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
Nicole laughed and motioned for Clayton to open the door.Clayton stood helplessly. “Why did she come to my place when she’s hungry?”Nicole said, “Because she probably knows that I’m here...”Clayton was helpless.He could only open the door.Nicole went to wash up.“Ms. Quimbey...”“Mr. Sloan, I knew you guys were at home. Is Nicole up?”As Yvette spoke, she pushed open the door and came in, not polite at all.Clayton closed his eyes. He had to endure it. After all, she was Nicole’s best friend!The people that could not be offended the most were a girlfriend’s best friend. He understood that rule.“She just got up and went to wash up. Why did you come up here?”Yvette looked at him. “I’m hungry. Takeout doesn’t deliver here, so I can only come here to eat.”She sniffed around. “I smell something nice.”Clayton pursed his lips and smiled. “Wait a moment.”He went to the kitchen to bring out some toast as well as some side dishes.Yvette looked at him with a vague smil
Before Nicole could speak, the man to the side coughed heavily and expressed his displeasure.Clayton had a polite smile on his face, but there was no happiness in his expression.“Nicole already has plans with me for tonight. You should go by yourself, Ms. Quimbey...”Ridiculous.Clayton thought, ‘How dare she ask my girlfriend out to look at young idols in front of me? I shouldn’t have given her that toast! I’d rather feed it to the dogs!’Yvette looked at her regretfully, and Nicole nodded.“Fine. Next time, then. I’ll go try it out first. I’ll call you if it’s good!”Nicole’s lips twitched. Clayton could no longer tolerate it.“Ms. Quimbey, aren’t you leaving yet? Nicole still has an important meeting. She’s going to be late..."He pointed at his million-dollar watch and urged her.Yvette pursed her lips. “Mr. Sloan, you should just apply to be Nicole’s assistant. Logan’s job belongs to you!”Clayton smiled, neither servile nor overbearing.“I’m always on standby whenev
