Clayton looked at it and smiled. “That’s because there’s a fixed amount of condensing agent that can keep the fog at a sufficient concentration level for a fixed period of time…”Clayton finished explaining and sighed as he hugged Nicole.“I’m proposing to you. I’m not trying to teach you how this science works. Can’t you focus on what’s important here?”Nicole could not help but let out a laugh. She turned around to hug him back.“Thank you. I love it. As long as the diamond ring is big enough, the ceremony isn’t important. After all, the thought is in the diamond ring!”Nicole reassured Clayton that the evening had been a success, especially that meteor shower, which was very stunning.Such an unprecedented proposal was enough to make her happy.Clayton hugged her and chuckled.“Had I known that’s your request, I would’ve gotten you a bigger one!”Nicole said, “This is good enough. If it’s any bigger, I won’t be able to wear it!”Clayton was speechless.The two of them kis
Nicole reached out her hand and looked at the big diamond ring on her finger.She calmly said, “Mm, I know. That’s not a projection or drones. It’s a chemical reaction produced by some special element and fog. As the fog evaporates, it creates the illusion of a meteor shower…”Nicole finished briefly and suddenly felt the silence from over the phone.After a long time, Nicole called out to her.“Yvette?”Yvette could not help but ask, “OMG! Was that proposal prepared for you? Did Clayton do that?”Nicole curled her lips.“Yup!”Yvette sighed in shock.“Holy sh*t! Here I am trying to find out who did it, but it turned out to be yours?! Why is he so fast? Is it because you’re pregnant, so he wants to push things on quickly? Mr. Sloan is really something, huh?”Nicole could not help but sigh and rubbed her head.“It’ll happen sooner or later anyway. I also didn’t expect it, but I’m quite satisfied.”“How can you NOT be satisfied?! What else do you want?”Yvette laughed. “You
Nicole was not involved with the wedding arrangements and was shocked when she saw it.Even though she had attended many elite weddings and had seen many customs of the gentry, she felt that this wedding that Clayton planned was a mix of freedom, wildness, opulence, and joy. It had completely exceeded her expectations.The public did not know about their wedding, nor was any of the media invited. Everyone who attended the wedding was advised to put away their phones to enjoy the ceremony.Thus, the outside world did not know that Nicole and Clayton had gotten married.The married Nicole felt no different from her unmarried self, so she happily accepted the status quo.One day, Nicole was working at the office.Yvette ran over with great enthusiasm and dragged her to a private auction.This auction was different from the past.Those who were invited to participate were members only, and the goods auctioned inside were treasures collected by the elites.This auction was held eve
Nicole shook her head. “No, it’s mine.”Yvette was stunned and jerked her head up to look at her.“Why didn’t you spend his money? Aren’t you guys already married? Isn’t his money also yours?”Nicole pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows.She never thought about that before.“Does it matter whose money I spend?”Yvette looked at Nicole speechlessly.“Of course, it matters! Do you know how much money he has? Do you know what he spends his money on? If he doesn’t let you spend his money, he’ll spend it on other women instead. You have to keep an eye on his money. Even if you don’t lack money, you can’t let go of it, understand?”Nicole was shocked by Yvette’s remarks.Yvette sighed and wrapped her arms around herself.“Anyway, I basically never spend my own money now. Lance has money, so I can spend it as I please. The more I spend, the more he earns. I can’t let him think that I’m low-maintenance. Otherwise, he’ll think that women outside are more valuable than me, right?”
Clayton had some mixed feelings. He did not expect that he was so vulnerable in the eyes of others, especially to Nicole and her best friend.He was going bankrupt?Clayton’s gaze was cold as he looked at Roland next to him.“Help me do something...”At night.Nicole took a shower and was enjoying her skincare routine. Although she could not use cosmetics that were too stimulating during pregnancy, she deliberately got someone to get some cosmetics for her skin type that were suitable for use during pregnancy.Thus, her skincare routine had not fallen behind at all.Clayton was busy in the study, so Nicole did not bother him.She was in a daze when she heard the sound of the doorbell outside, followed by the sound of the door closing.A minute later.Clayton arrived in front of her with a thick bag of documents.Nicole blinked her eyes in confusion.It was already so late. Why was he so serious?Clayton pursed his lips. “It’s a gift for you.”Nicole smiled and reached out
Nicole raised her brows. “You’re willing to do that?”“Why wouldn’t I be?”Clayton smiled. “I don’t mind not getting any money in the future, but you have to give me some allowance because I still have to buy you gifts!”For some reason, every time Nicole looked at Clayton’s smile, it felt like she ate a mouthful of cotton candy. The sweetness spread all the way to her heart.Clayton kept his word and handed all his bank cards to Nicole, leaving only one card with a low credit limit for himself.Nicole nodded calmly, then Clayton went up and kissed her on her lips.“Happy?”Nicole nodded again.Clayton said, “Then you’ll reward me, right?”He spoke in a low voice.While Nicole was still in a daze, he picked her up and walked to the bedroom. His voice turned husky.“Okay, my wife?”Nicole dodged his kiss with some panic. She placed her hands on his shoulders and refused.“No, did you forget that I’m pregnant?”Clayton tightly clasped her waist and peppered kisses on her fa
Clayton called the bodyguard, and the bodyguard booked the flight overnight and sent Lil Michael back.Lil Michael had just opened his eyes when the plane landed.Susan, the nanny, was excited for him.“Mr. Sloan agreed for you to come back!”Lil Michael was so excited that he was about to jump in joy. “I’m gonna see Pretty Lady! Oh no, I haven’t prepared a gift yet...”Susan said, “It’s more important to meet her first. Go on!”Lil Michael nodded excitedly. He already thought about what gifts to prepare for Nicole on the way back.The car went straight to Stanton Mansion.The Stanton family knew that Lil Michael was coming back and made sure to prepare a welcome party for him.Lil Michael had lived in Stanton Mansion for quite some time, so his popularity in the Stanton family was still a cut above that of Clayton’s.Therefore, the dishes that the butler prepared were all Lil Michael’s favorites.Clayton saw the Stanton family waiting excitedly for Lil Michael’s arrival and
Nicole asked Lil Michael from time to time with a smile what he was happy about. Michael thought about the interesting things he encountered and told them about it. The whole family laughed together.Clayton followed with a lukewarm smile and always felt like this boy was holding back something bad.After eating, Lil Michael went upstairs to play with Tigger. Tigger’s chip had a very favorable impression on Lil Michael, so they soon began to play together.Nicole noticed Clayton’s lukewarm attitude toward Lil Michael. Although Clayton was usually slightly harsh on Michael, he still loved Michael in his heart.Lil Michael was now in his rebellious stage, so their relationship might not be smooth sailing. However, Nicole still thought that Lil Michael had a great character.When Nicole was Michael’s age, she felt like she could tear down the house at the slightest bit of displeasure.Therefore, when everyone was chatting, Nicole left on the pretext of going to the study to find a b
