Lil Michael opened his mouth. His eyes were red, and he was just about to speak when Clayton glanced at him with an intimidating look.It was extremely oppressive.“Remember, from now on, she’s not Pretty Lady, but Pretty Auntie. Of course, if you want to address her as something else, you’ll have to wait until after Nicole and I get married!”Clayton’s tone was relaxed, as if he was depicting a bright future for himself and Nicole after they got married.Address Nicole as something else?Mom?This was really a big blow to Michael.Lil Michael bit his lower lip pitifully.“Did Pretty Lady agree?”Clayton laughed lightly. “Of course! Otherwise, why would she want to be with me all the time?”It was a bit shameless, but it was true.Lil Michael pouted sadly. ‘Oh no… Pretty Lady isn’t mine anymore…’Clayton hooked his lips. “Boys shouldn’t shed tears in front of people. If you want to cry, go out and cry later…”‘Lest Nicole sees it…’ Clayton thought.Of course, Clayton woul
While Clayton was eating, Nicole sat on the side to read some documents.Although Nicole was in the hospital, she has been gradually taking up more company affairs. Grant saw that Nicole had also recovered, so he spontaneously handed over some things to her without any lead time.Nicole was unlike Clayton, who would rather be idle and read a book than worry about the company’s affairs, even if he could eat and move.After an afternoon nap, Nicole took Clayton for a walk in the back garden. Clayton did some simple exercises that were good for recovery. He could be discharged from the hospital in a matter of days.The small garden at the back of the private hospital was very neat, modern, artistic, and chic. It was very pleasing to the eye.Clayton walked slowly and without assistance.Nicole sat on a swing and looked up at him from time to time. The two smiled at each other as if even the air was sweet.None of them noticed that a tall man was standing outside the fence not far f
Mitchell, who had been following Eric from not far behind, saw the situation and immediately came up.When Mitchell went over to hold Eric, he saw that Eric’s eyes were already closed. Eric fainted.Mitchell hurriedly brought Eric to the car and rushed him to another hospital.That was because Mitchell thought that it would be awkward for Eric and Nicole to meet in the same hospital.Mitchell wondered if perhaps Eric would be more open-minded after this.As Eric’s assistant, Mitchell wanted to persuade Eric to give up, but he really did not know how to say it.In the hospital.Eric was sent to the emergency room.Mitchell thought about it and called Keith Ludwig.It took less than twenty minutes for Keith to come.By this time, Eric had been sent to the ward to rest. He fainted all of a sudden because his body was a little weak.Eric was only so weak because he previously thought that Nicole was dead, so he had been so depressed that he did not eat or take care of his body.
The doctor came out of the ward looking cautious and closed the door.Keith sat aside and looked at the gloomy-faced Eric, who had such ashen and defeated eyes. Eric looked like a different person compared to the spirited man he was back then.“Ferg…”Keith suddenly did not know how to speak.Eric raised his dark eyes drearily to look at Keith. His voice was deep and hoarse with unspeakable sadness. “I just had a dream that I called her to give blood to Wendy. She obediently agreed and went. I told her not to go in the dream, that Wendy was just pretending and that she doesn’t need to donate blood. But she couldn’t hear me no matter what I said. She didn’t turn back…”Keith choked for a moment. He felt like a ball of cotton was stuffed into his chest.He saw Eric’s lax and listless eyes that looked like they were looking through Keith and lamenting the past.Eric finished speaking. His eyelashes quivered as he asked Keith, “I want to be good to her, but why am I always doing thi
Eric and Keith were clearly both in the same situation, but why could Keith regain his ex-wife’s heart?Why did Eric get further and further away from Nicole?For a moment, Eric saw hope through Keith’s experience, thinking that he and Nicole would eventually be like Keith and Livia. After all, Livia still chose Keith after she dated Nathaniel.However, Nicole’s relationship with Clayton only got better and better.Eric completely lost sight of his hope.He seemed to have plunged into a quagmire of desperation. The more he struggled, the harder it was to get out.Keith froze for a second and reflected for a long time before answering his question.“Of course, she hates me.”Keith had a bitter smile, with a bit of helplessness and willingness.“To be honest, I took advantage of the situation back then when Livia was giving Nathaniel the cold shoulder. That’s how I found the opportunity. Otherwise, how could I have gotten so lucky?”Keith sighed. His eyes turned red, and he d
Since everything was already predetermined, what he did was also futile. Why did Eric need to put on a pathetic look to deceive himself?Eric closed his eyes. At least Nicole is still alive. He should feel incomparably happy for that.Mitchell heard Eric’s command and froze for a moment.When Mitchell saw Eric closing his eyes, he knew that Eric did not want to repeat it and that he had not misheard it. He answered Eric and went out to prepare some food for Eric.Eric finished eating his meal with difficulty. Mitchell thought that it was Keith’s advice that had gotten through to Eric and that Eric was ready to go back to the company to be a great leader again.Then, Eric went to take a shower, changed his clothes, and came out looking neat and meticulous.Mitchell saw Eric like this and felt apprehensive.“President…”Eric looked at Mitchell without a ripple of emotion in his eyes that looked like the calm deep sea, quiet but dangerous.“I’m going to find her... One last time.
The moment Logan said that, the entire room fell into a strange silence.Kai was the first to react. The phone in his hand instantly fell on the table and made a loud noise.“He’s really shameless! I’ve never seen anyone who’s more thick-skinned than him! He almost got Nicole killed and still has the cheek to come over? Who gave him such confidence? It’s good enough that we didn’t go after him. Now he even dares to come to our door?!”Kai’s face was livid. He immediately stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and walked out.“Who does he want to see? He should come and see me first!”Nicole and Julie hurriedly went over to stop Kai when they saw that the situation was getting out of hand.“K, don’t be impulsive! Eric’s probably not here to cause trouble. He’s here to apologize to Lil N.”Julie went over to hug Kai’s waist and spoke anxiously.Kai pushed her away. He sneered and looked furious. “If he dares to come, I’ll beat him up! Who cares about his apology? If he comes to apologi
Although not much was exposed, Yvette’s figure was beautiful and curved in all the right places. All her advantages were accentuated and magnified.It was even more alluring than the dress with the bare back because it made people more curious about what was underneath. Their eyes could not help but follow Yvette.However, Yvette could not fully appreciate their thoughts.She just lamented that her good figure could not be admired and envied by others.“But what was all that noise just now?”Yvette did not forget the noise outside while she was changing into her dress earlier.Nicole smiled. “Eric came, so we scolded him.”Yvette froze and took a few steps forward in anger.“Why didn’t you call me?! I’ll scold him with you guys. With more people, we can drown him with our spittle!”Julie could not help but laugh. “You just need to focus on being a bride. Why are you still so impulsive?”Nicole nodded. “That’s right. You’re getting married in a few days, so don’t get involved
