“I knew you’d been coveting me for a long time. Don’t try to stay by my side through crooked ways. I’m not interested in a woman like you!”
Eric said coldly.
He tried his best to suppress the strange feeling in his heart.
He told himself to be calm and rational.
It must be because he had not touched a woman for so long.
Selena nodded seriously.
“Okay. It’s my fault. Just take it as I’ve lost my mind. It’s not like I haven’t seen a man before!”
Selena rolled her eyes speechlessly and thought, ‘So what if I kissed him? He sounded like I stole his virginity! It’s not like I kissed a married man or a monk. Was he that great? I was just confused for a moment!’
Eric casually looked up and raised his eyebrows slightly.
“Oh, of course you’ve seen it before. Did your heart beat faster when you were with Derek Norton?”
This question made the temperature in the room drop to a freezing point.
Selena’s good mood completely crashed.
With a shocked expression on her face, she slowly turned her head to look at Eric.
Her eyes were a little cold and distant.
It was as if someone had poured ice water on her head and her embarrassing wound, which had not yet healed. Then, he took it out and ridiculed her with it, which caught her off guard.
Look.
Selena always thought that she got over it, but the fact was that she would always be traumatized by her past.
Others would always remind her how unlucky and miserable she was back then.
Selena looked at Eric for more than ten seconds before she slowly turned her head away.
She lowered her head to pick up the slippers on the ground.
She kept quiet and did not talk back or refute.
Such a reaction from Selena was unfamiliar to Eric.
Eric regretted it the moment he said it.
He thought that Selena would curse at him, and he was already prepared for it, but no.
She said nothing.
The light outside the window enveloped her and shone on the ends of her messy hair. The gentle light scattered in the room and made the air warmer.
However, such silence made Eric feel uneasy.
Eric felt that he had lost his wits to compare himself to garbage like Derek Norton.
Just as he was about to say something, Selena had already squatted down to take her slippers, put them on indifferently, and walked into the bathroom.
Eric’s eyes gradually dimmed. He looked a little gloomy.
Unknowingly, his palms were sweating. He was nervous and apprehensive.
The complex emotions surged in him, which was a strange feeling.
Eric was sure that he did not like Selena.
In his heart, Nicole was still the most important person.
At least, he knew that he did not yet have a change of heart.
However, Eric also seemed to realize that he did not hate Selena.
Not hating her meant that he could not hurt her.
Just now, he overstepped his bounds.
Selena quickly came out of the bathroom.
She had freshened up and looked rejuvenated.
However, Selena did not even look at Eric and went inside to get changed.
Eric grabbed the quilt nervously. When Mitchell called, he was not in the mood to answer it.
That feeling as if his heart and lungs were scratched was tormenting.
He knew that he did something wrong, but he did not know how to apologize.
Mitchell called persistently, so Eric finally answered it in a cold voice.
“Speak.”
“Mr. Ferguson, what’s going on?”
“Just say what you need to.”
“Oh, Larry Yeager came here just now to ask about you. I took care of it and pushed back your social engagements for the time being. Do you need to go to the hospital for a checkup?”
