When the two people’s eyes met, the way Clayton’s eyes contained a smile made Nicole’s heart suddenly burn up.Nicole quickly withdrew her hand and averted her gaze. The way she dodged made Clayton’s smile deepen.Not long after, the maid came in with the baby in her arms and spoke with a smile.“Miss, the Chairman said that you should spend more time with the baby when she’s not making a fuss so you’ll develop a stronger bond.”The maid handed over the baby to Clayton.A trace of nervousness flashed across Clayton’s face. Although he carefully carried his daughter, he was obviously not as relaxed as just now.He looked down at the baby with big eyes and could not help but smile. He looked at Nicole, lowered the baby, and brought her in front of Nicole.“Look, she looks so much like you.”Nicole looked at the baby and felt a strange feeling. She blinked her eyes and thought ‘I’m a mother?’She reached out and pinched the baby’s face. It was soft and tender with distinct and pr
Julie and Yvette were stunned when they heard Nicole’s question.Although Nicole could feel this warmth in the way Clayton treated her, she was not certain. What was their relationship like in the eyes of others?Yvette and Julie looked at each other and smiled.“You shouldn’t doubt this. If he doesn’t love you, do you think that the Great Miss Stanton will be able to marry him?”Julie nodded. “Yeah. Clayton is really nice to you. It’s fine if you forget it, you can just fall in love with him all over again.”After Nicole heard their words, her slightly uneasy thoughts instantly disappeared.“Is he the only person I’ve dated?”Julie and Yvette’s smiles faintly stiffened.Just when they were thinking of how to answer this question, the man who was resting in the room pushed the door open.Clayton slept for a while, so he looked drowsy and slightly lazy. He loosened his collar as he walked out.He politely looked at the three women in the living room, smiled, walked over, and s
Nicole had always appreciated beautiful things, including people.However, when that man looked at her, the shock and strong complex emotions that surfaced in his eyes shocked her.Nicole was subconsciously repulsed by it. She then turned around and went in the opposite direction.Somehow, Nicole suddenly felt that the good-looking man was very offensive, and she felt uncomfortable from the bottom of her heart.Before Nicole could take a few steps away, someone suddenly pulled her wrist from behind.Nicole was stunned and looked back. It was that man.“Nicole, it’s really you! I…”Nicole quickly broke away from his grip. Her attitude was cold.“Who are you?”She did not know who he was. Even if she did before, she had already lost her memory. His behavior was really annoying.The man’s face turned pale. His body instantly became tense, and his eyes when he looked at her were longing and remorseful.It was as if the strong emotions he suppressed instantly overflowed the momen
After Mitchell finished his sentence, the car fell into a stagnant and cold silence.Eric’s face was pale and glum. The emotions in his eyes were dark and complicated.His lips were pale. After a long time, Eric said in a hoarse voice, “She forgot about me?”Eric suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if a blunt knife was sawing his flesh.For a moment, the blood in his body seemed to freeze. His body became stiff and numb, and the pain in his heart was overwhelming.He recalled the way they met at the mall just now. Nicole’s cold gaze and attitude made it seemed like she had never crossed paths with Eric before. She had just been enjoying her life.But what about Eric?The only thing that he had left was endless remorse and resentment. Was this his punishment?The memories of her love for him were the only thing that made him carry on with life. Even though everything came to nothing, at least he had once inadvertently gotten all her love.Now, there was nothing left.I
Grant spoke in a low voice that only Clayton could hear.Clayton raised his eyebrows and did not make a sound.Although Clayton recognized Kai’s ability, Kai did still have some disparity in strength compared to Grant.Thus, Grant was the most qualified person to say this about Kai.Besides, Grant was just making a casual remark.Kai always liked to take Nicole out for fun, and Nicole would tag along happily. Thus, Clayton did not have any opinion about it.The two exchanged their views on the project, then exchanged some pleasantries with people who came to them.This banquet was important because, in this urban planning, there was a secret project that involved the military sector.Needless to say, the amount of profit in this project was not important. The important thing was being inextricably linked to the political world.When the time comes, the nature and status of that enterprise would have a significant weight.This was why Grant attended this event in person. He wa
Before Grant finished his sentence, Clayton already knew what he was going to say next.So, Ferguson Corporation would be a tough opponent to beat in this competition.That was why it was not surprising for Eric to personally show up here.When Clayton saw Eric in the middle of the crowd, his eyes turned slightly colder.Clayton thought, ‘He’s back again? Does he think that everything is in the past? Does he think that he can just find an excuse for himself and show up here again frankly?’No one would forget those things.Grant saw Clayton’s cold gaze and guessed that this probably had something to do with Nicole.“Lil N still hasn’t recovered her memory yet, so don’t let people talk nonsense in front of her.”Clayton smiled. “Of course. With her personality, she won’t even believe it even if others told her.”Nicole only believed what she wanted to believe.After this period of interaction, Nicole was not the slightest bit repulsed by Clayton any more.Even when Clayton tr
Even without Eric, there were ways for Grant to get to know Mr. Jensen.The two companies competed for this project, and it was still not known who would be the winner.They separated business and personal affairs clearly.Eric was very determined to win this project. When he entered the door, some of the people who were thinking about the project had already surrendered.However, Grant would not.Stanton Corporation would not lose to Ferguson Corporation in terms of strength and reputation.Grant stood up, glanced at Clayton, nodded, and then followed Eric to leave.He only said this to ease the tension between Clayton and Eric.Eric had deep roots in Atlanta, and the forces supporting him were complex.If they really fought, Grant was worried that Clayton would be at a disadvantage.After all, Grant needed to protect his own brother-in-law.Clayton looked at Eric’s departing back, and his face sank slightly.At this moment, his phone lit up. Nicole replied to his earlier
Clayton bowed his head and smiled. He did not hide anything and said bluntly, “Not every project that I invest in will be successful. It’s just luck. That project won’t make a big profit. My wife just told your wife about it after she heard me talking about this project back then. In fact, I’ve already mentioned the risks. We have to be cautious in investment and we shouldn’t blindly follow hearsay.”When Samuel Lindstrom saw Clayton like this, the irritation he felt in his heart disappeared.Lumi Makinen, that brainless woman, had always regarded Clayton as a legend in the investment world, so much so that she almost hung up Clayton’s portrait at home.If Samuel did not stop Lumi, that woman would have wanted to change her phone’s lock screen to a picture of Clayton.This showed how obsessed Lumi was.However, Lumi was not obsessed with Clayton as a man but as the legend that was undefeated in the investment world.Due to this, the woman who had repeatedly failed in investment s
