Gradually, Nicole felt that her breathing was starting to get difficult.Only then did Clayton slowly let go of Nicole’s lips. He lowered his gaze to look at her.Nicole was blushing and panting slightly. Her eyes were glittering with a watery clarity. Her lips were as bright and red as if she had smeared lip gloss on them.Clayton’s dark eyes were fixed on Nicole’s face. He unconsciously reached out to touch her lips.He almost lost control.His gaze was forbearing and restrained, and his voice was hoarse and deep.“I like it most when you coax me like this. Remember that in the future.”Nicole’s face instantly heated up. ‘He really doesn’t reel it in at all…’She gritted her teeth, fiercely pushed him away, turned around, ran in, and closed the door in one fluid motion.Clayton had a bright smile on his face. ‘She’s shy…’--The next day, Nicole woke up when the sun had fully risen.She saw that she had several missed calls from Logan and other unfamiliar numbers.Nicole
Nicole did not believe that Michael had done something wrong just because of a few words from the teacher.That was because she knew how sensible Michael was.The teacher nodded and looked at her phone. “Please wait a moment. The girl’s father just arrived at the entrance. I’ll go and get him.”Nicole nodded her head.As soon as the teacher left, Nicole was hesitating whether to tell Clayton about it.Lil Michael took her hand and spoke as if he could see her hesitation.He persuaded her. “It’s such a small matter. I believe that you can solve it, so don’t tell my daddy. We have to be mature people!”Nicole was speechless and curled her lips.Since Lil Michael already said so, what else could she say?‘Alright then…’Not long after.The teacher came in with a female student and her father.The female student had a round chubby face that looked very lovable.The father behind her looked to be in his fifties, but he was well-maintained and looked elegant. At this time, his f
Clayton stiffened slightly. He thought he had misheard.‘My daughter? Where did I get a daughter from?’Just as Clayton was about to ask what was going on, he suddenly had an epiphany.He remembered that Lil Michael always called Nicole “Pretty Lady” and treated her like his elder sister, so there was no generation gap between them.Moreover, with Nicole’s beautiful and young face, anyone would believe that she was Michael’s sister.Clayton hung up the phone and sighed when he saw the amount of missed calls he had.He calmly apologized in fluent French and ended the meeting early.During his drive to the school, he was already mentally prepared.He thought about how to explain this matter to the teacher and wondered how Nicole got to the school.Less than twenty minutes later.As soon as Clayton entered the appointed office, he found that the atmosphere inside was not quite right.A little girl was sobbing in her father’s arms.She looked so pitiful and cute.Nicole was si
Nicole froze.Clayton’s back faintly stiffened. He also heard it.He suddenly turned around and took Nicole’s hand to walk forward with their fingers interlocked.‘Haha! Ms. Sloan?!’ Clayton thought.The teacher looked at them and was a little confused by that action. ‘Why do they look more and more like a couple? When they were inside, Michael’s sister didn’t call him Dad the whole time either…’......Nicole pursed her lips. Her hand was tightly clutched by Clayton.She looked a little embarrassed and hastily changed the subject.“I thought I could solve it myself. I didn’t think that you’d still have to come.”The corners of Clayton’s mouth held a light smile. His gaze was warm and soft.“I’m used to this kind of thing. Michael just hasn’t gotten used to this place yet, but he’s always had a strong ability to adapt, so he’ll be fine soon.”Nicole nodded her head.“Did it delay your meeting?”Clayton squeezed her hand. His gaze drifted to her face.“I think it delayed y
Nicole walked over. Someone immediately went over to open the car door.Clayton sat inside and smiled at her.“Ms. Stanton, you’re so pretty today.”Nicole smiled and stroked her hair by her ear.“Mr. Sloan, I’ve heard this kind of praise so much until my ears get calluses.”Clayton froze for a moment, then his smile deepened.“It’s only right for you to get calluses from hearing this. After all, what I said comes from the heart.”Nicole rolled her eyes at him. ‘Clayton’s slick tongue must be his natural ability. I really can’t beat him in this aspect.”The driver hurriedly got into the car with his head bowed and tried to minimize his presence.Soon, they arrived at the venue.Clayton got out to open the door for Nicole.Once they were inside, many people came up to exchange pleasantries.Nicole chatted for a while and found an excuse to get out, then ran away by herself to sit on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief.In less than a minute, a tall figure stood behind he
Quavon Sloan was irritated and livid because of Clayton’s indifferent attitude, but he had to hold back on this occasion.The veins on Quavon’s face twitched slightly.The old friend smiled and spoke.“I really didn’t expect that Clayton is your son. I should’ve thought of it. He’s a Sloan and he’s from Liberty too, so it must have something to do with you!” The old friend laughed.Quavon sneered and smiled perfunctorily.“It’s his good fortune that he was reincarnated into my family.”Clayton’s dark eyes sank slightly. He then hooked his lips and said, “It’s more like my damnation, right?”Quavon’s face was gloomy. “Clayton!”“Hey, old friend, don’t get angry. Youngsters are always a little outspoken. If you have any misunderstandings, talk it out properly. I’ll leave you two father and son to talk and won’t disturb you…”The old friend had the good sense to leave.Quavon finally did not restrain his expression.“Clayton, did you lock up Isaac? Where did you send him to?”
Quavon sighed and shook his head with a look of disappointment toward Clayton.“When I die, you’ll naturally have your share in the Sloan family. You don’t have to be so afraid that your second uncle Isaac will threaten you.”“Mr. Sloan, don’t be blinded by hatred. In Mediania, you can’t treat human life as a child’s play!”“Right. After all, he’s your father and has raised you, so you should be grateful.”“Others can’t take away what’s yours, so why do you have to be so greedy?”......The surrounding people saw this and naturally related the whole thing to the family infighting and covered up the truth.The bit that was exposed was not true.Quavon’s words of accusation humiliated Clayton.In a short period of time, the good image that Clayton accumulated was ruined.Nicole really could not stand it anymore.She stepped forward and laughed with a clear and cold voice.“If I remember correctly, at the beginning of my cooperation with Clayton, I investigated the source of h
Clayton’s words were like a bomb that dropped in calm, still water.Kidnap?Just now, personal freedom was mentioned, and now, it involved kidnapping?The rich people from Liberty were so reckless.Everyone listened with apprehension.Quavon’s face sank. “What are you talking about?”“I’ve always looked at the evidence. I’ve long prepared the evidence and was just waiting for you to come to announce it, Father.”“Clayton…”Quavon’s tone was raised with a hint of warning.Clayton paused and let out a light laugh.He raised the wine glass in his hand to make a toast.“Father, this toast is to welcome you to Mediania. When you finally calm down and decide not to hurl mud on me, we can sit down and talk again.”After saying that, Clayton tilted his head and downed the wine in one go.He then put down his glass and smiled politely at the crowd.“Please excuse me. Farewell.”After saying that, Clayton looked at Nicole with a touch of guilt in his eyes.He said softly, “I’ll w
