Chapter 417 Determined Cripple


    Nicole smiled. "Thank you, but I’m going upstairs first."


    "Sure, sure!"


    Nicole was halfway up the stairs when Luca opened the door. She swept a nce to the back and saw


    Eric being pushed in.


    Toto greeted Eric excitedly, which made his little pink apron sway with his movements.


    "Mr. Ferguson, you’re back! A man like you who works hard every day yet still maintains such charm is


    the best fit for Ms. Stanton! You two are simply perfect for each other! Sigh... I don''t even know what


    words to best describe you..."


    Luca was about to go upstairs after Nicole. When he heard Toto''s words, he suddenly paused in his


    footsteps.


    He turned around. His fierce face had a few moments o f hesitation.


    "I think there''s only one way to describe him."


    Toto''s eyes lit up. He ran over excitedly because this was the first time Luca willingly carried the


    conversation. It was a good sign of their strengthening rtionship.


    "What word?"


    "Determined cripple," Luca answered.


    Nicole raised her eyebrows and could not help butugh.


    Eric''s speechless and already dark and sullen face turned colder.


    Luca was not highly uneducated and felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said. He just strode


    over to Nicole.


    Toto froze for a moment. He could feel the gradually suffocating vibes from Eric.


    He suddenly regretted looking for a sense of belonging with Luca.


    What a misstep!


    Eric''s sharp gaze looked up the stairs. Nicole instantly withdrew her smile.


    ''I''m only crippled because of her! How could sheugh at me?! No conscience!''


    Nicole felt a little guilty and coughed slightly. "Mr.


    Ferguson is an extraordinary boss with tens of thousands of employees under him, so of course, he


    can''t ck off."


    Their eyes met. Eric looked stunned for a moment before the corners of his lips curled up into a smile.


    The gloom in his eyes faded away and was reced with tenderness.


    "Nicole, you have a good eye."


    Nicole was still the best. Eric felt like his whole body was doused in honey because all he felt was


    sweetness. It was veryforting and warm.


    This was the first time Nicole praised him like this.'' Turns out that I left a pretty good impression in her


    heart!''


    Nicole breathed a sigh of relief and thought, ''Wow, this man is easy to coax. He''s not mad after saying


    such perfunctory words?''


    Toto thought to himself, ''I said the same thing all the time! Why is Mr. Ferguson so happy when Ms.


    Stanton says it? Is this the power of love?''


    Luca heard Nicole''s words and thought that he had belittled Eric earlier. He looked at Eric very


    sincerely and asked, "Mr. Ferguson, would you like a bathter?" 1


    He hoped to express his guilt with actions.


    The house waspletely silent.


    Toto’s eyelids twitched fiercely. He looked at Luca''s serious face, then nced at Eric''s cold, stern


    face.


    Soon, Toto understood what happenedst night. ''My wonderful n was ruined?!’


    Nicole raised an eyebrow and saw that Eric was about to die from exasperation. She did not say a


    word and hurried back to her room.

    Soon after, Nicole received a call from yton. He was asking if Nicole wanted to be his female


    yton''s voice was calm as he said, "I found a clue to your car ident. It’s rted to someone who


    will be a t the reception today."


    Of course, Nicole agreed without hesitation.


    "I''ll go right away."


    When Nicole came to Imperial Gardens, she did not pack any gowns for formal asions. Thus, she


    picked out a silk dress from the dressing room. She looked incredibly stunning.


    As soon as she came out of her room, Eric coincidentally came out from the study. He saw her outfit


    and frowned slightly, wanting to speak.
