Eric looked at Selena quietly for more than ten seconds.
His face was extremely tense and glum.
Eric said in a low voice, “What do you think?”
Selena paused and raised her eyebrows.
“Alright, I understand. From now on, let’s delete each other’s contact information. I won’t look for you again, and you shouldn’t look for me either. We can just treat each other as strangers.”
Selena rationally arranged the plan for their future, just like when they were not together back then.
Eric’s face and eyes darkened.
His emotions surged violently, but he suppressed them. They were like currents in the deep and boundless sea.
A gust of wind could cause huge waves.
“No.”
His voice was hoarse. He felt as if his throat had been ground by coarse sand, so much so that it hurt to speak.
“What?”
“I have nothing to do with her, let alone marry her. I came here to explain it to you.”
Eric looked at Selena, but there was no emotion or excitement on her face.
Selena was way too calm.
Eric was a little speechless, but he had to say it.
He took a deep breath and spoke with difficulty, “It’s only because our companies are about to partner on a project. If we draw a clear line, everyone will think that there is something wrong with our partnership. Then, it won’t be good for both companies. That’s why we remained silent.”
Eric looked at Selena with burning eyes.
He actually felt a little guilty.
That was because there were two solutions proposed to him back then.
Even if Eric made a clarification, they would not have much of a loss.
They just would not have the current gain.
However, Eric could not tell Selena because he would just be digging his own grave.
At that moment, Eric was looking forward to seeing a different reaction on her face.
It did not matter as long as she was not so calm.
However, Selena just listened to him calmly and nodded knowingly.
Eric did not know whether Selena believed him or not.
“Oh, I thought you were here to say goodbye to me.”
Selena sounded a little disappointed.
Eric’s face tensed. He paused and asked what he was thinking.
“Are you really willing to break up with me?”
He thought that she wanted to marry him before.
How could she still be so calm when she heard about his affair with another woman?
Selena smiled and looked at him calmly.
At that glance, she seemed a bit cold and indifferent.
“Mr. Ferguson, did you forget our agreement back then? We agreed on three things. Among them is that our relationship cannot be exposed. When we find our other half, our relationship will end immediately. If you’re getting married, we certainly won’t be able to keep this relationship. Although I can accept an underground relationship, I can’t accept being labeled a homewrecker. I believe that you’re the same.”
Every word Selena said was like a stone smashing into his heart.
It hurt, and it was uncomfortable.
That was because Selena was the one who threw the stone at him.
Eric looked into her eyes with a dark gaze.
For a moment, he could not understand what was going on.
Before this, Selena obviously liked him so much that she wanted to marry him.
After he finally dispelled that idea, how could she say these words so calmly now?
Was she sincere to herself?
It was clear that it was not appropriate to dwell on this issue now.
Eric’s eyes were dark and gloomy.
“I’m the same? You mean, if you meet the right person, you’ll break up with me?”
His voice was low and restrained.
Eric knew that he was about to lose control.
Selena tilted her head, looked at him, and suddenly smiled.
“You’re going off-topic. Are you going back in? If not, I have to go back and help. The bar just opened, and Chaz can’t handle everything on his own.”
Selena dismissed the topic as if nothing happened.
She did not want to delve into it.

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....
