Grant’s face flushed in embarrassment.“That was for work...”Nicole snorted. “Even Logan didn't go for something trivial like liaising with the companies below, but you ran over eagerly. What other reason could it be besides to find Aida?”Aida slowly stood up. Her eyes were already a little red.Grant hurriedly walked over and blocked the view of the others, holding her gently in his arms and patting her.“I was just passing by. Lil N’s just babbling nonsense...”Aida’s voice choked.“But you said that you’ve never been there before, and you’ve never thought about going there to see me. You said that every time you went there, you’d just go around instead...”Grant looked at her with a complex expression and felt his heart ache. He wiped her tears away, somewhat at a loss.“Why are you crying? It’s not important whether I went or not. At that time, the decision was yours…”Aida froze and lowered her head, crying even harder.Without caring about anything else, Aida pushed
Aida choked as she spoke. There was a sadness in her voice that could not be hidden.“When I began to make a profit, I learned that the elites were hosting a party that your brother would be attending. I sought out a lot of connections to be able to get in there to meet him. That time, I didn’t dare to go up to him and identify myself. I tried to get his contact information from others indirectly, and it took me several days to just send him a text message. Strangely, he knew that it was me.”Nicole listened intently from the side.It was clear that Grant and Aida were not people to be caught up in love. However, what they experienced felt like when someone died and came back to life.There was a deep-rooted silence.“Then, you guys got back together again?”Nicole asked.Aida took a deep breath and sighed.“Yeah, I brought it up first. I told him that I couldn’t forget him. If he’s still single, we can try to get back together. Of course, if he’s not willing, just forget that
Aida frowned in confusion. “Really? He likes children?”With Grant’s appearance, he could make children cry just by standing there and not talking.Did he like children?Nicole nodded.“Don’t just look at how cold he is. He’s actually very patient with kids. Otherwise, how would my second brother become a top student? My third brother was also always in the top ranks.”Aida looked thoughtfully into the distance.Nicole paused before continuing.“I think that you two love each other enough. There’s just some misunderstanding in the middle, but you just have to resolve them. It’s no big deal! You still have to look ahead. What matters is that you’re together now.”In the end, it was Grant who did not give Aida a sense of security.Maybe Grant was also carefully testing Aida’s likes and dislikes.Aida said she did not want to get married, so they got engaged instead.She said she did not want to have children, so Grant never brought it up.Grant never imposed his thoughts on h
Nicole walked over and subconsciously took his arm, but Clayton suddenly dodged at the last second, so she only grabbed air.She was speechless.Nicole looked at Clayton in shock.This was the first time Clayton refused her initiative.Clayton coughed twice and looked at the person in front of him awkwardly, smiling.“Please go ahead, Chairman Stanton...”Clayton extended his hand in gesture.Nicole subconsciously looked up to see Floyd’s dark eyes glaring at her.Floyd thought, ‘This no-good daughter! Does she not want her dozens of suitors and male fans anymore?’Nicole sheepishly withdrew her hand and turned to take Floyd’s arm.She smiled. “Daddy, please take a seat...”Floyd snorted coldly and turned around to leave. He did not want to pay attention to her.The butler watched from the side and laughed. The house was rarely this lively. If only Kai was here as well…The meal was considered lively, and they video-called Kai halfway. It was nighttime where he was. Kai lo
The Stanton family could not seal the mouths of everyone who saw Nicole, let alone deliberately erase all traces of her.That was because the preparations they made had always been for a confrontation.It was strange.Nicole frowned, and a doubt flashed in her mind, but she felt that it was impossible. ‘Why would Eric meddle in other people’s business?’Grant sat there with a cold and solemn face. No one knew what he was thinking.......After lunch, Nicole ignored Floyd’s request for her to stay and insisted on leaving with Clayton.She was on her own turf. What was there to be afraid of?On the road.Clayton drove and smiled when he saw that Nicole was lost in thought. His eyes were very warm.“What are you thinking?”“Nothing. Just curious about who would meddle.”Clayton paused before speaking in a light tone.“Is there a need to think about it? It must be Mr. Ferguson...”Nicole looked at Clayton in shock.Clayton’s side profile was so handsome and affectionate. His
Nicole pursed her lips. When the words came to her mouth, she suddenly felt that what Eric wanted might not be these words of gratitude.However, Nicole could not give him what he wanted.She did not have anything to offer but this.“Thank you, Mr. Ferguson.”Eric choked, and he felt like his blood had stopped flowing.“For what?”Eric involuntarily squeezed his phone tightly.Nicole said, “You were the one who helped to block the news regarding Isaac’s incident, right?”Eric paused and was silent for a few seconds.“How did you know?”Nicole did not say anything and glanced at Clayton, who was focused on driving.Eric smiled. His tone when he spoke was slightly languid.“It’s nothing. It was just a small effort. I already showed him mercy by not stabbing him instead.”Nicole tried to appear calm.“No matter what, I still have to thank you. When you come back, I... Clayton and I will treat you to dinner.”Eric stood there. The blood seemed to freeze in his veins.He sti
They thought that there would be smoke, but it was silent both at home and abroad.However, Floyd did not let down his guard.Luca arrived at Nicole’s side as scheduled and basically never left her side.A few days passed.Sully sent news that the cover shoot was completed. The several different styles were simply stunning.Now, the most difficult part was to select one out of these stunning photos as the cover page.That was even more difficult than shooting.Sully did not mind sending a few photos to Nicole so that she could help to pick.After all, it was related to Naomi’s influence and Harvey’s future.Nicole had just clicked on it before she froze in awe.It was simply too impactful. The red and blue background made a nice contrast. Coupled with the photographer’s superior skills, when Naomi and Harvey stood back-to-back, it looked like a collision and fusion of the two cultures.It was a remarkably shocking visual experience.Upon closer look, Nicole saw that both Na
In order to celebrate Harvey’s skyrocketing commercial value, Nicole invited Clayton out for lunch.Clayton was very busy lately and basically disappeared during the day. He did not come home until very late at night, so they had missed each other several days in a row.Nicole suddenly thought of him because Sully mentioned this matter and told Nicole to express his dissatisfaction with Clayton.Clayton had not answered Sully’s phone calls for several days.Nicole gladly agreed.She thought she arrived at the private kitchen ten minutes early and that Clayton was not there yet.However, when she went in, she saw that Clayton was already sitting inside.She pushed the door and raised an eyebrow.“How did you come here so early when you’re so busy?”Clayton smiled and looked at her with warm eyes.“Of course, I can’t be late for lunch with you.”Nicole looked at the time. “It’s still ten minutes before our appointment. When did you arrive?”Clayton said, “I only came half an
