The police officer spoke again.“That car is nearly scrapped. We have investigated Mrs. Quinn Ferguson’s latest activities and call records. She has contacted an unfamiliar number from abroad, but it’s a temporary number. We’ve started tracking it. If you have any clues, you can provide them to us.”Nicole nodded.Her expression was very complicated. She felt sorry for what happened to Quinn, but she could not think of Quinn’s purpose for doing this.“Have you met Mrs. Quinn Ferguson recently?”The police officer asked.Nicole shook her head. “No, I don’t have any contact with her privately.”The police officer nodded.“Well, we have no other questions for now, so you two can leave.”Clayton thanked him and helped Nicole get up.“Were you scared?”Clayton touched Nicole’s forehead.Nicole shook her head. “I just can’t figure it out.”The couple went out and got into the car.Clayton paused. “Why don’t we go to the hospital to check it out? Mr. Ferguson may know more than
Eric lowered his head, and his shoulders slumped.“You can come up with any conditions you want as compensation.”Seeing Eric like this, Nicole was speechless for a while.Nicole did not mind confronting Eric if he insisted on keeping this under wraps.However, Eric compromised so easily.Nicole pursed her lips. Although Quinn brought this onto herself and deserved it, Quinn received her punishment.Eric was also unaware of it.Nicole thought about it for a while, then she looked at him coldly and said blankly, “Well, I don’t mind keeping this matter from the public, but you must tell the police because I’m not sure if Mrs. Ferguson will continue to find trouble with me after she wakes up. So, it’s better to let the police handle it. But I won’t disclose it to the media. Of course, if there are any comments online related to this matter, you’ll have to deal with it yourself. We won’t intervene.”She was willing to compromise, but she would not help Eric to hide this from the po
Clayton quickly grabbed Chatty’s fleshy little hand and said, “I will!”He smiled, went over, and patted Fischer’s head.“Come on, let’s go in. I’ll quiz you on your homework.”Fischer sighed, walked in front, and shook his head.Nicole was carrying little Kenji and teasing him.Kenji looked at Nicole, grinned, and stretched out his hand to touch her face, and grab her hair and her clothes. He was so happy that he wanted to jump up.Clayton clicked his tongue, put Chatty down, and went to carry Kenji.The baby was very cheerful. He looked better than when he was just discharged from the hospital.His eyebrows were delicate, and his double-eyelid eyes were dark, glittering, and clear.Kenji was loveable.Nicole smiled and sat on the side. “He’s a little more mischievous than Little Leaf, who was so obedient even as a baby.”Clayton smiled and nodded.“It’s good that he’s mischievous. Otherwise, Big Brother will be bored!”“True.”As they spoke, Floyd came in with a fishing
Seeing that Kai and Nicole were about to quarrel again, Clayton rubbed his temples helplessly and took Nicole’s hand.“Okay, okay… We’ll pick Julie up along the way. Hasn’t it been a long time since you’ve seen her? You can take this opportunity to talk to her!”“My brother-in-law is still the best! Thanks! I’ll go home and wait for her then!”Kai stood up, sent a message to Julie, and left without hesitation.Fischer saw that Kai was leaving and took advantage of the situation to win the game.He jumped in excitement.Clayton looked at the boy with a stern expression and said in a warm and deep voice, “Go upstairs and sleep.”Fischer nodded excitedly and did not dare to talk back to Clayton. He was happy with winning the game once.Nicole watched as Floyd came down from the study and smiled at him.“Dad, we’ll get going then.”“It’s so late. Why don’t you stay for the night and leave tomorrow?”“Third Brother is slacking off and wants us to pick Julie up on his behalf, so w
Nicole and Clayton tacitly did not talk about what happened with Kira blocking the car window earlier, but Julie took the initiative to mention it. Nicole also responded.The corners of Clayton’s mouth twitched, and he just listened to the girls’ conversation.“That woman used to be a model abroad. This time, she has some connections and wants to act in my movie as a model who made a comeback. It’s a secondary role, but it’s still not a small role. The investor wants to stuff her in, but she’s not that talented… Why would I spend so much money to support an untalented person? What a joke!”Julie spoke in front while she rubbed her temples. Her voice was a bit cold.Clayton’s eyes were dark as he glanced at Nicole.Nicole did not seem to mind this. Instead, she seemed more interested in the gossip.“She wants to be an actress?”Julie raised her eyebrows. “That also depends on whether someone is willing to spend money on her, right?”This dinner was probably the most effort that
Eric glanced at his phone, then raised his foot and walked in the direction of the elevator. He spoke as he walked.“Didn’t I tell you to stop thanking me verbally? You only want to thank me verbally to make yourself feel better. I don’t run a charity, so don’t you feel guilty at all?”Selena was speechless.She followed him into the elevator and coughed.“You don’t lack anything, so I really can’t think of what to give you. Why don’t you give me a hint?”Eric glanced at her silently and was amused by her.He hesitated for a few seconds as if he was seriously considering what she just said.“Let me think about it. Are you ready to go bankrupt?”Selena was shocked.She had to go bankrupt to get him a gift?Selena instantly calmed down and did not dare to make a sound.When the elevator arrived downstairs, Selena did not want to go out with him.Eric just got off the elevator when he heard her murmur, “Mr. Moneybags...”Eric immediately turned his head. His eyes were indiffe
Selena pursed her lips and said, “I’ve never seen anything like this abroad, and I didn’t know what kind of exhibition this was since it wasn’t written on the ticket...”Eric reached out and interrupted her with a stern and calm tone, “I don’t care what your motive is, but I advise you to stop having any ideas about me. Your thank-you gift really made an impression, but I appreciate your thought. Not everyone will like this special hobby of yours.”Selena’s face flushed red because of what he said.Did he misunderstand that she was interested in him because she brought him here?Right, normal people would think so.However, whatever she said now was useless.Although Eric did not like the exhibition, he was a decent person and did not leave immediately.When they left, the person in charge of the exhibition came over to send them off.Selena really had nothing to say.She could not explain it, nor could she betray Mitchell.Eric’s driver was waiting at the entrance, so Eric g
Levi and Chance talked and laughed freely.A small dimple appeared on Chance’s face. His eyes were shining, clear, and pure.Eric did not know what they were discussing, but they seemed like they got along well.After a while, Chatty and Fischer also ran over.Levi naturally held Chatty’s school bag and handed her candy from the bag before Chatty stood beside them obediently and listened to their conversation in confusion.Eric was a little startled when he saw this scene from the car.For a while, he did not hear what the person on the phone said.The children were so cute and hopeful.However, when Eric saw them talking and laughing together, he felt a void in his heart.That void could no longer heal, and his life suddenly dimmed.Eric knew he was delusional.After Clayton’s return, Eric restrained himself from thinking about Nicole. If he reduced contact with her bit by bit, she could fade out of his life.At this moment, he felt a sense of despair that he could not gra
