The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Boss Chapter 977

Read of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Since things came to this point, Nicole had lost the mood to eat.
Nicole tilted her head and looked at Harvey. “Let’s go. I lost my appetite.”
Harvey hurriedly stood up and went to get the bill.

Nicole and Eric stared at each other. No one refused to admit defeat first, as if it was a staring contest.
Gradually, Eric silently lowered his eyes. When he saw Nicole’s gentle but cold eyes, there was an
indescribable feeling in his heart.
It was painful and sour.

If Eric was ruthless enough, he would have countless despicable ways to snatch her away and hide her
so that the only person Nicole would see for the rest of her life was him.
However, he could not bring himself to do it.

Eric suppressed this dark thought through countless dark nights.
He was speculating why Nicole chose Clayton instead of him.
Perhaps Eric also knew that it was because Clayton would never use those dark, despicable, and
underhanded means.
Clayton loved her openly and was not afraid of the darkness.

Eric’s cold, hard brows turned fragile. The corners of his eyes gradually reddened as his face became
taut.



He was resentful and aggrieved.

The knot in his throat bobbed slightly.





In the end, Eric was the one who bowed his head and apologized first. Eric should not have said that
about her.

’How could I use such a method to get such a gentle and wonderful Nicole’s attention? It’s so childish
and ridiculous …’ Eric thought.

Nicole was really confused by this jerk, Eric.

One moment, he provoked her, but the next second, he apologized. ’Is he schizophrenic?’ Nicole
thought. Eric pursed his lips. His voice was deep. “I was overwhelmed by jealousy, and when I saw you
with another man, I couldn’t control myself. It’s my fault.”

Nicole wrinkled her brows and thought, ’He is really schizophrenic!’ Eric looked at Nicole. A rare trace of
bitterness crossed the corner of his lips. “But you said that we can be ordinary friends, yet you don’t even
want to eat a single meal with me. You broke your promise!”

Nicole was clearly the one who was being unfair to him first. Nicole was speechless. The current Eric in
front of her was obviously a fierce leopard, but he was now acting like an aggrieved and meek dog. “Mr.
Ferguson, you were intimidating my guest. Don’t think that I can’t see that.”

’Did he think that I was blind?’ Nicole thought.

Eric’s voice lowered. “I wasn’t. I just asked him to introduce himself.” Nicole was speechless.

’Introduce himself? Hah! That’s really the style of a president! I’m also a president, but I’m clearly not as
good as Eric.’ “If he’s angry, I’ll go and apologize to him?”

Eric patiently lowered his voice like he was coaxing her. “No need, he’ll be scared to death.” Nicole
spoke coldly.



Eric laughed. He lowered his eyes slightly and quietly looked at her. “I know I’ve upset you. I tried my
best to control my emotions. Don’t worry, I definitely won’t hurt you, let alone intentionally deal with him.”

Eric would not deal with Clayton intentionally. That would be too silly. Nicole saw Eric’s change in attitude
and thought that Eric had finally thought it through. She thought about her attitude earlier, which was
really unreasonable.

She was at fault too.

“Great. Remember what you said.”

Nicole pursed her lips and turned around to leave. Eric suddenly pulled her wrist. It was warm and tense.
“Nicole, we’re still friends, right?”

This was the only concession he could make.

Eric could not lose the chance to stand by Nicole’s side.

The difference between “friend” and “boyfriend” was one syllable. Eric was patient and extremely
confident.

Nicole noticed that there was something indescribably wrong with Eric’s mood. This should not be Eric’s
reaction.

However, Nicole did not have time to study it carefully. “Right, friends,” Nicole said perfunctorily.
