Eric would not say that out loud.
He passed the cake to Chance and said indifferently, “Don’t eat sweets at night. Just look at it and don’t
eat it.”
Chance could only see it but not taste it.
Chance froze slightly.
He immediately looked sad.
Selena twitched the corners of her mouth. Eric was such a Debbie downer.
She coughed and walked over. “Just take a small bite, but remember to brush your teeth and put the
rest downstairs.”
Seeing that Eric did not object, Chance nodded happily.
Chance left. Selena looked at Eric, opened the door, and walked in holding his arm.
“Mr. Ferguson, are you making up the hours for all the medical leave that you took?”
The corners of Eric’s mouth rose slightly. He sounded a little helpless and innocent.
“There are too many things to do, so I had no choice. I will try to come back as soon as possible in the
future.”
Eric thought Selena was worried about him because he came back too late. That was why she
complained so much.
Such complaints sound extra heartwarming.
His originally bitter heart tasted a bit of sweetness.
Selena did not know that Eric’s eyes were healed.
Thus, she still took care of him when they were together.
However, Selena felt that Eric was a little strange these two days.
Eric put in extra effort in bed.
Of course, this was not a bad thing.
Selena felt tired, so she fell asleep.
When she got up the next day, she looked at her fingers first.
She was relieved when she saw the emptiness above her slender and clean fingers.
Eric finally did not make a fuss.
This matter was over.
Eric went to work as usual.
Selena had nothing to do, so she and Chaz went to see other locations for the bar.
After all, Selena did not want to just sit around and wait for the next two years.
They looked around and still preferred that same location near the Nelson Residence.
They liked it the more they looked at it perhaps because they could not get it.
In the end, Selena went there with Chaz and planned to fight for it again. It would still be acceptable
even if the rent was raised a little.
Coincidentally, the owner of the shop lot, who had not shown up much before, was there with another
client.
More than one person was interested in this location, so Selena suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
She exchanged a glance with Chaz and walked in as if nothing had happened.
The agent who entertained them did not come last time. A married couple came to see the lot.
Another younger woman also followed. Although she looked ordinary, she was very fashionable and
well-dressed.
The woman looked familiar to Selena, so she stood at the door and unconsciously took a few more
glances.
Selena wondered where she met this woman before.
The woman actually looked a bit impatient toward the couple, but she hid it well on the surface.
“I know you two are very busy people. Next time you come back, it might be with the agent, and the
agent won’t offer you this price. My asking price is $6.5 million, which isn’t much. You can go back and
think about it.”
The couple seemed hesitant. The wife then nodded, “Sure, Ms. Nelson. We’ll discuss it carefully.”
The couple nodded and left.
Ms. Nelson?
Selena’s heart skipped a beat. A thought suddenly popped up in her mind.
The next second, the woman walked toward Selena with scrutiny and a smile on her face.
“Selena, long time no see!”
Seeing Selena’s surprised and bewildered expression, the woman laughed.
“Do you not remember me? I’m Jennifer Nelson. I was in school when you left. When you came back to
make trouble, I had just graduated. We’ve only met a few times, but someone will mention you
whenever there’s a family gathering.”
Jennifer chuckled lightly with a bit of condescending contempt.
Selena frowned slightly. She suddenly remembered who Jennifer was.
When Selena lived with her grandfather, she had met Jennifer a few times. Jennifer hated Selena very
much because her grandfather preferred Selena.
Thus, Jennifer did not show up often.
However, when her grandfather treated Selena coldly, Jennifer appeared more frequently.
Her grandfather’s preference transferred to Jennifer. Although he did not love her as much as Selena, it
was enough that others could feel the disparity.
Selena’s heart sank slightly. She looked away, and her chest felt tight. The energy she had at the
beginning was gone.
She should not have come. What bad luck!
The Nelson family only brought her trouble.
Needless to say, Jennifer also had bad intentions.
Selena narrowed her eyes irritably and looked back at Chaz.
“Shall we go?”
She was disappointed.
The Nelson family was not so tolerant of Selena, and Selena did not want to have any contact with
them.
Chaz nodded, but Jennifer suddenly stopped her.
“Why, don’t you want this lot? Are you giving up on it now?”
Jennifer smiled. “This shop lot is my graduation gift from Grandpa. Thanks to your marriage, we got out
of the financial strain. At that time, the family was struggling, but Grandpa still gave me this gift. Why,
didn’t he tell you?”
Selena’s face suddenly became a little glum.
Although Chaz did not understand what was going on, he knew that Jennifer did not have good
intentions.
He held Selena’s shoulders and said calmly, “Let’s go. Don’t let this affect our good mood.”
Just as Selena turned around, Jennifer suddenly laughed.
“Good mood? Selena, if you want it, we can discuss something. Don’t you want to rent this place? If
you pay me $7 million a year, I’ll consider it.”
Selena turned to look at her. Her face darkened.
“Do you think I’m a fool? You’re selling to that couple for $6.5 million, but you want to rent it to me for
$7 million a year?”
Jennifer looked at her with a smile.
“That’s right. You’re different. I heard that you’ve been with Eric for quite a long time. Why would he
care about such things when he is so rich? Oops, is it okay for me to say this in front of your
boyfriend?”
Jennifer’s expression changed. She covered her mouth and looked at Chaz.
She thought Chaz and Selena were a couple.
Selena gritted her teeth. Chaz could not help but chuckle and said in a cold voice, “You still say it even
though you knew that it was inappropriate. How tactless.”
Jennifer was in the mood of watching a good show.
“You have been here several times, so I have read your profile from the agent. You have been with her
for so long, but you didn’t know that you’ve been cuckolded for so long? You can really endure it, and
she can really let loose. I admire you for that. Selena, you’re so skilled in dealing with men. I’d like to
learn your tricks. But Mr. Ferguson is reluctant to give you a storefront. Is it because you’ve been
divorced? Is it because he doesn’t want to have anything to do with you since you have an illicit
relationship with him?”
Selena gradually calmed down amidst her humiliation.
Jennifer was just like her mother. They had vicious mouths and wicked hearts.
Jennifer looked at her innocently and smiled sympathetically.
“I really don’t know what to say. Your status is so far from Eric's. You thought you could be Mrs.
Ferguson? My mother also said that we should visit you, but I didn’t agree. I’m afraid that Mr. Ferguson
will leave you before we visit you…”
