Chapter 681 Who Told You to Open the Gate?
Floyd’s mouth twitched. The night was not over yet, but Eric was already giving his New Year greetings? However, Floyd could not just stand still, so he smiled. “Well, thank you. Grant, take Mr. Ferguson to have a seat inside…” Grant glanced at Eric and held out his hand.
“This way, Mr. Ferguson… Eric nodded. “Happy New Year, Big Brother.” The smile on Grant’s face froze as he frowned. “Mr. Ferguson is very sincere.” Then, Grant walked in by himself. Nicole came downstairs and naturally saw Eric. Her expression instantly soured. All the relatives looked at the visiting man in surprise. The young girls watched with hearts in their eyes, excited and in high spirits.
Eric stood there, raising his eyes to see Nicole, and his smile finally became gentle from the bottom of his heart. “Happy New Year, Nicole…” Nicole pursed her lips. Her eyes were clear. “You’re very polite for giving us your New Year’s greeting so early, Mr. Ferguson. Forgive our poor hospitality.”
Eric smiled. They were already being very thoughtful for letting him in. How would he dare to ask for more? “I knew that I made you angry, so I was very apprehensive and was afraid that you would get even angrier, so I came to the door to apologize.” Eric originally did not plan to visit.
Toto had followed him in the car to watch him set off the fireworks, but after the fireworks show was over, Eric could not help but make a phone call When Eric heard Nicole’s voice, he could not control his emotions anymore. In the end, he left Toto on the road and drove here himself.
There was only one thought in Eric’s mind. He wanted to see her! Thus, he came here, and his heart suddenly calmed down the moment he saw her.
Nicole stiffened for a moment. Who would believe that nonsense? Grant cleared his throat. “Mr. Ferguson, let’s sit in the side hall. It’s quieter there.” “Okay. Thank you, Big Brother.” Grant felt his teeth ache. Big Brother, Big Brother. His head hurt at being called that repeatedly. When the two of them competed with each other in the business world at the time their interests were at odds, they knew that the other’s methods were not simple.
Grant was too uncomfortable with Eric’s well-groomed look and gentlemanly facade. Grant shot Nicole a look, wanting her to hurry up and send him away because he did not want to sit here with Eric the entire night! Xandria tried to take the opportunity to go in, but Kai stopped her. Kai smiled meaningfully. “You’re not familiar with him, so don’t go in and disturb their conversation.”
Xandria looked around and spoke in a delicate voice. “It’s rare that Mr. Ferguson visits. Wouldn’t it be too rude if I don’t go and greet him?” Although Kai’s eyes were smiling, there was no warmth in them. “He’s visiting the Stanton family. Are you a Stanton?” ‘Don’t try to take a mile when you’re given an inch’, Kai thought.
His voice when he said that was not loud enough for one person to hear. Xandria’s face suddenly turned pale Kai let out a laugh and said casually, “Xandria, go sit over there and chat with your grand-aunt. The driver will take you back at dawn.”
Eric also knew that he was not welcomed here and was satisfied with just one look at Nicole. After drinking a cup of tea, Erie did not stay any longer and got up to say goodbye. Finally, after sending him off, Grant turned around and left. Nicole turned and saw Xandria standing at the door, staring in the direction of the gate with a longing look.
The yearning expression on Xandria’s face could not be any less obvious! Nicole walked over calmly and passed by Xandria. Xandria could not help but call out to her “Nicole, why did Mr. Ferguson come here? Is he here to beg you to reconcile with him? Are you going to remarry him?”
Nicole paused in his steps. She tugged the shawl on her body. Chapter 681 Who Told You to Open the Gato? She raised her eyes and looked at Xandria. “Who told you to open the gate just now?”
