The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Boss novel Chapter 1399

Chapter 1399 Scare Him Away

Ian’s expression changed instantly. Adeline looked at Ian with an eager gaze, as if her heart was hanging on his body. When Terrence almost ruined the Carter family before, the Carter family already regarded the Zabel family as a thorn in their side, but it did not affect Adeline’s love and obsession for Ian. The moment Adeline saw Ian, her eyes instantly lit up and she lifted her skirt to come over.

Ian was frightened and let go of Nicole’s hand, wanting to leave Nicole behind and run away. At that thought, that was what he did. “Nicole, I’m leaving. Take care of yourself!” Then, Ian lifted his legs and ran. He bumped into several wine glasses and was gently chided by the elders and relatives on the side for not being steady enough. However, the moment they noticed Adeline, their chiding voices changed. “Hurry up and run. Don’t get caught!” Nicole looked at this scene with surprise. It was like a farce. Eric, who was in front of her, only wanted to be alone with Nicole. He had not talked to her alone for a long time. He reached out to take a hold of that slender fair wrist and forcefully pulled her to walk away.

Nicole was still immersed in the drama of watching a good show and was completely caught off guard. She subconsciously tried to break free, but it was useless. She was a little upset, and her face was clear and cold. “Eric Ferguson, let go.” Nicole did not want to let others misunderstand their already-impossible-to-repair relationship on an occasion like this. She wanted to avoid unwarranted speculation.

Nicole’ s heart only twisted slightly and felt sore for a moment. Eric looked at her unmoved expression and smiled. “ It’s probably karma. You’re just treating me like how I treated you back then. It’s quite fair.” Nicole felt like her chest was being pressed by a boulder, making her unable to breathe. She did not like this feeling. She did not like recalling those unpleasant experiences with Eric. It was just another bruise all over again. “Mr. Ferguson, if that’s what you wanted to talk about, then it’s unnecessary to go on.”

“Unnecessary? It’s unnecessary for you, but for me, it’s like taking away half of my life.” Eric sat there and curled his lips. The light was dim as it reflected on the side of his face that was pale and cold, filled with a wretched arrogance. At that moment, Nicole suddenly felt like Eric had fallen from his pedestal and into the mud. He was extremely miserable.
