    Erin forced a smile. “I’m d you understand, Ms. Kinsey.”


    N nodded. “I do understand, but I hope you’ll think things through in the future and avoid doing something so pointless.” Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    “Of course, I’ll keep that in mind!” Erin gritted her teeth in frustration, her gaze sharp and icy as she red at N.


    N smiled and turned to Damon. “Thank you for today, Mr. Sumner. I assume you and Ms. Hulle have more to discuss, so I’ll take my leave.”


    “Let’s have dinner another day as an apology,” Damon replied.


    “No need for that. I wouldn’t want to bebeled as someone who disrupts other people’s rtionships,” she said, stepping past Damon and leaving.


    Soon, only Erin and Damon remained in the private room.


    More


    It was the best and most secluded room in the restaurant, isted from others, allowing them to hear only faint conversations from nearby tables.


    Damon looked at Erin calmly, showing no signs of anger, but she couldn’t even meet his gaze. She knew he was upset.


    After a long silence, she finally broke it, unable to hold back any longer. “Damon… let me exin…”


    Damon chuckled. “What’s there to exin? Erin, the reason I kept you by my side was that you were obedient. If you’ve lost that quality, why should I keep you around?”


    Erin panicked, rushing toward him but stopping abruptly several steps away. “Damon… I didn’t mean to do it today. I just got confused for a moment.”

    Damon had no interest in N, but Erin’s behavior was unusual. Why did she feel that N was an exception?


    Erin opened her mouth, her face turning pale as she struggled to find the words, her palms sweating nervously.


    “I… I…” She didn’t know how to exin.


    The knowledge that N had a child with Damon had sent her into a panic. She feared that N would reveal the truth to him and had forgotten that, at this moment, N was just a stranger to Damon.


    Damon’s gaze was sharp, as if he could see right through Erin, causing her to tremble slightly.


    What could she say to ease his suspicions? Just as she felt she might crack under his intense stare, his


    phone rang.


    Damon nced at the screen before answering.


    After listening to something on the other end, he replied coldly, “I’ll be there soon.”


    Hanging up, he turned back to Erin. “If you can’t exin yourself, I’ll find out the truth myself.”


    Pale–faced, Erin rushed to rify. “Damon… I wanted to marry you, but then you suddenly proposed breaking off the engagement. I was scared… I thought you liked someone else. Among the women you’ve been meeting in Capitarnia, Ms. Kinsey is the most beautiful, so I acted impulsively…”
