After all, Ingrid was now very wretched and could not come out of the bathroom for a while.
Eric looked at Nicole with a deep gaze. There was a complex emotion and scrutiny in his sharp features.
"Why didn't you say anything when my family treated you like this?"
"What?" Nicole raised her eyebrows. Her eyes were indifferent and she did not expect him to say that.
"Why didn't you ever tell me?"
'If she had told me, I'd have stopped my family from doing this to her...I definitely would.'
Eric scrutinized her with his stunning eyes as if he did not want to let go of any hint of emotion on her face.
Nicole laughed. "It's all in the past and we're divorced now. I don't want to mention it again.”
'What's the use of talking about it? They will only humiliate me more...'
"Since we're already divorced, what's the harm of talking about it? You should at least let me know why you wanted a divorce for no reason, right?” The man suppressed his violently beating heart in his chest and looked at her with a dark gaze.
"For no reason?" Nicole hooked up her lips and repeated these three words.
'What a joke!'
She put away the smile on her face. Her gaze was clear and cold as she glanced at him. "Eric Ferguson, have we ever met in private in the past three years? Have you ever given me a chance?"
'Wasn't he the one who acquiesced to all the bullying that others did to me?'
Every time they met, he had a business-like attitude. All he ever mentioned was Wendy Quade. Nicole felt tormented by that name.
Suddenly, Nicole recalled the time they had just gotten married. She did not understand why Eric was deliberately being cold to her and began to learn how t o be a virtuous wife. Every day, she would prepare meals and wait for him to come home. She was afraid t o disturb his work, so she dared not even call him.
However, Eric would not come home for several days i n a row, so Nicole could not resist sending him a text message asking if he wanted to try her cooking. She never got a reply.
The countless attempts and gestures of goodwill yet getting repeatedly slapped in the face made her feel exhausted and worthless.
Later, when Nicole got used to Eric's cold shoulder, she learned that she was destined to be alone in their new house and that he would never come back.
They each had their own purpose in this marriage.
Now, Nicole finally freed herself from the past yet he wanted an answer?
If he had treated her as a wife, his family and friends would not dare to laugh so blatantly at her wishful thinking.
'Wasn't he the one who took the lead to humiliate me?’
These words pierced his heart like a needle, which gave off a dense soreness in his chest. Eric frowned." You actually had many opportunities to tell me..."
'So it's my fault?' Nicole sneered.
