Nicole was really going crazy. 'Why is Eric Ferguson pestering me like an annoying fly that can’t be swatted away?!’
She wanted to scold him for being unreasonable.
Eric held her wrist tightly. His voice was cold and resolute.
"Nicole, whether you believe it or not, I really regret it. I f... If I can have another chance...”
Nicole sharply interrupted him. The pain in her eyes could no longer be suppressed.
"Eric Ferguson, I've been getting nightmares about those things in the past for all these years. Ever since I met you, I haven’t had a single day of happiness and joy. I don’t regret saving you, but please, I'm begging you to let go of the past and stop talking about it.”
Whether or not Eric regretted his past actions were of no help to Nicole's three years of suffering. It was even a little laughable.
Eric's body stiffened abruptly. He was so shaken by Nicole's fractured voice and the pain in her eyes that h e could not bear to look straight at her.
Those pains were all brought by him, yet he knew nothing about it!
Nicole stared at the man's side profile in front of her, his defined jawlines, straight nose, and perfectly sculpted features. She was once so obsessed with him that she could not extricate herself.
Now, all she wanted was to stay away from him!
She quickly hid her pained expression. She looked indifferent as she shifted her gaze to the front and forced a smile.
"You don’t need to feel sorry for me, and you don't need to regret anything. It's all in the past, so let's just move on."
Nicole thought that Eric's regret was from the guilt he felt towards her after knowing the reason she could not swim.
In fact, it was unnecessary. That was originally her one -sided love for him because he had jumped on her to save her on the streets of Europe.
However, Nicole did not want to mention this.
Her gaze was slightly averted as she turned around and got into the Stanton family's car.
Eric wanted to chase after her again, but his legs could not move. Thinking of the cold and strange gaze Nicole gave him earlier made him question what right he had to stop her.
