Chapter 2437 Overheard
Selena’s eyes were complicated and resistant.
These words had always been in her heart, but she blurted them out at this moment.
Selena thought that even if Eric neglected Chance, Eric would still care about his son.
However, Selena had a different impression of Eric after today.
Selena, an outsider, could not bear to see Chance struggling in the water and wanted to go down to save him, but the person who stopped her was actually Chance’s so-called father.
Did Eric have any feelings? Selena was dubious.
Would someone who did not even love his son have the ability to love others? Eric terrified her.
She felt like saw an abyss, and she was in denial.
However, this was a fact.
There was no point in trying to deceive herself.
However, she was in no position to argue for Chance.
Selena was merely an insignificant outsider.
She felt cold and wanted to leave this villa as soon as possible.
Eric’s gaze gradually turned cold.
He could not suppress the rage in his chest, which surged out of control.
“What do you know? This is the best way! Otherwise, should I just keep this threat by my side?”
It was better to lure it out sooner so that it could be resolved.
This was a good way to get it done once and for all.
What did Selena know? How could she accuse him? What was the point? “Threat? Isn’t she the woman you chose to be your son’s stepmother? Didn’t you bring her into your son’s life?”
Selena’s words were like a bucket of cold water over Eric’s head.
Eric felt cold to the bone.
“That’s why you used an innocent child to resolve your threat? Don’t you think it’s ridiculous?!”
After Selena finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave.
Eric grabbed her and pushed her to the corner of the wall.
The shadow blocked the light in front of her.
Only his figure was outlined by the light outside.
He looked stern, indifferent, and arrogant.
“What right do you have to say that about me? Don’t forget who you are! You’re just a guest, so what right do you have to give me parenting advice? Or did you treat Chance as your own son?”
As soon as Eric’s words came out of his mouth, he felt a little regretful.
That was because he saw the change in Selena’s expression.He realized that he blurted out something he could not take back.
Selena pushed him away.
Her eyes were cold and distant.
That gaze was actually similar to someone’s gaze in Eric’s memory.
Back then, Nicole also looked at him with this gaze.
Then, she left him without looking back.
Eric panicked.
He did not understand where this emotion came from.
Why did his heart clench when facing this unimportant woman? Why was he worried about what she thought of him? Who was she to him? Selena sneered and looked at him while she folded her arms.She said indifferently, “I’m sorry I meddled in your affairs, but I only pity Chance because of the most basic kindness.I hope that you won’t misunderstand my intentions.After all, although I’m a divorcee, I’m still quite sought after, and I don’t have the slightest interest in you.To put it bluntly, I won’t find aman who has been divorced twice and has a kid.In any case, it’ll be easier for me to find a dying old man so that I can just get his inheritance.So, Mr.Ferguson, you don’t need to worry that I’ll fall in love with you.You fancy people like Ms.Yeager, and to be honest, you two are quite a match.”
Eric and Cindy were shrewd.
They were made for each other, a match made in heaven! After Selena finished speaking, she felt relieved.She immediately tossed her hair back, took a casual step back, and walked to the door.She could only leave if she took a step back.
“By the way, I pitied you for losing Nicole before.But now, I’m just thankful that Nicole divorced you.She must’ve been the savior of the world in her past life to get rid of you!”
After hearing such heart-wrenching words, Eric immediately turned gloomy.
Selena turned around and left, just in time to see Cindy getting into the car after she changed out of her wet clothes.
Selena went over and said, “Ms.Yeager…”
Compared with Cindy, Selena felt that Eric was more terrifying.
Thus, she would rather follow Cindy.
Eric’s face was livid.It was not just because of Selena’s last sentence.
From the beginning to the end, Selena did not say a single good word about him.
There was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
His teeth clenched with hatred.
However, when facing Selena, Eric was also tolerant.
He could not seem to vent out his anger.
However, he got angrier the more he thought about it.
Eric kicked the door next to him angrily.
The door opened.
In the end, Eric saw Levi standing inside without emotion.
The moment the two looked at each other, Eric was stunned.He frowned in shock.
“You’ve been here all this time?”
That meant that Levi heard everything they said because they were only separated by a door.
Levi was small, but he had a big temper.
Levi had always regarded Chance as his best friend.
He also knew that Chance had always felt sad because he was not valued and loved by his father.
However, Levi never expected that Chance’s father would be so cold -blooded and cruel.
Levi pursed his lips.His small face was red with anger as he glared at Eric.His fists on both sides of his body were tightly clenched.
Eric looked at him for a few seconds, expressionless.
“You’re not allowed to tell anyone what you heard.Got it?”
Eric was not scared by a child who was Chance’s age.
Thus, Eric did not take him seriously.
Levi snorted coldly and walked out.
When he walked out of the door, Levi looked at Eric.
At a young age, his voice was tender, but it sounded cold.
“Mr.Ferguson, I’m not your son.My father is Grant Stanton, and my aunt is Nicole Stanton.You can’t threaten me.”
After he finished speaking, Levi turned around and ran away, not caring at all whether Eric would catch up to him.
What was Eric afraid of? Eric was afraid that Levi would complain to Nicole.
Eric was exactly as Chance described.
Levi found his driver, got in the car, and left.
He was a little conflicted whether he should tell Chance about what he heard.
After thinking about it, Levi thought it was better to forget it.
If Chance knew the truth, he would definitely feel dispirited.
Selena said something to Cindy and managed to get into the Yeagers’ car.
Eric suddenly thought of something, chased after Selena, and yanked the car door open.
He saw that Cindy had changed into another outfit, but her hair was still damp.
Even so, he did not feel moved or the slightest bit of pity.
Eric just looked at Selena, who was next to Cindy, indifferently.
His voice was cold and firm as he said, “Get out of the car.I’ll send you back.” Selena frowned.
She was shocked to see Eric, but she was also very resistant and dissatisfied.
“No need.How can you still be in the mood to send me home?”
Selena was annoyed and almost wanted to curse at him again.
