Chapter 1700 You Didn’t Want Her
It was Eric. He was still unwilling to let go, so he chased after Nicole. She was clearly his, so how could he allow Clayton to take her away?
It was just one day. Why was she refusing to satisfy him?
A chill crossed Clayton’s eyes. He smiled and slowly wound down the window.
Through the gap, Eric could not see anything but Clayton.
Clayton looked at Eric mockingly, making no secret of his disdain for him.
“Mr. Ferguson, keep those despicable thoughts to yourself and stop having ideas about my woman.”
“Your woman?”
Eric’s tone was cold and stern, and he gritted his teeth.
‘Hmph! His woman? How ridiculous! Nicole is clearly mine!’ Eric thought.
Clayton’s dark eyes fell on Eric. There seemed to be some pity.
“Eric, face the reality. You were the one who pushed away Nicole time and time again. You were the one who abandoned her. She didn’t do anything to wrong you and will never stay put just to wait for you.”
“Clayton, save your cynical remarks. You stole her from me!”
Eric lowered his voice and growled.
His veins bulged on his forehead, showing how angry he was.
In his heart, there was also growing jealousy.
Eric was jealous of Clayton. Rather, he had been jealous of Clayton since the beginning.
He was just unwilling to believe that he lost to someone who popped out of nowhere. Eric was unwilling to believe that Nicole, who had always been devoted to him, would fall into the arms of another person.
What right did Clayton have to accuse their relationship?
In the backseat, Nicole was silent with a sullen face.
She did not say a word.
Clayton only glanced at her from the rearview mirror, and he felt relieved.
He smiled.
“Right, I stole her, so stop thinking about her. If I were you, I wouldn’t have the face to show u p in front of her again.”
Then, Clayton raised the car window. “Drive.”
Clayton did not want to bring up unpleasant things in front of Nicole.
However, he really could not help but ridicule Eric’s wishful thinking.
They might have been on equal footing in the past, but after Nicole was taken hostage in Southeast Asia, Eric was no longer qualified to be near Nicole.
How could Eric have forgotten about that?
From the time Eric refused Caleb’s deal, the part of Nicole who belonged to Eric already died.
Eric stood there. His heart felt like it was strangled by a thin thread. Breathing became so painful that he felt like suffocating.
Clayton’s words made Eric lose the courage to go after Nicole.
Indeed, Eric forgot about it. He deliberately forgot about the unhappy past.
If Eric wanted to start over, he had to forget the bad things in the past, right?
However, even if Eric forgot, Nicole remembered. Everyone else remembered.
Eric wanted to start over, but the past did not allow that.
Why else would Eric go abroad?
Eric stood there. His face slowly turned miserably pale. He seemed to be drained of all his strength
The people inside and outside the airport who saw this scene instantly sighed.
The winner was already clear. Nicole’s official partner seemed to have appeared.
“Mr. Ferguson is so pitiful…
Someone in the crowd spoke.
Another person retorted. “Those who are pitiful must have a cause for having sunk to their lows. Don’t forget why they got divorced in the first place! That man beside Ms. Stanton was Clayton Sloan, right? That mysterious bigshot in the investment world?”
“He’s so handsome! Mr. Sloan is awesome!”
“What did I just see? Not even TV shows dare to be so dramatic!”
“Two stellar men fighting over a woman. Clearly, that woman has to be amazing as well. Those who only rely on their faces can only be celebrities…”
“By the way, where’s Xander? He paid us to film him…”
In an instant, everyone’s attention suddenly and inexplicably returned to the original focus.
“Where’s Xander?”
