Chapter 374 You’re My Honored Guest
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
Chapter 375 Stay Away From Her
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
Chapter 376 Throw Them Out
For a moment, the atmosphere was stagnant.The mingling scene not far away felt like it was separated by a barrier.Clayton Sloan’s disgust was undisguised. Whether it was a butler who had been with him for ten years, someone would have to pay for breaking his rules.His words were direct. No matter who Clayton chose to work with, Christian Jenner was far from being qualified.Christian’s face changed a few times. He looked at the butler pleadingly. “Big Brother…”The butler frowned and still tried to get another chance for Christian. It made no sense that Nicole’s sudden appearance robbed his brother of this chance.“Mr. Sloan… Can you please reconsider?”“My daddy has made it very clear! Are you old and confused? Daddy won’t make friends with douchebags! Daddy likes my pretty lady…”Lil Michael could not help but frown. His features on that pretty little face were scrunched up together. ‘This butler is really annoying as always!’Usually, the butler told Michael what to do w
Chapter 377 She’s the First Choice
Listening to the conversation earlier, the dress Nicole was wearing seemed to have something to do with Lil Michael’s mommy.Nicole glanced at Lil Michael, who blinked his big sparkling eyes and immediately shook his head.“It’s not!”Clayton Sloan paused for a moment. His expression eased as he said, “It’s not. It’s just from the same designer, so the style and color are somewhat similar. Let’s head back.”Nicole did not probe further and followed Clayton back to the table.Lil Michael was taken outside while the adults stayed in the banquet hall.Eric Ferguson had been sitting in his seat. His eyes were staring at the trio unblinkingly the whole time. The people around came to talk to him, but he ignored them.The main seat was occupied by Clayton who had a mysteriously powerful aura very similar to the strong and cold Eric Ferguson in some ways.The three people next to Eric saw Clayton and hurriedly went back to their seats.Although this was a private dinner, its nature w
Chapter 378 I Choose You
At that moment, Eric Ferguson panicked.They clearly did not know each other before this, so why would Clayton Sloan look at Nicole differently?Why would Clayton Sloan give away such a big project so simply?Eric was not heartbroken about the lost project. Ferguson Corporation had various businesses stretching to all walks of life. Although this project was big, it was just a drop in the bucket.He would rather forgo this cooperation than hear about Clayton’s interest in Nicole!Nicole was also a little bewildered and felt like she was in a dream.On closer look, Clayton did not seem like he was joking at all!Why?Nicole had a million questions in her mind.However, she still looked calm and composed and did not have any drastic reaction.‘Is it because of Lil Michael?’Clayton briefly said a few words to conclude the dinner, so everyone got up and left the hall.This dinner came to a simple and shocking end.The only guests left were Nicole and Eric.Nicole wanted to c
Chapter 379 She Admits It
This memory was buried deep in Nicole’s heart. She dared not even remember it for fear of touching her heart that once throbbed for that man. She was afraid that she would be soft-hearted and fall head over heels for him again.Nicole did not know who captured the moment she pounced on the little boy.The smell of gunpowder seemed to linger around her. It was chilling and frightening.Clayton Sloan’s sudden laughter pulled Nicole out of her memories.Her eyes were slightly moist. As soon as she looked up, she met Eric Ferguson’s deep gaze.His eyes felt like a whirlpool that wanted to suck her in.Nicole looked at Eric’s expression and felt her heart skip a beat.The bloodied manly face in Nicole’s memory overlapped with Eric’s face at this time, so distinct and handsome.His features were so deep and exquisite, like a perfect sculpture.The photo in Eric’s hand was the moment when he jumped on Nicole.The light and shadows overlapped as gunpowder and smoke filled the air.H
Chapter 380 I Have to Marry You
Lil Michael pouted. His crystal-clear eyes glimmered with anticipation. He was so cute that Nicole’s heart instantly melted.“Michael, Pretty Lady still has things to do. You should go upstairs and do your homework!”Clayton looked at the time and spoke in a clear, cold voice.Lil Michael instantly looked disappointed. He glared miserably at his father. He could never get rid of all this homework no matter where they went!What bad luck!Nicole thought about the little boy in that photo. He had grown so big. She somehow felt closer to him.She stroked his head of curly hair and looked at him gently.“I’ll play with you tomorrow, alright?”Lil Michael blinked his large clear eyes and looked so pitiful.Just when Nicole thought that he would understand and let go, Lil Michael suddenly grabbed onto her dress and hugged her tightly.His eyes were firm and sly.“No, no! I don’t wanna do homework! I wanna sleep with Pretty Lady and follow you home! Daddy, you can be alone!”The b
Chapter 381 Don’t Let Him Off
Back in Stanton Mansion, Nicole was exhausted. She could not find it in herself to be happy at all despite getting this large project.Perhaps it was because she had not been mentally prepared for such an old, tragic story to be brought up.She lay in her bed in the dead of night, mulling over the contents of that photo over and over again.Suddenly, there was a notification on her phone.She picked it up irritably, glanced at it, and frowned.It was from Eric.[Nicole, I’m glad that the person I saved was you.][Not anyone else, but you. Thank God you’re safe and sound.]Nicole blinked and looked at the darkness out the window. Then, she went out to get a glass of milk and finished it slowly before going back upstairs.The past would not come back anyway, so why should she dwell on something that she had already let go of?At that thought, Nicole went to bed and had a good night’s sleep.The news of the cooperation with Clayton Sloan was abuzz after just one night.Major c
