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
Clayton called the restaurant and asked the chef to prepare lunch before he took them out.Nicole went to the restaurant several times, but she always went alone.This time, Clayton held her hand and led her in, which made her feel a little awkward.After all, she did not expect them to have such quick progress.However, everyone acted normal.“Boss, your table is ready.”Clayton nodded and shook Nicole’s hand that he was holding.“This is my wife.”“Hello, Madam.”The waiters smiled and greeted them. They were surprised, but they did not show it on the surface.This news quickly spread throughout the restaurant.“It turns out that the only VIP member we have is the boss’s wife!”“Is she that beauty who often comes to order meals but doesn’t look very happy?”“It looks like they reconciled!”“I knew Kira was trying her luck!”......This time, Nicole was in a good mood because she came to the restaurant as the boss’s wife.She looked around and felt that everything was
Chatty ignored many of Clayton’s shortcomings.She ignored his inferiority complex which was magnified because of his pride.Chatty’s classmate’s surrounded Clayton, who could hardly maintain the expression on his face. He was still forcing himself to show an approachable smile.Fortunately, the teacher came in time.Clayton stroked Chatty’s hair before he left the classroom.He stood at the door for ten minutes and was reluctant to leave.It was not until Nicole called to urge him that Clayton answered the call and walked out.“Don’t worry, I’ll be right there.”Nicole did not sit and wait in the car.Instead, she stood at the school gate and looked inside from time to time.She was relieved when she saw Clayton’s figure.“What took so long?”Clayton sighed and felt sorry for his precious daughter.“I feel sorry for Chatty that she has to go to school at such a young age…”Nicole glanced at him and frowned slightly.“You do? Didn’t Michael start school earlier than Chat
Grant took care of Aida in the hospital.Although this was Aida’s second pregnancy, the Stanton family did not relax one bit.Floyd sent a few servants to take care of her, but none of them were actually useful.That was because Grant did everything for Aida.In the past few days, Grant went to the hospital every day. When Aida was discharged from the hospital, Grant took her back to their home.Floyd wanted to see his youngest grandson, but Grant immediately refused, saying that their own home was quieter.Floyd could not say anything about that, but he was waiting anxiously at home every day.Thus, as soon as Nicole said that she was going back for dinner and that she had a surprise for him, he was elated.Floyd immediately called Kai and Julie over.Although Nicole told Clayton that he did not need to prepare anything, Clayton always valued proper etiquette.He asked Roland to open his safe at the bank and selected a few antique paintings for Floyd before he asked someone
Some time ago, the Stanton family’s driver often picked Chance up from school with Levi, and Eric would pick him up from the Stanton Mansion at night.The Stanton Mansion was very lively. Everyone liked Chance, and they did not deliberately isolate him.Mr. Anderson, the butler, would also bring Chance delicious snacks and help him put on his favorite movies.Although the Ferguson Villa was quiet, Eric would patiently talk to Chance about his school matters and would ask him to be polite at the Stanton Mansion.Chance heard that Chatty’s father died, and he thought it would be best if Aunt Nicole could be his mother.However, he waited day by day for nothing.One day, Eric asked the driver to pick him up.It meant that the Stanton family would not send anyone to pick Chance up anymore.Since then, Chance had never stepped foot into the Stanton Mansion again.Eric also did not mention Nicole again.However, Chance really liked the Stanton family.Nicole looked at Chance’s fai
