NovelOnlineNadia was in Bridgedale at that moment, so Eric did not want to trouble her by asking her to hurry over.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis phone suddenly rang. A six-year-old boy picked his phone up from the table and passed it to him.
"Uncle Eric, is that your girlfriend calling?" Eric took his phone and had a look. Sure enough, it was a video call from Nadia.
Eric walked over to the balcony. He shut the glass door that separated the room from the balcony. The children did not go away. Instead, they pressed against the glass door, looking at him.
Eric accepted the video call and Nadia's voice drifted from the speakers. "Eric, happy new year." "Nadia, happy new year! Is it night over where you are?" "Yes! I just finished dinner and returned to my room." Nadia scratched her head. "I'm stumped. Just now a bunch of relatives kept askingwhen I'm going to marry you." Eric said with a smile, "What a coincidence. My relatives askedthe sthing today." Nadia teased and said, "Why don't we get it over with and get married?" The smile on Eric's face stiffened. After a few seconds, he said, "I'm not prepared to get married yet. I still find being alone more comfortable." "Did you talk to Layla? She was so angry the last time. I wonder if she has calmed down." Nadia sat on the sofa, picked her cup up, and drank swater.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEric said honestly, "I don't dare contact her." "Why are you such a coward? What are you afraid of? At most, you'll just get a scolding from her." "Even after she has berated me, I'm sure it won't change anything. In fact, I'm afraid of her getting angrier." Eric knew Layla well.
"Then, did you keep in touch with her parents? Don't tellthat you stopped contacting them because of this incident?" Nadia thought that running away from Layla's anger was not worth the loss of Avery's friendship. After all, Avery was Eric's savior. "I sent Avery a message, and she has senta reply," said Eric.
If things were normal, Avery would have invited him over for New Year's, but this year, Avery had not issued him an invite.
It was not that Avery was being petty but having him over would only intensify the awkwardness between him and Layla. Secondly, Elliot might get angry.
"That's good. I doubt Avery would cut ties with you over this incident," Nadia said with a smile. "What are you planning to do next?" Eric replied, "Nothing. I want to rest well at home." Eric, I have been pursuing you for s ne nany years. Although you rejected ne, you're still friends with me. Righ ow, Layla has confessed her eelings to you. Although you have ejected her as well, you don't dare contact her. You treat her differently fom how you treat me," Nadia said. Eric, you like Layla."

"You're lying," said Nadia, exposing his lies. "You were addressingby my first nall this while, but when I saw through you, you used my full name." Eric smiled helplessly. "You callednot to wisha happy new year but a sad one." "No, I'm not. I'm sincerely wishing you a happy new year. Not only do I wish you a happy new year, but I wish your happiness for all the days of your life." Nadia stared at Eric's face on her phone and sighed lightly, "I'm just worried that you have fallen out with them, so I'm just here asking what the situation is now." "They are busy celebrating New Year's too. They don't have the tto settle the score with me," Eric said in a relaxed tone. "I'm now playing with the children. I'll show you." Eric switched the camera on his phone and the nosy children eavesdropping on his conversation appeared on Nadia's screen. When she saw so many children leaning against the glass door eavesdropping, she was instantly amused and chuckled loudly. "You, too, should start looking for someone." Eric switched the camera back and said to Nadia, "Don't waste ton me. See if there are any suitable men around you!" "I'm younger than you. I'm not worried yet. Let's wait for a while more! In case you might be willing to marryone day!" Nadia said wistfully.
