Ch. 2491..2500

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2491-Eric raised his eyebrows lightly and pointed at himself. He looked smug for seeing through her thoughts.

The first thing he did when he came back from a business trip was to go to the bar to see Selena.

As a result, Selena went into another man’s car and compared him with her scumbag ex-husband, Derek Norton.

This humiliation was still vivid in Eric's mind, i

How could he not see through Selena's thoughts?

Although Eric was excited, he was too proud to allow others to trample on his dignity.

Selena blinked and took a deep breath.

Look, Eric was always so vengeful and calculating!

She paused and gritted her teeth.

"How many times do I have to say that I was the one who dumped him? Don't spout nonsense!"

Eric chuckled and did not believe her.

Selena turned away to hide her embarrassment.

"Forget it. Just pretend I didn't say anything just now."

She did have the intention of accepting Zachary and only gave up on him because of this accident.

However, it was unfair to Eric.

Eric calmly stood in front of her again and said with a deep and mellow voice, "I already heard it. What you said can't be taken back. Got it?"

Selena frowned. A blush crept across her delicate face.

"Then what can I do? I didn’t treat you as a rebound! You were never an option anyway! Mm..."

Before Selena finished speaking, she felt a strong hand holding the back of her neck, which forced her to raise her head. Then, a domineering and intense kiss came at her.

Her astonishment and bewilderment were reflected in the man's dark eyes.

In the next second, Eric loosened his grip, but his lips and tongue were still entangled with hers. Eric deepened the kiss and immersed himself in it.

After the shock, Selena slowly closed her eyes, and her soft lips responded to Eric's intense kiss.

Selena felt that she was drinking high-grade liquor. She was a little drunk and groggy.

They finally tore off their stubborn act and gradually approached each other with their softest and kindest sides.

The kiss lasted for a long time.

They desperately asked and gave each other what they wanted.

Eric finally let Selena go. His Adam's apple slid up and down. Although he still wanted more, he wanted to give her a chance to breathe.

Selena leaned against him breathlessly. Her cheeks were flushed, and her vision was a little blurred.

Just one kiss changed the dynamic between them.

The man calmed down. His voice was low and hoarse. He was reluctant to let go of Selena, but he clenched his fists and restrained himself.

"You should rest. I’ll go to the study."

Eric also thought about her leg injury, so he did not want to touch her now.

Selena paused and frowned slightly. The blush on her face faded, and she looked up at him.

How could Eric be so calm at this time?

Eric stood up and wanted to leave, but Selena held his arm tightly. She looked at him with pitiful and reluctant eyes.

Her eyes were bright and a little dazed.

"Do you really want to go?"

She seemed aggrieved. She knelt to look into his eyes, her arms around his shoulders, kissed his ear softly, and whispered, "Are you still leaving?"

Eric could not resist her coquettish behavior.

She kissed him as she spoke, which was so alluring. Eric's body stiffened, and his dark eyes seemed to be on fire.

Finally, the moment she lightly bit his earlobe, the last thread in Eric's mind became tense and suddenly snapped.

The man's arm suddenly tightened around Selena's slender waist. His grip was so tight that he could easily break her. They were so close and intimate.

Eric continued the unfinished kiss just now. However, because of Selena's initiative, Eric's hands were more reckless as they roamed around her body. He also allowed her to do the same.

Neither of them was shy as they greedily pined for each other's bodies.

Selena still had the upper hand at the beginning, but gradually, Eric took the dominant position.

Eric kept her up all night as if he would not get tired. Selena was already so exhausted that she could not lift her fingers, but Eric was still savoring his gift slowly.

Bright fireworks lit up in the pitch-black sky countless times before Selena’s eyes and in her mind as they made love to their heart's content.

It was dreamy, tiring, but satisfying.

The bright moonlight fell on Selena’s fair and tender skin which was now covered with red marks.

Selena was very satisfied with her first genuine sexual experience in her life.

However, Eric went a little overboard, i

Gradually, the stars gradually dimmed.

It was almost dawn when they finally fell asleep.

Soon, the sky was bright. However, none of the servants downstairs dared to disturb the couple.

The second floor was well insulated, so the servants could not hear a thing.

However, Selena had stayed for a few days last time, and she had already revealed her identity as the future lady of the house.

Thus, no one dared to take the initiative to knock on their door.

As usual, Chance went to school with breakfast. He asked the servant, "Has Aunt Selena left yet?"

The servant hesitated to explain, so Chance had no choice but to leave first.

The sun outside was blinding.

Since Eric was used to getting up early, he was already awake.

The tenderness in his arms reminded him of his madness and loss of control last night.

Some missing corner deep inside him seemed to be filled, and he felt satisfied.

Eric did not realize that he was smiling.

He lay on the bed for a while, but the woman in his arms showed no signs of waking up.

Selena's schedule was upside down, and she was too tired from last night, so she did not want to get up early.

Eric carefully moved her head to the pillow, pulled back his numb arm, and waited for a while to feel better.

Selena just rolled over and continued to sleep.

Eric smiled helplessly before he got out of bed. 1

He took his phone and looked at the email Mitchell sent him. He was supposed to attend an important meeting in the morning about an important project.

Since Eric did not make it to the office, he did not participate in the meeting.

However, since everyone else was present, Mitchell participated in the meeting in Eric's absence and sent Eric the finalized terms of the contract.

Eric went to the study in the bedroom, turned on the computer, and started to work.

As soon as he started working, he lost track of time.

When he was done with his work, he heard a noise outside. Selena must be awake.

Eric glanced at the clock and saw that two hours had passed. It was already 10:00 am.

He was about to stand up and go out when he suddenly saw the photo on the desk and froze slightly. 2

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2492-It was a couple photo of Eric and Nicole. Eric always regarded it as a treasure, and he only dared to show his selfishness and miss his past marriage in his private study.

The room was so quiet that he could hear a pin drop.

Eric stared blankly at the photo. His whole body seemed to be frozen.

For a moment, it seemed as if two forces were tearing at his heart. His muscles were torn, and he felt breathless.

Last night’s indulgence reminded Eric that there was no going back to the past.

He had to face it. i

Eric had to forget Nicole, but could he? 1

His heart ached as he gently put the photo face down on the table. His face was pale.

At this time, Selena pushed the door open and came in with a bit of sleepiness on her face. She was unabashedly wearing Eric's shirt which barely covered her thighs.

"Mr. Ferguson, I want to take a shower, but the shower head in your bathroom seems to be broken."

Eric paused, frowned, and stood up.

"Broken? I’ll go and check it out."

Although they were not as clingy as ordinary couples, they were more intimate than before.

Selena could show up wearing his shirt, and Eric could accept her change in attitude.

There were marks of different shades down Selena's neck.

Eric glanced at them and immediately looked away.

He was afraid that he would not be able to hold back.

Selena smiled and was about to turn around to leave when she suddenly saw something different on Eric's desk.

What changed?

When Selena lived here before, she was staying in the study, so she was familiar with the arrangement in the study.

Selena walked in quietly.

She glanced at the desk and saw the photo that was placed face down on the desk. Selena picked it up and saw it was a picture of Nicole and Eric. Both of them looked stunning and well-matched, 1

Selena paused and felt a complex sensation in her heart.

She did not know how to face it. Her shy and apprehensive heart instantly settled.

However, she figured out the attitude that she should have around Eric.

It turned out that Eric was still reminiscing about the past.

Did he regret it?

Did Eric feel like he had betrayed his love for Nicole?

Selena gently put the photo back in place and sighed.

Fortunately, Selena was only a little impulsive in the physical aspect last night.

After waking up, she had more clarity.

She only slept with Eric on a whim. It had nothing to do with love. i

Why would she mind if Eric was longing for a married woman who did not love him back?

Selena could not be so domineering because she did not love him.

Thus, it did not matter to her who Eric longed for.

Selena turned around and left the study with understanding. She watched as Eric fiddled with the lever in the bathroom.

Half of his body was drenched, but he looked so charming when he lowered his head to seriously fix the problem.

Selena raised her eyebrows and sat on the sofa with her phone to reply to Chaz’s message.

Chaz typed.

[You’re not back yet? Our business is booming on

Valentine's Day!]

[Boss, are you planning to stay out all night?]

[Boss, Zachary is here. He waited for you for two hours and just left. I asked him what happened, but he wouldn't say anything.]

[Boss, have a wonderful night!]

Chaz seemed to be aware of the conflict between Selena and Zachary, so he briefly mentioned that Zachary was looking for her.

Selena replied to the message with her head down as she heard Eric calling for her in the bathroom.

"Can you use the bathtub first? The lever is broken. I'll get someone to fix it later!"

Selena smiled and stood up.

"Okay, but don't all men know how to fix things? Why can't you?" i

Eric held his forehead helplessly.

"Not all men earn tens of millions a minute like me. You shouldn't force people to do things they're not great at."

Only Eric could make his flaws seem so high-sounding.

Selena smiled and walked into the bathroom. She saw that the bathtub was already filled with water and nodded with satisfaction.

"Go out. I’ll be done soon."

Eric raised his eyebrows. His dark and deep gaze landed on her.

"You don't need my help? Your wound shouldn't get wet."

Selena stood there lazily and stared at him.

"I shouldn't kneel either, but you certainly made me kneel a lot last night!" ?

This made Eric’s face turn red and hot in an instant.

Selena's eyes were filled with complaint as Eric fled from the room.

His heart was pounding because of her boldness and bluntness.

Eric’s throat bobbed when he thought of Selena's cooperating posture last night. He gulped to calm himself down.

Selena was such a temptress.

Eric did not realize that when he was facing Selena, he would never have the dilemma when he was alone. Eric would always follow Selena’s rhythm and topics, and he would never think of anyone else when he was with her.

He could hear sounds coming from the bathroom. He pursed his lips, restrained his beating heart, and walked downstairs.

Selena finished washing up soon. She could not wear the dress from last night, so she had no choice but to wear Eric's shirt that was slightly bigger on her.

When she came out of the bathroom, Eric was no longer in the bedroom.

Selena dried her hair before she slowly went downstairs.

As soon as she arrived downstairs, she could smell the aroma of food.

Eric was sitting on the sofa in the living room. He was on a call with someone from his company.

The servant did not notice Eric. When the servant saw Selena coming downstairs, she greeted her excitedly.

"Ms. Nelson, you're awake! What would you like to eat?"

Eric paused. He subconsciously raised his head to look over.

Mitchell, who was on the phone, also paused for a few seconds.

Mitchell thought, 'Did I mishear it? Ms. Nelson?’

He coughed and said, "Um... Mr. Ferguson, you can eat first. I’ll ask the driver to pick you up later...?"

"Okay."

Eric answered, hung up the phone, and stood up.

He stood there with a frown as he looked at Selena.

"Why are you dressed like this?"

He gritted his teeth and felt like pushing her back into the bedroom so that no one could see her like this. i

Eric did not mind when it was just the two of them, but now that there were outsiders in the living room, Eric did not want others to look at Selena.

Selena paused. She was expressionless as she replied bluntly.

"I don’t have any clothes, so what else can I wear? Should I come out naked?" 1

Her righteous face made Eric speechless.

Indeed, he was negligent on this aspect.

Eric pursed his lips and watched as she leisurely sat at the dining table, ready to eat.

"I’ll just have some bread and fruit, something healthy."

Selena looked at the servant and smiled.

Under Eric's sharp gaze, the servant did not dare to look up.

In the end, Eric found a blanket on the sofa and gestured for Selena to put it on.

When Selena noticed it, she looked at him in disbelief as if she was a little surprised by his conservative thinking.

Eric went wild last night, so why did he become a different person when he got out of bed?

"I don't want it. Why don't you just wrap me up in a quilt?"

Selena stared at him speechlessly. She crossed her slender legs and deliberately tried to seduce him.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2493-Eric was so angry that he could not speak. He did not want to quarrel with Selena because of this matter, so he threw the blanket back to its original place and took out his phone to send a message. Then, he sat down to eat.

Selena was sitting next to him, so how could Eric sit down and eat in peace?

Selena's feet were roaming around and rubbing against Eric’s legs. Thus, Eric was irritable during the meal.

However, he could not lose his temper.

That was because he knew that he went too far last night. Since he felt guilty, he became more tolerant of Selena.

Selena ate a vegetable salad and looked to be in a good mood. She did not feel uncomfortable at all.

Eric also looked gentler.

Soon, a car entered the driveway.

Mitchell and the driver came in with several bags of branded clothes.

When Mitchell saw Selena, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

He knew that something happened between them when Eric asked him to bring ladies' clothes over. This was his job as Eric's assistant.

"Ms. Nelson, try this dress to see if you like it. If you don't like it, we won't cooperate with this brand in the future. We'll work with someone else!”

Selena greeted Mitchell happily and said with a smile, "I don't have to try it. I trust your tastes.”

Mitchell smiled and asked the servants to take everything upstairs.

Selena almost finished eating, so she went upstairs to change her clothes.

At least Eric was thoughtful enough to get people to send some clothes over. i

Otherwise, it would be somewhat indecent for her to go out wearing his shirt.

Of course, Selena did not care about what others thought about her. However, she was afraid that it would affect the business of her bar.

As a result, almost no one in the living room paid any attention to Eric. His face was dark and glum.

Selena was not a picky person. She chose a simple and elegant beige dress to change into and went downstairs quickly.

"Isn't it nice?"

Selena walked around the living room and looked at Eric and Mitchell.

Eric paused and was about to speak when Mitchell complimented Selena.

"Oh my goodness! Did a goddess come down to earth?" 2

Selena covered her mouth in embarrassment and chuckled lightly.

Eric was speechless as he thought, 'I made a mistake... I shouldn't have let Mitchell come over.’ 1

Eric looked at the two people, put down the things in his hands, and coughed lightly.

'That’s enough. It's time to go back to the office."

Mitchell quickly put away his smile and put on a serious expression.

"Yes, sir."

Selena quickly caught up to them.

"Hey, take me back to the bar!"

Eric glanced at her with complicated eyes and pursed his lips.

"You should stay here and rest. Why do you want to go back to the bar?"

There was no business in the bar during the day, so it was pointless to go back.

Moreover, Selena was exhausted from last night, and her leg injury was not healed, so she could not walk around.

Selena raised her head with a puzzled look on her face.

"I'm going back to rest, of course! I'm very busy in the bar. It can't operate without me!"

Eric was speechless. He could obviously hear her exaggeration, but he did not say much.

Selena was probably not used to this unfamiliar environment.

"Fine. Let's go."

Eric would pick her up when he got off work in the afternoon.

Selena quickly followed.

After walking a few steps, she suddenly bumped into Eric’s hard back.

Selena clicked her tongue and covered her forehead.

Eric suddenly turned around and looked at her legs.

"Do you want me to carry you?"

He almost forgot that she had trouble walking, so he kindly asked her if she needed help.

Selena hurriedly took a few steps back.

"No need. I'm much better now. I can walk without problems."

Eric nodded thoughtfully.

Mitchell watched this scene from the side and suddenly felt that they were so sweet.

Everyone got into the car. Selena sat next to Eric.

Before the car started, Eric held Selena’s hand naturally.

It was as if it was his instincts.

The driver in front and Mitchell were tactful enough not to look back.

One of them drove carefully while the other handled some company emails on his phone.

No one noticed the small movements behind.

Selena glanced at Eric sideways and flashed a bright smile.

However, Selena was thinking that if she had not gone to the study and seen that photo, she might have really been infatuated with Eric because of his series of actions.

In their current state, one of them was pretending to be intimate while the other was pretending to be happy.

Both of them were terrific actors.

Selena enjoyed being immersed in this relationship with her reason intact.

This gave her the illusion of being loved, but she was rational enough that she could withdraw from this at any time. 1

Selena did not want anything from Eric, so she was relaxed.

Thinking of this, Selena moved a little closer to Eric. She took his arm and leaned her head gently on his shoulder.

With her gentle and soft breath beside him faintly resounding in his ears, Eric felt like someone brushed a feather over his heart without leaving any traces. However, he could feel it deeply.

The man was a little tense and stiff at first, but he soon relaxed and gently caressed her fingers. His heart and mind were a mess.

Eric did not think about anything along the way. In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the entrance of the bar.

It was so fast!

The softness next to him vanished in an instant as Selena quickly got out of the car. She looked down at them, smiled, and waved.

"Goodbye!"

Before Eric nodded, Mitchell waved.

"Goodbye, Ms. Nelson."

Then, the driver started the car.

Eric did not even get the chance to speak.

He took a deep breath and thought that he had never seen his driver this enthusiastic.

Eric intended to raise the driver's salary because he was sensible last night, but now, Eric completely gave up on this idea.

When the car drove away, Mitchell looked back at Eric.

"Mr. Ferguson, why didn't you say goodbye to Ms. Nelson just now?"

Mitchell thought, 'Shouldn't they be inseparable now?’

Eric glanced at him coldly.

"You already said everything, so do I need to say more?"

Mitchell touched his nose and wondered if he made any mistake earlier.

What did he say?

He had only politely bid farewell to Selena!

Mitchell pursed his lips and changed the subject.

"By the way, there was a small earthquake in the west mountains last night. A group of people was trapped, but their lives were not in danger. I heard that Zachary Salvatore rescued them quickly and led them away from the danger zone. Now, everyone online is praising him for his bravery. He has now become a national hero." 2

Mitchell consciously followed the latest updates of Eric’s love rival. 1

He thought Eric would react, but Eric only smiled lightly after he heard this.

"As it should be. Zachary Salvatore is righteous and brave. He deserves all the glory."

The glory belonged to Zachary, but Selena belonged to him.

That was right.

Eric smiled. "I’m really happy for him from the bottom of my heart. How about this? To publicize his heroic deeds, we should buy him a few more days of headlines so that everyone knows about it."

Mitchell paused and asked hesitantly, "Mr. Ferguson, are you being sarcastic?"

"You can take it literally."

'Yes, sir."

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2494 - Did Not Accept Immediately

Mitchell thought, 'Did Eric take the wrong medication today? Why would he spend money on his love rival? Back then, he was not so tolerant toward Clayton!'

Mitchell was puzzled and did not dare to pursue this further, so he could only do as he was told.

Eric went to the office and was in a particularly good mood that day.

He patiently comforted some subordinates who made a mistake and let them off with a warning.

The subordinates left the President’s Office, apprehensive and confused. Their footsteps were light as they thought that they were dreaming.

Mitchell also thought that it was a little strange that Eric did not get him to kick people out that day. The bodyguards he had prepared were idle. Eric even gave them another chance.

This was very uncharacteristic of Eric!

It seemed that Selena's influence was quite significant.

Mitchell was thinking about this when a department manager who had done something wrong came over anxiously. He grabbed Mitchell's hand and would not let go.

"Mr. Crawford, what do you think Mr. Ferguson is doing today? Why does he keep smiling at me? I made a mistake in the proposal, but he didn't scold me. He even asked me to change it and not to worry about it. Is he trying to force me to resign? Why do I have a bad feeling about this?"

Mitchell smiled. The department manager was not the only one who was anxious. There were rumors about Eric throughout the whole company.

Eric's complexion had never been so good.

Mitchell said a few words of comfort before he let the department manager leave to correct the numbers on the proposal.

He took a deep breath and shook his head.

Mitchell did not expect this.

No matter what, this was a good thing. Eric could finally let go of Nicole and start his life anew. This was simply the best result. 1

In the bar, Selena yawned as she walked in. She saw Chaz, who came up to her, and Zachary, who had been sitting there waiting for her for who knew how long.

Zachary was still wearing yesterday's clothes. He looked wretched and his face was a little glum.

Chaz watched as Selena walked in. He raised his eyebrows slightly and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Boss, Zachary has been waiting here for a long time. He came at dawn, saying that he has something to tell you in person."

Selena glanced at him. She did not have time to look at her phone, so she clicked on it, only to find that Chaz had already reported it to her.

[Boss, Zachary is here again. He refuses to leave if he doesn't see you! Are you going to hide outside?]

Selena turned off her phone, glanced at Zachary, who was walking over, and smiled politely.

"Sorry for the wait."

Zachary pursed his lips. He could not conceal the tiredness on his handsome face.

However, he still shook his head.

"Selena, I..."

Selena stretched out her hand, interrupted him, and glanced at Chaz.

Chaz tactfully left to give them some privacy.

Selena crossed her arms, took a deep breath, and leaned on the sofa next to her

"Zachary, is there something you need from me?"

When Zachary saw that the group of people was safe last night, he began to worry about Selena.

However, at that time, Selena's phone was no longer reachable.

Zachary suddenly felt that he had lost someone within his reach.

That feeling was so painful that he could not breathe.

"Selena, were you okay yesterday?"

Selena looked at him quietly and smiled.

"Aren’t I standing here now?"

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left you alone yesterday. When I went back to look for you, I couldn't find you. I’m sorry..."

Zachary was defeated.

He did not allow himself to leave that group of people who needed help, but he allowed himself to turn a blind eye to the dangers that might befall the people around him.

Zachary clenched his fists tightly. Regret was written all over his face.

He did not even attend the award ceremony this morning.

He just wanted to apologize and explain to her as soon as possible.

Selena looked at his guilty face, sighed softly, turned sideways, and smiled lightly.

"It's okay. I forgive you, Zachary. You didn't do anything wrong, so you don't need to apologize."

"But..."

Zachary did not fail to hear the alienation in Selena's tone.

He still wanted to explain, but Selena interrupted him.

"I know I was selfish for putting myself above others and causing you such trouble. I'm the one who should apologize. Your profession requires you to help in disaster relief. You just did what you were supposed to do, so you didn't do anything wrong. Escape with one person or save a group of people whose lives might be in danger. I believe your professional judgment will let you make the best choice."

Selena looked at Zachary calmly and smiled. She could understand Zachary’s dilemma at that time.

She was in no position to blame him for anything.

Zachary's shoulders relaxed slightly. Seeing her sincere smile, Zachary could not say anything for a moment.

Her explanation was indeed sensible.

Zachary pursed his lips. He recalled that Selena had not returned all night and had changed her clothes when she came in.

His gaze became a little complicated.

However, Zachary quickly covered up the discomfort he felt and did not let it show.

He just wanted to make sure whether she was still willing to choose him.

Zachary pretended to be relaxed and smiled.

"Selena, I'm today. Shall we make up for yesterday's date?"

This was a tentative question.

Selena smiled. Her eyes were dull and distant as she slowly shook her head.

Zachary’s smile suddenly froze, and his body tensed up.

Selena smiled and sighed.

"Zachary, you know that I've been divorced and even hurt my ex-husband. The first half of my life wasn’t pleasant, so I especially hope that the second half of my life will be the best. I don't mind not getting married, but if I do get married, I will definitely want my husband to always revolve around me and stand firmly by my side. I want to always be his number one priority. If I hate someone, he can't like them either. If I said we're going left, he can’t go right. If I tell him I want to see him at 8:00 am, then he can't show up at 8:01 am. I'm a very controlling person, and I admit that I'm selfish. You're a good man, but we're not suitable for each other."

Selena was not so selfless or tolerant.

Zachary's face gradually turned cold.

"Then what you just said..."

"I understand you, but I don't accept you."

Selena spoke bluntly and turned her head away.

"Also, you were the one who reported my bar, right?"

Zachary’s face turned pale.

Only his bosses knew about this matter. Selena could not get in touch with them, but Eric could.

"Eric told you?"

Zachary sneered.

What a petty person!

Selena smiled. "No. I was quite angry at the time, but Eric said you did the right thing and solved this future problem for me, which is not a bad thing."

Zachary frowned slightly.

He looked weird.

Why would Eric be so kind?

"But if you told me upfront, I would’ve been more grateful to you, not in this way."

Selena smiled helplessly and glanced at Zachary.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2495-Zachary pondered and said in a low voice, "Sorry...1

Selena did not want to hear his apologies.

Apologizing meant that she had to compromise and forgive him.

Selena could forgive him, but she would not compromise.

She did not even want to continue this topic.

Zachary stood there powerlessly. His complexion was glum as he tried to convince her.

"Selena, I've liked you for a long time..."

"Thanks for liking me. I know you liked me for a long time, and I was really happy. That's because when I didn't know what my future held in those dark days and wanted to die with my ex-husband at any time, someone still liked me, which meant that someone in this world would miss me. I am really honored and happy that you liked me, and I sincerely wanted to try being with you. But I’m sorry. I can’t persuade myself to compromise. This is my bottom line, so please forgive me."

Selena looked at Zachary sincerely with clear eyes. She had no intention of leading him on.

She had always been serious and respectful toward Zachary.

Zachary looked at her for a few seconds and slowly relaxed his stiff face.

He felt suffocated.

Zachary knew that she was not joking, nor was she really blaming him for abandoning her.

If they were really together, such a thing might happen more than once.

Out of his job responsibility, Zachary would have to repeatedly leave her behind.

However, Selena should not be treated like this. She had always been a proud and bright person. She struggled out of the mud to be reborn, not to compromise.

Selena wanted to choose an easy life and someone who would not leave her behind. She was worth it.

Zachary’s throat moved slightly. A bitterness spread all over his body.

Perhaps God was mocking him, giving him hope and depriving him of it.

Zachary quietly lowered his eyes. After a long time, he smiled stiffly.

"Okay, I understand. I won't bother you in the future."

He looked at her, pursed his lips, and asked, "Was it Eric?"

The person who picked her up last night.

Selena lowered her eyes lightly and nodded.

Zachary exhaled lightly and left the bar quietly without saying anything.

It was good that it was Eric.

Judging from Eric's attitude and reaction last night, Zachary felt that Eric cared for Selena.

Selena sat quietly for ten minutes after Zachary left.

Chaz came out after a while and saw that Selena was the only one there.

"Is it settled? Did you give up on Zachary?"

Selena glanced at Chaz, sighed, and stood up.

"You're right. The question has always been to live or to dream..."

Chaz suddenly understood the meaning behind her words and immediately beamed with joy.

"Boss, I haven't seen you wear this dress before. You look beautiful! It suits you very well. Oh, right. This brand is worth as much as the most expensive bottle of wine in our bar!"

Selena looked at him with disdain.

"What? Can’t I wear a counterfeit?"

Chaz paused and thought, 'How could Mr. Ferguson allow his woman to wear counterfeit items?'

Selena flicked her hair and went up the stairs gracefully.

"Don’t disturb my sleep. Wake me up for dinner later."

Selena had not eaten much in the morning. Those few slices of bread and salad were not enough to fill her stomach.

She was better off eating a burrito.

Chaz was speechless.

Selena fell asleep as soon as she lay on her bed.

The exhaustion from last night overwhelmed her, so she had no energy to think about anything else.

She would just have to deal with whatever came her way day by day.

Ferguson Corporation.

Eric checked his phone every five minutes.

He saw that his phone battery was almost dead.

There were quite a few calls, but none of them were from that woman.

All day, Eric's mood was like a roller coaster, from joy, to calm, to dissatisfaction, and anxiety.

Even he did not realize that Selena had him wrapped around her finger.

He was getting more and more restless.

The manager who had done something wrong earlier said that Eric seemed to be a different person and was much nicer.

Thus, everyone took the opportunity to go upstairs to complain and report their problems, wanting to take advantage of Eric's good mood to erase their faults and do things that could not be done normally.

As a result, when it was almost time to get off work, Eric scolded them mercilessly before they finished talking.

Eric's scolding was sharp and ruthless. That complexion and attitude were even worse than usual!

Was there something wrong?

Mitchell stayed in his office, not daring to try his luck.

Even if others did not know the reason for Eric's mood swings, Mitchell was aware.

Eric's office was adjacent to Mitchell's, and Eric liked to make phone calls on the balcony.

As long as Eric went to the balcony to make a phone call, Mitchell would be able to hear some of the content from his office.

Eric answered the phone with a businesslike tone for every call.

It seemed that Eric never received a call from Selena all day.

Was that why Eric was so frustrated?

Mitchell was hesitating whether to call Selena to remind her about her relationship with Eric and not to give Eric the cold shoulder so soon.

With that in mind, Mitchell made the call.

Selena picked up quickly and sounded like she was eating.

"Mr. Crawford, what's the matter?"

"Ms. Nelson, have you been busy all day? If you need my help, don't hesitate to ask me directly!"

Selena smiled. "Don’t worry. I wasn’t busy. I slept all day and just woke up to eat. I'm about to open the bar!"

Slept all day...

Mitchell smiled dryly. "Well, since you and Mr. Ferguson just got together, why didn't you call him to chat? He was so busy that he didn't even eat lunch..."

Mitchell just wanted to remind Selena not to forget about Eric!

Selena laughed.

The sound engineer in the bar was adjusting some equipment, so Selena's voice was a little loud. She spoke frankly.

"Who told you that we're together? It's not the first time I've stayed in his house. A one-night stand doesn't change anything! Mr. Crawford, don't make a fuss about it. Mr. Ferguson and I are single and definitely not a couple, so even if your boss starves to death, it's his own responsibility. Alright, I'm busy now. Goodbye!"

Before Mitchell could react, Selena hung up the phone.

He sat there and felt an eerie chill.

Did he hear it correctly? To Selena, Eric had nothing to do with her, and they were both single?

In the villa, Selena was clearly wearing Eric's clothes that could not even cover the marks on her body.

When they were in the car, Mitchell clearly saw Eric and Selena cuddling from the corner of his eye like a couple in love!

Why were they still single?

Did Eric sleep with Selena before they became a couple?

Now, Selena did not want to admit it?

Mitchell suddenly regretted making the call.

It was time to get off work.

Mitchell thought that everyone could leave work early and that they did not have to work overtime.

In the end, Eric had no intention of leaving.

If Eric did not leave, Mitchell would have to stay here with him.

Mitchell let out a long sigh. He did not want to go to Eric and get scolded, but Eric called him over.

Thus, Mitchell could no longer hide and had no choice but to go to Eric’s office.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2496 -"Mr. Ferguson, what do you need from me?"

Eric's face was glum. His eyes were dark and impenetrable, so Mitchell could not tell what Eric was thinking. However, he could clearly see the displeasure on Eric's face.

Mitchell stood there as if nothing had happened and looked at Eric innocently.

The two men looked at each other for a few seconds.

Eric finally said, "Has she called you?"

Mitchell's heart skipped a beat. He clearly knew who Eric was referring to, but he still had to pretend like he did not know.

"Who? I've been busy all day with the work that you assigned. My girlfriend is about to break up with me...” 1

Mitchell also wanted to complain about his workload and change the subject in the meantime.

However, Eric did not give Mitchell the chance and interrupted him.

"I’m talking about Selena. Has she called you?"

Eric was still wondering if he missed her call because he had too many calls.

If Selena could not reach Eric, she could still get to him through Mitchell!

Mitchell stood there, gulped, and smiled a little nervously.

"No. Ms. Nelson might be too tired or busy with the bar. Why would she call me?"

Eric's face softened a little when he heard this.

"Let's go. I’ll pick her up from work."

Eric thought that Selena must be happy to see him.

Mitchell paused and carefully reminded Eric.

"Ms. Nelson only starts working at night!" i

Eric's face froze. He then realized that the damn bar was only open at night.

The man frowned, and his face was glum.

Mitchell coughed lightly at the side.

"Actually, I don’t think Ms. Nelson will stay up all night even if the bar only opens at night. She's the boss, so she could just leave it to the bar manager to watch over the bar. She wouldn't have to watch over the bar by herself. Mr. Ferguson, since you guys are just starting a relationship, why don't you take the initiative to approach her? Women like to be supported. If you take the initiative, she will be happy."

Eric's face darkened. Take the initiative?

Others had always taken the initiative to approach Eric. When did Eric have to take the initiative to serve others?

This was not realistic.

Besides, Selena had also taken the initiative last night.

On second thought, Eric recalled that Selena had helped him when he was injured, so he should be more humble around her.

His dark eyes flickered slightly as he understood what to do.

'Tell me, how should I take the initiative?”

Mitchell was glad that Eric was not ashamed to ask questions. At least, Eric was self-aware and did not rely on his own self-righteous speculation. Otherwise, it would only create more trouble.

Mitchell coughed and immediately said, "For example, you can send her flowers or gifts every day, ask her out for a meal, and tell her what you're doing..."

Eric interrupted him irritably.

"My itinerary is confidential. Why should I tell her?"

Mitchell paused. "If you tell her, she'll know where you are, and she’ll know that you're always thinking of her!"

He took a deep breath and thought, 'It’s not easy to date Eric!’

However, Mitchell also knew that if Eric did not take the initiative, Selena would never do so.

Selena was not one of those women who had ulterior motives for Eric.

Eric stared at a certain corner thoughtfully, as if he was seriously thinking about the meaning of Mitchell’s words.

It seemed to make sense.

Mitchell said, "Perhaps it wouldn't be so difficult if you put the same thought and care you put into Ms. Stanton on Ms. Nelson." i

Eric instantly exuded a chill as he looked at Mitchell sharply.

Mitchell knew that he had said something wrong, so he immediately kept silent.

For some reason, Eric was not as impatient as before when Mitchell mentioned Nicole. Eric was calmer.

It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him. Eric reminded himself that Selena was not the person he loved, so he did not need to spend too much effort on her.

What kind of feelings did he have for Selena?

Would he marry her?

Eric shook his head. No way.

He knew very well that his heart had long been occupied by another woman.

Perhaps he was just too lonely.

Eric struggled to calm down gradually. His face was also glum.

There seemed to be a chill covering his whole body, which was daunting.

Seeing this, Mitchell secretly cursed himself for speaking out. Then, Mitchell left the office apprehensively.

However, no matter how long he waited, Eric still did not leave.

At first, Eric wanted to see Selena, but he no longer wanted to.

They worked overtime until 9:00 pm.

It was pitch black outside.

Finally, there was movement from Eric's office.

As soon as Eric came out, Mitchell heard him and followed him immediately.

"Mr. Ferguson, are you going to the bar?”

Eric pursed his lips and said in a deep tone, "I’m going home."

Mitchell glanced at Eric unexpectedly and nodded.

'Then I’ll contact the driver."

If Eric was going home, Mitchell did not need to follow and could get off work.

Mitchell just did not expect it.

Eric was not taking the initiative, and Selena was not in a hurry either.

When would these two people get together?

Mitchell sighed. It seemed that he was the only one who was worried about their relationship while the two involved parties were not at all concerned.

Eric went downstairs and saw that the driver was already waiting for him.

The driver opened the back door and waited for him to get in.

Eric stood there and hesitated for a few seconds. He lowered his eyelashes slightly, paused, and then spoke.

'You can get off work. I'll drive by myself."

The driver was taken aback for a moment. He nodded without asking why and went back to the garage to drive his own car.

After getting into the car, Eric was so upset that he drove without a destination or direction in mind.

Should he go home?

Only the nanny and Chance were in the house at this time. Every time Chance saw him, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. It made Eric uncomfortable.

Where else could he go?

Eric had a bias in his heart, but he did not dare to admit it frankly.

If he went to the bar, then what was their relationship?

Were they just a one-night stand?

Eric did not want to just give up on Selena, but he could not make any promises either.

Eric seemed to be dragged into the deep sea. The air was being taken away from him bit by bit, and he was struggling so badly that he wanted to tear himself apart.

Somehow, the car arrived at the entrance of the bar.

Eric did not know why he came here by mistake.

Perhaps this woman was too attractive, which subconsciously lured him over.

Eric got out of the car. When he walked to the door, he heard the loud music inside.

His heart suddenly fell silent. It was as if the boulder pressing on his heart disappeared in an instant.

When he opened the door and went in, he saw the overcrowded bar and the relatively bourgeois decoration. The noisy musicians were on the stage with red and green lights flickering everywhere. It looked more pleasing to the eye.

The place was not as lively as it could be, and the people were not as drunk either.

Before everyone started jumping on the dance floor, they were still chatting and laughing in their seats.

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2497 -Eric scanned the bar and did not see Selena. His face was a little solemn.

Chaz came down from the private room with a waiter, saw the man standing at the door, and immediately beamed with joy.

"You can get to work first!” Chaz turned his head and said to the waiter.

Then, he happily went to Eric.

"Mr. Ferguson, what a rare guest! You haven’t been here for a long time!”

Eric glanced at him and frowned slightly.

"Do you have a bad memory? Didn't I just come here yesterday?"

Chaz raised his eyebrows. "I meant you haven't come here to drink in a while. Are you alone or with friends? Should I get a private room for you?"

Eric paused. "No. I'll just sit around here."

Chaz smiled, touched his nose, and coughed.

"Okay. Do you want to sit at the front? Shall I get you a drink?"

Eric followed and walked to a seat not far from the bar.

Chaz handed over the drink list. "What would you like to drink?" "Whatever."

Chaz smiled. "You haven't been here for a while, so you might not be aware that we have a new regulation here. If you order a house brew, our boss will make the drink by herself. You can't choose, and it depends on the boss's mood for the day. A lot of people like this!"

Eric frowned slightly.

"She knows how to make drinks?" 2

Chaz said seriously, "Of course! My boss knows everything!"

Chaz glanced at Eric speechlessly and thought, 'Mr. Ferguson can grasp the point!'

Was the focus on whether Selena could make drinks?

The focus should be that Selena would make the drinks by herself!

Eric glanced at the price, and his eyebrows raised slightly.

The price was not cheap.

One glass was worth $20,000.

Selena was planning to fool rich people.

Eric suddenly laughed.

Chaz was even more puzzled and looked at him with disbelief.

In the end, Eric closed the menu and said in a low voice, "Sure. Ask her to come and make me a drink!"

Eric was not short of this money.

Chaz immediately watched as Eric scanned the payment QR code. He had a happy smile as he walked out of the bar.

"Wait a minute. I'll call her!" "Where is she?"

Eric frowned. Was she too busy all day? Was that why she did not call him?

Chaz paused. "She's upstairs. She ate a little too much in the afternoon, so she’s doing yoga to aid digestion!"

Eric was speechless.

Chaz paid no attention to Eric's expression and ran upstairs happily.

Selena slept too much during the day, so she was not at all sleepy.

She was tired after practicing yoga, so she sat on the ground and watched

TV.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Selena was still a little displeased from being disturbed.

"Didn't I tell you not to call me if there's nothing important?"

Chaz smiled. "Someone ordered the house brew, so you have to go downstairs and make it in person!"

Selena looked back at him in shock.

"Who’s so stupid to order that? Someone actually ordered a drink for $ 20,000?!"

Selena was initially unhappy when Chaz came up with this idea because she had to do the work.

Thus, Selena deliberately increased the price to something outrageous, thinking that no one would order it.

She did not expect someone to be so weird to buy it.

Chaz touched his chin.

"Why would you go against money?"

Selena stood up immediately and clapped her hands righteously.

"Of course not! Money is my king!"

As she spoke, she brushed her hair and excitedly went to greet her "king".

Chaz followed with a smile.

Selena was great at this. She would never go against money for the sake of dignity. Thus, no matter what ideas they came up with, Selena would try her best to cooperate.

She even learned how to mix drinks.

Due to the short segment of the film that Selena participated in, she became popular, and many people came here to admire her.

Selena gradually became overwhelmed and ran upstairs to hide.

However, the business was indeed getting better. She admitted that she gained popularity online, so she gave discounts as much as possible and sometimes gave out free drinks.

Selena went downstairs while humming a tune. She greeted some passersby until she got near the bar. That was when she saw the man sitting there. It turned out it was Eric.

Chaz followed, smiled, and approached her.

"Look, Mr. Ferguson really likes you. He didn't hesitate to spend so much money just to see you. It's hard to find such a rich fool!"

Selena rolled her eyes at Chaz speechlessly.

Did Chaz only care about money?

Selena was not avoiding Eric. After all, she was not someone who would ditch someone after sleeping with them.

The two of them had a passionate night last night. Eric did his best and took care of her feelings. He did not traumatize her in any way.

Selena thought that they were in a purely physical relationship, so there was no need to catch feelings.

Eric was in love with someone else, so he was still hung up on her. That way, no one would lose anything.

If they maintained superficial politeness, everyone would be happy.

It was impossible to act like nothing happened, but they did not have to make things so clear between them.

Selena thought about it for a while. She walked over, sat opposite Eric, and looked at him with a smile.

"Mr. Ferguson, I’m surprised you have time out of your busy schedule to come here for a drink!”

Eric was still thinking about the company’s affairs, but Selena's sudden appearance interrupted his thoughts.

Looking at her gentle and sly smile, Eric felt like a lot of his troubles dissipated.

His heart felt like it had been doused by light spring rain, so every pore of him felt moisturized.

Eric's face was gentle as he said, "I've already paid, so let me taste how good this drink is." "No problem!"

Selena smiled. She preferred talking about business.

She lifted her foot and went to the bar to prepare the drink.

Eric also followed. He sat there and watched her silently so as not to disturb her.

Selena's movements were methodical and quite professional. She poured pomegranate juice at the bottom, and when Eric wasn’t paying attention, she put a few drops of lemon sour into it.

She placed a gorgeous strawberry at the bottom of the glass, which looked like red-hot lava, and gently shook it. The layers were separated.

From a distance, it looked like a sweet cocktail.

It was not Eric's preferred type of drink.

Then, she placed the drink in front of Eric. Before Eric picked it up, a young man who was paying attention to the bar, came over.

"Selena, what kind of drink is this? Can you make me one too?”

Selena glanced at him. He was young and had delicate features. He looked like he had just come of age - childish, youthful, and cute.

She raised her eyebrows.

"Can you drink?"

The young man sat there, dissatisfied. "Of course! I’ll drink whatever you give me."

Selena did not suspect that he was underage. After all, Chaz would check the IDs of young men like him.

Fortunately, there was still half a glass of cocktail in the canister. Thus, she simply poured it into another glass and handed it over to the guy.

Eric snorted lightly and swirled the glass in front of him.

"It's $20,000 a glass. Did he pay for it?"

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2498-Selena's face froze, and she glanced at Eric.

The young man obviously did not think about his words. He just blinked and looked at Selena with aggrieved eyes.

"$20,000? Can’t you buy me a drink, Selena?"

Eric's face was as dark as ink. This was the first time he met such a shameless man.

This guy wanted to drink for free, but Eric paid for it!

Selena smiled very generously, gently, and sweetly.

"Sure! Drink this, but drink in moderation!"

After she finished speaking, she went to the other side to wash her hands. She felt uncomfortable because of the lemon juice that was on her hands.

Eric glanced at the guy next to him sternly. He was exuding a hostile and cold vibe.

However, the guy was not afraid at all. He took a small sip of the drink, looked at Eric, and leaned over to whisper to him.

"Isn’t it great to be young? All women like young hunks with hot bodies. Who would want to serve an old and decrepit man?” 1

Eric's sensitive and fragile heart was hurt.

His face was gloomy, cold, and extremely sullen.

Eric narrowed his eyes and looked at him coldly. "What did you say?"

The guy was not afraid. Instead, he smiled lightly and looked so harmless.

"I said that you should be self-aware!"

As soon as he said this, Eric suddenly reached out, strangled the guy's neck, and pressed him onto the table. The guy screamed in surprise.

However, Eric did not let him go and became even more forceful.

Eric only used two fingers to immobilize the guy, so he was useless.

What a weak sauce!

Many people around noticed the commotion.

Selena walked over anxiously and wanted to pry Eric's hand off the guy’s neck.

"Let go of him! What are you doing? He’s a customer!"

Eric's face was glum and stern.

"Ask him what he said. He asked for it!"

Selena frowned. "No matter what he said, you shouldn't fight in here. You'll just cause trouble for me. Let go..."

She was on the verge of getting angry and glared at Eric.

Eric gritted his teeth, covered his gloomy eyes, and let go of the guy.

The guy hid behind Selena, hugged Selena's shoulder from behind, and cried aggrievedly.

"Selena, this old man is terrifying! Why did he hit me?" 1

Selena glanced at Eric speechlessly. She took a deep breath and felt that Eric went overboard.

Did Eric not feel bad for bullying such a young guy? i

Eric stared at him coldly. "Get out! Don't come back again."

He really hated such fake b*stards.

Selena frowned. "Why are you asking my customer to leave? You were the one who hit him first."

Her tone was straightforward and impolite.

Eric was overstepping his bounds.

Their relationship was not yet to that point!

How dare he make the decision for her!

Eric looked at Selena with a gloomy expression. The corners of his lips were drawn into a straight line. It was clear that he was trying his best to suppress his anger at this moment.

Selena turned her head and patted the boy on the shoulder.

"Don't be afraid. He won’t do anything. Did you come alone, or did you come with your friends? Which table are you at? I'll give you free drinks tonight and two fruit platters, okay?"

The guy nodded reluctantly.

"Selena, you should be careful of this old man. I think he's manic!"

Selena twitched the corner of her mouth. What an accurate description.

However, she did not show it. "Okay. Thanks for reminding me."

As she spoke, she greeted the waiter and repeated what she had just said. She asked the waiter to arrange a private room for the guy and his friends.

Finally, the commotion subsided.

Selena glanced at Eric. He had not left yet, but he looked extremely angry as he sat there awkwardly, not drinking.

Selena sat next to him. She thought about the $20,000 drink and put up with Eric.

"Didn’t you say that you wanted to taste the drink that I made? Why don't you try it?"

Eric glanced at her. His eyes were dark. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

He was probably worried that they were in a public place, so he held back again.

Thus, he just picked up the glass and took a sip.

When the drink first entered his mouth, the sweet taste spread through his tongue. Soon, he tasted the sourness, bitterness, and spicy aftertaste.

For a moment, that taste overwhelmed his taste buds and made him frown.

Eric quickly swallowed the drink and felt the kick.

Looking at Selena's smiling eyes, Eric suddenly felt that this drink was not so bad.

Selena did it on purpose.

Eric put down the cup helplessly.

"It's alright."

Selena smiled. "Okay. Call me if you need anything else."

She raised her eyebrows and planned to greet some other customers.

As soon as she stood up and turned around, the man behind her grabbed her hand.

Their hands touched and a microcurrent flowed through their bodies in an instant. Last night’s joy was unforgettable, so they could not ignore it.

This scene was also quietly photographed by someone with a motive.

It was that guy from earlier.

His friend patted him on the shoulder from behind and asked, "What are you taking a picture of?"

The guy smiled. "I wanted to ride on that pretty lady's popularity, but I didn’t expect to have this gift so soon."

Selena turned around. She did not shrug off Eric's hand. Instead, she took his fingers and hooked them lightly.

Only he could feel her little movement.

It was like scratching an itch, but it was enough to soothe this man.

Selena smiled with such tenderness on her face.

"Why? Is there anything else that you need?"

Eric pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and asked directly, "What time are you closing? I’ll wait for you to go back together."

Eric seemed to be drunk.

He did not expect the drink to be so strong.

Selena turned her head and stared at him. "Go back where?"

Eric looked straight at her.

"Home."

Selena frowned and slowly let go of his hand.

However, she still smiled.

"Did you drink too much? Should I call Mr. Crawford to come and pick you up?"

Eric looked at her strangely.

"Why do you want to call him? I came to pick you up."

"Mr. Ferguson, this bar is my home. I won’t go anywhere else after we close. If you want to go back, you can ask your driver to take you!"

Selena felt that she was nice and patient enough.

She was in no position to frequent Eric’s villa.

Eric's eyes gradually cleared up. He sobered up, and his reason returned.

He looked at Selena solemnly and carefully.

"Move in with me. It's not convenient for you to stay here. It'll affect your rest." 1

Selena frowned even deeper.

"Mr. Ferguson, I'm very comfortable here. I don’t want to move for the time being."





The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2499-You Can Go Upstairs First

Eric lowered his eyes slightly. His eyes were dark and impenetrable.

"Are you still in contact with Zachary Salvatore?"

Selena paused, then shook her head. "No, I’ve made it clear to him."

Eric's brows relaxed. Good.

Then, there was no reason for Selena to reject him.

Eric paused. 'Then what are you worried about?"

Selena suddenly thought of the way they left on bad terms the last time.

It was when Eric proposed for Selena to be with him.

Selena being with him did not mean that they were dating, nor did it mean that they would eventually get married.

She was expected to be with him without any labels, and their relationship was to be kept a secret.

Their intimacy last night made Eric think that they were already in this kind of relationship and that Selena was already his.

That was why Eric could openly ask her to move in with him.

Eric had no shortage of real estate, so he was not worried about what would happen after they break up in the future.

Selena lowered her eyes slightly and curled her lips. She went back to his side and leaned into him.

They were so close that she could smell his warm fragrance, mixed with the cocktail he had earlier.

It was faint and somewhat intoxicating.

It was really easy to get sucked into this trap.

Eric raised his hand and hugged her slender waist. He did not use any force and lightly placed his hand on her clothes.

If she raised her head, she could kiss his chin.

However, Selena did not raise her head. She just gently moved to his ear and said in a very soft voice, "It'll be boring if we live together. You can come to me if you have needs, and I can come to you if I have needs. But we shouldn't make it too obvious, don't you think?"

Her words were gentle and considerate, like a spring breeze that blew on Eric’s face.

Selena felt that she knew him enough to know that this was the best choice for both parties.

She was happy with his body, and he was probably happy with hers too.

Other than that, they should not get too emotional.

They were all adults, so why bother?

Eric looked down at her with dark eyes. He was expressionless.

"When I have needs, huh? When may that be then?"

"It's exactly as you understand it."

Selena raised her head gently. Her eyes were delicate and glimmering as she looked at him, which made his heart melt.

Eric lowered his head. His eyes were deep, and her small and delicate face was reflected in them. She was so charming and beautiful.

Now, she was like a cunning little fox. He could see through her schemes at a glance.

However, Eric was not angry at all. On the contrary, he felt like a feather brushed through the tip of his heart. A warm current flowed through his body and soothed him.

There was tenderness on his face, but his eyes darkened a bit, and his throat moved slightly.

"Well, I think I have needs right now."

Selena's smile faltered slightly. She coughed and blushed a little.

"We're not closed yet. Why don't you go upstairs first? We can talk later."

To men, this was a hint and an invitation.

Eric readily agreed.

Instead of sitting here and drinking in boredom, it would be better if he went upstairs and rested for a while.

Selena watched him go upstairs. The expression on her face tightened slightly.

She wanted to curse someone.

What a troublesome man!

After he went upstairs, Selena could not sit still anymore and felt restless.

Chaz, who came out of the private room, saw her in a daze, so he went over and nudged her.

"Boss, what’s the matter?"

Selena pursed her lips. "It's nothing. Watch over the bar. I'm going upstairs."

Chaz looked at her back thoughtfully and wanted to ask where Mr. Ferguson went.

Did he leave already?

After Selena went upstairs, she opened the door, but no one was there. Instead, she could hear splashing sounds coming from the bathroom.

Selena paused and twitched the corners of her mouth.

Eric really made himself at home!

She laughed speechlessly, walked to the balcony, and looked at the busy traffic outside. She felt much calmer in her heart.

In one night, their relationship changed so much.

Eric washed up quickly and came out with just a bath towel on his waist.

Selena sized him up unscrupulously and nodded in satisfaction.

Eric's ears turned red.

"What are you looking at?"

"I'm looking at you because you look good. If you don't let me look, why are you taking a bath here?”

Selena spoke calmly.

Eric could not win over her in an argument. He wiped his hair and sat on the bed.

"Where's the hair dryer?”

Selena kicked him off the bed. "Your hair is still dripping. Don't make my bed wet!"

Eric almost fell to the ground. He looked up at her in surprise.

Selena did not feel guilty at all and raised her chin.

"It's in the cabinet over there. Go and get it yourself."

Eric took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and went to find the hair dryer by himself.

He had never been neglected like this before, but he could not do anything to her.

Selena glanced at him and felt that it was pointless for a man with such short hair to use a hair dryer.

She could not help but roll her eyes behind him, but Eric saw it clearly in the mirror.

Eric immediately turned off the hair dryer and looked at her carefully.

Selena flashed him a bright smile.

The speed at which she changed her expression was faster than anyone Eric knew.

His hair was already dry, so Eric put the hair dryer back in its original place and glanced at his surroundings.

To be honest, Eric was not at all satisfied with the poor interior design and small space.

He did not know which designer Selena hired. That designer had bad taste.

More importantly, the sound insulation was horrible.

The deafening music downstairs made Eric feel like the floor could collapse at any moment.

Eric made no effort to hide his distaste.

Selena sat there and looked at him irritably.

"Mr. Ferguson, you don't have to force yourself to be here. I didn’t force you to stay."

Selena snorted lightly with a bit of disdain.

Eric walked over and looked down at her.

He had a serious expression as he towered over her.

"If you don't want to stay with me, I can buy you a house. You can choose for yourself. You can stay here temporarily, but you can’t live in this kind of place for the rest of your life."

"Mr. Ferguson, I’m not as rich and powerful as you are. It’s not easy for me to own this space, so this is already heaven to me. Of course, if you have a lot of money and have nowhere to spend it, you can share it with me, but I don't plan to move."

She was determined. She smiled, and her eyes were calm.

The bar was her career, and she could only feel at ease if she guarded her own career.

Eric frowned and looked at her as if there was no room for negotiation.

This woman was very stubborn.

Without a word, he took out his wallet from his pocket.

He took out a secondary card from his wallet and handed it over.

"If you lack money in the future, you can swipe this card. There's no limit."

Selena blinked, took the card, and looked at it seriously.

Sure enough, it was a bit different from ordinary bank cards.

It was gold-plated and held some weight...

The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Chapter 2500 -Seeing that Selena had accepted the credit card, Eric heaved a sigh of relief. He was a little glad and at ease.

Eric had no other way to make it up to Selena, only this.

Fortunately, Selena also loved money.

Selena smiled and looked up at him. "You really plan to be my sugar daddy? You're quite generous, huh?"

Eric frowned and corrected her with a serious expression.

"I'm not your sugar daddy. Don’t make it sound so vulgar. I told you that I won’t mistareat you if you're with me."

He did not like that Selena was using such derogatory terms to belittle their relationship.

They were not shameless.

Even if people found out, Eric would admit it frankly.

However, there was no need to deliberately let the world know. 1

Selena blinked. Although she did not understand the difference, she thought that it was probably a more civilized term for this kind of relationship among rich people.

She paused and looked at him.

"If that’s the case, let’s make it clear. I hope that fewer people know about us."

Eric pursed his lips and nodded. "Okay."

After all, Eric did not want his scandals to spread everywhere.

Selena smiled. "Also, if you have another partner, we'll automatically stop whatever is between us. There’s no need to discuss it."

Eric frowned and watched her silently for a few seconds before he said, "Why does it just apply to me? What about you?"

"It applies to me too."

Selena smiled. "I'm not a two-timer."

Eric suddenly remembered what the guy earlier said.

He had always been confident in himself. Even so, he could not stand being mocked by that stranger. Moreover, Selena also said that Eric had better conditions than she did.

Eric seemed to be suffocated. He was upset.

"I’m not a two-timer either."

Selena smiled and remained silent.

"Okay. Anything else?”

Eric asked.

Selena lowered her eyes. "Also, it's best if we make an appointment before we meet each other." i

She did not want Eric to appear out of the blue again, lest someone spotted them together.

After all, someone of Eric's wealth and status was constantly being watched by others.

Selena did not want to be the center of gossip.

Eric frowned. He was not very happy about this, but it was also not a difficult task.

He just had to inform her in advance.

It was doable.

Eric nodded.

Selena smiled and stretched out her hand. "Okay. Come and hug me!" 1

Eric could not help but smile. He walked over and picked her up easily. She smelled nice, so Eric snuggled his face into her shoulder and took a sniff.

His body's reaction did not deceive him at all.

As soon as he touched her, his body seemed to be on fire, and he could not control himself.

Of course, Eric did not want to restrain himself either. The two of them quickly got to it.

Eric only let Selena go and rest for a while after her voice turned hoarse and she pushed him away weakly.

This moment was like a dream with the hazy moonlight outside the window.

Downstairs, the bar was still bustling.

Eric could not believe that he actually slept with a woman in such a place.

He would have never imagined it.

Selena wanted to sleep, but the music from downstairs resounded from time to time, so she could not fall asleep at all.

Now, she finally understood why Eric felt that her room was not suitable for living in.

When she was screaming just now, she was thankful that the music downstairs could conceal her voice. However, she was not grateful for it now.

The disadvantages were too obvious.

Eric was patient as he carried her to the bathroom to wash her up.

They got to know each other a lot better the second time they slept together.

Eric was not very attentive and only stuffed her into the quilt before he lay down next to her.

Selena wanted to sleep but could not, so she rolled around in the quilt in frustration.

Eric smiled but did not say anything. He just pinned her down and made love to her again.

The bar did not close until the last person left, so there was no specific closing time.

It usually closes at around 3:00 am.

However, the bar closed at 5:00 am that day.

Selena did not expect her bar to open so late.

She could not get up early in the morning, but she could hear the movements of the man next to her.

Although Eric was careful not to wake her, Selena was not fast asleep.

"Why didn't you leave yesterday?"

Selena muttered as she turned over and squinted at him.

Eric paused, walked over, sat down, and stroked her hair.

He lowered his voice as he said, "I'm not abandoning you. Now you realize why your room isn’t suitable for sleeping, right? Do you want to move to my place?” 2

Eric coaxed her again.

He thought that after what happened last night, Selena would re-evaluate her decision.

Selena opened her eyes in a daze and saw Eric's smug expression. He was so close to her, and his hair was still a little messy.

She could not resist reaching out to rub his head, which made his hair messier.

Eric's face darkened, and he looked at her speechlessly.

Selena giggled.

"You really look like a dog!"

Selena was not fully awake so early in the morning, so she spoke her mind.

Eric looked at her helplessly for a moment. He was a little frustrated, so he gritted his teeth.

"If I wasn't running late, I would've punished you!"

Selena pursed her lips. "I don't want to move. There are so many outsiders in your villa."

'They're servants and won’t say anything. What are you afraid of?"

Eric spoke indifferently.

"But Chance will also misunderstand."

Selena could not explain such a complicated relationship to Chance.

Chance liked her and would be happy if he knew that Selena would be his stepmother. 1

However, Selena did not intend to be his stepmother.

Eric frowned. He did not think this was a problem.

'Then we'll find a reason for you to stay there temporarily. If that doesn't work, I have other properties too. Do you want to live in the city center, or in the suburbs?"

Eric said it casually and felt that he was very thoughtful.

However, Selena suddenly opened her eyes and stared at him.

"That makes things even more complicated! Forget it. I'll just make do with it here."

Eric was inexplicably upset, but he did not say much.

"Okay. Call me if you need anything."

His voice was gentle. He lowered his head slowly and planted a kiss on her forehead before he stood up and left.

Before he went downstairs, he suddenly thought of something, turned back, and went to the bathroom.

"I need to wash my hands."

Then he stayed in the bathroom for a few minutes before he slowly left.

The world fell silent again.

Selena fell asleep again after a while.

Since the bar closed late last night, Chaz did not go home and slept in the lounge.

When he woke up early in the morning, he saw Eric, who had disappeared from the bar last night, walk down the stairs in a dignified manner.

Eric was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, and his hair was a little messy.

His complexion was much better than yesterday, and there was a bright smile on his face.

Chaz was stunned. He did not expect Selena and Eric to progress so quickly!
