“Let’s go…”Mr. Caldwell nodded, looked up at Eric, smiled calmly, and finally shifted his gaze to Selena.“We’ll take our leave, then. I wish you both happiness, Mr. Ferguson and Ms. Nelson.”This was Eric’s ultimate goal.Eric wanted everyone to know about his relationship with Selena.He made Mr. Caldwell bow his head and apologize, which was humiliating. That way, it would cut off any idea that the Caldwells have about wanting Taylor to marry Eric.Mr. Caldwell saw it from the very beginning. His silly daughter uttered cruel words and stopped all cooperation with Eric.This was Eric’s purpose.Mr. Caldwell was willing to cooperate because he knew that as long as Eric did not agree to it, Taylor would not be able to marry him even if she wanted to.Mr. Caldwell only came today just to test the waters.He saw the results and had nothing more to say.Selena also felt that Eric went overboard. Mr. Caldwell was not like Ivan.He was a kind and reasonable man.Selena felt a
Selena wanted to withdraw her hand, but she was also afraid of hurting Eric’s feelings.She patted Eric’s hand. “I don’t want to answer.”The elevator finally arrived, and the doors opened slowly.The waiter outside had been waiting for a long time and politely led them inside.“Mr. Ferguson, this way, please. Mr. Charles said he wants to meet you.”Eric was not surprised.He drove away the Caldwell family that Charles liked, so Charles must be annoyed right now.But, so what?Eric pursed his lips and squeezed Selena’s arm.“You can go and sit inside first. I’ll be back in a while. We can continue our conversation when we get home.”Perhaps he should not get to the bottom of it and find out what Selena was thinking.However, if he did not figure it out, he would always feel that there was a thorn in his heart.Selena smiled nonchalantly, but the smile did not reach her eyes.She turned and went to the cabin.There was no one in the huge banquet hall at the moment.She di
Selena smiled and blinked calmly.“If he can’t even handle that, then I trusted the wrong person. As for the future, I think that you’re getting ahead of me. After all, I don’t want to be with Eric for so long.”Selena chuckled and immediately stood up under Charles’s shocked gaze.“So, I won’t act like a good daughter-in-law who is willing to do anything to please your family. Mr. Ferguson, if you want to use this method to manipulate me, I’m afraid you have failed. I won’t be threatened by you, nor will I do you any favors. That’s because I have no expectations of Eric.”Selena smiled and walked out after that.Abbott could not help but widen his eyes.“Mr. Ferguson, look! This woman is so out of control. If a woman like her stays by Eric’s side, there will be big problems sooner or later.”Charles was silent and watched her departing back without saying a word.From that moment, he also saw a young and vivid memory of another woman.However, the woman in his memory was the
Why was it that Eric did not feel like Selena was his even when she was lying beside him?Eric did not sleep all night.The next day, when the doctors from the specialist team came to check on Eric, Selena was still asleep.Eric could see the light source out of the corner of his eye last night.Thus, the specialists had to know of this change in vision.Two hours later, the team of specialists breathed a sigh of relief.“Mr. Ferguson, your eyes have improved after just one month. This is a very good sign. You can use your left eye properly, and the blood clot in your right eye has begun to dissipate. You’ll probably regain your eyesight in a few days. However, your right eye socket still needs proper care. You must not bump into anything hard. Otherwise, the fracture will worsen.”Eric nodded slightly.The specialist smiled. “By the way, where is Ms. Nelson? She must be very happy if she knows this!”Every time before the consultation, Selena would wander around and worry abo
Selena left.Eric went downstairs.The servant knew that Eric’s left eye had recovered, so she did not have to be so careful anymore.“Mr. Ferguson, Ms. Nelson just said that she’s going to the bar.”Eric tightened his jaw with a gloomy face. His body was tense and cold.His eyes were deep and distant. “I know. I’m going to the office.”His driver had been waiting outside.Eric would not waste time.Selena invited everyone to a meal and gave everyone their compensation.Everyone was reluctant to part ways, which made it even sadder.Before eating, Chaz told her the advantages and disadvantages of the two options.If they chose to move, they would need to take a big risk and lose their old customers.That was because everyone only went to the bar for convenience and relaxation. They would not go to another location if it was too far.Moreover, the new location was closer to a residential building. The residents would complain about noise levels and report them if their slee
Eric would not say that out loud.He passed the cake to Chance and said indifferently, “Don’t eat sweets at night. Just look at it and don’t eat it.”Chance could only see it but not taste it.Chance froze slightly.He immediately looked sad.Selena twitched the corners of her mouth. Eric was such a Debbie downer.She coughed and walked over. “Just take a small bite, but remember to brush your teeth and put the rest downstairs.”Seeing that Eric did not object, Chance nodded happily.Chance left. Selena looked at Eric, opened the door, and walked in holding his arm.“Mr. Ferguson, are you making up the hours for all the medical leave that you took?”The corners of Eric’s mouth rose slightly. He sounded a little helpless and innocent.“There are too many things to do, so I had no choice. I will try to come back as soon as possible in the future.”Eric thought Selena was worried about him because he came back too late. That was why she complained so much.Such complaints sou
Selena glanced at Jennifer speechlessly and indifferently.Such words no longer had any effect on Selena.The mental discomfort at the beginning was just because Selena suddenly recalled the bad memories from her time with the Nelson family,Selena had already heard everything that Jennifer said to her before.She also thought about it.So, she was no longer angry or shocked.Selena knew better than anyone how unsuitable Eric and she were.Chaz could not listen to this anymore and said, “Why are you so foul-mouthed? Did you come out without brushing your teeth? Are you envious that Selena can be with Eric? That’s right! At least Selena can be with Eric. Eric won’t even look at you. No wonder all you can do is make sarcastic remarks here! Selena, let’s go. We shouldn’t deal with such people. She’s a psycho who hates people. Let’s ask Mr. Ferguson for help!”Chaz pulled Selena and turned around to leave.Before he turned around, Jennifer provoked them.“You two are really good
Sure enough, Mr. Griffin stood there with a pale and scrunched-up face.He was stunned for a few seconds. Then, he gulped and quickly said, “Mr. Ferguson, don’t keep the time! I’ll leave right now…”Mr. Griffin took his things and ran out as fast as he could.“I left! I left!”When the bar fell silent, Selena could not help but laugh out loud.“Okay, he’s gone now. You can hang up.”Selena said to the man on the phone.“Wait a minute. Um, Selena, what color flowers do you like?”Selena was speechless.She thought she had misheard him and wondered if there was something wrong with her ears.As a result, Eric asked again patiently, “What color of flowers do you like?”Selena pursed her lips. “Why? Do you want to buy me flowers? Just get me any color. I guess it depends on what the old lady on the street sells.”After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone.Selena thought it was a little funny.The flowers that Eric bought her last time were unsold leftover flowers fro
