Chapter 1692 Negotiable Conditions
Grant nodded, “Back then, we cut off many business contacts with the Ferguson family because of the matter in Southeast Asia. I also refused to meet with Eric to talk about reconciliation in private as well. Eric put his focus on developing the overseas market, so we’ve had fewer interactions since then. But it’s urgen’t this time, so I’ll take the initiative to contact him if necessary.”
Nicole paused and nodded.
“Alright.”
“I just hope that you won’t be unhappy. Clayton too…”
Grant was worried.
Nicole could not have suffered in vain.
The entire Stanton family would take vengeance for her, so they would not worry about the consequences of breaking off relations with the Ferguson family. They would do it all the
same.
It was just to make Nicole feel better.
It was also because when she was with Clayton, Nicole felt more comfortable.
However, for the sake of Floyd’s health now, they could not help but bow down. The most aggrieved person was Nicole, so Grant had to tell her.
Nicole let out a sigh, and the expression on her face relaxed.
“How could I be unhappy? Never mind taking the initiative to contact Eric, even if I have to beg him, I would be able to do it. The most important thing now is Dad’s surgery. Nothing else matters.”
When Nicole raised her eyes to look at Grant, her gaze shone with light, and her expression was incomparably firm.
“Clayton won’t be unhappy because of this either. Don’t worry.”
Hearing her say that, Grant finally sighed in relief.
“Don’t worry, I’ll personally contact Eric. You don’t have to step in. We’ll probe his reaction first.”
Nicole nodded.
Grant turned around and started to contact Eric, who was abroad.
He only got a reply the next day.
Eric knew that he should not take advantage of the situation because that would be despicable.
However, Eric also knew that this was his last chance.
If he did not take advantage of it, Nicole would truly belong to someone else.
Eric just wanted to fight for himself one more time.
Even if he knew that he was despicable, even if he knew that Nicole would become more distant because of this, he had no other choice.
A person at the end of his rope had no other options. How could he willingly watch as his beloved woman fell in love with another man?
Eric could not just stand idly by.
Thus, after promising Grant that he would think about it, Eric hung up the phone and immediately called Nicole.
He knew that at this time, Nicole would not refuse any of the conditions he proposed.
Eric looked forward to the moment she bowed her head. Inside, there was a strange feeling of excitement. This was the best opportunity heaven was giving him.
After all, Eric was the most suitable person for Nicole.
Beep beep beep
A few seconds later.
Nicole picked up
Neither side spoke.
The number was an unfamiliar international number.
However, Nicole seemed to know who the other party was.
This strange feeling made Eric feel that their distance was actually not that far away.
As long as he tried a little harder, perhaps he and Nicole could go back to the past.
Eric calmed his nerves. His voice came through the phone with slight hoarseness.
“It’s me.”
His throat bobbed. He suddenly felt that his mouth was dry.
The fact that Nicole did not hang up immediately gave him even more hope. Nicole’s hand that was holding the phone clenched tightly until her fingertips turned white. She felt repulsed at the sound of his voice.
Her disgust toward Eric had already reached the limit.
Nicole could not even treat Eric nicely anymore.
A trace of gloom flashed in her eyes. She forced herself to endure the discomfort and barely kept herself from hanging up the phone.
