Captive Hearts: The Tycoon's Ugly Bride novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16 A Shallow Man

As she turned her head, Blanche noticed that Eric had come closer and was staring at her intensively.

Eric was taken aback by her stunning beauty and couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart as he gazed into her bright eyes. Her forehead was smooth and fair, and he had the urge to move closer.

Blanche stepped back and touched her face. "Why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

Eric was enchanted by her fingers, which were also beautiful. His gaze moved downward, taking in her slender swan-like neck, which seemed to glow in the sunlight.

A broad smile spread across his face, revealing his pearly white teeth. "They say you're ugly. Can you take off your mask and let me see what you really look like?"

Somewhat inexplicably, he found himself utterly captivated by the allure of Blanche.

As Eric came closer, Blanche furrowed her brow. She was already pressed against the fence and had nowhere else to go.

She glanced at him and narrowed her eyes. "Don't come any closer. But do you really want to see?"

Eric obediently stopped and looked at her expectantly. "Yes, I do."

"Okay, I'll show you."

Blanche seemed to be moved by Eric's eagerness and reached up to remove her mask.

As he Watched this scene, Louis' eyes were about to spout fire. His eyes twitched twice.

"Sir, Mrs. Herbart seems unaware of the dangers of society. Shall I step in and intervene?" Sam asked.

But Louis was unmoved. He was feeling conflicted at the moment.

He was about to see Blanche's face without her mask, and he felt both angry and oddly jealous. How could this woman reveal her face in front of others?

Blanche blinked and pulled the string on her mask. "Don't blink, and I'll only show you once. If you miss it, it's not my fault."

Eric's heart was racing. "Okay."

Just as she was about to remove her mask, two angry voices suddenly spoke up.

"What are you two doing!" Louis' voice was harsh and abrupt, as he appeared in front of them.

"If you want to see me make a fool of myself, there's no need for you to stick around." Blanche also let go of the string on her mask and curled her finger to deliver a sharp punch to Eric's head.
