The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 451 Send Me the Photo

In fact, Nicole had already said countless times that she no longer liked Eric Ferguson, but no one really believed her. Did they all think that she was just throwing a tantrum all this while with Eric? Just when Clayton thought that she would not answer his question, Nicole laughed.

She looked bright and arrogant with innate confidence. There was a hint of passion and attraction.

"If liking someone is for life, then do you really not plan to remarry after your wife died?"

Her question was equally as presumptuous and direct as his, but Nicole could not use any other milder way to express her feelings.

That was because when she heard such a question, she only wanted to curse up a storm.

Clayton froze for a moment. He was slightly stunned by her reaction.

He was not the slightest bit angry or offended. Instead, he let out a low chuckle. He smiled gently and replied, "Understood."

Clayton did not need to answer because they both know the answer.

At that moment, something vaguely sprouted in Clayton's heart.

He did not remarry because he did not meet the right person. With his status, he did not have to settle, nor did he need a marriage alliance.

Toto was following not far behind them. He was about to die of anxiety.

Although he heard Nicole's answer, he did not understand it.

'What the hell does that mean?! Why is Ms. Stanton asking if Mr. Sloan plans to remarry? Maybe she's mocking him for being widowed? Is she telling him to stay away from her? Then does that mean she likes Mr. Ferguson but she's just embarrassed to say it? Right, that must be it!' Toto thought.

Inside the chateau.

Eric's condition improved. The butlers and maids took care of him and dared not to be lax about it.

He leaned on the leather cushion. His face was miserably pale as he looked at the email sent by Mitchell on his laptop.

His phone kept ringing. Eric swept a glance and saw that it was Keith.

Eric averted his eyes and ignored it.

However, Keith was relentless.

Eric was annoyed and slammed his laptop shut. His face was sullen as he picked up the phone.

His voice was low, cold, and restrained as he said," Speak."

It had better be something important. Otherwise, he would not let Keith off the hook!

Keith froze for a moment and was unable to conceal the urgency and tension in his voice.

"What are you doing? Did you go to France with Nicole?"

Eric said, "Yeah, I'm hanging up if it's nothing important."

"Hmph! You didn't come to Santos Island with me, but you went on a trip with Nicole?! How could you ditch your friends just for love?!" Keith yelled. "But... Why did Clayton Sloan go with you guys? I really don't understand this weird relationship between you three..." Eric's hand that was about to press on the end call button paused for a moment. His face instantly turned cold. "How do you know?"

No one knew about their itinerary. Clayton would not possibly announce his itinerary either...

"Everyone knows! Nicole posted a picture of her and Clayton. You didn't see it?"

Keith paused for a moment. His voice gradually lowered. "I forgot... She blocked you, huh?"

Eric's face was glum. "What photo?"

Keith pursed his lips and felt that Eric's mood over the phone was a little off, so he did not dare to gloat at him.

"Uh... It's a photo of just the two of them. It looked like some sort of official announcement. Everyone's speculating whether they're dating..."

Keith's voice got lower with every word because even over the phone, Keith could feel a penetrating chill.

Eric clenched his fingertips and said, "Send me the picture."

"Okay..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Eric hung up on him.
