Clayton drove in the direction of the apartment for 20 minutes, but just as he reached the high-end neighborhood where the apartment was, he received a call from the restaurant staff.“Boss, there are two children in the restaurant. I think one of them is your daughter!”Clayton cleared his throat and quickly turned the car around.“Okay. I’ll head back now. Don’t let them wander about outside. Just keep them in the restaurant and let them do whatever they want.”The employee immediately understood the importance of these two children based on his boss’s tone.The employee let the children stay and coaxed them patiently.When Clayton arrived, he saw that the two children came with their nanny, Mrs. Zoe.Mrs. Zoe was surprised to see Clayton.“Mr. Sloan?”Clayton nodded. He looked relieved and exhausted from not sleeping all night.He rubbed his temples to wake himself up a little.Mrs. Zoe breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to herself.“No wonder Chatty insisted on comi
Nicole thought that she had caused Clayton a lot of trouble by being hospitalized.She was disappointed, but also confused and uncertain about their future.Malcolm was stunned by her words.He did not expect this to happen.He was speechless for a moment and did not know how to react.Fortunately, Nicole did not give him time to react and hung up the phone.Clayton came and left again.Nicole took a deep breath. She planned to go back to the apartment to change her clothes and check on the children before going to the office.Thanks to the side effects of alcohol, Nicole slept really soundly that night.When she got to the apartment, the children’s room was empty.Mrs. Zoe was also gone.She pursed her lips and thought, ‘Maybe Mrs. Zoe took the children out for a walk…’Everything was fine as long as the children did not sneak out.Nicole called Mrs. Zoe, who answered quickly, “Madam, are you back?”“Yeah, you took the kids out?”“Yes. Chatty had a nightmare and wanted
Nicole stood there with her arms folded.The wind blew and sobered Nicole up. She thought, ‘There’s no need to be unhappy over little things.’She laughed and said, “It’s okay. I’m glad you get to find your dream. When your first store opens, I’ll ask someone to bring you some more coffee beans from abroad.”Hamilton readily agreed. “Sure!”Nicole was speechless.Hamilton and Nicole chatted happily.The wind blew the jasmine flowers, which fell on Nicole’s shoulders and hair.Seeing this, Hamilton casually swept the flowers off her shoulders.This seemingly intimate scene had a different meaning to it when another person saw it.Clayton did not know how he felt when he happened to see this scene.Roland called Clayton to come over because of an important contract, so Clayton had to show up no matter what.Since Clayton decided to use his real identity to live in Mediania, he had to leave a way out for himself.He still had to do business and earn money.Thus, when he went
The long-lost sweetness seemed to instantly refresh Clayton’s memories about their countless moments of intimacy.They found comfort and satisfaction in each other.Clayton had always been infatuated with Nicole. Once he touched her, he could not extricate himself.He could not hide his inner longing, and he had to face his own obscene thoughts.Clayton had always restrained himself because he cared more about her feelings, but this time, he was agitated because he saw Nicole and Hamilton together at the club.He could not calm down because he knew that if Nicole got through this painful time without him, someone else would replace him.The Stantons had invited Hamilton home for dinner. Floyd allowed Hamilton, who had a good family background and good looks, to approach his daughter. He even asked Hamilton to pick up and drop off Chatty at school.These were crossing the line.Everyone did not expose Floyd’s thoughts, and Clayton did not dare to make a deeper guess about what i
Clayton was driving Nicole crazy.She burst into tears, sobbed softly, and finally conceded.“Yes, I want you...”The man’s eyes darkened. Nicole could not hold back or calm down because he was the person she loved.Clayton immediately wanted to fulfill his wish, but Nicole suddenly gritted her teeth and said, “I want your life!”He was slightly shocked. Then, he let out a low chuckle and said in a hoarse voice, “Okay, I’m here to die...”Everything that followed was unexpected.......The sky darkened.Nicole fell asleep from exhaustion. She did not even have the strength to move her fingers.She had always known that Clayton had strong stamina, but she never thought that he was so energetic. Was he even human?Did he always hide his desire from her back then?He had such a hidden strength.Nicole soon fell asleep. She was drowsy as if she had taken some sleeping pills.It was addictive.Clayton lay beside her with his arms propped up. His face was relaxed.He looked a
Mrs. Zoe washed her hands and wanted to go to the kitchen to cook.She was happy today because Clayton was back. This family could finally be the same as before.The two children went to take a bath. Clayton did not worry about them because they could take care of themselves, so he voluntarily went to the kitchen to help.Seeing that his legs were injured, Mrs. Zoe smiled and asked him to go out.“Sir, I’ll make whatever you want to eat. You should rest outside.”Clayton smiled. His face was relaxed, and his voice was deep and pleasant.“It’s okay. You can cook your meal and the children’s meal. I’ll cook mine and Nicole’s.”Mrs. Zoe paused and immediately understood what he wanted to do.“Okay. Mr. Sloan. When you weren’t around, something just seemed missing at home. Even though everyone acted the same as before, it felt different, especially Madam. She seldom even talked. We all thought you were dead, and we could all tell that she was very sad. But she never cried in front
Clayton put Chatty on the ground and said, “You’ll feel sleepy once you close your eyes. Go and listen to Fischer’s bedtime story. I’ll send you guys to school tomorrow.”Chatty’s eyes lit up in excitement as soon as she heard that her father would send them to school.Clayton had never sent them to school before.Thus, Chatty was elated.Chatty and Fischer kissed Nicole one after the other before they returned to the bedroom.Nicole looked at the surreal scene in front of her cautiously as if she was afraid that this was just a fleeting illusion.The pasta in front of Nicole was getting cold.Clayton pushed the pasta forward, looked at Nicole, and said in an extremely gentle voice, “Do you want to have a few bites?”Nicole’s eyes were sore, but she did not want Clayton to see her fragility and longing.What happened in the afternoon under the influence of alcohol was so sudden that Nicole felt like forgetting about everything and moving on.However, thinking about it now, Ni
At that time, Clayton was in the car, and his face was pale. It looked as if he had passed out, so he probably did not know that his car had knocked over Nicole.Nicole was the only one who was brooding over this matter.Clayton smiled slightly. “You can just ask me if you have any doubts. I’ll tell you everything.”Nicole raised her eyelids and frowned. She instantly became hot-tempered and said angrily, “I don’t want to ask anymore. You don’t have to tell me anything!”She stood up and walked to the room. Somehow, she felt like throwing a tantrum.However, no matter how angry she was, she did not ask him to leave.When Clayton went into the room with his cane, Nicole had already gone to the bathroom to wash up.Her body was still a little sore, so she wanted to take a bath to relieve her fatigue.Clayton waited for a while and read the magazine on the table, but he could not concentrate.Thus, he quietly went out to Chatty’s room.Clayton did not know if Fischer’s story was
