Nicole was stunned for a moment when she saw Eric standing at her door.
Eric was holding a slightly soiled navy-blue gift box.
It looked a little out of place from his clean, slender hands.
His eyes were red.
He handed the box to her and said in a soft voice, "I picked it up, so don't reject me, okay?"
His voice was hoarse. His throat felt astringent.
He felt like he was going crazy for her, so much so that he could disregard his reputation and rummage through the trash can.
However, Eric knew that if he just walked away, he would not even have the luxury of meeting Nicole again in the future.
Nicole was silent for a few seconds and did not move.
Eric also remained in that position.
After a long time, Nicole smiled and took the gift box from his hand.
She took out the contents and put them on a table at the side, then threw the box on the floor.
Nicole swept a glance at Eric and said, "You can get
lost now."
Eric met her gaze and stepped forward. "I'm sorry."
He was too impulsive and lost control earlier.
Eric would not give up because she did not marry Clayton yet. Even if she did, he would still snatch her back!
The emotions in his eyes were complicated. The arrogance he had when facing outsiders disappeared without a trace in front of her.
Nicole narrowed her eyes and raised an eyebrow. "Is there anything else you want to say?"
"I want to change my terms. Let's remarry!"
His eyes were bloodshot. He did not need to think about anything else because he had only one purpose - to marry her.
After a few seconds, she laughed.
'What's the difference? He wanted to sleep with me, but now he wants to sleep with me openly and repeatedly?!'
Nicole looked at him indifferently. "Do you think you stand a chance?"
His fingers trembled slightly. 'Do I think that I have a chance?’
"Not really at this moment..."
His face was glum. Nicole snorted lightly. "It’s good that you know." "But I will later!” His jaw tightened.
Nicole looked at him and did not make a sound.
Whether he had a chance to get back together with her was not up to him.
This was the first time Eric was so humble and wretched. It was all because of her.
He stood there while Nicole casually took out a pair of men's slippers and threw them on the floor.
"Change your shoes first."
Nicole walked inside and picked up the laptop on the sofa. She took out the flash drive and waited for it to boot up.
Eric's pupils shrank for a moment. His heart jumped violently.
'Damn it...' He felt guilty.
Eric looked at the men's slippers on the floor and could not calm his heart down.
'Besides me, other men came here too? Why does she have men’s slippers here? Is Clayton Sloan a frequent visitor?'
He wanted to question her, but when he saw Nicole, his voice box felt like it was cut open. He opened his
mouth, but he could not make a sound.
'Was the lesson just now not deep enough? The situation finally eased up, so if I ask another question, I'll get kicked out to the streets!'
After some thought, Eric held back.
'It's all Clayton’s fault!'
Nicole turned on the laptop, inserted the flash drive, and opened the folder.
What she saw was mind-boggling: "Old Classics"," Romantic Songs", "President's Favorite Songs"...
