Eric said, “Open it and take a look.”His eyes were gentle. His side profile looked like it had been outlined by a brush. It was exquisite, deep, and clear. He also had such an awe-inspiring and noble vibe.Nicole was speechless and opened the box. It was a limited-edition bracelet from a famous luxury brand. There was only one of this in the world.It was indeed beautiful. It was even more exquisite and refined than the advertisements she saw.She did not get to book it in time and did not think that Eric got his hands on it.Eric raised his large hand and poured her a cup of tea. He raised his eyebrows to look at the little kid next to him and reluctantly poured him a cup.Lil Michael excitedly leaned in to see the bracelet. ‘Luckily, it’s not as big as my bracelet!’“Old Mister, you’re too petty. How can you be afraid to spend money on a girl?”Eric raised his eyebrows speechlessly.Lil Michael confidently took out his red velvet box.“Pretty Lady, this is my gift for you.
Eric hooked his lips. “Because the invitation has been delivered to me.”Nicole was speechless.Her heart shook. Stanton Corporation and Ferguson Corporation both had a vested interest in this project and were both evenly matched candidates.There was no reason for Clayton Sloan to invite Ferguson Corporation and not Stanton Corporation. ‘Has Clayton already decided?’Looking at Nicole’s glum face, Lil Michael immediately tugged at her sleeve.“Pretty Lady, if you want to go, I can invite you…”‘Anyway, it’s held by Daddy, so I can invite my friends too, right?Eric looked at Lil Michael and thought, ‘What big talk…’Nicole did not take it to heart thinking that Lil Michael was only being thoughtful to comfort her.She smiled at the little charmer and looked at Eric with a clear, cold gaze.“Mr. Ferguson, you’re here to show off then?”Eric’s eyebrows knitted slightly. “I lack a female companion. You can…”Nicole put down the teacup she was holding. “No need, I’ll think of
Lil Michael blinked and was just about to open his mouth to introduce himself, but an eager voice suddenly came through his miniature earphones.His nanny said, “You can’t tell her! If you do, she’ll like your daddy instead!”Compared to his dad, Lil Michael felt that he did not seem to have any other advantages than being young.‘My Pretty Lady can’t be hooked by Daddy! Absolutely not!’Lil Michael’s opened mouth closed tightly again. His eyes shifted cleverly.“My daddy’s a rich man, but all his money is mine too, so you should just like me.”Nicole laughed helplessly and smiled as her heart melted.Michael’s dad must be very rich!Nicole took Michael back to the Stanton Mansion. Tigger was extremely excited and spun in circles around Lil Michael.“Mama, I like Lil Michael so much!”Lil Michael picked Tigger up and stroked its head.“I like you too, kitty!”“I’m a tiger!”Tigger wagged its tail in defiance.When Nicole went to the kitchen to get some water, Lil Michael
Nicole was surprised to see this and was delighted. This was coincidentally her favorite dessert store!“Thanks, Michael. Take care!”Lil Michael waved his little hands. “Bye, Pretty Lady!”Tigger ran over and wagged its little tail.“Bye, Lil Michael!”......In the car.Lil Michael proudly tilted his head. “Pretty Lady is really pretty, right?”The nanny could not help but nod. “Yeah, she’s very pretty! Prettier than any of those women who want to get close to your daddy, so you need to have a sense of crisis!”Lil Michael blinked his sapphire eyes and nodded his little head solemnly.‘Yes, I should have a sense of crisis!’The bearded bodyguard sat aggrievedly in front.“I thought I was supposed to go. I didn’t even get to see her…”The nanny rolled her eyes at him. “You’ll scare the pretty lady if you go!”Lil Michael nodded approvingly. “Exactly!”The fierce-looking bodyguard shrank in his seat even more aggrievedly.Lil Michael frowned in thought for a moment. H
When Nicole came out of the office lobby, she saw Lil Michael leaning against the side of the van with a cool pose.His delicate little face attracted a lot of attention. His sapphire eyes were very animated as they sparkled. He simply looked so cute.‘When this little charmer grows up, he’ll surely be a heartbreaker…’ Nicole thought.As soon as Michael saw Nicole, he ran over excitedly and hugged her legs, then rubbed his head on the side of her thigh. His voice was soft and cute.“Pretty Lady, I miss you so much…”Nicole laughed speechlessly. Her heart melted.She was not at all annoyed by the sudden appearance of this little boy. Rather, she felt an inexplicable sense of affection towards him.“Lil Michael, I miss you too…”Nicole squatted down to talk to him and could not help but tousle his curly hair. It felt so soft!Lil Michael carried a big box without any brand on it and handed it to her.“Pretty Lady, will you attend a party with me today?”Nicole looked at him in
Lil Michael blushed shyly and lowered his head as the two of them walked to the entrance of the banquet hall.The atmosphere inside was quiet and elegant. At a glance, Nicole knew that this was no ordinary party.In particular, she seemed to have noticed Eric Ferguson from a distance.Nicole paused in her footsteps. Her expression changed slightly.Lil Michael saw Nicole’s stagnant smile and asked, “Pretty Lady, why aren’t you going in? My daddy’s waiting for us inside…”Nicole frowned for a moment.Her hand that was holding Lil Michael tightened.“Your daddy... What’s his name?”Lil Michael was just about to reply when an older man came up behind them with two other men.“Who are you?” That middle-aged man’s voice was loud.Nicole turned around. The man scrutinized the gown that Nicole was wearing and seemed to look a little angry.“How did you steal the master’s gown? Who are you? Gold-diggers are not welcomed here! Get out!”Besides feeling a little baffled, Nicole was i
The butler at the back shook fiercely, but it was already too late.He had almost forgotten that this young master was not an easy child to fool!What a nuisance!Christian Jenner urged the butler on the side. “Let’s go in quickly! We can’t let Nicole get to it first! How did she show up here so suddenly?”The butler gritted his teeth and could only take them in first.Every staff member working for Clayton Sloan knew the butler, so when he led the two strangers, not even an invitation was needed.The waiter who had not left yet paused for a while.“Mr. Sloan only said to invite Young Master and Ms. Stanton inside. He didn’t mention anyone else.”The butler’s face changed slightly.“Nonsense! I’m the butler of this family! Mr. Sloan won’t blame me. I’ll take the blame if anything happens.”The butler then led Christian and Xion Jenner inside.The banquet hall was lavishly decorated. The standard hotel’s furnishings were all replaced with the highest quality furnishings for t
Nicole turned back and rolled her eyes at Eric. “What do you care?”Eric held his breath for a moment and immediately returned to normal.He was already used to it.After a long time, Eric said, “I’m just asking... You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to…”His tone sounded a little aggrieved.The three people next to him were shocked and almost dropped their glasses.Nicole’s heart shuddered slightly. She pursed her lips immediately. ‘Can this son of a b*tch act normal for once?!’Lil Michael stood in front of Nicole and blocked Eric from approaching her. The little man blinked his clear sapphire eyes and looked at Eric seriously.“Old Mister, stay away from her!”Eric raised his eyebrows. He did not expect this little boy who gave Nicole white chrysanthemums to be Clayton Sloan’s son.However, that did not matter. It did not change the fact that he hates him anyway.“Old Mister, do you like Pretty Lady too?”Lil Michael folded his arms. His delicate features crinkle
