It was a couple photo of Eric and Nicole. Eric always regarded it as a treasure, and he only dared to show his selfishness and miss his past marriage in his private study.
The room was so quiet that he could hear a pin drop.
Eric stared blankly at the photo. His whole body seemed to be frozen.
For a moment, it seemed as if two forces were tearing at his heart. His muscles were torn, and he felt breathless.
Last night’s indulgence reminded Eric that there was no going back to the past.
He had to face it.
Eric had to forget Nicole, but could he?
His heart ached as he gently put the photo face down on the table. His face was pale.
At this time, Selena pushed the door open and came in with a bit of sleepiness on her face. She was unabashedly wearing Eric’s shirt which barely covered her thighs.
“Mr. Ferguson, I want to take a shower, but the shower head in your bathroom seems to be broken.”
Eric paused, frowned, and stood up.
“Broken? I’ll go and check it out.”
Although they were not as clingy as ordinary couples, they were more intimate than before.
Selena could show up wearing his shirt, and Eric could accept her change in attitude.
There were marks of different shades down Selena’s neck.
Eric glanced at them and immediately looked away.
He was afraid that he would not be able to hold back.
Selena smiled and was about to turn around to leave when she suddenly saw something different on Eric’s desk.
What changed?
When Selena lived here before, she was staying in the study, so she was familiar with the arrangement in the study.
Selena walked in quietly.
She glanced at the desk and saw the photo that was placed face down on the desk. Selena picked it up and saw it was a picture of Nicole and Eric. Both of them looked stunning and well-matched.
Selena paused and felt a complex sensation in her heart.
She did not know how to face it. Her shy and apprehensive heart instantly settled.
However, she figured out the attitude that she should have around Eric.
It turned out that Eric was still reminiscing about the past.
Did he regret it?
Did Eric feel like he had betrayed his love for Nicole?
Selena gently put the photo back in place and sighed.
Fortunately, Selena was only a little impulsive in the physical aspect last night.
After waking up, she had more clarity.
She only slept with Eric on a whim. It had nothing to do with love.
Why would she mind if Eric was longing for a married woman who did not love him back?
Selena could not be so domineering because she did not love him.
Thus, it did not matter to her who Eric longed for.
Selena turned around and left the study with understanding. She watched as Eric fiddled with the lever in the bathroom.
Half of his body was drenched, but he looked so charming when he lowered his head to seriously fix the problem.
Selena raised her eyebrows and sat on the sofa with her phone to reply to Chaz’s message.
Chaz typed.
[You’re not back yet? Our business is booming on Valentine’s Day!]
[Boss, are you planning to stay out all night?]
[Boss, Zachary is here. He waited for you for two hours and just left. I asked him what happened, but he wouldn’t say anything.]
[Boss, have a wonderful night!]
......
Chaz seemed to be aware of the conflict between Selena and Zachary, so he briefly mentioned that Zachary was looking for her.
Selena replied to the message with her head down as she heard Eric calling for her in the bathroom.
“Can you use the bathtub first? The lever is broken. I’ll get someone to fix it later!”
