In fact, Nicole had already said countless times that she no longer liked Eric Ferguson, but no one really believed her. Did they all think that she was just throwing a tantrum all this while with Eric?Just when Clayton thought that she would not answer his question, Nicole laughed.She looked bright and arrogant with innate confidence. There was a hint of passion and attraction.“If liking someone is for life, then do you really not plan to remarry after your wife died?”Her question was equally as presumptuous and direct as his, but Nicole could not use any other milder way to express her feelings.That was because when she heard such a question, she only wanted to curse up a storm.Clayton froze for a moment. He was slightly stunned by her reaction.He was not the slightest bit angry or offended. Instead, he let out a low chuckle. He smiled gently and replied, “Understood.”Clayton did not need to answer because they both know the answer.At that moment, something vaguely

Luca’s face was fierce and cold as he followed them. He glared dangerously at Toto.If Toto was not walking next to Nicole, Luca would have beat him to a pulp by now.Nicole’s phone kept chiming with message alerts. She glanced at it and saw that it was Yvette.[Why didn’t you reply to my message? Are you really dating Clayton Sloan?!]......Nicole did not reply and was surprised to see more than two hundred unread messages and notifications.‘What the hell? Why is everyone asking about Clayton?’[Ian Carter: Are you really together with Clayton? Are you ready to be a stepmother? I only want you to be happy, but I think maybe you should consider Eric Ferguson…][Julie Nixon: Clayton’s not a bad choice, but don’t take it seriously! How can an older guy be better than young hunks, amirite?][Kai Stanton: Are you ditching your dozens of boy toys? The entire showbiz is at your disposal, so you’d better think this through!][Grant Stanton: Money is King. What’s the use of feeling

Nicole subconsciously wanted to help Eric hold up the IV fluid. The needle on his right hand was about to fall off. Beads of blood were seeping out.Eric’s face was miserably pale, and his thin lips were pressed into a straight line. His eyes lit up for a moment when he saw her.“Nicole, come in...”He took a few steps backward and lay back down on the bed.Nicole stood in the doorway and watched as Eric struggled to hang the IV fluid back in place, so she walked over to help him.She looked down at him. “Mr. Ferguson, how are you feeling?”Eric’s eyes flickered slightly as he smiled.“Much better now. You didn’t catch a cold, right?”Eric raised his eyes. His face was pale, and his voice was still a bit raspy.His gaze when Nicole looked at him was suffused with sadness.It was quite pitiful.“No.”Nicole’s heart trembled slightly. She walked to the chair opposite the bed and sat down as if nothing had happened.Toto came in with a bowl of chicken soup and looked at the f

Nicole lowered her eyes. “Forget it. I can’t drag you into my mess because of my selfish reasons.”She knew very well that Eric would not believe a simple photo.Eric was only so mad just now because he did not come to his senses.Nicole withdrew her gaze and smiled. “Goodnight, Mr. Sloan.”“Goodnight.”She went back to her room.Nicole took a shower, changed into her pajamas, and was called over by her father to have a video call with the rest of the family.Grant had some work matters to discuss with Nicole. After the two of them sorted it out, the heaviness on Grant’s brow remained unabated. At that moment, Kai showed up on the screen.Kai yelled, “Are you really dating Clayton Sloan?!”Nicole knew that Kai was the biggest gossip queen in their family.“No!”She was speechless.Kai let out a sigh of relief.“That’s good. You can have a fling, but don’t take it seriously. If you do, you’re really a lost cause.”Nicole was speechless.Grant said, “K has a point.”It wa

Lil Michael thought, ‘No one can take away my Pretty Lady, not even Daddy!’When Eric saw this, a light and warm smile spread across his face.Suddenly, Eric felt that Lil Michael was not so much of an eyesore as before.“Mr. Sloan, don’t get angry. Your son has always been like this. He takes after you…”Clayton was speechless.Before Clayton said anything, Lil Michael immediately pulled Nicole’s hand and ran away in a fit of anger.Nicole followed the boy to a quiet place, where he finally stopped and panted.“Pretty Lady, among us three big men, who treat you the best?”Lil Michael blinked his bright, clear eyes and said the most innocent words.His sapphire eyes looked so pure.Nicole was stunned. ‘Three men? Lil Michael, Eric, and Clayton? Big men?’She could not understand what Lil Michael was thinking, but she still coaxed him.“Of course it’s you!”Lil Michael laughed happily and patted his chest proudly.“That’s for sure! I’m the best! The two of them are ugly, s
