"Mr. Ferguson, what are you trying to do?” Ian Carter said with dissatisfaction because Eric just ruined such a romantic moment.
'So what if he’s Eric Ferguson? I won’t let him get his way!' Ian thought.
Eric did not even care about Ian and only stared intently at Nicole with a deep and dark gaze.
The Patek Philippe in her hand was dazzling, but Eric had never felt more hatred for this watch than at this moment, so much so that he wanted to throw out his entire collection of this brand of watches into the trash.
Nicole frowned and twisted her wrist away from Eric's big hand.
She looked at him coldly. "Mr. Ferguson, what’s the matter?"
Eric's lips were tightly pressed into a straight line. He was just about to speak, but Nicole did not give him the chance.
"Mr. Ferguson, save whatever you want to say for later. This is Second Young Master Carter's birthday party, s o you don’t want to steal the limelight, right?"
As she said that, Nicole smiled and carefully put the Patek Philippe on Ian’s wrist.
When she was done, she had a satisfied smile on her face. "Happy birthday, Carter!”
Ian moved his arm exaggeratedly to look at his new watch to deliberately rub it in Eric's face.
"Thanks, Nikki. This is the best gift I’ve ever received! It’s really worth keeping for the rest of my life..."
Ian looked at Nicole with such deep affection in his eyes.
Nicole held her breath for a moment. Ian's gaze was so warm, passionate, and tender that she felt so overwhelmed.
She also could not ignore the piercing cold gaze on the other side of her that was heavy and depressing.
Eric thought, 'She celebrated his birthday, gave him gifts, and played the piano for him... That person is not even me!' 2
Looking at this scene, Eric felt hurt like he was stabbed in the chest.
It was as if those memories that only belonged to him were about to be uprooted.
The pain was unbearable!
In a few seconds, Nicole lowered her eyes and chuckled. She looked at Ian, who was standing in front of her, and teased him. "This one should be quite valuable in a few years. You should keep it properly..."
Julie saw Nicole standing in such an awkward situation between those two men. Eric was also so dull that he had no intention to leave and even stared at Nicole unblinkingly.
'What an idiot!’
Julie hurriedly walked over and dragged Nicole away, deliberately finding an excuse to save her from that awkward situation.
