Love's Perfect Match

Chapter 242

I didn’t see anyone…”“Hey, Eric! Were you the one who tried to harm us?”Soon, Elspeth realized that Eric hadn’t looked away from her. Instead, he was avoiding a wealthy-looking lady.“Hey, handsome boy. I was looking for you. Why did you keep avoiding me? Can you give me your contact number? I love handsome young men like you.”Eric pretended that he didn’t understand the local language. “What are you talking about?
