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
Tigger’s cute voice deliberately emphasized Nicole’s name, which made Nicole look up involuntarily. Just as she expected of her Tigger.Clayton also admired Tigger’s talent for kissing *ss.Lil Michael was not afraid and continued to cause trouble.“Who’s worthy of Princess Nicole?”For a moment, something suddenly flashed through Nicole’s mind.Nicole seemed to have asked Tigger this question before. Back then, Tigger’s settings had been secretly adjusted by Molly, and its choice was Eric.However, now...Nicole immediately looked back, afraid to miss Clayton’s expression after hearing that name.She was a little apprehensive.Tigger did not hesitate to say, “The handsome Clayton!”In an instant, Nicole’s eyes lit up. Clayton smiled and looked down at her just in time to see her bright eyes. He exclaimed.“Tigger is awesome. He’s truly a Stanton!”Nicole also nodded.Tigger was indeed great.This answer was quite up to date.Michael froze for a moment. This AI tiger cou
The words Clayton wanted to stay got stuck in his throat.Yes, Clayton had no immunity when a child acted pampered, especially Lil Michael, who was born with such a soft, cute, and pretty little face.Back then, Clayton felt that if Michael were a girl, Clayton would definitely be reluctant to send her to school.However, now...Clayton immediately noticed that this was the little brat’s method.He smacked Michael’s butt and grunted.“Do you really miss me?”Lil Michael whined and hugged his father’s neck. “I missed you so much. I missed you the most!”Clayton also missed his son, if he did not cause trouble, that is.Lil Michael threw caution to the wind and sweet-talked Clayton so much that it felt cheesy. He coaxed Clayton until Clayton’s face softened, and only stopped when Clayton looked at him with affection.Clayton knew Michael’s little tricks but did not expose them. Instead, he enjoyed them very much.When Michael got off of Clayton, Clayton spoke faintly.“It’s n
Nicole frowned, but after thinking about Clayton’s words, she relaxed again.That was true.“Alright then. I’ll spare some time to play with him tomorrow. He studies too hard lately...”Clayton was speechless.......The next day.Clayton thought that Nicole was just joking and did not expect Nicole to really mean it.He went out early in the morning because of work, so Nicole asked the driver to pick Lil Michael up.Lil Michael carried a striped backpack and looked cute and fair. It made Nicole feel like reaching out to pinch his little face.“Pretty Lady, is it only us today?”Nicole raised her brows and got into the car. “Of course. Shall I take you to the amusement park?”Lil Michael nodded excitedly.“Yeah!”The driver smiled. “Then let’s go...”Nicole watched Lil Michael chatter away and remembered that he had always been like this, clever and innocent.The weather today was still considered good.Lil Michael started running about the moment he set foot into the a
Livia forced a smile.“You remember me.”Nicole smiled. “I’m not senile, but then again, you’ve changed quite a bit.”Livia lowered her eyes for a moment and smiled awkwardly.Nicole looked at Livia’s belly and paused. Since Livia was pregnant, Nicole thought that she should be nicer.“Come and sit down. Are you due soon?”Livia accepted Nicole’s sincerity. She looked around and saw that this was the only rest area, so it would not be nice if she went somewhere else to rest.She nodded and sat down, touching her belly. A gentle light flashed in her eyes when she looked down.“Yes, there’s still ten days until I’m due.”Nicole’s eyes widened in surprise.“Why are you still running around outside? Keith actually let you come out alone?”Livia smiled. “My niece recently came back from abroad, so I brought her out to play for a while. It’s too boring at home, and we’re not too far from home, so it’s fine.”Nicole nodded. “Still, you should be careful.”If it were Nicole, she w
Livia’s face relaxed in an instant at Nicole’s willingness to talk to her.This meant that Nicole did not hate Livia for her gaffe earlier.However, Livia did not know if Nicole brought up Keith on purpose. She bit her lower lips and spoke slowly.“Yes, he’s much better than before. He treats me so well that I’m beginning to feel overwhelmed.”At those words, Livia was silent for a moment before continuing.“Speaking of which, I haven’t formally apologized to you for letting you down. I already had the law firm and fame, but I still went back to my old ways. Nothing except Keith’s attitude seemed to have changed.”When Livia mentioned Keith, she did not look very happy.It seemed Livia was not that grateful for Keith’s current attentiveness.Nicole looked at Livia for a few seconds before she lowered her gaze and looked in another direction.The pirate ship in the distance swayed high up. The crowd screamed and cheered, immersed in the excitement of the moment.Nicole’s tone
Nicole could not help but ask her own questions and looked at Livia strangely.“You were getting along so well with Nathaniel back then, but you suddenly broke up with him. Even if there was a misunderstanding, you should’ve given Nathaniel a chance to solve it, but the speed in which you turned back to Keith really exceeded my expectations...”Nicole spoke carefully. Livia did not react much and only had a dark and gloomy face.It was as if that memory was a Pandora’s box that she hid deeply.However, for others, it was so insignificant.There was a long silence.Nicole thought that Livia would not answer. Maybe Nicole had been too impudent.After all, this was Livia’s past. It would not be good to pry.Just as she looked away to find Lil Michael, Livia suddenly opened her mouth.“Nathaniel and I really weren’t suitable for each other. Dating and marriage are two different things. His family is too far beyond my reach. The Ferguson family looks at me like I’m a scourge. You s
