The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2274

The waiter came over and asked politely, “Would you like to order something?”

Nicole smiled. “No thanks.”

The waiter politely retreated.

Eric did not seem to care if Nicole stayed for dinner because he did not expect her to.

Nicole glanced at him. “If there’s nothing else, I’m going back first.”

Eric looked in a certain direction quietly. It took a few seconds before he spoke.

“Why not go to him?”

Nicole pursed her lips and took a deep breath.

“I’ve looked for him many times. This time, I want to wait for him to come to me.”

“Aren’t you afraid that he’ll die?”

Eric asked back.

Nicole said, “He won’t want to die so easily.”

He still had so many precious things – Chatty, Nicole, and his family. So, how could he be willing to die?

With that, Nicole stood up.

She said all that she came to say.

Eric should be able to understand.

Eric looked at her with a bit of forbearance.

“Nicole, if he hadn’t shown up in your life…”

Nicole paused and interrupted him.

“No.”

Eric was silent.

She knew what he wanted to ask, and her answer was something he did not want to hear.

If Clayton had not shown up in Nicole’s life, would Eric have had a chance with her?

Could they be together without hindrance?

Nicole’s answer was “no”.

Even without Clayton, they would not be together.

They had a failed marriage once, so it was not worth trying a second time.

Love did not need a reason.

Nicole left. Her slender back was eye-catching.

Eric looked at her back with watery eyes.

He was unreconciled.

Eric was so close. If Clayton was dead, Eric could have Nicole.

Who would have thought that Jeff Lieberman was Clayton?

Eric did not know why he had such a ridiculous idea to do the DNA test on a whim.

What was even more surprising was that his ridiculous idea came true.

Eric was complacent, and it was an empty dream.

Time seemed to pass slowly in the dark.

The whole restaurant was silent.

Nicole did not even take a second look at the things he carefully prepared.

Not to mention, she did not notice his injured heart.

Just as the waiter was about to see if Eric needed anything, the waiter saw that Eric had covered his face with one hand, and his shoulders were trembling slightly as if he was crying...

Nicole returned to the villa.

When she was alone in the room, her heart gradually calmed down.

It turned out that Eric had been one step ahead of her and confirmed what she wanted to know.

It looked like there was no need to go to Camille to get his DNA specimen.

Nicole looked out the window. Clayton was not dead, and that was what mattered.

Her tears fell unknowingly as if she could no longer hold back.

She thought about depressing things when she was lonely.

Was he safe?

She did not know.

However, she knew that if she forcefully brought him back, he would not admit that he was Clayton.

Early the next morning, Nicole and her family boarded the plane and returned to Mediania.

Floyd was so excited that he wanted to go to the airport to pick them up in person. However, Aida and Grant persuaded him not to.
