In the parking lot.Nicole was just about to get into the car when someone grabbed her hand.She looked over and saw that Eric had been waiting here at some point.“Why are you here?”“I wanted to talk to you.”Eric looked at her. His figure was straight, slender, and defined, but he was exuding a gloomy chill.Nicole paused. “Eric Ferguson, you still don’t get it? It’s impossible between us...”Eric gnashed his teeth.“Keith and his ex-wife stirred up such an ugly mess in the beginning, but they could still start over. Why can’t we?”Nicole said, “I won’t comment on what kind of person Ms. Lehman is, but I will never make such a choice.”Her voice turned cold. “Eric Ferguson, I’m not like others. I’ll never look back.”Eric’s face gradually turned ashen.She pried his hand away slowly and looked at him indifferently.Eric was stung by her indifference and suddenly reacted violently.He clutched her wrist and pressed her to the car. His hand subconsciously exerted some fo
The parking lot was quiet.It was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping to the ground could be heard.Nicole glared at Eric angrily. Her expression was cold and detached.Her voice and every word she said were like needles stabbing into his heart.“I’m warning you. If you dare to force yourself on me and get me pregnant, I’d rather jump off a building than keep your child, so don’t even dream about it! Eric Ferguson, I’ll never do something that I don’t want to do just because someone is forcing me to. If you dare to make a move on me, I’ll fight you till my final breath!”Nicole felt like she had used up all her strength after saying those words.She pulled the car door open, got in, started the engine, and drove away.Eric stood there. His lips moved, and he suddenly let out a breath.His phone rang.Keith’s voice came through.“How are things going, Ferg? I didn’t disturb you, right? Have you taken her away? Don’t forget to put the drugs in her wine so Nicole beco
When Mr. Anderson saw Nicole’s car, he was a little surprised, but he soon welcomed her in joyfully.“Miss, have you eaten yet? I can smell alcohol on you. Have you been drinking? Do you want me to make a hangover tea for you?”Nicole smiled. “I didn’t drink. It’s probably just the smell of my clothes. I don’t have much appetite either. You should rest early, Mr. Anderson.”Mr. Anderson smiled lovingly. “Alright, you too.”Nicole smiled and went straight upstairs.When she passed by the second floor, she saw Grant sitting in the living room reading emails.Grant was a little surprised to see Nicole.“You’re back?”Nicole said, “Mm, where’s Dad?”“He’s resting.”Nicole nodded. “I’ll go back to my room then?”Grant nodded in thought as he looked at Nicole’s back with a slight frown.Even Grant could feel that something was wrong with Nicole, which meant that something went really wrong.Nicole went back to her room and filled the tub to take a bath.She also had a good mass
When Nicole heard this, she paused and went silent.She looked at the ground and sat there in silence.Grant pursed his lips. “If you don’t tell me, I can ask Logan where you went today and what people did you meet, then I’ll find out who bullied you.”Nicole bit her lower lip, took a deep breath, and said in a slightly hoarse voice.“Big Brother, I saw Livia Lehman today.”Grant frowned.Nicole sniffled.“She’s Keith Ludwig’s ex-wife. She was doing so well with Nathaniel before, but somehow, she got together with Keith again and even got pregnant with Keith’s child. She even gave up her career.”Grant wrinkled his brow and did not make a sound.Nicole paused and spoke hesitantly.“That son of a b*tch Eric Ferguson drank too much and tried to take advantage of me, and I scolded him. That’s why I was in a bad mood.”Grant’s gaze instantly sank coldly.“He wanted to harass you?”Nicole gritted her teeth. “Well, he didn’t do anything too excessive. He didn’t dare to do anythi
Early morning.Nicole was in a daze when she heard someone knocking on the door and other voices calling her.She thought that she was hallucinating.After all, no one in the Stanton family would disturb her in the midst of a good dream.It must be an illusion!However, the knock on the door was incessant, and there seemed to be the sound of claws scratching the door.Nicole could not stand it anymore and sat up. When she listened carefully, she realized that it was not an illusion.She walked barefoot on the carpet and opened the door. Tigger fell into the room at once.Tigger was round like a fat little piglet.It looked like a little piglet in tiger fur.Nicole wrinkled her eyebrows and glared at it deliberately.“Tigger, don’t think I’ll let you off the hook just because you’re cute!”Tigger rolled on the ground twice and went to bite on Nicole’s nightgown aggrievedly.“You’re the most beautiful Mama in the world! Your brother, Grant, asked me to come over to wake you
Last night, Nicole had really lost her temper.She should not have been like that.How could she take the negative energy she got from Eric and transfer it to another person?It was not fair to Clayton.When Clayton heard the footsteps behind him, his body stiffened slightly.He slowly turned around and looked at Nicole. His handsome face was gentle. The tiredness on his face was somewhat hidden.Nicole was a little heartbroken, but Clayton just smiled and opened his arms. His voice was extremely gentle.“Surprise! Are you happy to see me?”Nicole paused and suddenly felt that her nose was sore. She felt like she became more vulnerable.Without much thought, she pounced on him.The two of them embraced each other tightly as if no one else existed around them.Nicole could smell Clayton’s familiar warm and soothing scent.They called and texted to tell each other about their daily life.However, Nicole had never said that she missed him.Especially at this moment, she miss
Grant’s voice was clear and cold. “Clayton must’ve been too embarrassed to come in to see us, so he abducted Lil N.”“Ms. Stanton just left like that without telling us…”The butler watched Nicole grow up since Nicole was a child, so he treated her as his family.Whenever Nicole fell in love, she was not like her usual self, so they were always worried that she would get bullied.Grant coldly snorted.“You know her temper. She can never think straight when she’s in love and forgets about her goal of being filthy rich…”......In the car.Soft and gentle music was playing in the background. Clayton and Nicole did not see each other for a long time, so they were still holding hands. No one wanted to break free.Nicole just let Clayton hold her tightly. Her ears gradually turned red, and her heart felt very warm.Suddenly, Nicole noticed that Clayton parked in front of the supermarket.She could not help but ask, “Did you go to the wrong place?”Clayton replied, “No, I’ll buy
Clayton smiled and stared straight ahead.Nicole said, “You’re lucky to get him!”Clayton chuckled and said, “Susan took care of Michael since he’s a baby. She used to work for the Sloan family and has a good relationship with Michael’s biological father. When I left the Sloan family, Susan quit her job and followed me to take care of Michael.”Nicole nodded. “No wonder you guys trust her…”Clayton’s gaze darkened slightly.“Because many times before, Susan found out that someone was secretly trying to harm Michael. I was distracted at the time, and if it wasn’t for her, I don’t know what would’ve happened…”The atmosphere was heavy all of a sudden.Nicole sort of regretted mentioning this topic.Fortunately, they soon arrived at the apartment.Clayton carried two bags effortlessly and got on the elevator.Nicole pressed the button to their floor. Clayton raised his eyebrows and did not make a sound.Soon, they arrived at Clayton’s door.Clayton opened the door, and Nicole
