Chapter 2273 Write It Off
It was just that Nicole hid it so well that others could not see it.
The moment she came back, she did not mention anything about yton.
There were no fluctuations in her emotions either.
It was weird and out of character for Nicole, but Kai did not say anything. He just smiled and asked
Michael and the others to go to the wine cer to get some wine.
Leighton and the others also drank some.
Camille was the happiest, probably because thepany’s problems were resolved, and everyone
was safe and sound.
Nicole could not drink, so she only sipped on her juice.
After the meal, Leighton yed games with Fischer and Chatty while Camille walked to Nicole’s side.
Camille could not hide the joy on her face.
“Ms. Stanton, this is great! We’ve gotten rid of Sebastian, and you’re awake. We can finally breathe a
sigh of relief.”
Nicole smiled. “Yes. I was really lucky to not die in that explosion…”
Camille exined in a low voice, “I heard from Leighton and Connor that the self-destruction system is
not that powerful and was only a micro-explosion to destroy theb. Perhaps Sebastian was worried
that once the device was activated, he wouldn’t be able to escape, so he prepared this to scare
everyone and destroy evidence. We sent some people to investigate itter. The nearby sea was
affected, but it didn’t cause anyrge-scale impact, and the damage was not serious. Leighton and the
others also told the authorities about it, so no one came to investigate this matter.”
Nicole’s eyshes trembled slightly.
No wonder everything seemed so peaceful even after such a dramatic life-and-death experience.
“What about Sebastian?”
“He didn’te up. I don’t know how he got shot. He couldn’t escape…”
Camille said to Nicole.
Nicole smiled calmly.
That was good.
The wee party was quite lively. They even video-called Floyd and the others in Mediania.
Although Floyd looked a little tired, he could not hide his excitement and joy.
It was alreadyte at night in Mediania, and Nicole did not want to disturb Floyd’s sleep, so she asked
him to go to bed after a few words.
At night, Nicole got dressed and went to the dinner location that Eric invited her to.
However, she went alone.
Eric always had good taste.
He booked a restaurant overlooking half of the city, and he reserved the entire floor.
The chandelier cast a nice shadow on the ground, and the scene looked like an ethereal and luxurious
dream.
The night view outside the window was also beautiful.
When Nicole arrived, she saw the man by the window. He was tall and standing straight, and half of his
body was hidden in the shadows. He looked dignified and strong, just like that person back then.

Nicole went over and sat down.
When Eric heard her movement, he turned to look at her and fixed his gaze on her.
He sighed softly and stepped out of the darkness to reveal his handsome and indifferent face.
“Are you feeling better?”
“Yeah, much better.”
Nicole spoke calmly.
Eric looked at her. His voice was unbelievably calm.
“What do you n to do next?”
His eyes were dark, and he looked indifferent, so Nicole could not read his emotions.
Nicole nced out the window and took a deep breath.
“I’m going back home.”
“Anything else?”
“What do you mean?”
Eric pursed his lips and said to her, “Aren’t you going to look for Jeff Lieberman?”
Nicole’s eyes flickered slightly. She looked at Eric with surprise.
Eric lowered his eyes and smiled self-deprecatingly.
“You guessed it, and so did I. I hated that person all this while without reason, and I finally knew why
that day. When I went to rescue you, I didn’t think about getting back on shore alive. But when I saw
you holding on to that person without caring for your own life, I began to doubt myself. You’re not a
saint to the point where you would risk your life for anyone. Neither am I. So after I brought you two up,
I had someone do a DNA test.”
Eric choked up slightly when he said that.
He seemed to be in extreme pain, but he had to bear it and act as if nothing was wrong.
His body was tense as he looked at her stiffly. His eyes were bloodshot.
“Nicole, I thought I would have a chance since he’s dead, but he came back again. What should I do?”
His voice trembled when he said thest few words, and he seemed so vulnerable.
Nicole had never seen Eric like this before.
She stared nkly at him for a few seconds and said frankly, “I never gave you a chance, and I told
you to give up a long time ago. Eric, what we had was in the past. You don’t have to trap yourself in the
past because you’re unreconciled. I won’t change my choice whether Jeff is him or whether he’s still
alive. Thank you very much for saving us. I know you don’tck anything, but you can state a condition
and I’ll fulfill it if I can.”
She knew that these words were cruel.
However, if she did not stay firm, how could she make him give up?
Eric had done enough for her.
Nicole epted all the good and the bad, and she wanted to let it be in the past.
Eric should have his own life.
He should not be someone’s backup.
Nicole could not bring herself to use him and be ungrateful.
Thus, she could only ask him to make a condition eptable to both of them.
Eric looked at her for a long time in the dark.
The image of the person who looked at him with admiration and love in his impression gradually
blurred.
She did not belong to anyone, and she was aloof and cold.
Eric’s voice was a little hoarse.
“My condition? Will you agree?”
He looked at her as if he always only had that one condition.
He wanted Nicole toe back to him or leave yton.
However, he knew that the moment he said this, the woman in front of him would leave without
hesitation.
She could not do it.
Thus, he had topromise. NovelDrama.Org
Before Nicole could speak, he raised his head again. Some light flickered in his dark eyes.
“You can do it, Nicole. I just want you to stop hating me.”
Nicole raised her head slightly.
She looked surprised.
Eric chuckled lightly. His voice was deep and bitter.
After all, he did not want her to hate him for life.
That kind of guilt would torture him to death.
“I can’t...”
Eric murmured in a low voice.
