Nicole smiled. "Thank you, but I’m going upstairs first."
"Sure, sure!"
Nicole was halfway up the stairs when Luca opened the door. She swept a glance to the back and saw Eric being pushed in.
Toto greeted Eric excitedly, which made his little pink apron sway with his movements.
"Mr. Ferguson, you’re back! A man like you who works hard every day yet still maintains such charm is the best fit for Ms. Stanton! You two are simply perfect for each other! Sigh... I don't even know what words to best describe you..."
Luca was about to go upstairs after Nicole. When he heard Toto's words, he suddenly paused in his footsteps.
He turned around. His fierce face had a few moments o f hesitation.
"I think there's only one way to describe him."
Toto's eyes lit up. He ran over excitedly because this was the first time Luca willingly carried the conversation. It was a good sign of their strengthening relationship.
"What word?"
"Determined cripple," Luca answered.
Nicole raised her eyebrows and could not help but laugh.
Eric's speechless and already dark and sullen face turned colder.
Luca was not highly uneducated and felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said. He just strode over to Nicole.
Toto froze for a moment. He could feel the gradually suffocating vibes from Eric.
He suddenly regretted looking for a sense of belonging with Luca.
What a misstep!
Eric's sharp gaze looked up the stairs. Nicole instantly withdrew her smile.
'I'm only crippled because of her! How could she laugh at me?! No conscience!'
