Chance bit his lower lip and felt even more bewildered.Eric spoke impatiently.“That Zachary guy isn’t a good person. Do you want Selena to be with that kind of scumbag? He’s a two-faced person. Do you know why Selena’s bar was closed some time ago? It was all because of that Zachary guy!”After Eric finished what he said, Chance’s eyes widened in shock, and he was speechless.Eric looked at him seriously. His voice was deep.“Now, do you still think they’re a good match? Do you want to watch as Selena falls into his trap and gets cheated on? Do you want her to be bullied like she was in her previous marriage?”Chance’s face turned pale in an instant. He stood there anxiously, and his eyes suddenly turned red.Seeing this, Eric lowered his eyes slightly, squatted down on one knee, and met Chance’s gaze.His tone was solemn, and he seemed to be coaxing Chance.“So, I think by letting her be your mommy, we can at least protect her, right? I’ve helped her so many times, so I cer
The three of them walked out side by side.Chance also looked left and right, seemingly looking for something.When Selena asked him, Chance answered solemnly, “I’m looking around to see if Daddy is hiding somewhere. What if he comes to pick me up?”Selena sneered.“Stop dreaming. Your dad is considered nice to allow you into the house. How can he come back to pick you up? I don’t even dare to think about it on your behalf!”Chance silently lowered his head and thought, ‘Aunt Selena really understands Daddy!’However, Chance felt a little guilty. After all, he made up this excuse and made Eric seem like a ruthless person.He hoped that his dad would not blame him when he found out.He only did it for Aunt Selena’s sake.Chance thought it through. Instead of letting Selena fall in love with those unreliable men, it would be better for her to be his stepmother!At least, Eric would provide for Selena. Even though Eric was sharp-tongued, he would not deceive Selena like other me
That was why Selena put the focus of Eric’s offense on his impoliteness for not knocking on the door.How frustrating.Selena took a deep breath and did not even bother to change. She fixed her clothes and went out.Eric stood tall beside the railing and looked down.He was holding a cigarette in his hand that he had just lit. His expression was inscrutable as his face was in the shadows.Hearing the movement, Eric turned his head and frowned slightly when he saw that Selena had not changed her clothes.However, he did not ask about it. Selena was probably still angry and wanted to scold him to vent her anger.Eric paused. His throat moved slightly, and he averted his eyes guiltily.Selena came out with her arms folded, glanced at Eric, and walked downstairs without saying anything.Eric froze slightly. His voice was deep and low.“Selena, let’s talk.”Selena paused. She turned slightly sideways and looked at him strangely and coldly.“Didn’t you come to pick up your son? H
Selena thought about it and was surprised for a moment.“How do you know?”Soon, she figured it out. Chance knew about it, and Eric had been to those places, but they just did not see each other.It meant that Eric saw them and did not say hello.Eric stared at her and laughed softly.“You’re really quick to abandon me, huh?”Selena was caught off guard by this sudden accusation.She wanted to jump up in anger and prove her innocence.“Don’t spout nonsense! There’s nothing between us, so don’t accuse me indiscriminately!”Eric’s lips were tightly pursed.“You’ve been sleeping on my bed and even kissed me. I don’t think you don’t have feelings for me!”Eric stretched out his hand and suddenly pinched Selena’s delicate chin. The tenderness and softness of her chin under his fingertips felt exceptionally good.He brought this up again.Selena was so angry that she almost cursed at him. She did not realize how imaginative he was.She did not want to make their relationship to
Selena did not pay attention and sat on Eric’s lap all of a sudden.She was startled. Just as she was about to stand up, a pair of large hands wrapped around her waist from behind. Her body tingled all over as if an electric current passed through her.Her face turned completely red in an instant.“Eric, let me go!”If he had not said that, she might just hit him, but he was still injured because of her.If she hit him again, the wound might be bigger, and Eric would not let her go.Eric leaned into the back of her neck. His warm fragrance instantly enveloped her, but he did not seem to be forcing her to do anything.On the contrary, he sounded a bit relieved and tired.He said in a deep voice, “I didn’t say this to frame him. He must have said bad things about me, right?”Selena chuckled and endured the numbness behind her ears. She forced herself to escape from such seductive masculinity.“You’re so petty. Zach didn’t say a single bad word about you and even praised you for
At least until Eric figured out his feelings, he had to keep Selena.His voice was slightly hoarse and magnetic.In this small room, it was indeed easy to sway people’s hearts.It sounded romantic, but Selena raised her eyebrows and laughed after she got over the shock.“Special? Am I special because I look like Nicole? Or is it because I have repeatedly rejected you?”As soon as she asked this, the air froze instantly.When Eric heard that name, his heart suddenly shrank. His expression also changed subtly.Selena had always known about him and Nicole, so how could she stay indifferent?However, why should Eric care if Selena minded it?Eric’s heart was already a mess. However, to Selena, his silence was an acquiescence.Look, Cindy Yeager was right.Selena was just a stand-in.How could such a vulgar thing happen to her?Selena smiled as if she had seen through him and took a deep breath.She even felt sorry for Eric, who was so deeply in love with Nicole.However, Eri
Eric felt a little distressed.Was Selena scared of his threat?Eric lowered his head and buried it in the crook of Selena’s neck. He remained that for a few minutes, but Selena did not dare to move. He even hoped that time would stand still like this.However, it would not.He slowly got off her and straightened his messy clothes.He glanced at her and pursed his lips. His chiseled face was somewhat unapproachable, and his voice was low and cold.“I don’t want to threaten you with anything. I don’t care about the bar or that boy toy. It’s best if you can think through it by yourself, but if you can’t, I can help you.”He was hinting at her coldly.How could Selena not understand his warning?“You’re despicable!”Selena quickly jolted up and punched the bed to vent her dissatisfaction.“What’s the difference between you and a robber?”Eric smiled, but his eyes were a little cold.“The difference is that the robbers will just do it without warning, and I’m asking for your o
“I’m not at a disadvantage?” Selena asked back.“I don’t like him, but I still have to be with him. Isn’t that a disadvantage? What’s the difference between him and Derek Norton?”Selena remained calm.Chaz paused and sighed,“How can a scum like Derek be compared with Mr. Ferguson? Don’t get fooled by Mr. Ferguson’s usual appearance and think that he’s rich but stupid. Mr. Ferguson isn’t the kind of person who would belittle women.”“Judging by the way you speak for him, I think you wish to be his mistress!”Selena could not help but mutter.Chaz did not mind what she said and smiled. “It’s a pity that he doesn’t like men. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend myself as his bedmate!”Selena rolled her eyes angrily.She sat on the balcony, looked at the dark sky outside, and sighed.“I still want to choose Zachary. He likes me and will definitely treat me well. Eric loves someone else. If it ends badly, I’ll lose my heart and money. What a sh*tty deal! What’s more, I like t
