Nicole subconsciously glanced back, just in time to meet Grant’s gaze.In the next second, Grant looked away like he did not mean to look over.Grant hung up the phone and came over.His expression did not change. He just sat in his place and put down the phone.Floyd waved his hand. “Come on, another round!”It was rare that Floyd was so happy.Grant refused. “Dad, Aida said that she has something on at the last minute and doesn’t have time to pick Levi up. We’ll just let him eat at school.”Floyd was stunned. “How could you? School food isn’t nutritious! Haven’t you seen the recent news that says that all the ingredients they used were bad? Are you dumb, or are you his evil stepfather to let your son suffer like this?!”Grant calmly lowered his head and shuffled the cards.“Anyway, I’m not going.”Floyd threw down his cards and glared at Grant angrily.“Then I’ll go!”After saying that, Floyd yelled at the butler to prepare the car, saying that he wanted to go to Levi’s s
Clayton was concentrating on feeding Chatty. They recently started adding complementary foods to her diet, and she was quite picky, which was quite a headache for all of them.However, Clayton was very patient and coaxed Chatty slowly. Whenever Chatty took a small bite, Clayton would praise her to no end.It was pure flattery.Clayton frowned. “I don’t know. Let’s see what Dad thinks about it.”What Clayton meant was that it all depends on whether Floyd wanted to keep a relationship with the Lindstrom family.Clayton had already learned a lot about Medianian’s way of interaction during his time here.Floyd hesitated for a moment, then nodded.“Let them in.”Although they did not interact with the Lindstroms, they were all in the business circle, so it was hard to completely avoid them.If they turned the Lindstroms away at this time, it was no different from adding insult to injury.The butler went out to invite the Lindstroms in.They could not continue to eat at this time.
In Floyd’s perspective, Clayton had a bad habit of a businessman’s selfishness. However, Clayton did not grow up in Mediania and was educated in Liberty.However, as long as Floyd carefully trained Clayton, Clayton would definitely become an excellent and patriotic young entrepreneur in time.Nicole chuckled, pulled Clayton, and stood up.“Okay, let’s stop talking about this. If we continue, Dad will start giving a speech.”Floyd glared at Nicole. His eyes swept across the pile of gifts at the door.He hurriedly beckoned to the butler.“Return these back to the Lindstroms. We can’t accept these.”The butler responded and turned to leave.Nicole paused. “Wait a minute. Let’s wait for the news before returning them. If we return the gifts now, the Lindstroms will feel uneasy.”Floyd nodded solemnly.“Okay, let’s do as you say.”At the hotel.When Tyler got the news, he smashed everything in the room in a fit of anger.He was furious.“What do you mean by you failed to bomb
Nicole was not shocked or scared when she saw Tyler. She smiled calmly. Her expression was indifferent to conceal her emotions.“Why should I hide? What’s there to be scared of?”Tyler was interested in Nicole and sat across from her.“Aren’t you afraid of me? I caught your friends last time. Didn’t Clayton tell you about me?”He seemed to be asking Nicole if she was afraid of him, but he kept mentioning Clayton.Nicole smiled and pretended not to understand him.“This is a country with a rule of law. You and your subordinates acting tough is no threat to me. You can only attack in secret, so would you dare to touch me in such a public place?”Tyler was stunned for a moment, then he smiled deeply and meaningfully.“Ms. Stanton, you’re just as straightforward as the legend says. How did a b*stard like Clayton manage to marry you? Putting aside his clean and innocent-looking face that can deceive women, he’s actually very insidious!”Nicole snorted lightly and shook her head.I
After Tyler finished his sentence, he felt a little more unwilling to let go of Nicole. It was a pity that he could not get his hands on her.He initially just thought that Nicole was pretty.Later, he realized that she had such a bold and bright personality, and she was not afraid of anything.Now, Tyler felt that she was pure yet bad and a little shrewd. She was an irresistible little minx.How could Eric let go of such a woman?Tyler would have tied Nicole to his bed if he were Eric.He waved his hand, and the bodyguard immediately gave way to Nicole.Nicole stepped on her high heels and left in disdain.It looked like she did not want to have any dealings with a scumbag like him.Tyler’s subordinate stepped forward in confusion.“Boss, be careful. It might be a trap!”Tyler rolled his eyes at him, smiled, shook his head, and said with certainty, “No, Clayton won't let her dig a hole for me because he’s very protective of this woman. He might not even know that his woman
Seeing that Clayton wanted to continue asking, Nicole coughed and beckoned to him.“Come here, let me give you a kiss first.”Clayton paused and looked at her deeply, but the tips of his ears unconsciously turned red. some.He walked over obediently, and his eyes darkened. He did not say anything else.Nicole cupped Clayton’s face and gently kissed his lips. Just when she wanted to let go, Clayton suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her in so that she was glued to his body.This light peck became an endless kiss.After this kiss, the two of them were panting, and their faces were flushed. Fortunately, they stopped in time.After all, this was the Stanton Mansion, so they could not go overboard.Luckily, Floyd and Mr. Anderson did not come out to interrupt them. Otherwise, it would be very embarrassing.Nicole opened her eyes to look at Clayton. Her eyes were watery, glimmering, and charming.This was such a difficult test of self-control for Clayton.Just whe
The living room fell silent.Nicole could not bear it anymore and glanced at Mrs. Lindstrom.“Mrs. Lindstrom, if you paid attention to international affairs, you’d know that carrying guns in South Africa isn’t illegal. Your helicopter will fall into the ocean if it runs out of fuel halfway. If it doesn’t fall into the ocean, your people will be hunted down and killed. Go ahead and try it if you’re confident, but this is the best we can do for you.”Nicole shrugged her shoulders, and Mrs. Lindstrom’s face turned pale.“So, they have guns and we can’t call the police?”Clayton lowered his eyes and did not speak. He just turned the teacup in his hand gently.Floyd also sighed.“If you look for Interpol, wouldn’t my family be exposed for smuggling your son out? You’d better be clear about which channel you want. Don’t toy with us.”Floyd put down his cup heavily on the table.Mr. Lindstrom’s expression changed dramatically, and Mrs. Lindstrom did not dare to say a word.Mr. Linds
Nicole raised her eyes and looked at the sky.The dark blue sky gradually turned dark.There were countless twinkling stars in the clear sky.She smiled, looking beautiful and cold.“Okay, let’s begin.”Nicole hung up the phone. She was in a good mood, so she squatted down and kissed Chatty.“Baby girl, wait for Mommy at home, okay? When Mommy comes back, Mommy will bring you out to play!”Chatty did not understand what Nicole was saying, but that did not prevent her from creating trouble.The baby stepped on Nicole’s feet and staggered away to find another target.Nicole was speechless.She sighed and went straight to the door with her coat.Suddenly, Clayton stopped Nicole. His voice was deep as he asked, “Where are you going?”Nicole paused for a moment and immediately put on a relaxed expression.“I’m going out for a while. I’ll be right back.”Clayton looked at her with deep eyes.“It’s so late. I’ll accompany you.”Nicole did not say anything.“You don’t want me
