Chapter 2577 Rejected the Proposal
Selena interrupted Eric with a smile. “I think you’re too impulsive.”
However, Eric got down on one knee in front of Selena and solemnly took out a ring from his pocket.
That ring was the one that inexplicably appeared on her ring finger and she had returned.
Selena’s expression was unbearably tense.
She could barely maintain the smile on her face.
Her heart cooled down a little, but Eric’s blood was boiling from head to toe.
Eric’s emotions were a little turbulent. His expression fluctuated greatly, and he looked up at her with bright eyes.
At this moment, Selena was looking down on him.
With their position suddenly reversed, Selena was in a trance for a moment.
Was Eric serious?
However, even if Eric was serious, he did not discuss it with her.
Selena felt as if she had fallen into a deep, bottomless pool without any ripples.
She should be excited. She should be covering her mouth and crying in excitement just to fit the occasion, but she did not.
Selena was so calm that even she was surprised.
She was incomparably calm and composed without any emotional fluctuations or hesitation in her heart.
Selena was thinking of a way to politely decline the proposal so that Eric would not be embarrassed.
Boom! Boom!
Fireworks suddenly rose from behind.
The fireworks were bright and colorful. Everyone immediately shouted with joy, covering up the entanglement and anxiety in her heart at this moment.
Selena was slightly relieved.
The fireworks were beautiful, but Selena was not in the mood to appreciate them.
It turned out that this was also part of his arrangement.
Eric timed it appropriately to the occasion.
He gently took her hand, smiled gently, and wanted to put the ring on her.
However, the moment Selena touched the cold ring, she instantly curled up her fist.
She smiled as gently as possible.
“Eric, let’s go back and talk, okay? There are too many people here.”
Eric’s smile froze. He restrained himself slightly and looked up at her. His eyes reflected the sparkle of fireworks.
“I want all these people to witness our critical moment together. Selena, didn’t you always want to get married? I thought it through. I can marry you. I hesitated before because of various things and broke your heart. I was also distressed then. I don’t want to see you sad again. If I must marry someone, I hope it’ll be you. We haven’t known each other for long, but I feel like…”
Eric had prepared a script in advance. Although he did not have to, he was afraid that he would forget what he had to say if he got too excited.
How could the dignified president of Ferguson Corporation lose his composure at this moment?
Thus, Eric memorized the words by heart.
Selena suddenly grasped Eric’s hand that was holding the ring. Her eyes were dark.
“Eric, get up first.”
Selena’s fingers were slightly cold as she held onto Eric’s wrist. Eric’s beating heart finally calmed down slowly because of her smile.
Eric gradually lowered his eyes. The light reflected in his eyes disappeared.
The smile on his face slowly faded until his lips became a straight line.
Selena should be happy, right?
No matter what, she should not have this reaction!
Eric’s colleagues around them were all looking up to enjoy the fireworks, so no one paid attention to this awkward scene.
However, Mitchell noticed it. He had an intuition that it was over.
“Selena…”
Eric’s voice suddenly became dry and hoarse.
He did not know what to say, but he clearly had a lot to say to her.
He really wanted to express his love for her.
However, facing Selena’s dark and calm eyes, Eric could not speak.
The fireworks were fleeting.
It was soon over.
Everyone focused their attention on Eric and Selena again.
Eric stood up stiffly while Selena pulled him up.
Everyone thought that the marriage proposal was successful and applauded happily.
Eric did not have a trace of a smile on his face.
He looked glum and desolate.
His heart felt like it was kneaded and stomped flat, so much so that the pain was unbearable.
The cold wind rustled.
Eric deliberately chose an outdoor venue because of the large space and romantic atmosphere.
He inexplicably felt cold, but Selena was still gentle and calm.
Selena even politely handed the bouquet in her arms to Mitchell, who was next to her.
Then, she turned and left.
Everyone was shocked for a moment.
However, Eric did not stop and chased after her. He held her hand and walked forward.
To outsiders, they were a couple who wanted some alone time.
Thus, the crowd cheered from behind.
“Good luck, Mr. Ferguson!”
“Their engagement party and wedding are coming up next! It’s so soon!”
“Yeah, they hid it really well!”
“But have you noticed that this future Mrs. Ferguson looks familiar?”
“I haven’t seen her before, but she looks so beautiful!”
“Mr. Crawford, you must know more than us. Where is she from…?”
……
Mitchell just smiled dryly.
He could not say a word.
Engagement party?
Eric’s marriage proposal just failed!
Eric would probably go home to a bloody storm.
Finally, Mitchell coughed and cautiously said to his colleagues, “Please don’t spread this news for the time being. When they decide to make an official announcement, Mr. Ferguson will let the company’s public relations team release the news. This is so people won’t spread any gossip.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Crawford. We know what to do. It’s not easy for Mr. Ferguson to get married. We’ll cooperate!”
The vice president with the wig said.
The others chimed in.
Mitchell smiled and greeted everyone.
“You guys can have fun and enjoy the rest of the party. Mr. Ferguson probably won’t be coming back.”
The others smiled. “We understand. It’s such an exciting moment, so of course the couple will want some time alone!”
Mitchell was speechless.
He was afraid that it was the dawn of darkness.
The driver left.
That was because Eric had instructed the driver that they were likely to spend a romantic night in this resort.
Therefore, if Eric and Selena wanted to leave, they could only drive the only car Eric left there.
When Eric chased after Selena in the car, he saw Selena holding Chance’s hand and talking to him gently with her head down. She smiled unabashedly.
This was how Selena looked when she was happy. The faint smile she plastered on at the venue earlier was indifferent and stiff.
Eric’s heart suddenly tightened.
It was as if he saw her true face behind the fog. He felt hurt and was caught off guard.
Eric thought she would be happy, but she was not.
Selena was so resistant to the idea that she turned around and left.
Eric still had the ring.
Selena wanted to disassociate herself from him completely.
It was not until this moment that Eric suddenly realized that Selena meant what she said. She did not care who he would marry in the future.
It was also true that Selena was ready to retreat and leave him anytime.
Eric could not describe the dull pain that gradually spread from his heart. It was as if his whole body was torn apart completely.
A sense of suffocation enveloped him, and he felt like a drowning person who could not find a piece of driftwood to survive.
Eric suddenly remembered the back view of Selena turning and leaving the new apartment he gave her.
She looked so determined and lonely.
