Chapter 508

I‘ll Make It up to You

Eric’s lootsteps approached,

*Scram.”

The casually spoken word was like an invisible pressure over Xander’s head, making him unable to
fight back.

Xander had the sense to stop resisting and ran away swiftly with a pale face…

He could go back and cozy up to Nicole again later, but he could not offend Eric

Ferguson!

Nicole did not care about Xander’s departure. She did not expect a sissy like him to have that much of
a backbone, but she did not expect him to run so quickly either

She flipped her hair casually and turned to look at Eric expressionlessly.

“You scared my man away, Mr. Ferguson. You’re really capable, aren’t you?”

Eric’s eyes were deep and dark, and there was a faint emotion suppressed inside.

Nicole could not tell what it was, and she

did not want to find out either.

However, she watched as the corners of his eyes turned red. His lips were also pale and sickly, making
his temperament seem slightly weaker than usual.

**I’ll make it up to you.”



His voice was low and hoarse.

She did not understand.

Eric stepped forward and towered above her.

She could clearly see the dense sorrow that brewed in the redness of his eyes.

“I can make it up by giving myself to you.”

Nicole was willing to accept his lookalike.

Why was she unwilling to accept him?

When Eric looked at that double’s lowly attempts to ingratiate himself to her, Eric was so disgusted that
he wanted to kick Xander away

However, he could not help but want to see if Nicole would be tolerant of a double

who looked so much like him.

Sure enough, she was.

She could tolerate someone who looked like him. She could taunt or joke around, a s long as it was not
him.

At that moment, Eric suddenly thought that he was so pathetic!

Despair swept over him and engulfed himi n the darkness. He could only watch her shine brightly but
could never reach her.



That damned lookalike even dared to come near her and ogled at her with greed and desire in his
eyes.

Eric could not stand it any longer.

Nicole shorted softly. Her eyes were ice cold when she looked at him. “I can’t afford you.”

The pleasant voice was devoid of warmth.

Eric’s face was tense as he desperately tried to control his emotions.

However, he could not hold back his composure that was crumbling inch by inch.

Nicole continued to stab knives into his heart. “You’re a liar. Does it feel good to play me like a fool

She pressed forward.

Eric’s expression froze, and his dim eyes finally seemed to compromise.

“I’m sorry.”

Nicole looked at him silently.

Eric raised his eyes, which were filled with guilt and endless selfishness. My leg was already recovered
when I came back from Santos Island, but I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want to lose the chance to
be close to you. I don’t want my leg to recover. That way, I could see you all the time.”

Nicole frowned, ‘Huh…”

Eric was silent for a while. “Also, I didn’t instruct Keith to be so talkative in front of Clayton. He acted on
his own initiative and betrayed me. I won’t let him off the hook.”



His voice was frigid. He grew furious at the mention of this matter.

Keith, his best friend, actually dragked him through the mud this time.

It was unforgivable!

The corners of Nicole’s lips curled into a cold smile.

After that incident, Keith sent her some essay-length messages from time to time just to “whitewash”
Eric.

She never replied.

There was no use crying over spilled milk.

Did they think she would believe it?

“Mr. Ferguson, what’s the use of saying this now?”

Nicole was speechless. If she had not found out that his leg was recovered, how long would he
continue to pretend?



Chapter 509 Make Him Take the Blame

Eric’s eyes were sunken and dark as he looked at her with guilt.

He already regretted lying to Nicole, but how could he make up for it?

Nicole did not want to look at him anymore and walked past him. In any case, she no longer had to
hide from him, so she would just hang around for a while before leaving



Eric watched her leave as if they were strangers. Their relationship seemed to return to the time when
they were just divorced

That coldness could freeze one’s heart.

However, he had put in so much effort to gradually repair their relationship into something normal. How
could he just watch as he went back to square one?

Eric took a few steps forward and tried to chase after her, but a man suddenly ran u p from behind him
in a panic.

“Eric, listen to me. Why didn’t you answer my calls?”

Ever since that incident, Eric blocked Keith

He was prepared never to see Keith again.

Keith would not wait idly for his impending death. Eric did not acquire his company, which meant that
he was leaving Keith some leeway.

After all, they were close friends. He was not like Yannick Zabinski

They were good brothers!

Keith always joined in the fun whenever something happened in the circle. He was worried about not
being able to meet Eric since the latter blocked him, so he immediately ran over when he heard that
Eric would be attending Miles Kavanagh’s birthday party.

He was not this dedicated even when he was chasing skirts in the past.

Nicole disappeared the moment Eric got distracted.



There was a suffocating feeling in Eric’s heart as he glanced coldly at Keith, who caught up to him

Eric felt that he was too lenient to Keith.

Keith was dressed nicely and looked like the typical frivolous trust fund kid. His casual temperament
was completely different from Eric’s style.

He went up with a smile. “Eric, did your finger slip and accidentally block me?”

What a wonderful excuse!

Eric said, “Get lost…”

Keith froze and gritted his teeth. He was relentless. “I already explained it to Nicole. I really didn’t mean
to. I was just s O scared when she asked me that. You know that she has my nudes…”

He secretly lowered his voice at the end.

Eric frowned with a cold and annoyed gaze. “So, I’m supposed to take the blame for what you did?”

Keith pursed his lips and was silent for a few seconds. “I did it to drive a wedge between Clayton and
Nicole for you. Although I didn’t succeed and even ended up dragging you down, L…”

He.winally could not think olany CONSE

Eric did not want to hear him babbling OIL How annoying!

Nicole stood on the balcony, enjoying the breze. She could see the various situations below at a
glance. Her slender and beautiful fingers held the wine glass. Her elegance stunned the person next to
her

Miles smiled and followed her gaze.



“I’m really sorry. I didn’t think that Nathaniel would invite people you don’t wish to see.”

Nicole raised her brows indifferently.” It‘s your birthday. It’s fine as long as you’re happy.”

Besides, even without Nathaniel, Eric could go wherever he wanted unhindered with his ability.

After chatting with Miles for a while, a waiter holding a large bouquet of delicate roses suddenly walked
towards Nicole.

It seemed like he was deliberately trying t.

He did indexatint the attention of այլ “Կվլիկ,

Nicole’s mouth stiffened as she stood there in silence.

The water revealed his face from behind the large bouqurt with difficulty and passed her a card that
was stuck between the flowers.

“Ms. Stanton, someone asked me to pass this to you”

Nicole did not give him a hard time and took the card.

She glanced at it.

It read.

[Dear Ms. Stanton,May I invite you to dinner tonight? I’ll be waiting for you downstairs.– Xander.]

Nicole especially took a glance at the signature. Yes, it was Xander, the person who had just fled frorn
Eric earlier.
