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.
Nicole went downstairs.Clayton’s car was extraordinarily conspicuous.He stood there looking tall, handsome, and gentle. He looked like he was within reach yet also unattainable.Nicole smiled and walked over. Clayton went over and hugged her, then opened the door for her.The driver nodded and got into the car.Nicole was wondering why Clayton suddenly got the driver to come over.Clayton whispered in her ear, “This way, I can hold hands with you in the back.”Hearing that, Nicole felt her heart racing for a moment again.She rolled her eyes at him. “It’s only a few minutes…”Clayton smiled and did not say anything.He never went back from the time he sent her to the office.Clayton handled everything and instructed Roland from the car. He finally waited for Nicole to get off work and was anxious to see her.The car was extraordinarily slow.Nicole put down her phone and looked at the vehicles outside. There was not much traffic, so why were they going so slow?She coul
Clayton said, “Habits can be changed, not to mention professional habits.”These words were spoken carelessly, but his attitude was firm.Nicole raised her eyebrows. Unexpectedly, her mood improved.After dinner, Nicole did not see any surprises.Although her heart was relieved, at the same time, she also felt a little disappointed.Clayton took her hand and left.The driver left, so Clayton became the driver.The weather in October was not too cold nor too hot. It was just right.It was just a little chilly at night.When they returned home, Nicole did not see any surprises at home either.It seemed that she was thinking too much tonight.Nicole threw down her bag and took off her coat.“I’m going to the study first…”Clayton looked at her and suddenly called out to her.“Babe…”His voice was a little low and tense.Nicole looked back.Clayton did not say anything.Nicole leaned against a side cabinet and looked at Clayton with smiling eyes. “You’ve been distracted a
Seeing Nicole’s surprised face, Clayton smiled with his eyes.“I know that this might be a little rushed, but I’ve been thinking about this moment for a long, long time. From the time we first started dating, I’ve already been thinking about what kind of method I should use to propose to you that would seem less cheesy…”Nicole’s body stiffened slightly. She looked at him, pretending to be calm.“So, you figured it out?”Clayton shook his head.“No, but I can’t wait any longer. I’ll think about it slowly after I’m done proposing, okay?”His attitude was sincere, and he did not look like he was lying.Nicole could not help but take a look outside.Those light blue letters were still in front of her eyes. They looked like stars falling in the quiet night and were indescribably beautiful.Nicole never dreamed that she would one day be touched by something so tacky and simple.Clayton saw that she did not speak and felt like his heart was about to leap out of his throat.“In fac
