Selena finished speaking.
The silence in the study seemed to be magnified.
Eric’s pupils enlarged slightly.
He was mentally prepared and thought of countless reasons.
It just did not occur to him that she would say this.
Love.
They had never discussed this topic.
Love?
Eric pondered. Maybe. That kind of dazed feeling and pleasure could be called love.
However, Eric had been avoiding this feeling. He admitted that he liked Selena, but deep down, he was trying his best to avoid the exposure and transfer of such feelings.
His love and the person he loved were in the past. There was only one person he ever loved, and that was Nicole.
Did he dare to admit that he transferred this love to Selena?
Eric was afraid that he made a mistake he would regret.
Marriage and interests were separate from this relationship.
He did not want to touch this long-abandoned emotion, so he only admitted that he liked Selena.
The way he liked her was different from other women.
Selena was the only woman other than Nicole who could capture his heart.
But love?
It was not that hard to admit it.
After thinking for a few seconds, Eric came up with an answer that was the best of both worlds.
He smiled slightly. Half of his face was in the shadows. His eyes were pitch black, as if they could melt into the boundless night outside.
His facial features were three-dimensional and handsome. Today, he was a little gentle and intimate.
“Of course.”
When Selena heard this answer, she twitched her lips mockingly.
Selena suddenly leaned forward, approached him, and put her hands on his face.
She carefully outlined his face, but she could not find any flaws in his stern features.
The darkness in his eyes was like a fog. He was always like this when he refused to let others see through his thoughts.
Selena still knew him well.
“Eric…”
She said his name but did not continue.
Then, she suddenly stood up and came around to his side.
Eric’s eyebrows twitched slightly, and his heart sank for a moment.
The next second, Selena opened the bottom drawer, took out a photo, and put it on the desk.
However, she did not look at the photo.
Selena did not look, but she knew who was in the picture.
As expected, Eric’s complexion turned glum.
What he said just now felt like a slap in the face.
The scar that he was desperately trying to hide was forcefully exposed. The wound broke.
It was embarrassing.
Selena never believed him.
She laughed and lightly tapped her finger on the table.
“Eric, you don’t love me, and you’re not using me. You just got married for the sake of getting married, so don’t deceive yourself. Don’t try to brainwash me either. I’m more sober than you.”
She stood up slowly and did not want to speak so bluntly.
If Eric answered more frankly, she would be sympathetic, but he lied.
Then, he should not blame her for being harsh.
“Marriage is just superficial. I can cooperate with you if you need me to, but you can’t restrict me in anything. As for when we’ll get divorced, that depends on when we get tired of each other.”
Selena breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and left the study without looking at him.

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....
