Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 780

After Morgan headed upstairs, Elaine turned to her back and found that Vincent was standing behind her. Although she didn't know how long he had been standing there, his eyes were staring at her deeply. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

In fact, Elaine was slightly embarrassed.

"Come here."

A moment later, Vincent waved his hand at her and told her to go over.

Hesitantly, she walked over to him.

Then, Vincent lowered his head to look at her with a slightly deep gaze and suddenly asked, "Do you want to attend university?"

Never did Elaine expect that he would suddenly say such a sentence. For a moment, she was stunned before she said, "Dr. Perkins, what do you mean?"

Straightforwardly, he answered, "I meant what I've just said."

Slightly confused, she asked, "Am I not allowed to work at your place if my education background is not good enough?"

Immediately, Vincent knocked on her head and said with a smile, "What are you thinking about? It's not that I dislike you. I'm just asking if you're interested in studying because it would be a pity of you for not furthering your studies when you have the potential."

For a short moment, Elaine was distracted by his bright smile. "I... I don't have any potential. It was just that I happened to know those paintings."

"And you say that you don't have the potential?" With a sneer, Vincent uttered, "There are people who had spent their whole life trying to be as good as you. Don't belittle yourself. This is your talent. Even Morgan praised you for being extraordinary."

In fact, it was due to her family's poor condition that she couldn't further her studies after graduating from high school.

However, if Elaine hadn't insisted on attending high school, her parents probably wouldn't even have allowed her to attend high school.

Later, when her sister went to college, her family became even short of money. It was to the point where her family really couldn't afford her sister's tuition fees, and her mother burst into tears in front of her, saying that the only way to afford the tuition fee was to sell off her own organs...

How could Elaine even let her parents do such a thing that would harm their health? Hence, she agreed to work and gave up on her studies.

But now that Dr. Perkins suddenly asked her if she wanted to go to school, of course, she would want to. But she is already a grown woman, and no university would accept her.

So Elaine shook her head and said, "No, I am fine now. If I chose to further my studies, then I will not be able to send money back to my family, and it will affect my brother's studies."

Displeased, Vincent frowned and said, "You don't have to think about them. Just think about what you want."

At that moment, Elaine was stunned.

Suddenly, she remembered something else. "Dr. Perkins, what is the time now?"

Slowly, Vincent raised his wrist and looked at the time. "It's almost one o'clock. What's the matter?"

"Oh my. It's so late already?" Anxiously, Elaine answered, "I'm sorry, but I have to go to the hospital now. Yesterday, I made an appointment with Paul, and I told him that I would meet him at the hospital by noon. If he can't find me, he will be worried."

Since she didn't have a phone, there was no way Paul could get in touch with her either.

In fact, Elaine even had to use Paul's phone to call Ariah and ask her to come to the hospital the day

before.

However, Vincent took her hand and said, "Let him wait. Go and have lunch first."

How could she even be in the mood to eat? "No, I have to go to the hospital first..."

"I said, have your lunch first!" As Vincent interrupted her, he glared at her, and there was no doubt in his eyes. At a loss for words, Elaine had no choice but to obey.

During lunch, Elaine gobbled up her food at a rapid speed.

Meanwhile, Dr. Perkins was eating slowly and elegantly.

In a hurry, she urged, "Dr. Perkins, hurry up."

But Vincent ignored her.

As soon as Elaine finished her last bite, she wiped the corner of her mouth and said, "Dr. Perkins, take your time. I'll make a move first."

After that, she got up and left without waiting for his reply.

"How are you going to get to the hospital without a car?" Calmly, Vincent's voice sounded behind her.

Stunned, Elaine thought for a moment, then turned to him and pleaded, "Dr. Perkins, please drive me to the city. If you don't have the time, can you at least tell me where is the nearest bus station here? I don't mind taking the bus." "There is no bus station here. Don't even think about it."

Worriedly, she sat back down and asked, "What should I do then?"

Slowly, Vincent placed his cutleries on the table and looked at her with a strong gaze. "Promise me that you will not call me Dr. Perkins from now onward, and I will take you to the hospital."

"Uh, if you don't want me to address you as Dr. Perkins, then how am I supposed to address you?"

In fact, Elaine had always addressed him that way. Why did he suddenly ask her to change today?

"Call me Vincent."

Surprised, her eyes widened. "Vincent is not your name, right?"

"No." Immediately, Vincent shook his head.

In a daze, Elaine was tongue-tied.

At that moment, she had no idea what Dr. Perkins was trying to do.

"It's my nickname." As Vincent leaned back in his chair, his gaze was deep and serene. "You like to read, right? It's just like how some famous artists have nicknames."

Just like how Jennifer Lopez was also known as J-Lo.

It never occurred to Elaine that Dr. Perkins had a special nickname, so she hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, Dr... uh, Vincent. I promise you that I won't call you Dr. Perkins in the future. Now, hurry and send me to the hospital."

It was known that Paul had a bad temper, and he was not familiar with Beachmarsh City, so he would definitely worry if he couldn't find her at the hospital.

However, after Elaine called Vincent by his name, there was a fire burning in the depths of his eyes.

Suddenly, he pulled her over and said in a low voice, "What did you just call me? I want you to repeat it."

After a moment of struggle, Elaine realized that Dr. Perkins was holding onto her very tightly, and she couldn't seem to get rid of him. "V-Vincent?"

As a result, Vincent leaned over and put one hand around her waist as he pulled her toward his body. "In a softer tone."

"V-Vincent?" Again, she repeated his name, but in a softer tone.

Then, Vincent laughed in a low voice. "From now on, address me that way. I love it when you address me like that."

All of a sudden, Elaine flushed, and her heart raced. At that moment, she was struggling to free herself from his grip, like a cat whose tail was stepped on. However, Vincent suddenly let go of her, which caused her to stand up in a daze.

Meanwhile, Vincent was enjoying the embarrassed expression that she on her face.

As his smile deepened, he got up and approached her.

Immediately, Elaine turned around and ran away.

In fact, she was taken aback by what had happened. Just now, he was looking at her as if he wanted to eat her up...

With a chuckle, Vincent took a few steps forward and got hold of her. "Where can you run to?"

With a flushed face, Elaine's heart raced as she uttered, "I... I'll go outside and wait for you. Take your time to enjoy your lunch..."

Deliberately, Vincent teased her, "Why is your face so red? What are you thinking about?"

At a loss for words, all she wanted was to get rid of his hand and find a quiet place to calm down.

However, Vincent did not give her a chance to do so.

Their action made them seem to be intimately intertwined.

When Morgan came downstairs and saw such a scene, he was stunned at first, but he immediately rubbed his eyes.

What did he just see?

Did he actually happen to see mister flirting with Miss Jacob?

Was that really his mister, who had no desire at all?

Never did Morgan expect that he could actually do such a 'pervert' thing!

Excitedly, Morgan thought to himself that it was finally happening!

Meanwhile, Elaine noticed that Morgan was standing at the stairs. Embarrassed and annoyed, she exclaimed, "Dr. Perkins, let me go. Morgan is watching!"

Silently, Vincent held her waist with one hand and her wrist with the other. The moment her petite body was trapped in his arms, her faint fragrance went straight into his nose, and his steady breath suddenly changed.

It was rapid, and there was a hint of forbearance.

Also, he seemed to be in a daze.
