Eric’s invitation because she did not want
to leave a negative impact at the

Grant gave his baby sister a heartfelt
look. Nicole smiled faintly, then stretched
out her hand to take Eric’s.
The people in front of them consciously
made way for the pair. Nicole carried her

forward without looking at Eric. Eric’s
palm was slightly cold. At that moment, h

years of marriage, they had never held a
wedding ceremony and he had never
taken the initiative to hold her hand. This
was the first time they held hands.
Nicole’s lingers were long and beautiful,
like a work’of art. Her hand was warm
and delicate, and he immediately etched
this feeling in his heart.
The band began the next song at the right
time. The refreshing and cheerful music
echoed in the banquet hall.
The moment Nicole’s hand landed on
Eric’s shoulder, their eyes met
momentarily. Eric’s dark and deep gaze
was affixed to her face. When his hand
rested on her slim waist, Nicole’s body
stiffened for a moment as she felt very
uncomfortable.

Nicole did a graceful turn and the two
came together again.
‘There’s a lot you’re not aware of, and I
don’t have to tell you anything.’ The
corners of her lip curled up gently with a
hint of mockery.
In their three years of marriage, he never
thought to understand her as his wife, so
what was the point of telling him anything
after their divorce?
To him, Nicole was just a passing
character in the past three years, but for
Nicole, this was an unforgettable lesson.
