The floor carpet was very thick, and all sharp edges were covered with a soft protective layer, so there was no need to worry that Chatty would fall and hurt herself.Chatty was also very tenacious.She followed Daddy and Mommy without crying or making a fuss, and climbed down the stairs steadily, step by step.Floyd glared at the couple before him, then ran over to carry Chatty.“Our little Chatty is so amazing! She can climb stairs at such a young age. What a genius!”Clayton paused and thought that it sounded familiar.Julie ran inside and hugged Nicole happily.“You’re finally back! You went on vacation so suddenly that I wasn’t even aware!”It was indeed sudden.Nicole smiled, but she could not explain certain things.“Well, I wanted to give you and Third Brother some personal space.”Kai sat on the sofa in the living room and looked up nonchalantly.“I think you wanted some personal space and used us as an excuse! I feel exploited!”Julie clicked her tongue, and Kai
Clayton, who was walking down the stairs, heard this and said, “Big Brother, Chatty can’t even walk steadily now. She’ll be sent home as soon as we bring her there. Let’s just wait for two more years.”Grant raised his eyebrows. “Alright, Dad will follow Levi over for a few days so that Levi can get used to the place before Dad leaves.”Clayton nodded. “Dad is our family’s backbone.”He sighed and thought, ‘Poor Chatty!’Nicole walked over quickly.“What did Dad say to you just now in the study?”Clayton looked at her with a smile. His eyes were gentle and reflected the light.“Take a guess!”Nicole could not guess what he was thinking because Clayton looked so nonchalant.She pursed her lips and pinched his waist gently.Clayton pursed his lips, lowered his head, and whispered in her ear, “Are you trying to murder your husband?”His voice pierced through Nicole’s heart like an electric current.She stretched out her arms and hugged his waist with a smile.“Do I even need
Chatty did not cry. She struggled to get up from the ground and wanted to drag the beautiful little boy up.However, the little boy’s hands were wounded. Even so, the boy remained silent.When Levi ran over, he patted the dirt from Chatty’s skirt before he looked at the boy opposite them.“I’m sorry, my little sister didn’t bump into you on purpose. She’s young and doesn’t know anything. Are you okay?”Levi helped the little boy across from him.The little boy looked very beautiful like he had a mixed heritage. He was fair, gentle, and very introverted.He looked at Levi and then at Chatty, then pursed his lips.That soft little girl looked so beautiful and delicate, like a cute little princess.The boy could not help but take a few more glances at Chatty.He nodded his head.Then, he casually rubbed his wounded hand on his body and turned to leave.Levi took the boy’s hand. “You’re injured. Shall I ask my daddy to help you?”The little boy shook his head and withdrew his
Grant and Aida were not worried and sat there without moving.Levi walked over obediently and told them about his new friend.“Mommy, he’s a big brother and our new friend. He didn’t get angry even when Chatty bumped into him…”Grant listened casually while watching Clayton hold his daughter.Just when they were about to leave prematurely, the principal interjected.“Oh, that student always likes to be alone. He can’t speak, and he’s Mr. Eric Ferguson’s son.”Grant’s eyes narrowed slightly. His face instantly turned cold.Aida frowned.“Eric’s son? Why is he here?”Did Eric dump his newly recognized son at boarding school?The principal smiled.“Yes, that child is introverted, obedient, and quite smart. It’s just that Mr. Ferguson never showed up. All formalities were done by someone else. They followed the school’s regulations and allowed the boy to go home once a week.”Nicole stood there and turned her head slightly.She frowned.The little boy who had been staring at
Mr. and Mrs. Lindstrom left the Stanton Mansion regrettably.Samuel walked in the back and looked at Nicole hesitantly.“I’m sorry, Ms. Stanton.”Nicole raised her eyebrows. “Mr. Lindstrom, I understand that you feel apologetic, but I can’t just forgive and forget about this. No matter what, I’m glad that you managed to come back safely. Take care of yourself.”They would not take revenge on Samuel again, but there was also no need to keep a friendship with him.Samuel understood what Nicole meant and nodded.After taking two steps out, he stopped, turned his head, and said in a dry and bitter voice.“Is Lumi doing well?”Nicole frowned and looked at him.“She’s married to Ian, and they’re on their honeymoon. So, yes, she’s doing very well.”Samuel’s face turned pale. His eyes trembled slightly, and his face was taut. He quickly lowered his eyes and turned to leave.He had been in a dire situation abroad.Thus, his family did not mention a word about Lumi so as not to distr
Nicole’s throat was still a little hoarse as she looked up at Clayton angrily.Clayton chuckled and lowered his head to kiss her between the eyebrows.“It’s all my fault. But you need to understand how hard it is for me to see the most beautiful woman in the world every day. How can I control myself? I’m still a human after all.”Nicole did not forgive him right away because of his sweet talk.She snorted softly to express her dissatisfaction.Clayton was sensible enough and carried her into the bathroom to help her wash up. This time, he was more well-behaved.He chuckled lightly.“Should I push off your afternoon tea with Julie? I can just say that you’re not feeling well and fell asleep…”Clayton was being thoughtful. After all, she was exhausted from their physical activity and should get some rest.Nicole obviously misunderstood him and pushed him away. She slowly sat up without caring about the towel that fell off and hurriedly walked to the dressing room.“No, I don’t
Julie nodded knowingly.“No wonder.”Nicole smiled. She could only say this in front of outsiders.The editor-in-chief smiled. “Kirsi is his partner this time. She doesn’t have any good resources at the moment, but I heard that our boss gave her the female lead position because Mr. Lindstrom is back.”Nicole raised her eyebrows. Her face paled a little.Fortunately, Lumi divorced Samuel back then. Otherwise, Lumi would have been nauseated by this.Nicole looked down and saw that the set up was ready.A platform was built at the filming site. Shane stood there with his muscular figure that was rare in showbiz.His masculinity was not the same as those burly men who deliberately went to the gym to train.Shane was young and immature, but the look of resilience and experience in his eyes and his toughness was something that no male celebrity in the circle could imitate. The most obvious difference was the everlasting coldness in his eyes.Kirsi changed into the gown for the phot
Clayton came very quickly. His car arrived before the reporters came.Julie hitched a ride with them, and Clayton sent her to her office.Nicole wanted to follow Julie and get out of the car, but Julie rejected her outrightly.“Tea time is over. Have a safe journey home!”Clayton politely said goodbye and started the car engine.Before Nicole asked how Shane became an actor, Clayton said, “Baby, shall we move out of the mansion?”Nicole paused.She immediately understood what Clayton meant.It was not convenient for them to keep staying at the Stanton Mansion, but it was indeed more convenient for Chatty to crawl everywhere there.Clayton continued, “Isn’t Dad going to start picking Levi up from school? Let’s take Chatty home for a few days to get used to it?”Nicole thought about it for a while and agreed.It was mainly because Chatty was too happy in the mansion.Clayton glanced at her with a smile, then turned the steering wheel and drove toward their apartment.Nicole
