Chapter 481


    Eric’s patience was simply impressive.


    Initially, I was really furious, but he caused me to lose myself once again.


    As I lost my mind, I heard him repeatedly calling my name. ‘Lilian, Lilian, Lilian…’


    After going through intense physical activity all night, my whole body felt sore. Due to fatigue, I could


    barely open my eyes, even when I heard him talking on the phone in a low voice. As he spoke in


    German, I didn’t understand a word he said.


    Seeing that I was awake, Eric hung up the phone and reached out to hug me. Giving me a kiss on the


    cheek, he said, ‘Let’s go out today and have fun together.’


    ‘I don’t want.’


    ‘So what do you want to do today?’


    ‘I want to go back. You said you lost my passport, right? Let’s reapply for a new one today.’


    ‘You’re misbehaving again,’ Eric warned as he red at me.


    Instantly, I kept my mouth shut. As he ran his fingers through my hair, he said, ‘Abouting back, I’ll

    arrange ordingly, so you don’t have to worry about anything as long as you listen to me. By the way,


    I thought I’d take you to theke to see the swans. If you wish, we can also take a walk along the


    Rhine.’


    Without uttering a response, I lowered my head. Seeing this, Eric lifted my chin and asked, ‘Are you


    unhappy?’


    ‘Eric, do you really love me?’


    ‘Clear!’


    ‘If you really love me, why do you treat me like this? You don’t respect me and you never care about my


    feelings. As always, you’ll do what you want. All this is what will you do with someone you love?


    ‘Didn’t I apologize for what I did yesterday? And you enjoyedst night, right?


    ‘Please! I’m not even referring to this matter!’


    ‘So what is it? Besides, I don’t think I didn’t respect you.’


    ‘What will Sharon think of me? She knows I’m married…’


    Startled for a moment, Eric asked, ‘How did Sharon know?’


    ‘How would I know? Weren’t you the one who told Beverly?


    ‘Why should I?’ Eric argued back, looking obviously displeased. ‘Anyway, it doesn’t really matter if


    Sharon knows about it. Once you get divorced, you can be together with me.’


    ‘What kind of logic is this? The situation now is that I am not divorced yet, which means I am being


    unfaithful to my marriage. What will others think


    of me?’


    ‘My mistake. I will exin on his behalf. Don’t worry. No one will look down on you.


    “I don’t need you to exin things to me. I felt so embarrassed. Eric, I don’t want to walk along the


    Rhine or see the swans. I want out of this ce!’


    Looking at me intently, I could see that there was anger growing in Eric’s eyes. Without flinching, I


    looked at him. After a while, Eric looked away. ‘Lilian, does being with me bother you?’ he asked in


    dismay.


    ‘It’s Not That; it is my status that puts me in an awkward position. Eric, I’m not divorced yet. No matter


    how much I care for you, I just can’t cheat on my marriage. You understand?’
