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
Nicole glanced at Clayton angrily and could not help but gently push him. However, she was weak and had no strength.Her behavior was like a young girl flirting with her boyfriend.Clayton looked gentle and warm. He touched her cheek and looked at the glass of warm water that had cooled. His gaze deepened as he said, “Come on, take your meds first.”Nicole was stunned, her face turned pale.She glanced at him in surprise. Clayton turned around and picked up the bottles of medicine on the table. He looked carefully and said, “You can stare at me after you take them.”Nicole’s pale face looked a little fragile and evasive.“When did you find out?”Clayton’s gaze deepened.“When I came back, I asked Roland to investigate, but Malcolm King didn’t leak any information. You were still in the hospital, and he notified me to go over and told me to watch you take your meds in the future.”Nicole felt suffocated for a moment. But she soon smiled as if nothing was wrong.“I’m not like t
An hour and a half later, Nicole slowly woke up.The person holding her was warm and strong. His arms were muscular.Last night’s scenes returned to her mind in an instant.Nicole was afraid that she was just dreaming, so she looked up at Clayton’s face. Just as she was about to get up, his hand subconsciously tightened, and she fell back on him again.However, she hit his leg.Clayton’s face instantly turned pale from the pain. Then, he opened his eyes.Nicole realized that something was wrong, so she quickly got up, knelt beside him, and subconsciously lifted the quilt to have a look.However, Clayton stopped her by grabbing the corner of the quilt. He stretched out his hand to pull her onto him and said with a sleepy and lazy voice, “What are you doing so early in the morning?”Nicole felt a little guilty.“Did I hit your leg? Does it hurt?”“No, it doesn’t hurt.”He stroked her hair reassuringly.Nicole remained silent.Clayton realized her silence, so he sat up, leane
