After Nicole finished speaking, she shrugged and strode toward her car.
Eric stood there with a pale face. His eyes were dark and deep like a cold and bottomless lake.
He felt like his heart was being crushed, and the dense pain was overwhelming.
It was as if all the strength had been taken from him.
Eric really lost Nicole.
Nicole got into the car and looked at the back seat as if nothing was wrong.
She smiled at Fischer, who was taking out a lollipop and stuffing it into Chatty’s mouth.
“Fischer, stop giving her candy. She’ll get cavities!”
Fischer quickly said, “This candy is to prevent cavities…”
Nicole glanced at him, and Fischer quickly changed his tune, “But it’s not good to eat too much…”
As he spoke, Fischer took out the candy that he had just stuffed into Chatty’s mouth.
Chatty looked at him in confusion as she thought, ‘But I haven’t tasted it yet!’
Nicole nodded in satisfaction.
Then, she turned to look at Levi.
“Leaf, we’re staying at my house today. Grandpa gave himself the day off.”
“That’s great, Auntie! I finally don’t have to go fishing for my extracurricular activity!”
Levi breathed a sigh of relief.
Nicole was speechless.
Chatty and Fischer shook their heads regretfully.
They were reluctant to leave the carefree life in the mansion.
Eric stood there for a long time before he left.
In the car, Chance did not dare to speak because he could tell that Eric was not in a good mood.
Eric did not send Chance home and took him to the office because Eric had a video conference in a while.
Mitchell saw Chance and enthusiastically brought him some snacks and drinks.
The smile on Chance’s small face was brighter, and he shyly thanked Mitchell.
Mitchell took some documents and went to Eric’s office.
Eric read the documents with no emotions as if he was just weighing the interests that each woman could bring.
Finally, Eric saw a familiar person that should not appear on this list.
Eric frowned slightly and glanced at Mitchell.
Mitchell coughed and smiled.
“Well, Ms. Nelson is also single. Her family is adequate, and most importantly, she has a small business and doesn’t have to rely on her family...”
“Small business? You mean, her bar?”
Eric sneered and closed the file.
“Did she bribe you? How much did she give you?”
Eric knew from the very beginning that Selena had bad intentions.
Mitchell’s face froze. He immediately denied it.
“No, President. How could she bribe me? It’s not like you don’t know how much she earns from that bar…”
Eric snorted coldly with some ridicule.
“That’s right. You’re a lot richer than her.”
Eric knew Selena’s net worth.
If Selena wanted to pay her ex-husband compensation, she might not even have enough after selling the bar.
The Nelson family would not distribute their property to her either.
Selena was broke as a joke.
Mitchell smiled. “Which one do you think suits you? Why don’t I arrange a time for her to have dinner with you?”
Eric looked impatient.
“That’s too troublesome. It’s a waste of time to meet them one by one. Chance’s birthday is two days later, so let’s host a party and invite these women and their families.”
Mitchell paused and asked in surprise.
“Young Master Chance’s birthday?”
Eric looked at him gloomily. “I just told you.”
Mitchell nodded.
