The Divorced Billionaire Heiress chapter 183
“It’s true! Ingrid also saw it. Nicole bought the Patek Philippe that you like. You just need to wait for your
gift! Hahaha…“ Keith could not help but share what he saw with Eric.
This knowledge made Eric a little surprised and depressed.
Eric suppressed the joy in his heart and pretended to be calm. His voice was deep as he said, “Alright,
I’m hanging up.“
Originally, Eric did not plan to celebrate his birthday this year. However, now it seemed like he needed to
host a big party so that he could invite Nicole.
In the previous years, Eric had always celebrated his birthday with a few close friends.
Eric recalled that before the divorce, Nicole seemed to look forward to celebrating his birthday, but back
then, he did not like to be alone with her, so he had always politely refused. However, she still prepared
gifts for him every year.
When Eric thought of this, he immediately called Mitchell.
“Where are the gifts from my previous birthdays?“ The sudden question stunned Mitchell, but he soon
reacted.
“President, the expensive gifts are kept in the safe and the collection shelf.“
Eric panicked because he could not seem to remember what gifts Nicole had given him in those three
years.
“What about the ones from Nicole?“
Mitchell paused for several seconds before he asked slowly, “President, which year are you referring to?“
Eric’s eyes were cold. His voice was deep as he said, “ All of them.“
Mitchell coughed slightly to clear his throat, then braced himself for what was to come.
“For the first year, Ms. Stanton gave you a ring, but… You lost it…“
Mitchell mumbled in a small voice to help Eric recall this event.
Eric’s face sank for a moment. His gaze was ashen, and his heart suddenly clenched.
He felt a throbbing pain.
Eric suddenly recalled that he had never gotten her a ring because he was too lazy for such formalities.
However, Nicole bought them the rings.
Eric wore it for two days and felt uncomfortable with it, so he casually chucked it in one of his pockets.
Later, it was gone…
Mitchell continued, “For the second year, Ms. Stanton gave you a scarf that she knitted by hand, but you
casually gave it to Wendy Quade, which she later threw away…”
Before Eric could react, Mitchell hurriedly finished his sentence in one breath. “Ms. Stanton didn’t give
you anything for the third year…“
There was dead silence over the phone.
Eric felt a suffocating pain, like his heart was torn apart. His body stiffened, and his conviction collapsed
slightly.
Suddenly, Eric realized that wearing out a person’s enthusiasm was an extremely mundane and sinful
thing.
He had personally worn out Nicole’s passion.
Thus, she did not even bother to give him anything for the third year.
The ring and the scarf she gave him were lost.
At that time, Eric did not feel anything, but today, he suddenly found it hard to breathe.
Eric did not want to look deeper into it as he was afraid that he would not be able to accept the truth.
He threw his phone to the side and ran like a madman to the coatroom. He took out all his jackets one by
one and carefully searched every pocket.
By the end of it, his clothes were piled up into a mountain, but he still could not find the ring.
It was futile because he would never be able to find it.
