Chatty shouted happily because there was a small fountain inside the French restaurant, and there were a few small fish in it.The fish looked so cute.Fischer and the handsome little boy followed Chatty excitedly.The handsome little boy came up to Chatty and said, “Come play with me! I have lots of toys and delicious food!”Chatty asked, “What toys do you have?”Fischer said with dissatisfaction. “We can’t play together because we don’t know you!”“My father is a big boss, and we live in a big villa! My mother is a beauty queen. Everyone wants to play with me!”The handsome little boy was well-groomed and arrogant.Chatty looked at him in confusion, raised her head, and asked, “What’s a big villa? Is it bigger than our castle in France?”Fischer looked down on Chatty for asking such a stupid question.“That means it’s a little smaller than Grandpa’s mansion.”Chatty nodded her head in understanding.“I don’t like it then! I like big castles!”The handsome little boy star
Chatty was so sweet that everyone laughed.Aida took the flower and pinched Chatty’s cheek.“Thanks, Chatty! I really like it!”Nicole held Fischer’s hand and went in. Grant looked at them with some doubt.“Is school over so soon? Where’s Levi?”Nicole sighed heavily.“These two were caught skipping school in the afternoon!”Grant was stunned for a moment as he glanced at Chatty and Fischer.“By the way, this is...”Nicole pointed to Hamilton, who was behind her.Hamilton stood politely at the door and did not go in. “Hello, Mr. Stanton. I’m Hamilton Scott.”Grant came to his senses and smiled.“I know. Lance mentioned you before. It must be boring for you to be Nicole’s assistant. Why don’t you try out other departments?”Hamilton smiled. He knew that Grant was just being polite.“Mr. Stanton, you’re too kind. I can learn a lot from Ms. Stanton, and it’s good enough for me. I came in a hurry today and didn’t prepare a gift, so please forgive me. Congratulations to you an
Kira felt a kinship with Clayton because of their similar circumstances.She dragged her crippled leg and followed Clayton.Kira had no other choice because she could not be a model anymore. She did not have a degree either because she dropped out of high school to become a model.In the beginning, she had a great career, but she gradually lost the limelight.She relied on her so-called “editorial face” which was popular internationally. However, her looks were not sought after in Mediania because the audience did not like such looks.Moreover, Kira worked with brands that were hostile toward Mediania back then, so she did not have many Medianian fans.Thus, she had no reputation in Mediania.There were plenty of people waiting to replace her in the fashion industry.Staying in the fashion industry was a dead end.Clayton had just undergone facial reconstruction surgery at that time, so he looked unnatural.His face was cold as he told her not to follow him.Kira did not lis
Hamilton, who was grinning from ear to ear, closed his mouth instantly as if he had eaten a fly.He thought, ‘I look friendly?’ In order to express his dissatisfaction, Hamilton got out of the car and left with only Chatty in his arms.He left Fischer behind, so Fischer had to chase after him anxiously with his short legs.Nicole laughed out loud and followed behind. She took Fischer’s hand and coaxed him not to worry.Someone saw this scene and was irked by it. Eric was socializing nearby. He did not expect to see such a harmonious and irksome image.Nicole actually went out with another man.That man was also close to Chatty, which meant that he was not just anyone.They looked like a happy family.“Mr. Ferguson, please come in...”The business partner on the side politely invited him in.Eric straightened his clothes and took a deep breath. His mood worsened.“Please excuse me. I suddenly have something urgent to attend to. Let’s reschedule the appointment.”Before t
Hamilton raised his eyebrows and looked at Nicole.Nicole glanced at him. “Will you help me check on Chatty and Fischer?”Hamilton flashed a cute smile. “Sure!”He just wanted to piss Eric off on purpose.Nicole and Eric were the only ones left in the room.Eric raised his eyes irritably and sneered.“Did you meet this guy at some club? Is he a scammer?”Nicole’s face was slightly pale.She was exasperated because of Eric’s unreasonable criticism and struggled to stay calm.However, they were in public, so Nicole tried her best not to lose her temper and become a laughingstock.Her patience reached its limit.“Eric, don’t go too far. Whoever I want to be with is my freedom!”Eric took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and chuckled softly.“Freedom?”His eyes looked frenzied as if he could no longer hold back. He suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.“Nicole, I gave you enough freedom. Since Clayton refuses to come back, you have no choice but to accept your fate!”H
Eric left the restaurant and felt the cold wind blowing on his face.He lost control when he saw Nicole with that boy toy, but the moment he saw Clayton, he was relieved.It was useless even if he was more persistent because everyone else had to step back as soon as Clayton returned.It was quiet in the restaurant.The few minutes felt like centuries.Kira saw this and asked everyone to retreat.Clayton stood there and stared at Nicole’s side profile intently, not knowing what to do for a moment.His appearance was too sudden.Nicole might not be mentally prepared, and she might be frightened.Clayton did not know how to explain what happened to his leg and that he might never be able to do strenuous exercises in the future.Would she despise a handicapped person like him?That complicated emotion surged up again, and no one made a sound for a while.Suddenly, they heard Chatty and Fischer playing nearby.Chatty spotted her father from far away. She excitedly left Fischer
This kind of pressure was different from the feeling when Hamilton faced Eric just now.Eric’s rage came from anger and unwillingness, as well as his sense of self-superiority and contempt for others.However, Clayton was different. He was gentle but stern, and he made people feel oppressed by just standing there without speaking.It was obvious who was stronger among them.Hamilton subconsciously felt inferior to Clayton.He did not dare to be sarcastic as he did to Eric.Hamilton pursed his lips and nodded blankly.Then, he took Chatty’s and Fischer’s hands.“No worries, it’s my job. Goodbye.”After that, Hamilton took two steps out and suddenly remembered something, so he looked back at Clayton.“By the way, I’m Hamilton Scott, Ms. Stanton’s assistant… Don’t misunderstand our relationship. I just came here through the back door for an internship. I’m not her boy toy!”Hamilton said this mainly because he was afraid that Clayton would think the same way as Eric.Hearing t
Nicole hastily recharged Chatty’s smartwatch and left the room.She went back to her bedroom and had no desire to continue working.After taking a shower, she lay on the bed without a hint of sleepiness.She went to look for the medicine prescribed by the psychiatrist, took two pills, and lay down again.Nicole felt that her current state was very strange.However, she did not know what was weird about it.They were obviously close, but there seemed to be an invisible distance between them. Thus, they lacked the intimacy of reuniting after so long.Hamilton was right. Nicole and Clayton did not look like a married couple.Something went wrong between them.That was the weird part.Nicole reached out and subconsciously touched her arm. She suddenly felt like hurting herself.The place she cut herself had a light scar.Thus, she avoided wearing sleeveless clothes recently.Fortunately, it was not summer.The corners of her mouth twitched. Soon after, she felt sleepy and clo
