Chapter 1681 Provoke Him
Eric looked at her with sympathy. “There are plenty of fish in the sea, so why obsess over Sven?”
Sven, the bodyguard, was unlike any other he had known. His aura outshone many, truly making him stand out from the crowd.
“You simply don't understand. For a woman like me, having him as my boyfriend feels like a dream.” Charlotte knew she was ordinary.
She was truly enamored with Sven. In her heart, Sven was akin to the leading man she'd seen on television.
Eric handed her back the ring. “Here, take this. Consider it a consolation.”
Eric had always been generous. Besides, for someone like him who didn't even have a girlfriend, this diamond ring was essentially useless.
Charlotte should have been happy, yet she couldn't bring herself to feel happy. “I don't want it. I want to wait for the person I love to give me something like a diamond ring.”
For the first time in his life, Eric had been rejected by a girl when he tried to give her a gift. He began to question his own charm. Could it be that I'm really less appealing than a bodyguard?
“Let's do this. Since you've broken up anyway, so why not become my pretend girlfriend? I'll even pay you,” Eric suggested. “You're upset, aren't you? Make Sven feel the same way. You can use me to provoke him a bit. I'm a popular celebrity, you know. If Sven finds out that you started dating me right after your breakup, he'll be livid. Haven't you watched TV dramas? Many women use this tactic to make men think they're highly sought after.”
Charlotte, with a face streaked with tears and a runny nose, looked at Eric. “Will this work?”
“Anyway, you two have already broken up, so there's no harm in trying,” retorted Eric.
The two fools formulated their strategy.
Outside, Lucille was observing the situation. She returned to Cecilia's office and began discussing the events that were unfolding there with Cecilia. “I feel like Eric is leading Lottie astray.”
“What do you mean?” Cecilia asked.
“I can't really put my finger on it, but those two have been acting quite secretive. I have no clue what they're up to,” said Lucille.
“Don't worry. Eric isn't a bad person,” replied Cecilia.
“All right, then.”

The readers' comments on the novel: When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel)
Didn’t you promised 2 chapters a day? Please, don’t forget us!...
I love this story, but don’t you think finishing the chapter in the middle is too annoying? I know you have lots of characters to develop and I all of them have a lot of importance, however when you return them, it seems 100 years to remember. How about Vivian pregnancy. Did she tell to her husband and George? Did Nathaniel forget that Adrian and Miranda tried to hurt Cecilia. It looks like he doesn’t care??? I would have prosecuted them (or kill them, lol). The kids have been completely forgotten by their parents. Don’t you think Nathaniel must be warned about Cassandra doings? Don’t you think she is going to hurt Ceci again? Why isn’t Sven keeping close eyes in Cecilia? Isn’t Nathaniel too much blind about this? And more important of everything: isn’t this book a romance? How about the development of the couple romance? I miss the looks, the sudden increase of heart beats, a kiss reciprocated without interference. Oh my ! Please don’t finish this history with a wedding party and all of them were happy forever! They should fall in love again and it takes time and care. Thank you for your attention and patience. Sorry if I bother you, I just want some passion to keep this story interesting. I started another book some weeks ago because I couldn’t read only 2 or 3 chapters a day( let alone one), but I still have faith in this love story. Hope you are healthy and inspired to make it great. Good luck!!!...
Wish they would update more pages than 1, 2, or 3....
