If Clayton did not propose, how would they get married?If they did not get married, what would happen with the procedures after their child was born?For the first time, Clayton felt that although cumbersome, these formalities in Mediania were quite perfect!It was much better than in Liberty, where children could be registered without proper procedures.Clayton wanted to get Nicole’s approval before he had the courage to go in and face Floyd’s wrath.Nicole knew what Clayton was thinking about and laughed. “As long as my father agrees, I won’t have any problem with it.”She threw the problem back to Clayton.Clayton helplessly held his forehead. This little witty devil was deliberately making things difficult for him at such a critical moment.Nicole must have seen through Clayton’s dilemma at this time.While the two of them were hesitating at the door, Kai’s nonchalant voice rang out not far away from them. “What are you two doing at the door? Did you do something wrong?”
Clayton's nervousness at the beginning was justified.At least, a minute before Clayton opened his mouth, he was still relaxed. After Clayton finished speaking, he felt nervous, apprehensive, and tense.It was more frightening than when Clayton closed his first big deal.Clayton thought that his recent performance had been quite good since Floyd’s attitude toward him had been great.However, at this moment, Clayton felt that it was far from enough.It was too risky.Clayton was deeply worried about the little zygote in Nicole’s womb now.He wondered if Nicole would still be able to keep the baby.Floyd’s face was completely devoid of happiness. The darkness and scrutiny in his eyes were very intimidating.This kind of suffocating feeling was like a boulder hanging over Clayton’s head.Kai also did not get involved and watched silently, which was rare.Nicole saw Clayton’s nervous look, then looked at Floyd’s face and instantly felt a little helpless.She coughed and gave he
The blood instantly drained from Clayton’s face.Nicole also stood there in shock, not expecting that her confession would make things even more unmanageable.“Dad…”“Shut up!”Floyd shouted. His face was livid as he pointed at Kai on the side and ordered him.“What are you still standing there for? Get him out of my room!”Kai paused and did not dare to speak for Clayton. Instead, Kai went up and patted Clayton’s shoulder. “Let’s go out and wait.”Clayton had underestimated the Stanton family’s desire to protect Nicole and had overestimated his standing in Floyd’s heart.To Floyd, what Clayton did was the same as a scumbag.The good image that Clayton had built in the past collapsed in an instant.Clayton pursed his lips, glanced at Floyd, and wanted to say something, but he shut up and finally glanced at Nicole worriedly and regretfully.If this matter brought Nicole any harm, then he would feel guilty forever.Nicole smiled at Clayton reassuringly to show him that said s
Nicole could tell from Floyd’s words that Floyd was actually not dissatisfied with Clayton. He was just unable to accept this unexpected pregnancy.In the end, Floyd was just afraid that his daughter would be aggrieved.Nicole’s heart was warm. She held Floyd’s arm and smiled.“Dad, he doesn’t dare to. This is just an accident. When we came to the hospital, he even thought that I didn’t want the baby. On the way here, he looked so sad, but he didn’t say anything. He respects me fully. Since we’ll get married sooner or later anyway, why not agree to it?”Floyd raised his eyebrows. His eyes were full of doubt.“Really?”Nicole nodded.Floyd sighed. “But I still think that you’re too good for him and he got a huge deal!”Nicole said, “Dad, Clayton doesn’t have any relatives anymore. Everything is decided by our family. I listen to you so much, so you shouldn’t scare him so easily. He’s already so pitiful…”Floyd froze for a moment and suddenly understood what Nicole meant.The t
Clayton naturally heard it.His gaze sank slightly, and his handsome face was somewhat dull.“Of course not. I never thought so, really... It was just an accident.”Kai let out a cold laugh.“Our family isn’t conservative, and we approve of you two living together since you’re both young. But once you have a child, can you still maintain the status quo? An accident? Who are you trying to fool?”Anyway, Kai did not believe it. He was also a man, so he understood a man’s dark thoughts very well.Kai had also thought about using a child to tie down a woman, but he only thought about it and did not act on it.He felt that the arrival of a child should be the natural result of two people’s love for each other, not a compromise with some motive.Thus, his impression of Clayton instantly dropped.Clayton stood there looking very lonely. He could not even think properly.At that time, Nicole pushed the door open.Nicole saw that Clayton was standing in the doorway. The moment he saw
To be honest, Clayton felt so much pressure when facing Floyd. Even when Floyd did not speak, Clayton had a feeling that death was not worth mentioning.Once Floyd spoke, it was not so bad.Floyd’s every word was for Nicole’s sake. It was only natural that Floyd wanted the best for his daughter.Kai watched them leave happily. He then went to Director Sven to register and do a medical examination.It was really unbelievable that Floyd would love Nicole so much that he extended his love to Clayton.After leaving the hospital, Nicole told everyone the good news that she was pregnant.Although her identity was still the same, Nicole felt that having a little baby in her womb was really wonderful.Nicole touched her belly and looked at Clayton, who was driving.She said with a smile, “Let’s go get married…”Clayton slammed on the brakes. His face changed dramatically, and his eyes surged with emotions.Nicole was startled. Fortunately, she wore a seat belt.She patted her chest,
Clayton and Nicole arrived at the office.Nicole waved her hand at Clayton and went into the lobby happily.Clayton looked at her back for a long time and sighed when he saw the beautiful pair of high heels she was wearing.He did not want to seem too worked up, but he was still anxious.As soon as Nicole went into the office, Logan looked like he had seen a savior. As usual, he brewed her a cup of coffee and came in.“Ms. Stanton, Young Master Kai is nowhere to be found. He still has a few meetings to attend in the afternoon…”Nicole looked at the coffee and did not touch it.“I’ll attend the meeting. Kai’s in the hospital visiting my father.”Logan nodded. “Chairman Stanton hasn’t been discharged from the hospital?”Nicole smiled. “He’s discharged, but he has a checkup today that’s more tedious, so he’ll just stay there for the night.”Logan breathed a sigh of relief. “Some colleagues bought these pastries. I left you a piece of your favorite coffee hazelnut tart. Should I
Clayton lowered his eyes and looked serious as he put on Nicole’s shoes. He then kept her high heels in the bag and picked the bag up casually with a smile on his face.“Go on then, I’ll come and pick you up after work.”Nicole looked at Clayton’s handsome and gentle face and blushed even more.She clearly knew that her rumors could not be erased in the office.Under Clayton’s gaze, her heart beat faster for a moment. She did not know how to cope with this little episode.Nicole froze and nodded, then turned around stiffly and ran away with a flushed face.She went into the conference room.The people in the conference room had long since arrived. When Nicole entered, they all looked at her.Nicole paused, sat down at the head of the table, glanced at Logan, who followed her in, and nodded.Logan said, “Let’s begin.”Nicole finally calmed down and was immersed in the meeting.After the meeting, she went back to her office.She saw her phone that was exploding with messages.
