The Deserted Rich Beauty

The house in Imperial Gardens had two floors and was spacious and bright.
There was an elevator connecting both floors, so it did not hinder Eric's movements in his wheelchair.
Nicole went upstairs and glanced at the room.
Sure enough, everything was the same as when she left.
It looked like no time had passed since the last time she was here.
However, those memories only made her feel depressed, dull, and breathless.
It was as if a huge rock was pressing down on her chest, so heavy that it crushed her bones and organs.
Nicole used to love sitting on the balcony chair, looking forward to Eric's car suddenly appearing at the gates.
However, Eric never showed up.
Eric had never been in her room before, but all she could remember was him.She was so miserable back then.
Nicole curled up her lips indifferently.She casually pulled over a trash can and swept everything on the table into it.
The dressing was attached to her bedroom.
When she opened the door and went inside, everything was new with the tags still attached.
All the shoes and clothes were her size.
There was also expensive jewelry displayed on the closet island.
Nicole silently went out and did not take another look at it.
There was movement at the door.
When Nicole looked at the time, it was already 6:30 pm.
Time flew by.
She opened the door and saw Lucy standing apprehensively in front of the tall and fierce bodyguard.

Lucy looked even more afraid when she saw Nicole.
"M-Ms.Stanton, Mr.Ferguson said to invite you for dinner" Nicole nodded calmly.
"Alright." Lucy hurried downstairs.
Nicole went downstairs while looking at her phone.
Her high heels clicked against the stairs with every step.
The floor-to-ceiling window of the living room was open, letting the breeze in.
The dark patterns of the white brocade curtains floated and seemed to be dyed with the faint glow of dusk, creating a beautiful
picture.
Nicole walked down the stairs with her eyes lowered and looked much softer in the afterglow of the sunset.
Eric sat by his desk and just so happened to close his laptop and documents in front of him.
A thin blanket was draped over his legs.His strong and lean body seemed to be full of strength.He raised his brow and asked,
"Are you hungry?"
Lucy summoned her courage and struck up a conversation in the kitchen.
"Ms.Stanton, Mr.Ferguson has ordered for all your favorite dishes to be made." Nicole smiled faintly.
"I don’t eat at night.Just prepare a meal for my bodyguard later."
Of course, no one dared to persuade her.
"Then, you can accompany me."
Eric had not eaten much the entire day as he was waiting to share this meal with Nicole.
Nicole settled down on the chair opposite him.She picked up the magazine on the side and flipped through it, looking extremely
bored.
Eric wanted to talk to her but suddenly realized that the bodyguard behind her had been following her everywhere she went.

Even if Luca was silent, his presence could not be ignored.
The bodyguard was tall and burly.
His expressionless eyes were lowered, but Eric could vaguely feel that the bodyguard was constantly observing the
surroundings.
His fierce face was especially out of place with the current warm and beautiful scene.
When Eric looked up, he would certainly see the big bodyguard behind Nicole.
There was no way to avoid him.
Eric's gaze changed slightly.He looked at Nicole with a smile.
"Let your bodyguard rest and have dinner.There won't be any danger at home."
Eric knew that after such an accident, the Stanton family would definitely send someone to protect her.
Even Eric secretly made a lot of security arrangements for Nicole.
Luca stood there like a sculpture without even blinking.
Nicole smiled and slowly put down the magazine.
"I'm here to take care of you, and Luca is here to take care of me.It has nothing to do with whether there's danger or not.If you
feel inconvenienced, just ignore him." Eric choked.
‘Forget it...She's already here, so I shouldn't worry about her running away...I just need t o get used to this slowly’ His eyes
flickered slightly as he looked at the plate in front of him.
Eric's voice was gentle and alluring, with a hint of encouragement as he asked, "Since you're here to take care of me, why don't
you feed me?"
