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
Floyd walked over, held Clayton’s arm, and looked at him carefully for a few seconds. His eyes were also slightly red.Finally, Floyd looked at Nicole and snorted with dissatisfaction.“It looks like you’ve known this for a long time. How could you keep this from me for so long?!”Nicole smiled guiltily, but Clayton answered, “I just returned to Mediania this month. Nicole didn’t know before this. I didn’t dare to show up because I was in poor health and didn’t want you all to worry…”Floyd saw Clayton’s expression when he clenched his cane tightly and immediately felt heartbroken for him.He walked over and patted Clayton on the shoulder.Floyd sighed and said, “Well, all that matters is that you’re back and alive! We’re grateful for that. Nothing else matters.”Kai jumped up from the sofa, walked over in shock, and looked at Clayton.“You really didn’t die! Clayton, you must have nine lives!”Kai glanced at Nicole. He remembered that when they came back from abroad, Nicole t
After returning from the Stanton Mansion, Clayton kept frowning. Nicole was not sure if he was too tired or if he was thinking about something.Nicole answered a few calls from Logan, so she did not bother to ask Clayton about it for a while.When Clayton came back to his senses, he called Roland.“Yes. Sell it, preferably to someone with experience.”Nicole frowned and saw that Clayton had hung up the phone.“What are you selling?”“The restaurant. I don’t plan to continue running it.”Clayton regarded the restaurant as a temporary residence. It was not a business that he wanted to run.The restaurant’s profit was not enough to make ends meet. Roland could tell that the restaurant would not be profitable for at least three years.In the early stage, it was necessary to provide the best ingredients and services to win customers and gain a reputation.However, those were the most expensive aspects of a business.Instead of wasting time here, Clayton might as well manage his b
