Chapter 487


    ‘I’m a man of my word.’ Pulling me into his arms again, he added, ‘I know I’m temperamental, but I’m


    not as scary as you think, and I never thought of making you my ve. In fact, if you want, I’d rather be


    a ve for you.’


    It was impossible for me to remain indifferent when a powerful man, who always kept his word, said


    something like that because of me.

    But can a man’s promise be truly trusted? Lifting my head to look at him, I said, ‘If you mean what you


    say, then show me your sincerity.’


    ‘What do you want?’


    ‘I would like to go home.’


    After a brief moment of contemtion, he replied, ‘Okay. I’ll be back with you right away.


    “I don’t need you toe with me. I want to go back alone.’


    ‘Clear!’


    ‘So let’s get our passports done now!’


    Then, he said something that left mepletely speechless. ‘There’s no need for that because we


    haven’t lost our passports. It was just a lie I told so we could spend more time together.


    After such an episode, both of us were no longer in the mood to have fun. So we hung around theke


    a little longer before it took us back.


    ‘Why did youe back so early?’ Sharon asked, surprised by our early return.


    Looking displeased. Eric snorted before heading upstairs, while I simply gave her a smile and followed.


    When we were upstairs, he opened the room next to mine and pulled me in, saying, ‘This is my


    room. Come and check it out.’


    His room was just as cold as he was, as the main color scheme was ck, white and gray. Although it


    wasn’t as luxurious as I’d imagined, it still boasted the prestige of its owner.


    Casually, Eric sat down on the couch and ced a call while I looked around curiously.


    On the wall were some European-stylendscape paintings, and I noticed a corner shelf with a sketch


    disyed on it, which was a drawing of a woman with shoulder-length hair, bright eyes, and white


    teeth. Even though it was a processed drawing, it could still be seen that the girl in the drawing bore a


    striking resemnce to Beverly…


    It must be Beverly herself, I thought. It seemed that their rtionship wasn’t as simple as mere friends.


    After a quick look at the sketch, I turned around and saw that the ce by the window had a tatami mat


    would lie there and read leisurely while he drank some tea whenever he was


    free.


    This was kind of simr to theyout of my bedroom, as the spot by my bedroom window was also


    decorated like that. Since I wanted to enjoy the sun but was often toozy to leave the house, I asked


    someone to design a corner like this one.


    Walking over to the mat, I looked out the window and saw that it overlooked the garden; the view was


    quite beautiful. Curious to know what kind of books he used to read, I picked up a book at random and


    flipped through it.


    Unexpectedly, a photo fell and I picked it up with the intention of putting it back. That’s when I


    identally looked at it and was immediately


    stunned by what I saw.


    It was a photo of Eric with Beverly. Of course, it was nothing out of the ordinary for them to have a


    picture together since they were friends, but what freaked me out was that it was a picture of them


    kissing.
