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
At this time, Clayton’s face was solemn and glum.Clayton exuded a chill and was inexplicably frightening.This was not just vigilance for someone trespassing their property. It was more likely to be a provocation.The result was out.Clayton and Nicole left the hospital.Clayton did not drive them back to the apartment but went straight to a hotel.Nicole was a little surprised.Clayton smiled and comforted her. “The apartment isn’t safe anymore. This hotel has the highest security. I lived here when I just arrived in Mediania. You’ll have to put up with staying here for a few days, okay?”Nicole pursed her lips. “What about you?”“I’ll be with you.”Clayton smiled and pulled her hand to lead her out of the car. He rubbed his palm against hers to softly comfort her.“Don’t worry. I’ll get someone to protect you at all times.”They let down their guard because Tyler was arrested, but what they have to worry about now were people who were more sinister than Tyler.Clayton’s
Nicole walked over, expressionless.“Why are you two…”Before Luke could speak, Tina said with a smile, “You know that I have so much free time now, so I came here to participate in the exhibition. Coincidentally, I met Mr. Youngblood here, and he promised to be my male companion.”Luke frowned and wanted to shrug Tina’s hand away, but he held back.Tina probably had many acquaintances in this event, so it was not good for Luke to offend her at this time.Nicole raised her eyebrows and glanced at Shane.“This is Shane Libb, you guys have probably heard of him. This is Mr. Youngblood from Z Technologies, and this is… Still Mrs. Gilbert.”Luke Youngblood breathed a sigh of relief upon Nicole’s introduction.However, Tina felt embarrassed.Tina glanced at Nicole disapprovingly and reluctantly let go of Luke’s arm.Then, she looked at Shane playfully.“Shane almost became a famous actor. Nicole, you have quite a broad range of preferences. Why didn’t you bring Mr. Sloan here?”
Zach was observing Tina’s reaction.Tina was not hysterical as he had imagined, and she did not mention divorce.She must have already thought it through and accepted it.Zach was relieved and chased after her.“Wifey, don’t worry. I’m always loyal to you. That woman will never appear in front of you again!”Tina went inside with a calm face.The aerospace exhibition was on the thirteenth floor of this building.Zach and Kirsi came here for another event, and they did not have an invitation letter to attend the exhibition.Thus, Zach could only watch helplessly as Tina and Nicole entered the venue. He smiled and took out his phone.“Babe, where are you?”As soon as Tina entered, her expression changed.She was no longer in the mood to check out anything.Nicole took Luke around and came back to see Tina in the lounge, lost in thought.Luke paused when he saw Nicole’s hesitation.“Ms. Stanton, I won’t go over there. I’ll go over and consult Dr. Campbell about something.”
Zach and Kirsi hurriedly left the venue.Some of the guests present were acquainted with Tina.They all looked at Tina weirdly.Everyone was aware of the Gilberts’ situation. Usually, marriage is over once a man starts to defend his mistress in public. It was truly pathetic.Shane was not bothered about Tina’s situation.He subconsciously looked up at Nicole.Since Kirsi left, was his mission over?Tina stood there and felt the coldness from all directions.She stared blankly in the direction where Zach and Kirsi left, and her desire to get revenge instantly disappeared.All that was left was frustration.Tina always thought that Zach was only putting on a show due to his indifference and greed.As long as he was not sincere to other women, Tina was just watching a good show.However, Tina understood Zach well.That was how Zach protected Tina back then. Now, he protected Kirsi the same way.This scene was truly an eyesore.It was as if all her warnings had hit her in th
Nathaniel said with a smile.Nicole smiled. She was happy to see him come out of his lovelorn state.Although Nathaniel was not someone who Livia could trust for the rest of her life, Nicole was happy that he could find another person to love.“Where did this little girl come from? She doesn’t look local.”Nathaniel’s eyes lit up.“I picked her up.”He leaned over and whispered to Nicole.“Literally. I saw a few thugs messing with her at the train station. That’s how I found out that she came to search for her brother. Her brother went to college and lost contact with her family. She wanted to find a place to work, but she was almost trafficked.”Nicole widened her mouth in shock.Judging by Yasmin’s demeanor earlier, it did not seem like she had experienced so much.Just as Nicole was about to say something, she saw Yasmin walking over to them.Nathaniel smiled, stood up, and dragged the stool for her.“Does this meal suit your taste? Would you like to order something else
