Chapter 2515 The Last Valentine’s Day
Selena looked at it and accepted it without burden.
“Thank you. I thought you bought it specially for Valentine’s Day. Thank goodness, it isn’t that.”
Eric paused slightly before he turned around to look back at her.
He scrutinized her with gloomy eyes.
“Why?”
Selena blinked her eyes and said frankly.
“Because we’re not a couple!”
Valentine’s Day was for couples.
Since they were not a couple, it would be ridiculous to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
Thus, Selena breathed a sigh of relief at Eric’s behavior.
It was just a bouquet of cheap roses, so Selena had no trouble accepting it.
Eric’s heart suddenly clenched as a thin thread strangled his body. Those inexplicably sharp words made his heart ache.
For some reason, Eric found it hard to breathe.
He pursed his lips, and his eyes flickered.
He was about to say something when Selena suddenly stepped forward and hugged him while holding the flowers.
“But thanks for taking me in when I was at my loneliest. Although we’re not a couple, what we have is better than most couples!”
After she finished speaking, she smiled and let go of him.
Then she held the flowers and waved to Chance.
“Chance, come and help me pick off the petals. I’ll use them for a bath later.”
Chance happily ran over.
Eric was still trembling because of the sudden hug just now.
His heart was pumping like he went on a roller coaster.
Eric curled his lips into a smile, and his face was gentle because of that sentence.
Although they were not a couple, what they had was better than most couples.
It meant that they were closer than most couples.
Eric thought it made sense.
He was a little annoyed at himself for being so hasty in preparing gifts.
He made a mental note to be more prepared for the next Valentine’s Day.
Eric smiled, rubbed his throbbing temples, and prepared to take a shower.
He thought, ‘This is good too. For this moment, at least.’
Selena and Chance plucked all the petals from the flower. She gave half to Chance and asked him to add some to his bath.
Chance nodded shyly and returned to the room with the petals in his arms.
Selena asked the servant to cook a bowl of pasta. Then, she brought it upstairs.
That was because Mitchell said that Eric had not eaten dinner because he worked overtime. Selena thought she was just doing it in passing.
She was afraid that Eric would starve to death that night.
Soon, Eric came out of the shower. He looked at the bowl of pasta on the table and raised his eyebrows.
“You made this?”
“Mhmm. Try it!”
Selena smiled and did not say much.
Eric did not feel like eating at first, but when he thought about what she said, his heart moved slightly. Then, he walked over.
The moment he took the first bite, he could tell that it tasted exactly the same as the servant’s cooking.
This could not be Selena’s cooking.
Eric put down his fork after taking a few bites and said in a low and gentle voice, “Not bad. Your cooking skills improved. It tastes like the servant’s cooking.”
Selena looked at him intensely.
“I can’t cook, but I asked her to.”
Hearing this, Eric stood up instantly, turned around, and went to the bathroom again.
Selena was speechless.
She tidied up the tableware without a word and went over slowly.
Unexpectedly, Eric was already sitting on the bed reading a magazine.
Eric was usually in the study at this hour dealing with work. Why was he so free today?
Selena thought about it, walked to the other side of the bed, and lay down.
Everyone in the villa knew that Selena and Eric lived together, so they did not deliberately hide it.
Moreover, they were all Eric’s staff, so no one would dare to spread this news outside.
Chance was the happiest to see the two of them together as he wished that Selena could become his new mother.
Just as Selena closed her eyes, the man next to her moved slightly. Then, he pounced on her.
His hands were caressing her slender waist. His eyes were cold and stern, and his voice was hoarse and restrained.
“It’s Valentine’s Day, but I forgot to prepare a gift for you. If you want anything, just use the card to buy it. There’s no limit to the card.”
His lips fell on her smooth and fair forehead. Then, he slowly trailed kisses downward. They felt like gentle raindrops falling on her body.
The hard barrier in Selena’s heart seemed to be collapsing gradually.
Selena suddenly felt that Eric was not that bad.
He was quite thoughtful of her.
In the dim light, Selena smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck in response.
“Mr. Ferguson, I guess you’re not that bad. At least, you’ve always been very generous in bed and with money.”
Eric paused slightly. His movements inevitably became a little more aggressive.
“Thank you, but don’t use pasta to thank me in the future.”
After that, he lowered his head and kissed her lips.
The two of them competed for dominance as they did not want to be in a submissive position. However, they were both deeply immersed and infatuated with each other’s bodies.
That night, Eric was much more gentle toward Selena and cared more about her feelings.
Selena keenly felt Eric’s changes and felt an uncontrollable excitement in her heart.
This made her feel that she was special and that Eric would cherish and love her.
Their relationship was improving, and perhaps one day, they would be able to fully accept each other.
Thus, Selena’s response was more enthusiastic.
As a result of their wild night, Selena did not get up early the next day.
Eric washed up and wore his cufflinks as he looked at Selena, who muttered in dissatisfaction when she was woken up.
“Can you blame me? You obviously can’t keep up with me physically. Why don’t you go out for a run with me?”
Selena covered her head with the quilt speechlessly.
She did not want to hear him talk.
Eric’s work and rest schedule was simply inhumane. He slept so late last night, yet he still got up early in the morning to go for a run as usual.
He was a demon.
“Go to hell! I will never run with you.”
Eric heard Selena muttering an answer in her sleep and understood that she was exhausted from last night. Thus, he did not say anything else.
He just gently lifted the quilt, lowered his head, and lightly kissed her on the forehead before he left in a hurry.
As soon as he left, Selena opened her eyes.
Selena stretched out her hand to touch her forehead, where he kissed her just now. She felt like someone brushed her heart lightly with a feather, which made her feel itchy and giddy.
She suddenly felt a strong sense of dependence on Eric.
This scene was so heart-warming that she could not imagine it. This loving man gave her such a tender kiss on a warm morning.
All of those belonged to her.
Selena’s heart suddenly beat violently.
It was as if a hidden emotion was breaking through.
She felt like the walls she built were slowly eroding.
Although she still told herself not to fall into this honey trap, her heart’s defenses were not as strong as it was at the beginning.
Selena covered herself with a quilt and slept for a while longer.
It was almost noon when she was woken by her phone ringing.
She glanced at it and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
