The Divorced Billionaire Heiress
Chapter 2522 Strong Jealousy

Selena turned around and suddenly hugged his lean waist. She was languid and coquettish.

"Of course, I'm satisfied. I'm starting to discover more advantages in you."

Just as Eric was about to laugh, Selena let go of him, raised her head, and asked solemnly.

"But is the deed to this house in my name?"

Eric paused. "My subordinates got it done for me. If you want it in your name, we can go through the formalities tomorrow."

He did not think much about it.

What did it matter whose name it was?

Selena said, "Forget it. I don't dare to take it if you give it away for free. Don't give me any property in the future since it's not easily liquidated. Just give me money."

Eric was taken aback for a moment. He looked down at her and chuckled softly.

"Do you really not have enough money? Didn't I give you my credit card?"

Selena walked into the bedroom indifferently and sat on the bed.

"I don't feel comfortable spending with the credit card you gave me. In the future, just transfer money to my account regularly. That way, our relationship will be simple and burden-free." Eric was initially smiling, but when he saw her eyes, his smile gradually faded.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

He looked at her with dark and deep eyes and suddenly smiled again.

"Are you still upset because of tonight? Taylor is just a business partner. You know that I didn't say much to her. Why are you so jealous?"

Selena raised her eyes to look at him. Her eyes were gentle and calm.

"The bar's renovation will be done in a few days. It'll be more suitable for me to live there."

Eric's eyes darkened. "You won't have a good rest."

"I'm well rested. I sleep soundly when I'm sleeping on my own turf."

Eric took a deep breath. "Okay. I'll get someone to change the deed into your name tomorrow. This will also be your turf from now on."

It was rare for Eric to coax a woman with such a gentle tone.

He walked over, sat next to her, put one arm around her waist, and gently kissed her cheek. His eyes were dark and solemn.

"Stop talking about making our relationship simple. Is our relationship simple?"

Eric did not want Selena to think that their relationship was just transactional.

He had invested so much energy and thought into it, which could not be equated with money.

He would give her whatever she wanted.

He also gave her his credit card.

It was not a vulgar relationship where he gave her money regularly every month.

Selena leaned meekly against his body and sighed softly.

Eric was overjoyed. He noticed her change and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard her say, "Eric, have you ever thought about marrying me?"

After she said that, the room fell silent again.

Eric's body was stiff, and he did not answer.

His silence was the answer.

Selena smiled, got up from the bed, and walked out.

Feeling empty, Eric walked over abruptly and grabbed her.

"Where are you going?"

He realized that his tone was a little too aggressive, so he immediately softened his voice.

"Selena, why did you suddenly think of marriage? Isn't our relationship now good enough? Marriage is a big event. We'll need time to adjust and consider it, and the procedures are very complicated. I have been divorced twice, and marriage has been a failure for me. It doesn't mean anything, and I didn't get to this point because of marriage."

Selena sighed and suddenly felt that her breathing was difficult.

She could not help but sneer. Her heart was throbbing with pain, but she acted nonchalantly.

"Are you drawing a big picture for me? I already listened to Cindy's version today. Do I have to listen to yours too? Do you two take me for a fool? Eric, you're the best manipulator there is. I finally witnessed it myself."

Eric noticed her attitude. His expression slowly froze and turned cold. His eyes were stern and deep.

"Selena, what's wrong with you? We didn't get together with the intention of marriage, so why did you bring up this topic all of a sudden? What did Cindy tell you? She's just provoking you."

There was tension between them.

Eric keenly noticed that Selena's emotions had something to do with Cindy.

Thus, he figured that Selena mentioned this topic because of Cindy.

Since it was Cindy's instigation, he did not have to worry.

Selena's heart trembled slightly. She suddenly felt that she was powerless to resist a gentle Eric.

"It doesn't matter if it's instigation or anything else. I stayed with you in the first place because I didn't have a place to live, and I was a little interested in you. Now that the bar is about to reopen, our relationship should come to an end. Since you haven't thought about marriage, I don't need to invest too much into this relationship. We're adults, so we should be more sensible."

Her voice was cold when she spoke, and she looked at him without blinking or dodging.

Eric's face gradually turned cold.

"Selena, I'll give you another chance. I'll pretend that I haven't heard those words, so take them back."

"Eric, don't lie to yourself. How can I take back what I said?"

They were quarreling again.

A moment ago, Eric was secretly happy because they seemed to be getting closer to each other. At this moment, he only felt alienated and defensive.

Selena took a deep breath and interrupted the silence.

"Let's just stop here and leave on a good note. We don't have to pester each other in the future.”

Selena turned and walked to the door.

Eric did not expect such a situation to happen and was already very upset.

He immediately reached out and pressed on the door. His eyes were a little cold and scrutinizing, and his tone was harsh and irritable.

"Selena, do you think you get the final say in this? Do you think you can just leave like that? Do you think that I don't care about you? Did I treat you badly? Is marriage a decision to be made in a fit of anger? Did you think that if we get married, your past will be uncovered and trampled on repeatedly? What can marriage guarantee? My marriage will shock Ferguson Corporation, so it isn't child's play, and it certainly can't be done on a whim. Moreover, have we really reached the point where we can get married?"

Eric's words were like sharp thorns that stabbed Selena's heart fiercely and accurately.

It hurt a lot.

Selena's face suddenly turned pale, and she could not speak because of the pain.

The joy and love in the past few days were her wishful thinking. She was the only one who thought so.

Selena's past was unsightly, and she was not worthy of being in the same league as Ferguson Corporation. This would have a negative impact on Ferguson Corporation.

She was not a fool and understood all this.

After all, Selena did not deserve Eric.

Cindy was right. Eric would only accept Nicole and other marriage alliances because it was beneficial to him.

He was careful about his feelings and marriage.

Without a sufficient exchange of benefits, Eric would not get married easily.

What was Selena to him?

She was just an accident he encountered halfway and a person who looked like Nicole who could relieve his loneliness. She was dispensable.

How could she still hope for being in his future?
