The Divorced Billionaire Heiress

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 goodlooking.

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.

There was a moment of silence.

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.
