The Deserted Rich Beauty

Eric was silent for a long time.His gaze was bitter, and his heart felt like it was clenched, so much so that it was difficult to breathe.

While Nicole was married to him, she did not get any semblance of the respect she deserved.Every time he thought of this, he felt suffocated.

Nicole no longer cared about the insignificant past because she knew that those three years were just wishful thinking on her part.

It was her lone courage that pushed her through those tough times.

Since it was the past, she just wanted it to disappear.

"Nicole..." Eric stared at her.

His eyes were deep and astringent.

Seeing how insouciant she was when she spoke, Eric felt a little breathless.He clenched his fists and spoke with difficulty.

"It won't happen again in the future." Eric promised to prioritize her first and coddle her.He would not dare to neglect her again.

Nicole just smiled without any emotion.

There would be no future to speak of between them.She had clarity now and would never again have eyes for him.

Nicole picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.
