Nicole’s face sunk. “They fought?”Ian nodded. “Neither was willing to compromise. Yvette hit him, and Sean yelled at her. Julie already drove out to chase Yvette.”Nicole let go of Clayton. Her tone turned cold.“Where’s Sean?”“He’s still there...”Before Ian could finish, Nicole had already run out.Clayton sighed helplessly and chased after Nicole.In the banquet hall, the small commotion drew the attention of many people.It was quite lively tonight.Sean stood at the door. His expression was still glum. His eyes looked out into the darkness of the night, angry but very worried.A teenage girl stood beside him, looking timid, and hesitantly spoke.“Brother, did I say something wrong?”......Sean did not answer. Nicole already came out with a gust of cold wind.Before leaving, she threw a complex glance at Sean.Nothing was said.However, Sean opened his mouth to call out to her.“Ms. Stanton, please, you have to find her. I’m very worried about her safety.”Nico
Nicole calmed down and subconsciously stepped on the gas pedal, picking up speed.“Don’t worry, I’ll be right there. Just make sure she’s safe.”Julie said a few words and quickly hung up. She could not be distracted.Nicole hurriedly turned the corner and chose an alley to take a shortcut.In less than fifteen minutes, Nicole arrived downstairs at Yvette’s house.It was the apartment where she now lived with Sean.Nicole looked upstairs. She should not be back yet.Looking down at the time, Nicole was just about to send a message to Clayton when two cars drove in one after another.It was a quiet and upscale neighborhood, and almost all of them were detached buildings.Thus, others did not notice what was going on here.Yvette soon got out of the car in a fury and was about to run in.Nicole hurriedly got out and stopped her.“Yvette!”Yvette froze and looked back at her.“Why are you here?”Nicole was helpless. It seemed like Yvette did not see her at all.Julie caugh
Then, Sean divorced and came back to chase Yvette again, creating many opportunities until they got back together.Yvette knew that some of the things were deliberately planned by Sean.However, Yvette pretended not to know. She was willing to give Sean a chance, but she did not want to get married.His past marriage seemed to be an unspeakable taboo to her.Yvette did not get married, did not get involved with his family, and did not ask about his business and friends.It was as if they were together merely for the sake of love.Yvette originally thought that it was fine as long as they were happy.Now, Yvette realized that there were things that would not stop existing just because she did not ask about them.His presence was a permanent rift.......The three of them packed up. Almost all of Yvette’s household items were taken away, including her cosmetics and bags. There was really nothing left.Nicole looked at this. Was Yvette really going to break up with Sean?Downs
Julie went to find three cups, and the three ladies sat down on the carpet, each person holding a glass.Yvette’s tears could not stop flowing down her face.“Do you know who went this evening?”Julie shook her head. “I didn’t pay attention. Was it someone Sean knew?”Nicole recalled, “Who was the girl beside Sean?”Yvette’s tears flowed even harder.She sniffled and wiped her face.“She’s his wife’s younger sister. She grew up in their house. When I was toasting with Sean, she ran over and saw me. Do you know what she said?”Yvette sneered with sullen hatred in her eyes.“A vixen?”Yvette laughed. “It doesn’t matter if she calls me a vixen. Before I could say anything, Sean told me not to bother with a child. What the f*ck? A seventeen-year-old is considered a child? If it were in the past, someone her age could already have a few kids of their own. Is their family retarded?”Nicole felt uncomfortable.Yvette did not stop and continued to speak.“That’s fine, but do you k
Yvette grumbled and cursed for a long time, cursing Sean all the way to his ancestors without stopping.Nicole’s phone rang several times before she heard it.She picked it up while slightly tipsy.“Hello?”“Are you drinking?”Clayton instantly heard that something was wrong. There was something off with Nicole’s tone.She must be drinking.Nicole hummed.Clayton’s gentle voice was low and hoarse.“Where are you drinking? Are you with Ms. Quimbey?”Nicole said, “Yeah, we’re at home. At my place!”Clayton sighed in relief. His tone became gentler.“Don’t drink too much. Shall I bring some food back for you?”Just as Nicole was about to speak, Yvette snatched her phone away.“I’m about to break up and can’t stand to see other people being lovey-dovey. Don’t call other men!”Then, Yvette hung up the phone.Nicole drank, and her brain short-circuited. Her reaction was slow, and the screen turned black before she could react.Forget it.Since the call ended, she would just
Clayton sneered in his heart.Those good words about him were because he could show a side of himself that he wanted others to see.He did not say those words himself, so he would not admit it.Ann’s smile became completely strained.She looked at him with a cold gaze.“Fine, then I’ll get to the point. Mr. Sloan, why don’t we make a deal?”Clayton looked at her silently.......In Nicole’s home.Yvette drank cup after cup, cursing as she drank and venting out all her aggression and resentment.When she drank until she vomited, Nicole and Julie helped her to the bathroom to wash up, then took her to the bed to rest.The two of them also drank a lot, but at least they were still conscious.Julie looked at the time. It was almost 10:00 pm.“I have to go back.”Nicole held her forehead. “It’s already so late. Just stay the night before leaving.”Julie shook her head. “I can’t. I have a flight to Milan early tomorrow morning. I have a very important show.”Then, she walked
The series of movements were fluent, skillful, and crisp.Nicole had already arrived at Clayton’s door before she could react.She scratched her head and looked at him with misty eyes.“Clayton, you’re back?”Clayton looked at her with a deep gaze and hummed.Sure enough, Nicole drank too much.Nicole once again threw herself into his arms and muttered.Clayton frowned. He did not hear her since her voice was too soft.He lifted her face and narrowed his eyes.“What did you say?”Nicole smiled, brilliant as the sun, and wrapped her hands around his waist.“I said that your waist is really thin. It’s thinner than Ian’s and Fabian’s....”In an instant, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.Clayton’s eyes were deep as he looked at her.“Is that so?”Nicole nodded firmly.“Yup!”She grinned and praised him. “This size is great. I like slim waists!”Clayton’s face was dark and sunken. There seemed to be a huge storm brewing inside his eyes, a storm that was about to sweep
Turning on her phone, Nicole saw that it was almost 10:00 am.Nicole suddenly got up and remembered that she had an important video conference that morning.Just then, Clayton knocked on the door and came in. He leaned against the door with a bowl of soup and looked at her. His eyes were still warm and gentle like spring water.“You’re awake? I made some soup for you. Why don’t you give it a try?”He walked over and did not put it down directly. Instead, he crouched by her bedside with a hint of apology like he was trying to curry favor. He blew on the soup and scooped it up with a spoon before bringing it to Nicole’s mouth.Nicole grunted coldly. “Do you have to serve me so attentively?”Clayton smiled with a trace of heartache and apology in his eyes.He clearly did not drink too much last night. He only drank a few sips when socializing.However, after hearing Nicole’s words, his heart lost control like a demon.When Clayton got close to her, he could not help but want to b
