Chapter 252
Eric didn’t say anything but continued to stare at me. There was just something in his eyes that made my heart race. Feeling my face flush, I quickly lowered my gaze, afraid to see him. At that moment, Eric’s seductive voice sounded close to my ear. “Your heart is beating so fast. I wonder what are you afraid of?”
“I-I’m not scared.”
“Then why don’t you look at me?!”
I mustered up the courage to meet Eric’s eyes that looked so gentle they could melt my heart. Looking at him stupidly. I watched as he slowly lowered his head closer to mine. Just as Eric’s lips were about to meet mine, we were interrupted by a cheerful ring from my phone.
Eric immediately backed away and returned to his seat as I snapped out of a daze and came back to my senses. Moving forward would result in a black hole while taking a step back would lead to heaven. I was so grateful because Eric and I would have kissed already if it weren’t for that phone call.
I was a married woman and having intimate interactions with another man outside of my marriage would be considered. cheating. Even though Carson had already cheated on our marriage, that didn’t mean I should allow myself to do the same. Afraid to meet Eric’s gaze, I grabbed my phone and ran out of his office.
The call was now from Isabella. “Lily, what took you so long to accept my call?”
“It was inconvenient to take your call just now.”
“Inconvenient? Lily, why does your voice sound so strange?”
“And even?” I retorted.
“Clear! You seem completely off! Did something happen now?”
“Is nothing. Isabella, why are you looking for me?” I immediately changed the subject.
“Right now I’m packing up Jeremy’s things at First Boston Mansion, but guess who I saw just now?”
“Who?”
“Carson and Eliza’s parents. They actually came out of Mrs. Potter.” Mrs. Potter was a widow who lived alone. She was once the wife of a wealthy businessman and he left her billions in assets when he passed away. However, I was curious about how Ms. Potter got involved with my in-laws and my sister-in-law. “What were they doing here?”
“Looking for the place? That whore obviously brought them here to look around!” Isabella burst out laughing. “That prostitute approached Mrs. Potter recently, and Mrs. Potter had already traveled to Europe with his friends. Since that prostitute always comes with her, she would have the keys to Mrs. Potter and she could bring them to visit Mrs. Potter as if it were her own. She actually managed to woo her snooty mother-in-law and fake sister-in-law this time.”
First Boston had the most infamous mansions in all of Riverdale, so it was obviously only natural that my in-laws would be
shocked.
“Mrs. Potter doesn’t have a nanny? Isn’t that whore afraid of being exposed?”
