Nicole did not get to jump out of the car. She just sat there and cast a sidelong glance at Eric. Her gaze was as cold as the cold wind in the night.
'Remarry him?! Bloody impossible!’
Nicole did not like Eric's proposal, not even as a joke.
Eric's eyes were deep and dark, blending into the night.
"Why did you lie to me that it wasn't you? The woman i n the photo is clearly you..."
'Why won’t you admit it? Why won't you admit that you saved me?' Eric thought.
The moment Eric confirmed that it was Nicole, he felt indescribably relaxed and vaguely happy.
Nicole laughed. "So what if it's me? What can you do with this knowledge?"
She had him at a loss.
'Yeah, what could I do...?’
At that moment, Eric’s expression was clearly stagnant. The corners of his lips were tightly pressed into a straight line.
Eric, who had always been calm and steady, seemed t o be on the verge of collapsing.
Nicole hooked her lips into a faint smile. Her red lips parted slightly as she said, "Mr. Ferguson, can't you see that I'm lying to you because I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore? That’s all in the past, and I'm someone who will never look back. Not t o mention remarriage, I've never reconciled with friends that I’ve cut off contact with. Mr. Ferguson, just move on. We don't have anything to do with each other anymore, so we can marry whoever we like. No matter who you’re with in the future, I'll certainly prepare a generous gift to congratulate you."
She was obviously smiling, but the words that came out of her mouth were like sharp nails that densely pricked Eric's heart.
It hurt so much that he could not speak.
'Was it all in the past? I knew nothing about these, yet she just drew the line at these things and classified them as a clear-cut past?'
Nicole said her piece and wanted to get out of the car without looking at him.
Eric's voice was clear and cold, but with a hint of affection as he said behind her.
"Nicole, I saved your life. Do you not want to admit this?"
Nicole froze in an instant.
Her hand was propped on the door as she turned back to look at him.
