Ingrid and Quinn sneaked out from Falcon’s villa.There were not many houses on that road.In the dark, the two women were running as fast as they could along the road.They did not know how long they had been running.Suddenly, a car with blinding headlights appeared in front of them.When they saw the people inside, Quinn’s and Ingrid’s expressions changed dramatically. A sense of despair came over them.The person inside the car said with a cold voice, “Take them back.”......Mediania.Clayton and Nicole got off the plane and saw Grant, who had been waiting there for a long time.Nicole secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she did not see anyone else with Grant, which meant that Grant did not tell anyone about her situation.Grant glanced at Nicole and did not scold her. Instead, he looked at Clayton and asked, “Is it resolved?”Clayton nodded calmly.“Someone deliberately set us up for the accident in SF Corporation, but it’s easy to solve. It’ll just take some tim
Nicole pushed open the car door by herself and saw Clayton standing there, looking tall and handsome.The gentle smile on his face as he looked at her concealed the coldness from before.It seemed that Clayton’s conversation with Grant did not affect his mood.‘Grant didn’t scold him at all?’ Nicole thought.She got out of the car, ran over, and hugged Clayton tightly.Clayton’s chest moved as he let out a low chuckle. He patted her on the shoulder and said, “Babe, if you hug me any longer, Big Brother will regret not beating me up earlier in the car...”Nicole froze slightly and reluctantly let go of Clayton.She was too tired and sleepy on the plane, so she did not get to hug him earlier.Moreover, her conversation with Aida just now suddenly made her feel a strong sense of dependence on Clayton.Nicole stood up straight. When she loosened her grip, Clayton lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently and fondly. She felt like she was electrocuted.No one seemed to notic
After a while, Nicole finally got her wish and managed to hug Chatty’s soft body.Her heart instantly melted.Chatty generously gave her a slobbery kiss, which made Nicole feel like laughing and crying.After all, she should not feel disgusted with her own daughter.During the meal, Tigger played with Chatty.They were not at all worried because Tigger would always stand behind Chatty and act as a pillow when Chatty was about to fall.Tigger, the stupid tiger, thought that Chatty was teasing him, so he ran around endlessly with a small toy in his mouth, trying to make Chatty crawl and chase after him.After the meal, Floyd summoned Clayton to the study for a chat.Grant did not join them. Instead, he took Aida with him to pick up Levi from school.Kai leaned over to Nicole and said, “Did you really go to Yvette’s place yesterday? Why didn’t I see you on Yvette’s social media then?”If Nicole was there, Yvette would not have let her out.Nicole’s heart clenched, and she glare
Nicole and Clayton had been restraining their love for each other all day.When they finally had time alone, they did not push each other away.They embraced each other tightly and expressed their love for each other through their kiss.Clayton seemed to have become a new person. He tried to restrain his strength, but he could not express his emotions properly if he was gentle.When Clayton took Nicole back from Falcon, he never asked her if she was afraid of him at that moment.He was afraid of her answer.So, he changed his question to, “do you miss me?”The surroundings were so quiet that they could hear the clock ticking.Nicole was tired from standing, and her legs felt weak. She could only stand up because Clayton was supporting her waist.Clayton was reluctant to let go of her, so he carried her bridal style back to their bedroom.They finally kissed without hesitation.Clayton seemed to be more aggressive than usual and showed her no mercy.Nicole pushed him weakly
Nicole also noticed this disparity.“Can’t she eat solid food yet? Otherwise, you should’ve fed her milk a little earlier…”Clayton smiled and touched Chatty’s little head.“I thought that you’d feel better watching her eat with us in the morning, so I asked her to wait for you.”Chatty was speechless.Nicole lowered her head and ate with Clayton silently, pretending not to see Chatty’s pitiful eyes.Perhaps it was because Chatty was too cute and pitiful that Nicole did not continue to torture her.After taking a few bites, Nicole put down her cutlery and carried Chatty’s chubby little body to the living room.Chatty was still reluctant to let go of her milk bottle. She held the baby bottle in one hand and Nicole’s face in the other, then kissed Nicole’s face from time to time.She held Nicole’s pinky and felt very happy because Mommy and Daddy were by her side.Nicole did not plan to go out today, but the weather was nice, so she invited Julie and Aida to come over for lunch
Mitchell was also helpless regarding Quinn and Ingrid.“The information we got earlier is consistent with what Mr. Sloan told us. Madam Ferguson and Ms. Ferguson are in Falcon’s hands. But the day before Falcon returned to South Africa, the two of them suddenly disappeared. They searched everywhere, but there was no news of Mrs. Ferguson and Miss Ferguson. I presume that they escaped on their own…?”This would be the best scenario, escaping by themselves without falling into anyone’s hands.Eric’s face was cold, and his eyes were dark.“If they ran away, why didn’t they contact us? How far can they run anyway?”Even if Ingrid was stupid, Quinn should understand that only Eric could protect them.However, to this day, no one contacted him.Their people could not find Quinn’s and Ingrid’s whereabouts either.This was a little strange.Mitchell was silent.“Did Tyler find out? Perhaps he got to them first?”Eric’s face was stern for a moment. He was trying to suppress the surgi
When Grant heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He almost forgot that Yvette was now Lance’s wife.Grant nodded and had already picked up his coat.“Okay, it’s settled then. I’ll go by myself.”The assistant nodded.“By the way, if Eric sends a contract over, send it to me as soon as possible.”“Yes, sir.”The assistant paused and thought to himself, ‘Is Mr. Stanton planning to cooperate with Mr. Ferguson?’When Grant arrived at Nicole’s house, he could already smell the aroma of barbecue before he went inside.As soon as he entered the door, he heard children’s laughter inside.Chatty was laughing loudly. A simple little toy was enough to make her laugh like she was getting paid for it.She was unlike Levi, who was not interested in any of those toys. Levi was just stacking Lego seriously.When Levi heard Grant’s voice, he was a little excited. He put down the things in his hand, ran over with his short legs, stretched out his hands, and begged for a hug.“Daddy…”Gra
Grant hung up the phone.Another car drove up from a distance. It was the designated car of that barbecue restaurant.Grant narrowed his eyes. Two young waiters got out of the car and walked over with a smile.“The charcoal that Ms. Stanton ordered…”Grant’s eyes flickered, and he nodded.The waiter asked him with a warm smile, “Do you need our help to carry it up for you?”Grant shook his head. “No need, just leave it here. By the way, are you the only ones who came to deliver things?”The waiter nodded. “Yes. Ms. Stanton is our VIP customer, so our manager specially ordered us to deliver it as soon as possible. It’s been exactly fifteen minutes since she placed the order.”Grant pursed his lips in silence.Fifteen minutes was indeed the fastest time from that restaurant’s location to Nicole’s place.This meant that someone got the news faster than the restaurant.Grant pondered and said, “Thank you.”The waiter smiled and left.After Grant pondered for a while, he made a
