The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 1469

Nicole hesitated. Eric calling her at this time was definitely not for business matters.

However, there was nothing to talk about between them regarding private matters.

Nicole was suddenly a little annoyed.

She held the phone and hesitated.

With a slip of the hand, the call was connected.

Her heart skipped a beat as she felt guilty.

However, she soon regained her composure and thought, 'So what if I answer his call?'

"Nicole..."

Eric’s voice was low and raspy. It was unbelievably heavy.

Nicole was silent for a few seconds before she spoke." Mr. Ferguson, what do you want?"

Eric took a deep breath. His voice was deep, tired, and helpless. "I'm sorry."

This "sorry" did not sound like an apology for what he did in the past.

Rather, it felt like it was for today.

Nicole pursed her lips. "The past is long gone. I just saw the news online and should say congratulations,

right?"

This kind of reaction was the most normal, right?

Eric was silent for a full minute. Over the phone, Nicole could feel Eric’s depressed mood.

However, she could not do anything about it.

At that moment, Nicole clutched the phone.

"If there’s nothing, I'm hanging up..."

"Nicole...” Eric laughed lightly and continued, "You really know how to hurt me."

Eric did not feel that hopeless for the whole incident, but that "congratulations" from Nicole was extremely hurtful.

It was painfully suffocating.

Nicole stiffened for a moment. She did not know what to say, and she could not say anything else.

Eric finally calmed down. "Forget it. It's good to hear your voice.”

Nicole paused, then hung up the phone.
