Chapter 472


    “That is not the case!” I quickly retorted.


    “Everything is fine as long as you don’t. Lilian, we’re friends, so I won’t sugarcoat my words. You can


    joke around with a man like Eric, but you should never take your rtionship too seriously.”


    His words sent a shiver down my spine. “I know that.”


    “You have to remember what I said. You can have sex with him, and you can use his resources to


    further your own goals, but you must never fall in love with him, as this has dire consequences. Eric is


    different from Carson as Carson depended heavily on you whereas Eric was born rich. A man like him


    can be a lot more ruthless when the situation calls for it, so do you understand why I’m telling you this?


    Despite knowing Isabe meant well for me, her words pissed me off. Although I never wanted to have


    sex with Eric, I allowed things to happen gradually as they did, causing a shift in my perspective, even


    though I never felt hopeful about our rtionship before having sex with him.


    I wasn’t sure what I was expecting. Was I expecting him to love me back? He never told me this, opting


    instead to say that he liked me. Those were two totally different concepts, for while he might like many


    women, he would only save a ce for the woman he loved, where a married woman like me would


    not belong.


    After the call with Isabe, I pulled away as I leaned against the bed, all the while convincing myself not


    to get my hopes up for Eric. However, I just couldn’t take my attention away from him. I still haven’t


    heard the sounds of his car, so I wondered when he’d be back.


    The ringing of my phone broke the silence in the room. When I answered, Dn was on the


    line. “Lilian, are you still in Germania?”


    “Hey whats up?”


    “When are you nning toe back?”


    “Within a few days.”


    “Why don’t you spend a few more days there?”


    “Why should I?”


    “I will be going to Germania in a few days.”


    “No way. I’m bored here, because I don’t speak German. Although the residents here speak English,


    “Nah, I’m tired of not understanding my conversations, so I really want to go home. By the way, it’s not


    fun here in Germany, so we should go skiing in Switzend if you want to join me on a trip. I miss when


    we went skiing back then.”


    “OK.” At my insistence, Dn gave up trying to convince me to stay. All he did after that was talk and


    tell me jokes, which made meugh out loud, improving my moodpletely.


    It wasn’t until my phone indicated that it was low on battery that I realized how much time I’d spent


    talking to Dn. “Wow, my phone has been running out of battery since I’ve been talking to you for so


    long! This call will cost me dearly!”


    “It is not much. You sure are getting meaner.”


    “It’s because I’m poor, so unlike a president like you, my money is worth a lot!” I said this deliberately.


    “I’m just pulling your leg!” Dnughed. “Do you need me to recharge your phone credit?”


    “Clear! How about you do that while I buy you a souvenir? What do you think of this exchange?”


    “Oh, you sure hate to lose. Alright, I don’t need a gift since you’re so stingy, but I’ll still top up your


    phone’s credit.”


    “This is a joke. By the way, what else do you like besidesbat knives and lighters? I can buy it for


    you if you tell me.”


    “I will like anything you buy.”


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    I couldn’t help butugh. “What if I bought you a lousy key chain?”


    “Clear.”


    “Hmph. Despite what you just said, you’re going to scold me if I buy this for you. Alright, we should call


    it a day since it’s gettingte now. I need to sleep.”


    “Okay, you should, so I won’t bother you anymore. Sweet dreams!” Dn hung up after saying that.


    Getting up, I went to charge my phone, then checked the window outside, only to see Eric’s car parked


    outside. Looks like he’s already home.
