chapter2107

"I'm glad you finally realized that," Alan said.

Eric didn't want to talk to them anymore, so he left the car and headed toward his room.

Ines wanted to chase after him to explain things, but Alan stopped her. "Let him think it over alone. As parents, we can't make decisions for him his whole life."

A sense of loss appeared in Ines' eyes, and she nodded stiffly. "Eric is so outstanding. Why won't he find a good girl, get married, and start a family?"

"I wish I hadn't let him enter the acting industry." Alan had always looked down on the acting profession. "Wouldn't it be better to be a doctor like me and find a woman in the same industry?"

The two of them couldn't understand the mindset of young people, so they could only let Eric be.

Eric stayed in his room by himself. He took out his phone, thinking of contacting Cecilia, but soon put it away.

After sitting in a trance until the sky began to darken, he couldn't stand it anymore and finally called Cecilia.

Meanwhile, Cecilia and Nathaniel were strolling down Long Avenue in Drocver.

They had been there a few times before, but never had time to wander.

It was rare for them to be outside with nothing urgent to deal with, so Cecilia suggested that they walk around.

At that moment, her phone rang.

Nathaniel looked over and saw Cecilia unlocking her phone. Eric's name appeared on the screen.

Frowning, he said, "Answer it quickly. Let's see what he wants to say."

Nathaniel was more impatient than Cecilia.

Cecilia tapped on the answer button, thinking of seizing the opportunity to clarify things with Eric.

Eric's pleasant voice came through the phone. "Ms. Smith, I'm really sorry about today."

"It's fine. Let bygones be bygones." Cecilia paused, then continued, "Actually, I have something I wanted to tell you. Since you called now, let's talk about it over the phone."

Eric's heart instantly skipped a beat. He naturally knew that Cecilia was going to answer the probing question he had asked earlier today.

"Okay, go ahead," he said.

"I don't know if you genuinely like me, but I want to tell you that I don't have any romantic feelings for you," Cecilia enunciated.

Eric felt his heart sink. "Mm-hmm." Follow current nov?ls on find?novel.net

Cecilia then added, "What happened today caused a misunderstanding with your parents. In the future, let's just continue to interact like ordinary colleagues and friends Please explain things clearly to you parents."

Those few sentences stated Cecilia's stance.

She preferred to remain an ordinary colleague with Eric rather than accept his feelings.

Eric understood everything then. His throat felt tight. "All right, I got it. Don't worry; such a misunderstanding won't happen again."

"Good. Then, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up now," Cecilia replied.

Just as she was about to end the call, Eric couldn't control himself anymore and said, "Wait a moment! Cecilia! don't want to hide my true feelings anymore. Cecilia, I like you. I know this will make things difficult, for you, but don't worry I dont need you to accept me."

Eric's Adam's apple bobbed, and he continued, "Hust want to tell you that I like you, and I've always

remembered how you helped monet

back when we were abroad. Without you, there would be no me. So, no matter how you think of me in the future, I will always regard you as the most important person in my life."

With that, he hung up first.

Cecilia stood frozen in place.

Nathaniel stood in front of her, looking down at her with an unreadable emotion in

his eyes.

My wife's too attractive. And she attracts the best kind of admirers: Calvin, and now Eric...
