The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric) novel Chapter 1615

Eric looked at Nicole. His hands that were hanging at his sides were clenched tightly, so much so that his knuckles turned white. His heart felt like it was stabbed.

He felt like even breathing was painful.

Eric lowered his eyes and tried to hide the emotions i n them.

His heart was bitter and unbearably sad. After a long silence, he said in a raspy voice, "I just want to apologize to you, nothing else. If you don't want to meet with me alone, you can bring someone with you

H

This was his compromise.

Eric had already lost.

He did not name Clayton specifically, but they all understood.

Clayton was surprised and raised his eyebrows slightly. He saw Eric's gloomy and complicated face and was instantly in a good mood.

His enemy's pain was his pleasure!

Even so, Nicole was not willing to agree.

Talking to Eric would make her upset. She was not a generous and forgiving person, so why must she be forced to forgive him?

Seeing this stalemate, Roland coughed on the side and stepped forward to relieve the situation.

"Ms. Stanton, Mr. Sloan, everything is ready. We can leave now.”

Nicole glanced at Roland and was satisfied with his reaction.

She was just about to lift her foot to go around Eric when Eric quickly stood in front of her.

Eric closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Nicole, just think of it as me begging you. I just want to say a few words. You just need to listen. It doesn't matter whether you forgive m e or not. I won't come back to bother you in the future."

Saying these words made his heart ache, as if he was gouging out a very important part of his heart. Every nerve in his body was in pain.

Nicole lowered her eyes and hid her disgust.

"If I don't want to hear it, you'll come and pester me again?"

Her voice was clear and cold without the slightest warmth.

She treated a stranger better than she did Eric.

Eric was silent. His face was pale, and his eyes were gloomy.

"Yes," Eric said.

There was no one else inside, and they could not be seen from the outside.

Sitting there, one could hear the trickling sound of the fountain outside and the rustling shrubs in the wind.

It could steady one's restless and discontented heart i n an instant.

Nicole sat down and looked at Clayton, who was next t o her.

"It’ll just be a few minutes. Let me know immediately i f you're not feeling well."

Even now, all she cared about was Clayton.

When Eric, who was at the back, heard these words, his body unconsciously lurched.

His face became even paler.

Eric sat across from them and did not say anything for a while.

On the contrary, Clayton spoke in a clear and loud voice.

"Mr. Ferguson, I heard that you were quite troubled in Southeast Asia, but the good thing is that it’s been successfully resolved. I haven't congratulated you on that. It’s truly unprecedented. The authorities value you even more for resolving such a big problem for them. I also heard that one of the heads wants their daughter to marry you!"
