Selena’s calmness made Eric feel uneasy, distant, and even a little cold.
Eric returned to the villa.
The servant looked at him with worry. “Ms. Ferguson, you’re back.”
“Where is she?”
Eric’s voice was deep, and his face was sharp.
The servant paused. “Ms. Nelson said that she ate too much and wanted to go out for a walk.”
Eric’s face suddenly sank.
“Didn’t I tell you not to let her leave the house?”
The servant was nervous for a moment.
“But Ms. Nelson said she would come back after strolling around.”
The servants were in a dilemma. Selena was the future lady boss, so how could they stop her?
Moreover, Selena had legs, and Eric did not tie her up. Even if they wanted to stop her, they could not.
Eric’s face darkened.
He picked up his phone to call Selena.
However, he put his phone away when he thought of something.
He chuckled in a low voice and thought that he was being a little ridiculous.
Ever since he learned about what happened online, he had been anxious.
It was obviously a trivial matter. Eric would not make any statement if he were to handle it himself.
So, why did he care so much about Selena’s thoughts?
When they decided to be together, Selena was already mentally prepared for this, right?
Eric waved and told the driver to leave first.
The servants stood there awkwardly and did not know what to do for a moment.
It was not until Eric lifted his foot and returned to the study that they breathed a sigh of relief.
No one took the initiative to find Selena and search for her whereabouts.
Thus, Selena only came back when the sky gradually darkened. She held an ice cream in her hand and seemed to be in a very good mood.
The servant looked at her and went over. “Ms. Nelson, dinner is ready. Is there anything else you want to eat?”
Selena paused and touched her stomach.
“I’ve eaten outside. You can eat.”
She looked around. “Where’s Chance?”
“The young master has extra lessons tonight, so he’ll be back later.”
Selena nodded and walked upstairs while eating the ice cream.
Before she reached the top stairs, she saw a shadow in front of her.
Selena looked up blankly.
Eric’s expression was gloomy, and he was somewhat unhappy.
“It’s so late. You’re finally back. Did you forget what I told you before? Do you not care about what the Yeager family might do to you?”
Selena frowned and said indifferently, “I can’t just hide forever. I haven’t done anything wrong. Moreover, this won’t be solved in a day or two. I’ll have to go back to the bar eventually!”
Eric’s complexion was dark, just like his eyes.
This was clearly not what he wanted to say.
He wanted to talk about what happened during the day and what they cared about most.
After Selena finished speaking, she wanted to walk around him to go upstairs.
As a result, Eric walked in that direction and blocked her way.
The two looked at each other again.
Selena took a bite of the ice cream and gasped when her sensitive teeth felt the biting cold.
She took a few seconds to calm down before she exhaled.
“Is there anything else?”
“You have nothing to tell me?”
Eric asked back.
Selena frowned. “No.”
Eric was stunned. His chest felt stuffy.
He felt suffocated.
“Why didn’t you call me during the day?”
Eric’s voice was hoarse as he said with difficulty.
He felt that he would not be able to solve this problem if he did not speak clearly.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorced Billionaire Heiress
I liked this book and wanted to read it. As I have moved into the chapters, I have found that it is unreadable due to typographical errors, including sentences that are incomplete, complete gibberish, missing elements. This is not just some misspelled words. It is actually unreadable. If you decide to fix this, let me know and I will read it....
