My Destiny Is To Become Billionaire’s Wife

Feeling the overwhelming tension emanating from Erica, Ansel gathered his courage and decided to speak up, attempting to regain control of the situation.

“What’s the matter with you? Why all of a sudden… You look really intimidating.”

Despite his determination, Ansel couldn’t escape his stuttering speech. It was all because Erica kept staring into his eyes, creating a dangerous proximity between them. The danger was so palpable that Ansel could feel Erica’s breath. From a different perspective, it might even be misunderstood that they were about to kiss. This paralyzed Ansel, causing his words to vanish. Honestly, no one has ever dared approach Ansel like Erica did. Normally, Ansel would push someone away or behave aggressively, as he usually did with flirtatious women. But for some reason, he couldn’t do that with Erica. Ansel couldn’t even think straight in this situation. He desperately wanted to ask Erica to back off a little but couldn’t easily put it into words. Why was it so? Ansel himself couldn’t explain it, let alone others.

“Hey, Ansel Brown.” After a moment of silence, Erica finally spoke up: “I have something to ask. Please answer me honestly, alright?”

“Alright. I agree.” Even though Ansel didn’t know what Erica wanted, he reluctantly agreed to follow her words in order to escape the overwhelming situation he found himself in.

“What is it?” Ansel asked impatiently, accompanied by a gentle suggestion, “But first, could you please take a step back? I feel a bit uncomfortable with your intense gaze, especially at such close proximity.”

Without saying a word, Erica immediately complied with Ansel’s request and took a step back. Her face was no longer close to Ansel’s. Ansel let out a sigh of relief, grateful that the intense pressure Erica had created had subsided. As for Erica, before she had a chance to speak, Nika interjected. Nika found the situation perplexing and was curious about what Erica was about to say.

“What is it that you want to ask Ansel, Erica?”

Nika’s words effectively shifted Ansel’s focus back to Erica. Seizing the opportunity, Erica began to speak.

“Ansel Brown, please pay close attention to what I’m about to say.” Erica’s tone carried a sense of urgency.

“I’m listening; go ahead and say it,” Ansel responded with enthusiasm, signaling his willingness to cooperate and reassuring Erica to speak her mind.

Without further hesitation, Erica took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and softly began to present:

“Approximately six months ago, you happened to rescue a girl who was trapped in the waste disposal area behind the JK Industrial Park, didn’t you?” Fixing her gaze on Ansel, Erica asked the question, patiently awaiting his response.

Ansel was listening intently when suddenly his eyes narrowed at Erica’s words. Memories of that day flooded Ansel’s mind. What Erica said is indeed true. Except for Kevin, who was present at the time, Ansel did not tell anyone else about saving the girl. So how does Erica know? That question crossed Ansel’s mind.

“You took her to the hospital and even paid for her hospital bills?” While Ansel was still confused, Erica continued to probe, not forgetting to observe Ansel’s reaction. Ansel’s facial expression seemed to indirectly confirm to Erica that everything was true.

“Is what I said true?” Erica concluded her statement, anxiously awaiting Ansel’s response.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

“That’s right. How did you know about all that?” Ansel asked, half surprised and half suspicious. His mind began to form doubtful questions.

“Do you remember the exact time and date?” Erica added, wanting to confirm with certainty.

“The 10th of October,” Ansel replied decisively. It seemed that the events of that day had left a lasting impression on Ansel’s memory.

“Why are you asking me this?” With the thought that had just crossed his mind, Ansel immediately inquired. “Could it be… you’re…?”

“That’s right, I am the girl you took to the hospital that day.”

Erica declared in an emotional voice, making Ansel’s eyes widen: “I’ve always been looking for my life-saving benefactor. And today, I finally found it. Unexpectedly, that person is a friend.”

Ansel suddenly felt overwhelmed by the information. He couldn’t believe that such an event had occurred in his life.

“If you hadn’t helped me that day, I might not have made it to this day. I sincerely thank you.” Erica choked back tears and continued, “I’m truly grateful to you.”

She then lowered her head, expressing her gratitude to Ansel. Caught off guard by the sudden turn of events, Ansel was unable to intervene.

Momentarily perplexed, but then regaining his composure, Ansel finally spoke up:

“Alright, Erica, please lift your head up. When you bow like that, it makes me feel like I’m aging prematurely.”

Upon hearing Ansel’s words, Erica slowly straightened herself. Their eyes met once again. It seemed that both of them were unsure of what to say next, and a comfortable silence filled the air.

Nika stood silently, observing the situation. Feeling that it was time for him to intervene, he decided to speak up and break the sudden silence.

“There’s something going on between the two of you, isn’t there?” Nika wondered, calling for the attention of the other two. “Can you please tell me?”

Ansel and Erica both turned their gazes toward Nika, who seemed puzzled. Faced with Nika’s earnest gaze, Erica and Ansel had no choice but to reveal the truth. And so, the story of that day was recounted.

…

“I can’t believe it.” Nika couldn’t contain his astonishment after hearing the story. “Can something like that really happen?”

Nika stopped looking at Ansel and turned to Erica as if seeking confirmation from both of them once again. Ansel responded with a shrug, while Erica simply chuckled. Their actions implied that they didn’t know how to comment on the situation. They themselves were shocked and found it hard to believe.

“It seems like the two of you are destined for each other.” Nika made a comment. “Last time, Ansel saved Erica. And this time, it’s the other way around, with Erica saving Ansel.”

Upon Nika’s conclusion, Ansel and Erica simultaneously locked eyes with each other. Life truly was mysterious and full of surprises. On that day, Ansel had simply saved Erica out of pure goodness. He could never have imagined that the good deed he had done would bear such sweet fruit. The universe had rewarded Ansel accordingly by bringing Erica into his life-the very person he had saved. And then Erica warned Ansel about the dangerous cancer disease, allowing him to seek timely treatment. Just as Nika had said, the two of them shared a fascinating and miraculous connection.
