Eric said, “I won’t need you to take care of me once I can walk.”
He looked at her with disdain and added, “I’m afraid you’ll take advantage of me!”
Selena laughed. “Deal!”
She readily agreed.
She just had to be a caregiver, so she should not be ashamed to bow her head for $10 million!
Selena smiled and was complacent. The resentment in her heart dissipated.
Eric thought, ‘Look! There is nothing money can’t solve. What a snobbish woman!’
“Now, go draw me a bath.”
Selena paused, then looked at him sideways with a bit of a dilemma.
“I’m a woman after all.”
It was not very convenient, right?
Eric took a deep breath angrily. “I’m not paralyzed! Go get the wheelchair and push me into the bathroom!”
“Oh! Oh, okay…”
Selena thought that she was too unprofessional.
Her mind was already wondering about how Eric would look naked.
He had a good figure. Hmm...
However, she did not dare to think deeply because he was Eric Ferguson.
Selena cleaned up the bathroom and drew the bath for him.
She wrapped his wound with waterproof tape so it should not get wet.
However, seeing Eric’s irritable face, she felt that it was fine even if his wound got wet.
Eric could not stand his stinky self.
Selena thought it was funny to see Eric in such an unkempt state.
She quickly restrained her smile after Eric glared at her.
The corners of her mouth twitched. “Mr. Ferguson, do you have other orders?”
Eric paused. “Go out.”
Selena asked, “Don’t you need me to help bathe you?”
She asked sincerely.
She felt that Eric was worth the price!
Eric gave her a look of disgust. He thought it was not surprising that such words came out of her mouth.
He gritted his teeth and said, “Can you be more reserved? Why are you so impatient?”
Selena thought that it was strange.
What was wrong with her being a hard worker?
Why was his mind running askew again?
Selena snorted irritably. “Sorry, it’s my fault. I have to be reserved. Then you can bathe by yourself and call me again if you need me!”
With that said, she went out and closed the door.
She heard some rustling inside and the sound of water flowing.
Selena breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the sofa, and started watching TV.
After a while, Chance came in and looked around.
“Where’s Daddy?”
Selena raised her chin. “He’s taking a bath inside!”
Chance paused and suddenly thought of something:
“I asked the servant to come up and tidy up Daddy’s bed. He must have been very angry when he saw us eating on it.”
Selena also thought of this and nodded immediately.
“Okay. What other habits does your father have that I need to pay attention to? Can you please tell me?”
Chance glanced at her.
“Auntie, are you not leaving?”
Selena clearly looked like she was going to leave just now, as if no one could stop her.
Selena laughed. “I’m not leaving. Money kept me around, and I’m determined to stay and be your father’s slave!”
Chance frowned and asked excitedly.
“Are you going to marry my daddy?”
Selena restrained her smile, paused, and shook her head regretfully.
“Of course not! I will only consider it if he’s an old man in his seventies or eighties… If I marry him now, won’t I have to be his slave for decades? That way, I’m on the losing end, so I won’t marry him!”
Selena could not stand Eric’s bad temper, not even for a day!
Chance nodded in understanding and sighed.
“Auntie, when I grow up, I’ll find you a good man who is rich and will die soon!”
Selena paused like she did not care. “Oops! I’m sorry, boss. Don’t take such a trivial matter to heart.”
She knew how to guilt-trip him too.
Eric took a deep breath and turned his head away.
He did not want to argue with her.
Selena simply wiped off the water droplets and began to blow-dry his hair.
Eric was very quiet when he did not argue with her.
At least, he was less annoying.
Eric lay on the clean and tidy bed. He looked indifferent, cold, and unapproachable.
Selena went over to check on the wound on his shoulder.
She slowly unraveled the tape. Fortunately, the water did not seep in, and there was no infection.
She felt slightly relieved.
Her scorching breath sprayed on the man’s chest, which made Eric’s face taut.
“Are you done yet?”
His voice was deep and hoarse.
Selena finally leaned back and kept a distance from him. She then patted him on the shoulder lightly.
“Hmm… Now that you have no power to fight back, I can strip you naked and do anything to you…”
Selena stood there and touched her chin.
She seemed to be plotting something.
Eric only looked angry, but deep down, he felt like laughing.
“Do what?”
His voice was deep, lazy, and playful.
The two people stared at each other. When their eyes met, their hearts suddenly swelled.
Selena could not help but smile slyly.
“I can strip you naked, take your picture, and sell it! I’ll probably make a lot of money!”
As she spoke, she felt like her dream had come true.
Eric looked at her coldly as if his eyes were frozen.
“You can try. Then, we’ll see which one of us ends up giving the other $10 million!”
