Clayton took a deep look at Nicole and felt frustrated.He looked at the snow-white skin on Nicole’s chest with his dark eyes and pulled over a thin blanket on the side to cover her up.“Wait a sec. Let’s have dinner together tonight.”Nicole smiled and watched as he walked out with a glum face.She inexplicably felt much better.Nicole could hear Clayton’s voice outside. He grunted and said in a cold and harsh tone, “I thought that there was an earthquake since you didn’t even care to knock.”The person who barged in was guilty and regretted barging in when he noticed Clayton’s glum expression and messy shirt.Nicole stretched her back, fixed her clothes, and lay back down.After a while, she fell asleep in a daze.When she woke up again, it was already dark.Beyond the curtains, the sky outside was dark.It took Nicole a while to come to her senses before she recalled where she was.She could vaguely hear someone outside, talking in a low voice.Clayton had deliberately
Clayton suddenly felt a kind of anger and fear in his heart.Nicole was stunned for a moment and smiled.“Don’t think too much. It’s just a casual question.”She took a deep breath and felt like a scumbag when she asked this question.Sure enough, instead of worrying about Clayton leaving her, it was better to let him worry about her leaving him.That way, she would still have the initiative.Only a stupid person like Tina would waste half her life on a man like Zach.Nicole was different. She was very confident. At least, judging by how much Clayton loved her, it was not a problem to keep this up for a decade or two.As for the future, she would just worry about it later.Although Nicole mentioned it casually, Clayton took it to heart.Clayton secretly speculated what went wrong and could not keep calm at all.He drove straight and missed the intersection to their house.Nicole was stunned for a moment and reminded him, “You missed the intersection…”Clayton smiled warmly
Julie could hear the sarcasm in Nicole’s words. She felt embarrassed and winked at Nicole to hint at her.For Julie’s sake, Nicole stopped talking so that it would be less awkward.However, Cheryl realized that she had been rude as she heard the dissatisfaction in Nicole’s words.Cheryl smiled. “I’m sorry, it’s just a subconscious reaction. Please don’t take it to heart, Ms. Stanton.”She took out her business card and introduced herself seriously.“Although I’ve just returned to Mediania, I’ve already registered with HY Law Firm. You can come to me any time if you need anything.”Nicole raised her eyebrows. There was nothing wrong with Cheryl’s appearance.Nicole took over Cheryl’s business card with both hands, glanced at it, and smiled.“Sure! HY is the best law firm in Atlanta, so they’re sure to hire the best lawyers to guarantee our basic rights…”Julie quickly echoed. “Right? Ms. Lichman won the grand prize of the debate competition abroad. She’s an excellent lawyer. We
Nicole paused. She felt the warm air from the ground, but she could not see Clayton.While she was dumbfounded, she heard a light snort and someone complained in a lazy voice, “You know how to come back, huh?”It was Clayton’s voice.Perhaps he was already soaking in the hot spring.Nicole breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little guilty.“Don’t rush. I’ll be right there!”Nicole thought of how much time she delayed, immediately went to change her clothes, and walked out barefoot.When she was near the hot spring, she felt the steam coming from it, which warmed her whole body. Her pores seemed to be enlarged, and she felt very comfortable.The floor had a log pattern and color, and the hot spring was surrounded by white gauze, which was very artistic.Nicole walked over. The ground nearby was paved with cobblestone, each of which was crystal clear.The warmth instantly rose from the soles of her feet when she stepped on them, further enlarging her pores.The sound of the w
Clayton helped Nicole to change into a pair of pajamas, carried her to the bed in the lounge, and covered her with a thin quilt.The doctor did a checkup, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Clayton and Nicole meaningfully.“Mr. Sloan, Ms. Stanton is a little hypoglycemic. She’ll be fine. The main reason for her feeling like that is that she has been soaking for too long and um… She was a little too overworked, which caused an insufficient blood supply to the heart. So, it’s advisable to take it easy…”The doctor said it euphemistically, but both Clayton and Nicole understood.Nicole just wished that she could hide under the quilt.Clayton was very calm and casually glanced at Nicole. He thanked the doctor and sent him out the door.Not long after, someone sent over a bottle of sports drink.Clayton took it over and handed it to Nicole.“Do you need me to feed you?”Nicole blinked her twinkling eyes.“Why didn’t you explain to them earlier? How embarrassing…”Clayton si
Yvette sighed, turned her head, and pointed to the energetic young hunks inside the basketball court. “Look, it’d be great if I didn’t get married. Any one of them can be my sugar baby. How great will that be? It’s such a youthful feeling…”Julie could not help but say, “Why? Did Mr. Sheldon have some sort of disability? Is he already having troubles at his age?!”In an instant, the air around them seemed to be quiet.Yvette turned her head stiffly and blushed. She gritted her teeth.“Julie, don’t talk nonsense! He doesn’t have any trouble with that!”Julie frowned. “Then why do you look so regretful? I thought…”Yvette closed her eyes and said helplessly, “Old men and young hunks each have their own perks. I just sighed a little. Don’t think too much about it.”Nicole blinked and could not help but laugh.“Okay, this topic is getting out of hand…”Yvette snorted lightly.The next second, there was a sudden exclamation from the basketball court.The basketball flew out and
Nicole was not conscious and only felt that her head was getting heavier and heavier.Even when that hand on her neck was cold and made her feel uncomfortable, Nicole did not have the strength to brush it away.She only thought that no one but Clayton could be home at this hour.When did Clayton become so inconsiderate?It was quiet, and she fell asleep.Nicole did not know how long had passed.Her body suddenly trembled, and she woke up with a start when she heard the noise outside.She felt so uncomfortable as if she had been knocked over by a truck.Her body was sore like she had been hit, but she could not find any wounds or bruises.Nicole vaguely felt that something was wrong.She looked down and did not know when she had changed into pajamas.Nicole was a little sweaty because she had a nightmare, but she still felt fresh and clean.She slowly let out a deep breath, went to wash up, and came out with a change of clothes.After that, she felt much better, but her bod
Nicole relaxed her neck. After a busy night, the weird feeling in her heart faded away.She did not feel anything as if it was just like any other day.Clayton went over and massaged the acupoints on her neck. He smiled and kissed the top of her head.Afterward, he spoke in a low voice, “Did you have something to tell me just now?”Nicole paused.Her exhaustion was instantly swept away.She only felt that she should not doubt Clayton. He had no reason to attack her.Moreover, they had a steady relationship with no outside factors that could cause their relationship to deteriorate.Nicole paused and looked up at him. Her heart was racing.Clayton’s dark eyes reflected her face and a faint light. He smiled.“If you have something to say, just say it. What can’t we tell each other about?”Nicole took a deep breath and said what was in her heart.“I drank wine today and felt fine when I came back. But when I woke up, I felt uncomfortable all over, as if… I was drugged. My body
