The Divorced Billionaire Heiress
Chapter 2533 Not Getting Married

Eric looked at Selena quietly for more than ten seconds.

His face was extremely tense and glum.

Eric said in a low voice, "What do you think?"

Selena paused and raised her eyebrows.

"Alright, I understand. From now on, let's delete each other's contact information. I won't look for you again, and you shouldn't look for me either. We can just treat each other as strangers."

Selena rationally arranged the plan for their future, just like when they were not together back then.

Eric's face and eyes darkened.

His emotions surged violently, but he suppressed them. They were like currents in the deep and boundless sea.

A gust of wind could cause huge waves.

"No."

His voice was hoarse. He felt as if his throat had been ground by coarse sand, so much so that it hurt to speak.

"What?"

"I have nothing to do with her, let alone marry her. I came here to explain it to you."

Eric looked at Selena, but there was no emotion or excitement on her face.

Selena was way too calm.

Eric was a little speechless, but he had to say it.

He took a deep breath and spoke with difficulty, "It's only because our companies are about to partner on a project. If we draw a clear line, everyone will think that there is something wrong with our partnership. Then, it won't be good for both companies. That's why we remained silent."

Eric looked at Selena with burning eyes.

He actually felt a little guilty.

That was because there were two solutions proposed to him back then.

Even if Eric made a clarification, they would not have much of a loss.

They just would not have the current gain.

However, Eric could not tell Selena because he would just be digging his own grave. At that moment, Eric was looking forward to seeing a different reaction on her face.

It did not matter as long as she was not so calm.

However, Selena just listened to him calmly and nodded knowingly.

Eric did not know whether Selena believed him or not.

"Oh, I thought you were here to say goodbye to me."

Selena sounded a little disappointed.

Eric's face tensed. He paused and asked what he was thinking.

"Are you really willing to break up with me?"

He thought that she wanted to marry him before.

How could she still be so calm when she heard about his affair with another woman?

Selena smiled and looked at him calmly.

At that glance, she seemed a bit cold and indifferent.

"Mr. Ferguson, did you forget our agreement back then? We agreed on three things. Among them is that our relationship cannot be exposed. When we find our other half, our relationship will end immediately. I you're getting married, we certainly won't be able to keep this relationship. Although I can accept an underground relationship, I can't accept being labeled a homewrecker. I believe that you're the same."

Every word Selena said was like a stone smashing into his heart.

It hurt, and it was uncomfortable.

That was because Selena was the one who threw the stone at him.

Eric looked into her eyes with a dark gaze.

For a moment, he could not understand what was going on.

Before this, Selena obviously liked him so much that she wanted to marry him.

After he finally dispelled that idea, how could she say these words so calmly now?

Was she sincere to herself?

It was clear that it was not appropriate to dwell on this issue now.

Eric's eyes were dark and gloomy.

"I'm the same? You mean, if you meet the right person, you'll break up with me?"

His voice was low and restrained.

Eric knew that he was about to lose control.

Selena tilted her head, looked at him, and suddenly smiled.

"You're going off-topic. Are you going back in? If not, I have to go back and help. The bar just opened, and Chaz can't handle everything on his own."

Selena dismissed the topic as if nothing happened.

She did not want to delve into it.

How could Eric not understand what she meant?

Selena would not waste her whole life on him.

They would break up if Eric found a marriage partner.

Selena wanted to be on the right track as well. She would end this relationship when she met the right person.

It made sense.

This was a relationship with no hope and no end, so why not choose a marriage that could be shown off? However, Eric could not do it.

His chest seemed like it was stuffed with an inflated sponge. It became extremely difficult to breathe.

Selena quickly returned to the bar.

All that was left was her departing back.

Eric stood there for a long time. In the end, he got into the car and left.

He went back to the villa.

Eric was not in the mood to stand there and watch as people had fun at the bar. He just wanted to figure out why he felt so uncomfortable after hearing Selena's words.

He was confident when he went over to the bar.

Even if Selena started to make a fuss and scolded him, he still had a way to deal with it.

However, he did not expect her reaction to be like this.

It caught him off guard.

It seemed that something important was taken from him.

His heart also felt empty.

The feeling of weightlessness increased.

Fortunately, there were few cars along the way. He arrived home without a hitch and felt a little lost.

It turned out that Selena was also planning her own future.

However, her future excluded him.

This kind of loneliness made Eric feel dejected.

However, he could not fault her for this.

That was because he was the one who rejected her and dispelled her idea of marriage.

He had also nipped her affection for him in the bud.

It was all his own doing.

Eric sat in the study without changing or washing up. He did not say a word.

When he heard the sound of a car engine outside, he paused, quickly got up to the balcony, and looked down.

It was not Selena.

Chance came home.

Chance rubbed the corners of his eyes wearily as he walked inside.

Eric took a deep breath and went out.

Chance happened to go upstairs and bumped into Eric. He paused and said, "Daddy, you're back?"

Eric nodded. His eyes were somewhat dark.

"Is your class at night tiring?"

When Chance heard that Eric was concerned about him, he immediately cheered up.

"No, it's not tiring. This class is not difficult. Today is also the last class. Daddy, I want to rest for two days before starting another class. Is that okay?"

In fact, Chance was a little apprehensive because he did not know what Eric would say.

Eric frowned and remained silent. Seeing that, Chance suddenly regretted making this excessive request.

Just when Chance lowered his head in disappointment and waited for Eric to reprimand him, Eric responded.

"Okay. Go back and rest."

Chance raised his head in surprise.

Before he could get excited, Eric said, "Go and call Aunt Selena. Ask her what time she will be back. Do you want to pick her up?"

Chance paused slightly and looked up at Eric in puzzlement.

Usually, his father would contact Aunt Selena directly.

Why did Eric ask him to contact Selena now?

Eric pursed his lips. "I still have a video conference later, so I don't have time to pick her up. You can arrange for the driver to pick her up after you ask her the time."

After speaking, Eric turned around and left.

Chance nodded in understanding.

It turned out that Daddy came back to work overtime.

Daddy still liked Aunt Selena. Otherwise, he would not be worried about Aunt Selena's safety at such a late hour.
