My Destiny Is To Become Billionaire’s Wife

“Erica,” Ansel called, wanting to change the direction of the conversation. However, Ansel’s attitude, as if she were still preoccupied with what had just happened, made Erica misunderstand. Erica thought that Ansel wanted to argue with her.

“What’s wrong?” Erica asked anxiously, looking at Ansel with hesitation. “If you’re not satisfied with my opinion, then I apologize. I was just speaking my mind. I know it may not align with your point of view. So, therefore…”

“It’s not about that,” Ansel interjected, cutting off Erica’s confusion. “I understand what you meant.”

To reassure Erica and make her believe his words, Ansel offered a gentle smile. His facial muscles relaxed at that moment.

“Is there something else you want to tell me?” Erica asked cautiously.

“Yes, I do,” Ansel replied.

“What is it?” Erica asked, her curiosity and interest piqued.

“I want to say…” Ansel hesitated for a second before finally gathering the courage to continue, “About my mother insulting you. Erica, I sincerely apologize to you.” Ansel’s voice carried a tone of guilt. He reproached himself for not being able to do anything to protect and defend Erica.

Erica thought Ansel was talking about something serious, but he wasn’t. Seriously, Ansel likes to overreact to something, making Erica both nervous and anxious.

“I don’t mind that,” Erica smiled innocently and said, “don’t let it affect your mood.”

“Why is that?” Ansel asked in surprise, “You were heavily insulted by my mother and baselessly accused. You should be angry with my mother, maybe even hate her.”

Ansel felt the injustice that Erica had endured. But Erica received the news with admirable composure. Suddenly, Ansel felt more love for Erica. And of course, Ansel felt proud of Erica too.

“Ansel, I believe your mother must have her reasons for doing so. She probably loves you very much,” Erica affirmed, her smile gentle and sweet. “A mother’s love for her children is incredibly immense.”

“But sometimes mothers can be blinded and make mistakes too,” Ansel added, his voice bitter as he thought of his own mother, and Erica nodded in agreement.

“You should set aside unpleasant matters,” Erica said. “Your mother’s health is not good right now, so it’s best to avoid causing her distress.”

Ansel thought Erica was right, so he nodded in agreement.

“Ansel, why don’t you tell your mother about Desi?” Erica suddenly became curious. “If you do, maybe your mother will change her perspective.”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“I really want to,” Ansel honestly admitted, “but it’s not the right time. I am concerned that Desi has manipulated my mother to the point where she won’t believe what I say.”

“How can that be? You’re her own child,” Erica said in disbelief.

“As you can see, my mother would rather believe Desi than trust me.” Ansel sighed in frustration. “Furthermore, I don’t have evidence of Desi’s betrayal, so my mother will likely accuse me of lying and framing Desi. Not to mention, the Scott and Brown families have a significant business contract together; now severing ties would result in substantial losses for the company.”

Upon hearing Ansel’s reasons, Erica nodded in understanding and silently thought that Ansel was a truly remarkable man for being able to endure for the sake of others. It was another positive trait that made Erica hold Ansel in even higher regard and love him even more.

“That’s really challenging for you,” Erica remarked, feeling sorry for Ansel. “Nevertheless, you should stay calm and composed to find a resolution. Don’t act impulsively.”

“I know that. That’s why I asked my mother to give me time to think.”

“That’s a very wise decision,” Erica praised. “I believe you will find the most effective way to deal with the difficulties.” Erica smiled warmly, encouraging Ansel’s spirit.

“Thank you,” Ansel replied with a smile. Then Ansel asked Erica, “What do you think I should do now?”

“Instead of resisting in a negative way, why don’t you prove to your mother that your decision is right?”

“I think the same as you, and I will definitely do my best to convince my mother to support me,” Ansel revealed, feeling happy that his and Erica’s perspectives aligned. Indeed, finding someone who understands oneself is very difficult. Ansel secretly thanked fate for allowing him to meet Erica.

“Yeah.” Erica smiled brightly, responding to Ansel’s excitement: “I believe you can do it.”

They talked for a long time that night about various things until the clock struck 9 o’clock. When Ansel was about to leave, he noticed that it was raining outside.

Ansel looked out the window, feeling contemplative and optimistic at the same time. “Looks like the rain won’t stop,” he said, a hint of sadness in his voice. “But I have to go home.”

After saying that, Ansel stood up and headed towards the door. In truth, he wanted to ask Erica if he could stay overnight. However, upon further thought, Ansel didn’t want to bother Erica any further. Besides, there was no guarantee that Erica would agree to his request. Ansel understood better than anyone that Erica didn’t want to create any trouble or misunderstanding in their relationship. Ansel needs to respect what Erica wants.

“No need to see me off. Just make sure to lock the door carefully,” Ansel said as he noticed Erica also standing up to accompany him.

Despite Ansel’s request, Erica still walked with him to the door. As the door opened, a chilly gust of wind rushed in, hitting Ansel’s entire body as he stood in front of the door. Looking outside, we can see that the rain is very heavy, and it is unknown when it will stop.

“Well, I’ll head home then. Thank you again.” Ansel turned back, smiling at Erica and asking for help: “Erica. Do you have an umbrella or a raincoat for me to borrow? I don’t want to get wet before I get to the parking lot.”

“You can’t leave in this weather.” After hesitating several times, Erica finally managed to express her thoughts.

“I know, but…” Ansel said he was really unsure of what to do.

Erica looked at Ansel with a sincere and warm gaze. “I don’t want you to go out in such heavy rain. It would be very dangerous. You can stay overnight.”

Ansel was surprised but also happy and grateful. He was so content that he automatically smiled and agreed. “Thank you, Erica. It’s great to have you for such help.”

“I hope you don’t mind sleeping on the sofa.” Erica hesitated to continue.

“Not at all,” Ansel excitedly replied.

The two returned to the living room, continuing their conversation and sharing their thoughts, dreams, and hopes. Quiet stories and laughter filled the air, creating a warm and affectionate atmosphere between them.

Tonight is definitely a night Ansel will never forget.
