Chapter 402


    Almost immediately, Eric’s mischievous personality surfaced. ‘Scream if you dare, but I’m not scared at


    all. If anyonees, I’ll just say it was you who seduced me. Let’s wait and see who gets embarrassed


    in the end.


    – You do not have shame? His statement pissed me off so much that I couldn’t find other words to say.


    If anyone saw Eric holding me like that, ten out of ten people would definitely think I was the one who


    seduced him. After all, he was known as one of the most eligible bachelors, while I was just a married


    woman. No one would believe that the usually aloof President Walker would get his hands on a married


    woman.


    I didn’t think even I would believe it.

    While I was lost in thought, he carried me off and walked briskly on his long legs. Soon, he brought me


    to another pavilion and put me on the ground.


    The moment my legs hit the ground, I jumped away from him, keeping a safe distance as I red at


    him. ‘What the hell are you trying to do, Eric?’


    For some unknown reason, I would lose my temper easily these days. I would swear over the smallest


    thing, the F-word slipping out of my mouth softly. However, Eric’s face was solemn as he said, ‘Speak


    civilly, Lilian Hawkins. Don’t me me for being rude if you swear again!’


    ‘I don’t need to be polite to someone like you, who is despicable, untrustworthy and loves to snitch on


    others,’ I retorted, trying to be encouraging.


    ‘Looks like you’re addicted to profanity, so I don’t mind teaching you a lesson today.’ Without the


    slightest hint of a smile on his face, he approached me. ‘I hear it’s different when you do it


    outdoors. The scenery here isn’t bad, so I don’t mind undressing you here!’

    ‘You *ssh-‘ Thest syble caught in my throat when I saw the look in Eric’s eyes. Height would


    actually strip me naked if I cursed at him again. A wise man would not fight when the odds were against


    him, so I guiltily backed up a few steps and warned, ‘Don’t do anything foolish and tell me directly why


    you brought me here.’


    ‘I just want to have a heart-to-heart with you!’


    ‘We have nothing to talk about!’


    ‘There is if I say so, then sit down!’ he ordered, his arrogance growing with each word.


    Looking around cautiously, I sat down in a chair in the pavilion.


    He then got up and walked over to me, but as soon as he sat down next to me, I immediately moved to


    a seat further away from him, closing the distance between us. Snorting, Eric said, ‘You’re doing well,


    aren’t you? You act so suspiciously and set all your guards against me like I’m a thief, but you were so


    brazen with Richard. Do you trust a stranger that much?


    ‘Don’t mention that *idiot to me!’ Right after I said that, I looked at him anxiously and felt a sense of


    relief when I saw that he didn’t seem to mind that I had cursed again this time. ‘That Richard is


    inhuman! More inhuman than you!


    ‘Do you have the nerve to curse him when you don’t even reflect on your own behavior?’


    ‘And my behavior? What did I do wrong?’


    ‘Aren’t you admitting you did something wrong? Do you know Richard?


    ‘No.’


    ‘If you’re not, then why do you trust him so much that you spend time alone with him?’


    ‘I… I thought he just wanted to talk about official business with me.’


    ‘Official business? Why isn’t he discussing this in the office but here in such a location when ites to


    official business? As a woman, you are not reserved at all and easily agreed to a man’s request without


    defending yourself. Do you not know that by doing this you are only hinting to the man that he has a


    chance?
