When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel)

Chapter 1681 Provoke Him

Eric looked at her with sympathy. "There are plenty of fish in the sea, so why obsess over Sven?" Sven, the bodyguard, was unlike any other he had known. His aura outshone many, truly making him stand out from the crowd.

"You simply don't understand. For a woman like me, having him as my boyfriend feels like a dream." Charlotte knew she was ordinary.

She was truly enamored with Sven. In her heart, Sven was akin to the leading man she'd seen on television.

Eric handed her back the ring. "Here, take this. Consider it a consolation."

Eric had always been generous. Besides, for someone like him who didn't even have a girlfriend, this diamond ring was essentially useless.

Charlotte should have been happy, yet she couldn't bring herself to feel happy. "I don't want it. I want to wait for the person I love to give me something like a diamond ring."

For the first time in his life, Eric had been rejected by a girl when he tried to give her a gift. He began to question his own charm. Could it be that I'm really less appealing than a bodyguard?

"Let's do this. Since you've broken up anyway, so why not become my pretend girlfriend? I'll even pay you," Eric suggested. "You're upset, aren't you? Make Sven feel the same way. You can use me to provoke him a bit. I'm a popular celebrity, you know. If Sven finds out that you started dating me right after your breakup, he'll be livid. Haven't you watched TV dramas? Many women use this tactic to make men think they're highly sought after."

Charlotte, with a face streaked with tears and a runny nose, looked at Eric. "Will this work?"
