Chapter 467

The Start of a New Relationship

Before Nicole could say anything, she watched out of the corner of her eye as Ivy Harrison quickly went
upstairs with Keith’s suit jacket draped over her. The way Ivy scurried away was really quite pathetic, but
no one noticed.

Nicole looked at Eric with a calm face. His eyes were dark like ink. She suddenly felt a dull pain in her
chest, but she took a deep breath. After the pain eased, she spoke in a low voice, “Eric Ferguson, I don’t
want to torture you.

I want you to be relieved sooner.” o oo Jo Her voice was light, calm, and serious. “It’s not that I haven’t
thought about our relationship during this time. Mr. Ferguson, thank you for the efforts you’ve put into
me, but… I’m sorry.

I just can’t fathom being with you again.” Nicole was overly calm as she spoke. Do Eric’s face was
extremely cold.

Eric’s face was extremely cold. His eyes were still and his body was tense. His fingers were white from
clenching the armrest tightly. sa Somehow, Nicole also felt a twitch of pain, but it was just for a short
moment.

She quickly regained her composure. It was better to rip off the band-aid. POOS Instead of getting
entangled in this endlessly, it was better to make a clean cut. That way, both of them could be relieved.
During this time together, Nicole could finally see the situation with the most peaceful state of mind.

Nicole was not touched by Eric. Rather, she pitied her past self and wondered why she did not get his
serious treatment at the beginning The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, and
the more she wanted to escape this feeling. © Seeing the pain and suppressed emotions i n Eric’s eyes,
Nicole felt a little heartbroken.



It felt a little suffocating. suffocating heartbroken. It felt Nicole lowered her eyes and was silent for a
moment. She looked up and smiled. “It’s late. Thanks for bringing me here.

I’ll go back first.” With that, she stood up and left. “Nicole. He called out to her and smiled with a pale
face. “You friendzoned me? I don’t accept it!” Eric’s gaze was complicated as he looked a ther.

His voice was low and raspy. “No matter what you say, I won’t give up on you. Whether you’re happy or
not, I’ll keep waiting for you.” Nicole left the party early without greeting anyone. Eric looked at her
departing back with narrowed eyes.

He suddenly noticed that his body was tense. The moment he relaxed, he was drenched in cold sweat.
His pale face was in the shadows as he leaned back against the back of the wheelchair.

Nicole told Clayton that she was leaving. She did not call for a car and intended to walk back to the hotel.
The villa was not too far from the hotel. Getting some fresh air could also alleviate her mood Not long
after she walked out, Clayton caught up to her.

Nicole was still a little surprised. “Mr. Sloan, the party isn’t over yet, right?” O O Clayton chuckled. Even
after running to catch up to her, his face was not red, and he was not panting. He still looked poise with a
steady temperament. “It’s okay.

I can’t let a little lady go back b y herself, right?” ‘Little lady?’ Nicole paused for a moment. She liked this
title. She chuckled and felt relaxed. “Then thanks for walking me back, Mr. Sloan.” )) “It’s my honor.”
Clayton’s eyes were bright and glimmering, and his smile was decent. “This trip that Mr. Ferguson
planned is quite memorable. I think that this should be the last stop.

Do you find it a pity that it’s ending soon?” O Nicole looked at him seriously and laughed. “I think it’s
more of a pity not to make money.” Clayton nodded. “Indeed.” They were both business people after all.



The two of them walked in the faint evening darkness with neon lights flashing in the surroundings.
Nicole squinted her eyes and enjoyed the comfortable soft breeze on her face. Clayton, who was next to
her, softened his gaze when he saw her like this. “Ms. Stanton…” “Hmm?” “Have you ever thought about
starting a new relationship again? With me?”
