Chapter 1620 Openly Boasting
“I bought two properties over there. I’ve also ordered one for Nicole so that we’re on adjacent floors. It’s very convenient.”Clayton finished with a smile and took off the apron he was wearing.Grant and Kai looked at each other.Wow, how promising…Clayton took the opportunity to look at Nicole in passing.He was still shocked at why everyone from the Stanton family was here.However, after some thought, Nicole was only properly discharged from the hospital today.Clayton felt that he was a bit rude.“Should I leave?”Clayton spoke softly.He was also afraid of disturbing their family reunion. After all, Clayton was still not formally introduced to the Stanton family as Nicole’s boyfriend.Nicole spoke in a low voice. “No, they came here specifically to see you.”Clayton froze for a moment. His eyes widened.Suddenly, Clayton felt embarrassed.Nicole walked over and sat next to Floyd.“I think it’s fine here. If it’s too big, it’ll seem very empty, and I won’t be able
Chapter 1621 Blurt the Truth
Floyd nodded with satisfaction. “Okay, we’ll grab a drink together next time.”Kai strolled around and came over with two bottles of red wine. “Look! There’s a lot of good wine in Lil N’s place. Let’s get drunk!”Floyd coldly glanced at Kai. Grant also glared at him.Kai did not know what he had misspoken about and felt aggrieved.“You guys don’t wanna drink? Then I’ll drink it myself?”Nicole blurted out. “You should be more familiar with the wine in that cabinet than I am. Quite a few of them were stolen from Dad’s wine cabinet. Are you sure you wanna drink them?”Floyd took a deep breath. His face turned red with anger. “Just wait till we get home!”Kai pursed his lips and looked at Nicole in disappointment.“What truth are you blurting now?”Grant laughed lightly. “Do you think that we won’t know if she doesn’t say so? Last time when Dad wanted to drink on the spur of the moment, he searched the wine cellar for most of the night but couldn’t find the vintage Château d'Yque
Chapter 1622 Show of Love
Seeing Nicole walk in, the butler was shocked and said, “Wow, Young Lady, you shouldn’t come in to make trouble. Go go go! You’re still sick, so go out and wait!”Nicole walked next to Aida, who was helping Mr. Anderson with the preparation. Although she was not very skilled, she was also very serious about learning.Nicole smiled. “I’ve recovered long ago! Mr. Anderson, you can probably apply for a patent for your nutritious meals. I recovered too quickly!”Mr. Anderson laughed out loud.Aida glanced at Nicole and saw the situation in the living room.She leaned in close to Nicole and whispered, “You left Mr. Sloan alone over there. Aren’t you worried that Dad and Grant will give him a hard time?”Nicole froze. She shook her head with a smile and lifted her chin. “Of course not. He’s my man. If Dad and Grant wanted to make things difficult for him, they wouldn’t have come over for dinner.”Aida raised her eyebrows. “It looks like you’ve made up your mind with him?”Nicole smil
Chapter 1623 Overly Excited
Mr. Anderson was completely immersed in cooking, so he did not hear that shocking good news just now.Kai walked in with a smile. “Yo, Mr. Anderson! You made this steak sound like it’s the best thing ever!”“Less talking and start serving!”Mr. Anderson gave an order, so everyone got to work.The young masters and young ladies, who were used to being served, were unpretentious when they did chores.They were also brought up by Mr. Anderson since they were young. The butler took care of the four children, so sometimes when he could not manage them, they also helped with the chores.When Aida was about to help out, she was stopped by Grant and Nicole at the same time.“Don’t move. Just leave it!”Aida was helpless. “You guys shouldn’t make such a big fuss about it!”Grant said, “Still… No.”When Grant saw that frivolous Kai standing in the doorway, he said, “Come over here…”Kai was speechless and thought that he should not have come for dinner today.This good news made Nico
Chapter 1624 Just Take Care of Yourself
Mr. Anderson originally did not want to eat together. After all, this was Clayton’s first formal meeting with the family for dinner.However, since Floyd said so and with Nicole’s enthusiasm, everyone did not mind, so it would be bad if Mr. Anderson refused.Mr. Anderson simply responded and added a set of tableware for himself before he sat down.During the meal, everyone gradually relaxed, joked, laughed, ate, and drank.Even Clayton’s initial nervousness disappeared.The Stanton family had a very strange and interesting trait, which was that they did not keep secrets from each other. Any embarrassing things could be freely taken out and joked about.If they were angry or happy, they would show it frankly. There was no cautiousness, schemes, or infighting.This kind of atmosphere was hard not to like.Even the butler took a wine glass and drank two glasses with Floyd. As they drank, they began to reminisce about the past.Nicole also drank a lot. She clinked glasses with Gra
Chapter 1625 Angie’s Released
At this moment, the two people across the table saw Clayton looking at them.Clayton smiled, raised the wine glass in front of him, and said, “Congratulations.”Grant and Aida instantly understood. They smiled and nodded, while Grant gestured with his glass and downed the wine inside.The dining table was lively until almost midnight. Floyd was almost asleep before Kai reluctantly announced the end.Clayton saw that they were all drunk. Even Mr. Anderson started to snore, so it would be impossible for them to contact their driver.Thus, Clayton could only call his own driver over to send Floyd and Mr. Anderson back to the Stanton Mansion.On the other hand, Aida and Grant went upstairs to Clayton’s apartment to rest.Kai simply made do for the night on the living room sofa.Nicole was satisfied with this arrangement.Since Floyd and Mr. Anderson were old, their beds were customized according to their physique. If they made do for the night elsewhere, their bodies would ache th
Chapter 1626 Two Big Men
Yvette laughed. "Anyway, I’m just reminding you so that you can get more people to protect yourself. Don’t get abducted again because you gotta attend my wedding!”Nicole felt relieved and laughed.“Don’t worry, Ms. Quimbey! I promise not to miss it!”The two talked about a few other things before hanging up.It was only 8:15 am. Nicole did not feel sleepy anymore.Recently, there was no regularity to her biological clock. Nicole would sleep until she woke up naturally.Perhaps it was because she drank alcohol last night that her head hurt a little this morning.Nicole washed up and went out, thinking of making hangover tea.However, the living room was quiet and peaceful.Kai, who was supposed to be sleeping on the sofa, was also gone. All that could be seen were traces of someone having slept there.Nicole froze for a moment. Could it be that Kai had left early in the morning?She thought that Kai was pretty tactful.Nicole looked at the door of the guest room. It was ver
Chapter 1627 I’m the Only One Who Didn’t Know
Clayton finished freshening up. He went upstairs to change his clothes and came back down with a list in his hand, which he handed over to Kai. “Grant and Aida have already left. I didn’t have time to give it to them, so can you pass this on for me?”Kai wrinkled his eyebrows. He took it and looked at the long list of books.“What’s this? ‘A Guide for Babies and Toddlers’, ‘What to Do When Your Child Cries’, ‘How to Be a Qualified Parent’... What’s all this?”Clayton paused. “I’ve read these books before and found them quite useful, but some of them aren’t available here. I’ll get someone to bring them back from abroad. These are available here, so Grant and Aida don’t have to waste their time looking around…”In terms of raising children, Clayton was really experienced.Nicole nodded. “Grant and Aida will definitely need it!”Kai did not understand and looked up in a daze. He was puzzled.“Why would they need this?”Clayton said, “Isn’t Aida pregnant? She can start making prep
