Nicole felt bad to receive a handful of diamonds for nothing.When she got back into the car, she sat in the backseat with Eric while Luca and the driver sat in the front.Eric closed his eyes, but he was exuding a cold vibe. He did not say a word.Nicole suddenly remembered that Eric had asked her to try out the dishes, yet she did not give any feedback.She coughed slightly and said, “Actually, the chef of this restaurant is pretty good. The ingredients are definitely high quality. What do you think?”Eric frowned slightly. His expression eased a little.“Yeah, I’m glad you like it.”Nicole breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she could not just eat a free meal for nothing and make him so angry in the process. Nicole looked at Luca through the rearview mirror.“Luca, what do you think?”Luca said, “It’s just average. Looks nice but doesn’t fill the stomach.”Nicole was speechless.Eric glared at Luca coldly and felt stuffy in his chest.“Get Toto to make some dinner for
While the attending doctor was doing the examination, Eric had to let go of his hand for a moment.In less than a minute, Eric did not hear Nicole’s movement and urged.“Nicole, give me your hand…”Eric’s voice was weak and pitiful.The doctors thought to themselves, ‘Mr. Ferguson and Ms. Stanton have such a good relationship… It’s such a surprise that Mr. Ferguson is so clingy!’A moment later, a hand reached over. Eric saw it through the corner of his eye and immediately grabbed her wrist. His heart was racing, but he felt at ease.He dared not caress her hand for fear of angering her.Seeing that she compromised, all the grievance he felt earlier quietly dissipated.The examination lasted ten minutes, during which time Eric’s heart was pounding violently.When it was over, he suddenly heard Toto’s voice coming from outside.“Ms. Stanton, are you sure you only want one small cup of tea? Let me serve you another cup…”The voice gradually approached.“No, thanks. I’m done.”
Before Eric went to bed, he gave Toto an ultimatum. Eric wanted his relationship with Nicole to improve within a short period, so Toto stayed up all night and finally came up with a good idea.In the blink of an eye, it was Floyd Stanton’s birthday.Nicole did not bring much with her when she moved to Imperial Gardens, so she did not bring anything with her when she left.She happily stood at the door and waved goodbye to Eric.‘Finally! I don’t have to see him for a while…’Nicole was so excited that she could spin in circles.Eric watched her leave with gentle eyes. After she was gone, his eyes became sharp and cold as he glared at Toto.“Are you ready?”Toto nodded with confidence. “Of course! Don’t worry. This time, as long as you get along with your future father-in-law, you’ll definitely get into the Stanton family’s inner circle. By then, it won’t be far-fetched that you’ll become one big happy family!”Eric’s eyebrows furrowed on his expressionless face, but the corner
Before Keith got on the cruise ship, he saw a few of the latest Ferraris parked on the shore, one of which he had his eyes on for a long time but did not manage to book.Keith admitted that he was jealous.“Nicole, did you guys come here in those Ferraris just now?”Nicole looked at him and smiled indifferently as she flipped her hair back. The diamond earrings on her ear sparkled.“No, we came in a helicopter.”Keith was speechless.Not far away, Miles Kavanagh and Nathaniel walked in.When Nicole saw them, she went over to greet them.Nathaniel glanced at Eric and shook his head.“My second uncle is so useless. He became a cripple but still can’t get the girl…”Miles said, “Mr. Ferguson’s situation is special.”Otherwise, with Eric’s conditions, any woman would be soft-hearted and fall for him in an instant.However, the woman was Nicole.Nicole looked at them and smiled. “It’s been a long time! How are you guys?”Nathaniel looked bitter. “Since you left the show, it’s
In the beginning, everyone thought that Melanie would marry Colton White, so they sucked up to her in every way.When Colton married someone else, Melanie suddenly found that she was kicked out of that elite circle.Thus, no one would help her.Nicole looked at Melanie with a cold gaze.She wondered how Melanie got on deck because they were some distance from the shore!Unfortunately, without an invitation, Melanie was stopped outside by the bodyguards.Nicole stood there and did not intend to let her in.“Help you? On what grounds?”Melanie stood there looking soft and weak.“Ms. Stanton, although we don’t know each other well, you ruined my life, so don’t you have any sense of guilt?”It was clearly reproachful words, but Melanie acted aggrieved and weak, yet aggressive.Melanie blamed everything on Nicole. If Nicole had not gone to their private room with Miles that day, Melanie would have been Mrs. White by now.She was resentful since she fell from glory.Melanie thou
For a while, the temperature around them seemed to drop to freezing point.Nicole’s silence pleased Melanie because it meant that her words had taken effect.Melanie gently raised her eyebrows and could not help but smile.The light reflected on the bay flickered.“Even without Miles, you have many more options, but I only have Miles…”Melanie spoke aggrievedly.“Ms. Stanton, just take pity on me and return Miles to me, please?”Nicole raised an eyebrow and looked at Melanie with an unconscious devilish grin that carried contempt.She tilted her head. Her gaze flickered slightly and deliberately wanted to agitate Melanie.“I do have many choices, and Miles is indeed one of them. What I’m curious about is, didn’t you think about the consequences when you stole his money?”“I... I had no choice!” Melanie gnashed her teeth.Nicole slowly said, “Oh? You had no choice but to take your boyfriend’s money to spend it on other men?”At the mention of her ugly past, Melanie felt emba
Miles walked down the stairs impatiently and looked at Nicole apologetically.“Ms. Stanton, leave this to me. Go on in. Don’t let your guests see this joke of a person.”Nicole raised her eyebrows. ‘Right, I don’t want to deal with her anyway…’She smiled lightly. “Okay, then I’ll leave this to you.”Melanie looked at the tacit understanding and familiarity between those two who did not care about her and felt so vexed that she unconsciously clenched her fists.Miles walked over in large strides. He had an imposing and cold vibe as he grabbed Melanie’s arm and dragged her towards the deck.He pushed Melanie’s waist against the railing. Below them was the deep dark sea.There were no strong waves, but the water still threatened to devour one’s life. The cold wind blew past them.Melanie suddenly felt frightened.She clutched the railing with a deadly grip as her voice trembled.“Miles, w-what are you trying to do?!”Miles was shrouded in gloom and a piercing chill.He kept p
“What does it have to do with her?!” Keith could not help but raise his voice.He had been friends with Eric for so many years, but Eric was still speculating whether Nicole wanted to go to his birthday party.Keith did not expect Ms. Nicole Stanton to show up at his party.Nicole overheard their conversation and turned around. Suddenly, a small figure ran towards her with a regretful expression.“Pretty Lady…”Nicole stood in place and smiled gently. “Lil Michael, what’s wrong?”Naturally, Eric and Keith noticed them.Keith pushed Eric’s wheelchair over.“What a coincidence! We were just looking for you, Ms. Stanton…” Keith said with a smile.Nicole ignored him and stroked Lil Michael’s curly hair. His sapphire eyes looked very disappointed.“I searched the entire cruise ship and couldn’t find your favorite white chrysanthemums…”There was a momentary silence.Nicole thought to herself, ‘That’s a good thing!’Keith could not help but laugh. “If you can find white chrysant
