Chapter 467 The Start of a New Rtionship
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.”
Her voice was light, calm, and serious.
"It''s not that I haven’t thought about our rtionship 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.
Eric''s face was extremely cold. His eyes were still and his body was tense. His fingers were white from
clenching the armrest tightly.
Somehow, Nicole also felt a twitch of pain, but it was just for a short moment.
She quickly regained herposure.
It was better to rip off the band-aid.
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 ufortable she felt, and the more she wanted to escape
this feeling.
Seeing the pain and suppressed emotions in Eric’s eyes, Nicole felt a little heartbroken. It felt a little
suffocating.
Nicole lowered her eyes and was silent for a moment. She looked up and smiled.
"It’ste. 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 ept it!"
Eric''s gaze wasplicated as he looked at her. 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 rxed, 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 yton that she was leaving. She did not call for a car and intended to walk back to the
hotel
The vi was not too far from the hotel. Getting some fresh air could also alleviate her mood.
Not long after she walked out, yton caught up to her.
Nicole was still a little surprised.
"Mr. Sloan, the party isn’t over yet, right?"
yton 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 littledy go back by herself, right?"
''Littledy?''
Nicole paused for a moment. She liked this title.
She chuckled and felt rxed.
"Then thanks for walking me back, Mr. Sloan."
"It''s my honor."
yton''s eyes were bright and glimmering, and his smile was decent.
"This trip that Mr. Ferguson nned is quite memorable. I think that this should be thest stop. D o
you find it a pity that it''s ending soon?"
Nicole looked at him seriously andughed. "I think it’s more of a pity not to make money.”
yton nodded. "Indeed."
They were both business people after all.
The two of them walked in the faint evening darkness with neon lights shing in the surroundings.
Nicole squinted her eyes and enjoyed thefortable soft breeze on her face.
yton, 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 rtionship again? With me?"
