Soon, the person the Yeagers had been waiting for arrived.
That person did not seem the slightest bit guilty for being late.
A little boy followed him.
The kid liked to look around and saw Selena at a glance.
He thought about going there to surprise Selena, but he realized that he came with Eric, so he was hesitant.
Since Chance saw Selena, Eric naturally saw her too.
Eric folded his sleeves with one hand and looked stern as he glanced in the direction of Selena and Zachary. He was exuding such a frightening chill, but the couple did not notice him at all.
Selena and Zachary ate happily and chatted about everything. Occasionally, they would talk about the people around them in a low voice.
The more they talked, the more they hit it off. They were also no longer as distant as before.
They looked like a young couple in love.
This scene was an eyesore to Eric.
He thought, ‘Hah! No wonder that woman was unmoved when I hinted that she could pursue me last time. She even uncharacteristically blocked me and stopped contacting me. Turns out, she already found her next boyfriend! She’s really something!’
Eric narrowed his eyes and held back his anger.
He pushed Chance, who was beside him, and said with a motive, “If you want to go over, go ahead. It’s only right for you to greet someone you know. I told you that you must be polite. I have something to discuss, so I’ll pick you up after I’m done.”
Chance nodded hesitantly.
He was happy and apprehensive.
That was because he was happy to see Selena yet afraid that he would disturb her.
However, Eric did not care about Chance and walked straight to the Yeagers’ table.
Seeing Eric approach, the Yeagers immediately stood up to greet him.
They were a lot more humble than before.
Larry looked inquisitive and cautious.
“Mr. Ferguson, I would like to thank you for letting Cindy out of the police station. Cindy learned her mistake. I hope you won’t blame her anymore.”
Eric’s indifferent eyes glanced at the divider next to him and thought that it was a disturbance.
He inadvertently glanced to the side and smiled faintly and indifferently.
“As long as Ms. Yeager learns from her mistake. She ought to be more careful in the future and stop revealing herself.”
Eric had an underlying meaning in saying that.
Cindy only felt a chill on her back that slowly spread all over her body.
She lowered her head. When she thought about the time she saw Selena at Eric’s house, she became spiteful again.
However, she suppressed her emotions.
Cindy looked remorseful and fragile, unlike before. She took a deep breath.
“I know I was wrong. Don’t worry. I’ll watch out in the future.”
To reassure Eric, Larry deliberately said, “I have already found a marriage partner for Cindy. He’s the vice president of our company. Although he’s divorced, he’s still young and promising. He’ll be able to help Cindy in the future. Mr. Ferguson, I hope that from now on, we can put the past behind us and become good business partners again.”
Larry raised his wine glass and looked at Eric respectfully.
Eric swept across Larry’s face lightly. His eyelashes covered his gloomy eyes, and his emotions were inscrutable.
“Of course. I also hope that you guys can take care of yourself.”
The Yeagers could tell that Eric was just being perfunctory.
In fact, Eric’s attention was on the table diagonally opposite him.
It was a pity that they were too far away, so he could not hear what was going on.
Chance walked over cautiously and greeted Selena with a smile.
“Aunt Selena, you’re here too!”
Selena looked at him in surprise, smiled, and touched his little face.
“It’s you! Long time no see. Why haven’t you grown taller?”
