your regrets in this world will be compensated.”

After that, Arianna left the hospital calmly.

Ryan chased her and asked, “Where are you going? I’ll call someone to send you.”

“No need. I have an appointment with someone.”
