Chapter 77 Invitation Erics breath hit my face , and his strong fragrance surrounded me .
I instinctively held my breath and quickly moved back .
I saw you were asleep , so I was just bandaging your wound Though I said this , I couldnt bring myself to look into Erics eyes .
My head dropped lower .
He shouldnt be able to tell that I was feeling guilty , right ? Is that so ? he responded casually .
Just as I was about to nod in agreement , his broad palm suddenly tightened around mine .
1froze , looking up in shock .
I hadnt noticed when he had gotten so close , but now , his handsome , devilish face was only an inch away Mine .
My mind went blank , and Temildnt think straight Suddenly , his hand lifted , and his cold fingertip gently brushed the corner of my lips .
I slowly widened my eyes , but before I could react , his arms wrapped tightly around my waist , and his chin rested on my shoulder .

I could feel his grip tighten around me , and my heart began to race uncontrollably What was this ? What did it mean ? Did he really like me ? Natashas words kept echoing in my mind , and I bit my lip , feeling like my thoughts were a tangled mess .
Eric , could you let go .
I deliberately kept my voice gentle .
He was silent for a few seconds before finally releasing me .

I froze , my face flushing immediately .
What was he doing ? Hadnt he just acted like nothing had happened ? As my mind raced , his weak voice broke the silence .
Im feeling a little dizzy .

Youre here acting all lovey dovey with this sidepiece behind my back ! Do you even care about me at all ? Hurrowed my brows and turned to look , only to see Jeremiah rushing over with a nasty expression .
Before I could react , he Prabbed me and pulled me away .
He then yanked Erics collar , gritting his teeth as he spoke , Jane is still my wife .
We havent officially divorced yet .
Youd better stay away from her ! Jeremiali had been harboring resentment since the last incident , and seeing Eric now , his anger flared .
If it werent for Erics identity , he probably wouldve punched him already .
