The Divorced Billionaire Heiress novel Chapter 40

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress chapter 40

When Nicole heard her name, she froze for a moment. She did not want to have anything to do with Eric Ferguson, but this situation was out of her control and she felt everyone’s eyes on her at this moment.

The awkward relationship between them after their divorce added to the mystery of this coincidental cooperation.

Eric also did not expect this. Without a doubt, this was Gerard’s doing.

Nicole was still in a pickle when Eric walked to her. He was exuding a cool aura as he bent slightly and reached out, inviting Nicole to the dance floor.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on the pair.

There was no way Nicole could reject Eric’s invitation because she did not want to leave a negative impact at the beginning of their three-way cooperation.

Grant gave his baby sister a heartfelt look. Nicole smiled faintly, then stretched out her hand to take Eric’s.

The people in front of them consciously made way for the pair. Nicole carried her dress with her other hand and walked forward without looking at Eric. Eric’s palm was slightly cold. At that moment, he suddenly realized that in their three years of marriage, they had never held a wedding ceremony and he had never taken the initiative to hold her hand. This was the first time they held hands.

Nicole’s fingers were long and beautiful, like a work of art. Her hand was warm and delicate, and he immediately etched this feeling in his heart.

The band began the next song at the right time. The refreshing and cheerful music echoed in the banquet hall.

The moment Nicole’s hand landed on Eric’s shoulder, their eyes met momentarily. Eric’s dark and deep gaze was affixed to her face. When his hand rested on her slim waist, Nicole’s body stiffened for a moment as she felt very uncomfortable.

The two of them had never been this close in their three years of marriage. Being here like this after the divorce was also really unexpected.

Nicole merely took a few seconds to regain her composure. She then put a fake and indifferent smile on her face.

Their good footwork, confident posture, and humility, completely captured the audience’s eyes while the music from the center of the stage drowned out their conversation.
