Chapter 2472 You Can Pursue Me
“I’m sorry.”
Eric blurted out in a low voice.
It seemed that the apology that he had been stewing on was not that difficult to say.
Why did he have to make things worse when he could solve the problem with these two words?
Eric did not feel much better when he saw Selena suffer, apologize, and act indifferent.
He had only one feeling, and that was that he had screwed up very badly.
Selena thought she had misheard, so she raised her eyes to look at him.
Eric’s chiseled face was reflected in her eyes. He was shrouded in a halo that made him look
exceptionally good-looking.
Eric was silent for a moment before he said in a deep voice, “I came to apologize. What I said just now
was inappropriate, so I take it back. Please don’t take it to heart. We’re friends, and I don’t mean to
look down on your past. You’re brave and upright to be able to break free from your past marriage.
There’s nothing to mention, so I won’t bring it up again.”
Selena raised her eyes and met his shallow gaze.
Her anger did not dissipate completely, but at least she was not as angry as before.
She thought that Eric was humane for once.
Was Eric just testing her bottom line by spouting all that nonsense just now?
Hah!
Selena did not speak and continued to look at him.

Eric took a deep breath and glanced at her slowly.
“Are you still angry? I brought you a present.”
Selena sneered and thought, ‘Am I the kind of woman who gets easily bribed with gifts? How
ridiculous!’
Eric took out a check from his pocket and handed it over.
Selena was taken aback for a moment when she saw the string of numbers.
The stiff expression on her face disappeared in an instant. She could not help but raise her eyebrows.
Her surprised eyes lit up.
“$10 million?!”
Selena took it and could not help but smile.
“It’s real!”
Seeing how her expression changed so quickly, Eric silently heaved a sigh of relief.
“You deserve it. Although you left before I told you to, I won’t renege on this.”
Selena twitched the corners of her mouth. Her eyes were shining brightly.
“That’s what I’m talking about! Turns out that you’re here to give me money. In that case, I forgive you
for coming uninvited.”
“Thanks for your forgiveness…”
Eric said sarcastically.
Selena snorted softly. For the sake of money, Selena would let him go.
“You’re welcome. This is just a trade, so we don’t owe each other anymore. It’s best if you don’t come
here again so as not to be misunderstood.”
Selena did not want to hear any more insults from his mouth.
It was humiliating.
Eric was not very happy when he heard that. Instead, his face became gloomier.
“So, are you still mad at me?”
Selena frowned slightly and thought that something was wrong.
“Why do you make it sound like I’m throwing a tantrum? I’m just stating the facts. We haven’t reached
the point where you can coax me because I’m throwing a tantrum. You don’t have to do this.”
Selena looked like she wanted to draw the line with him.
Some things were better explained in advance.
Otherwise, everyone would feel awkward in the end.
If Selena had to choose between Eric and Zachary, she would not hesitate to choose Zachary.
There was no doubt about it.
Who would not want a sweet-talking boyfriend who put her on a pedestal every day?
If she dated Eric, a rich man with a long face, she would be no different than a nanny!
She was not cut out to be a nanny.
Selena wanted to be someone else’s goddess!
Thinking of this, Selena could not wait to draw the line with Eric.
Eric pondered for a moment before he frowned and looked at her.
“You don’t understand what I mean?”
“What do you mean?”
Selena looked at him sincerely with confusion.
She felt that she had already made it very clear. Eric did not want her to covet him, right?
This was a simple task.
Eric was silent for a few seconds before he answered with restraint.
“I didn’t mean to belittle you. I came to apologize to you, and I wanted to tell you that you can like me
and pursue me. This is your freedom.”
After he finished speaking, he stared at Selena’s expression motionlessly.
Selena was not as happy as he imagined.
On the contrary, she looked bewildered and resistant.
Eric felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over his head. His face gradually turned cold.
‘This must be a test! Surely…’ Selena thought.
She became vigilant all of a sudden.
Eric scolded her first, and then gave her a check for $10 million.
This was the carrot-and-stick approach, right?
Selena was familiar with this method.
If she dared to agree to his words, he would just humiliate her later.
Selena’s eyes fluttered. She looked at the glowing rainbow outside the window and pondered on her
word choices before she said, “Mr. Ferguson, I feel your sincerity, but I won’t do anything that goes
beyond our ordinary friendship. I’m self-aware, and I know not to believe in fairytales like Cinderella. I
won’t hope to marry into a wealthy family. I believe that only well-matched couples with similar
backgrounds will have stable and long-lasting marriages. I’m not worthy of you, Mr. Ferguson, so I will
never dare to dream about you. I know my sense of proportion, and I won’t overstep my bounds.”
Selena thought there was nothing wrong with what she said.
Eric should be happy, right?
As a result, she squinted her eyes and saw that Eric was looking at her coldly as if he was dissatisfied
with her answer.
Eric was actually a good man apart from his sharp tongue.
Unfortunately, his sharp tongue was enough for Selena to dislike him.
She was very satisfied.
Eric was silent for a moment before he walked out.
He was exuding a cold and oppressive vibe.
If he stayed any longer, he was afraid that he would lose control of his emotions.
Selena waved her hands excitedly.
“Goodbye, Mr. Ferguson! Drive safely!”
Eric’s back stiffened slightly. Then, he went downstairs without looking back.
Selena held the $10 million check in her hand tightly and was elated.
Her second branch could open so soon!
Hahahahaha...
Selena took a deep breath and immediately took a photo and sent it to Mitchell. Coոtent of

She typed. [Mr. Crawford, may I ask how I can cash this check?]
Selena was speechless.
What the hell!
How could she believe that the b*stard Eric would be so charitable?!
Selena took a deep breath to suppress the anger in her heart.
That motherf*cker!
This was a worthless check!
Eric said that he did not come to play tricks on her, huh?
Selena gritted her teeth and really regretted thinking that Eric was not that bad.
No, she was wrong.
Eric was simply worthless!
Selena tore the check into pieces and threw it in the trash can.
It was as if that was not a check, but Eric himself.
