Chapter 438 Precious Hand
Nicole looked at Clayton’s hand with understanding and put on her seatbelt. She smiled and asked, “Mr. Sloan, is it okay for you to take so much time off?”Clayton said indifferently, “Yeah. My project partner isn’t even around, so should I stay to talk to Gerard and Tucker? I’ve announced a short break for that project and for them to get the core research done first. When we get back, it’ll be just in time to see what they come up with.”Nicole heard this and blushed with a little guilt. She felt like she was not doing her job well.Clayton paused for a moment. “Of course, Lil Michael really wants to come. He hasn’t forgiven me for reprimanding him last night, so I ought to tag along.”Speaking of Lil Michael, Nicole chuckled. “So that’s what it is, huh? Mr. Sloan, you’re a really good father to Lil Michael. He must love you very much.”What a loving father and son relationship!Clayton smiled and did not respond. He thought to himself, ‘Love me?! My son just wants to inherit
Chapter 439 See the World
Nicole froze for a moment. ‘Then why did I come down so soon?’She turned back and saw that Eric was planning to come down by himself. He looked like he was about to roll down the stairs, then they would just have to send him to the hospital and their trip would be over before it even started.Nicole paused for a moment. “Wait! Don’t move…”Eric stopped moving obediently and waited patiently for Nicole to help him.Before Nicole could take a step forward, she saw Luca right behind Eric.He was in the back taking their suitcases and had not gotten off the helicopter yet!Toto’s face changed in an instant as he watched Luca put down the suitcases. Without any instructions, he steadily pushed Eric down the ramp.Eric was startled because he did not expect someone to push him from behind.The ramp was sturdy, and Luca used a lot of strength to control the speed. Soon, the wheelchair landed on the ground safely.However, Eric’s face was glum with suppressed dissatisfaction. He had
Chapter 440 Push You Back
Eric finally got his wish for Nicole to push him around the banks of the Seine.Nicole was purely enjoying the scenery and did not really want to listen to Toto’s annoying chatter.After getting rid of the others, Eric’s expression eased significantly.In front of them, a fit, tattooed man was busking with a violin. He was very immersed in the music and had a crowd gathered around him.If the sound of the violin was elegant and delicate, accompanied by the soft flow of the river, this scene would be very impressive.However, the busker was an amateur violin player. It sounded like an old woman wailing and was very harsh to the ears.Nicole unknowingly walked over and stopped. Eric listened for a while without an expression.When the song ended, the crowd breathed a sigh of relief and finally dispersed.The busker saw the wheelchair-bound man and the beautiful lady pushing the wheelchair and looked at her with regret and sympathy.He looked like it was a loss for Nicole to be w
Chapter 441 You Want to Compete Against Me
Nicole was the focal point everywhere she went. Just like the first time in Tattle Bar when Eric first heard Nicole play the violin on the stage. She was so bright, passionate, and confident. It was as if all the beauty in this world belonged to her.Eric would remember that moment forever.Nicole watched the water rippling and did not say anything. She thought to herself, ‘Is this psychopath Eric trying to mess up my good mood?!’Eric said, “I suddenly feel like giving you all the nice things in this world…”‘Is he done?!’ Nicole suddenly turned back and frowned. Just as she opened her mouth, fireworks lit up the dark sky behind Eric.A cluster of beautiful purple and red sparks suddenly exploded in the sky. It was a spectacular sight. In an instant, the meteor shower slowly fell into the Seine.Nicole was amazed as she saw the beautiful blooms in the background of the river, lighting up the night sky.Eris was sitting alone in his wheelchair with the fireworks as his backgro
Chapter 442 You’re Conceited
In that instant, the atmosphere between the two men seemed to be frozen.Clayton did not show any aggression and looked indifferent with a faint smile on his face.“So what if I am?”Eric could not control his anger because the feeling of having his things coveted by others made him very upset.Clayton was very powerful and mysterious. On the other hand, Eric’s business was obviously huge.In terms of strength, they were both equals.Soon, Eric regained his composure. Anger was only resentment expressed by the weak, and he did not lose just yet.His face was sunken in the dark. The fireworks bloomed in front of them, lighting up the sky intermittently, which cast a shadow on his glum face as he glared at Clayton.“Mr. Sloan, you’re too conceited.”Why would Nicole give Clayton a change when he has a child and such deep affection for his late wife?Eric knew that Nicole would not succumb to another relationship.Clayton looked indifferent as he said calmly, “I’m not.”He see
Chapter 443 Good at Kissing *ss
They went back to the chateau after midnight when the fireworks stopped and the streets became desolate.Back at the chateau, the butler had prepared supper. The servants showed them to their respective rooms. Floyd was exhausted and went to bed.Clayton carried the sleeping Lil Michael and went to his room.Nicole was also a bit tired and had little appetite, so she went upstairs and found out that Eric’s room was right opposite hers.Toto, who came to deliver supper, called out to Nicole.“Ms. Stanton, you haven’t had anything to eat earlier. Have some light snacks before bed. It’ll help with your sleep.”He always had a way with words.During Nicole’s moment of hesitation, Toto squeezed into her room.“Did you know? Mr. Ferguson worked so hard today to prepare this fireworks display! He contacted so many departments and spent tens of millions just so you can see fireworks on the Seine! Sigh… If I’m a woman, I’ll be so grateful that I can die happy!”Nicole was startled. Her
Chapter 444 Shouldn’t Waste Food
Nicole wanted to say something sarcastic but thinking of the fireworks earlier, her tone eased a little.“You think too much. Sleep early.”Before she closed the door, Eric tilted his head a little and suddenly said, “I’m hungry. I want what you’re having.”Toto immediately said, “That’s the last portion… Ms. Stanton, you’ll be bored if you eat alone, why don’t you share some with Mr. Ferguson?”It would be a romantic supper for just the two of them!Nicole narrowed her eyes and did not say anything.Eric added, “I won’t eat much…”He only wanted to go to her room and accompany her for one meal.Nicole raised her eyebrows and laughed lightly. She turned around, picked up the tray, and handed it to Toto.“Okay, I’m not eating. It’s all yours.”She really regretted holding back her harsh words earlier. Eric’s stupid habit of pushing his luck really made her want to kick him to death.Eric wrinkled his eyebrows. “I don’t mean this.”“But I do,” she said.“Aren’t you hungry?”
Chapter 445 Take Him With You
Since they came back late last night, they all got up late.It was still drizzling last night, so the air was humid and chilly.Perhaps from the weather changes, Eric came down with a high fever. Toto was the first to notice and called the doctor. After a while, his fever finally subsided.Eric could no longer go around and lay in bed looking weak, pale, and fragile.Floyd was very concerned and visited Eric several times. When Eric was awake, his voice was low and hoarse.“Chairman Stanton, if you feel bored, I’ll have someone arrange a car to take you around. A light drizzle shouldn’t affect your tour. You can still go sightseeing.”Floyd patted Eric’s shoulder. “Forget it. Seeing you like this, I’m also afraid to come down with a fever.”Eric was speechless.He swept a glance around the room and looked disappointed when he did not see Nicole.Floyd coughed. “Lil N said that she wanted to go to the university for a walk before going for a class reunion. She’s getting ready t
