The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric) novel Chapter 286

Eric’s voice was magnetic, mellow, deep, and raspy. The emotions in his eyes were suppressed and restrained.

As soon as his words fell, the air almost froze.

The blood on Nicole's face drained in an instant.

Her eyes carried disbelief.

'Have I misheard? He wanted... Me? The person who wanted to throw me away like a bag of trash back then actually chose me?!'

Nicole was perplexed and could not believe what she just heard. 'What exactly did Eric Fergusons want?’

The silence in the air gradually ate away at her calmness.

Eric’s eyes were locked onto Nicole’s face, watching every emotion and detail from her eyes closely.

Shock, amazement, detachment, resistance...

Fortunately, among so many emotions, there was no disgust!

Eric moved closer to her and wanted to touch her hair. He wanted her to feel that his affection was real.

He was sincere.

However, before he could touch her, Nicole subconsciously backed away like she was afraid of him.

Earlier, Nicole did not react when Nathaniel was so close to her, but she dodged Eric like the plague.

Her avoidance deeply stung Eric's heart.

Eric pretended as if nothing had happened. He hooked his lips into a smile, but the emotions in his eyes surged.

His voice was raspy and gentle, with extreme restraint.

"Nicole, I wasn't joking. During this time, I'm not much better than you. I think that perhaps our divorce was too rash..."

Nicole's brow was tightly locked. She suddenly realized something and turned to look at him.

The undisguised joy and glee in the man's eyes were like fire. It almost burned her.

The moment she saw through the emotions in his eyes, her heart trembled violently.

'Did I just see nostalgia and fondness in his eyes?'

At that moment, the feelings in Nicole's heart that were like a stagnant pool of water rippled from the rock that was suddenly thrown in.

It was not from joy, but shock.

However, it only lasted for a split second. Nicole withdrew her gaze and resumed her stoic attitude.

Nicole hooked the corners of her lips and raised her eyes to look at him. There was no trace of warmth in her eyes.
