Nicole waited for Eric to state his conditions in exchange.

However, he did not.

Eric gave her the address and hung up the phone. Nicole was puzzled.

Was this still the Eric Ferguson she knew?

Nicole did not have time to think about it. She picked up her coat and left.

Ferguson Corporation.

After Eric hung up the phone, he picked up the cigarette next to him and lit it.

The ashtray in front of him was already densely packed with cigarette butts.

The person sitting opposite him was very puzzled.

“Ferg, why did you just tell her the address? You didn't get any benefit at all!“

Keith really understood Eric less and less.

Sitting not far away, Toto raised his eyebrows as he fed the fish silently.

This was Toto's idea.

Eric laughed softly and breathed out a mouthful of smoke. The smoke curled around, and he felt his chest grow even stuffier.

“Benefit? What kind of benefit should I ask from her?“

“Tell her to leave Clayton, of course. Tell her she can never see him again and make her come back to you!“

Keith spoke righteously.

If Keith had this chance, he would never let go of it. Eric smiled coldly. His aura was powerful and regal. “If I do that, wouldn't that benefit Clayton instead?“

If Eric really did that, Nicole would definitely not hesitate to stand with that damned man.

His position would become even worse. What was the point?

“But… It was too easy. She won't thank you for it!“ Keith shrugged speechlessly.

Eric raised his eyes and looked at Keith through the smoke.

“I don't need her thanks.“

Eric would be satisfied if Nicole's attitude toward him would soften a little.

He did not have the advantage in the first place.

When Keith heard those words, he felt that he increasingly could not understand Eric.

“But how would you know that Isaac took the child and hid him in that place?“

Keith asked him.

Eric's lips curled.“ Clayton 's men would have found him already otherwise. Why would he wait for one night?“

Although Clayton had little power in Mediania, he had money.

There were plenty of people who were willing to do things for Clayton and provide information.

Keith nodded in understanding.

He suddenly thought of something and slapped his thigh.

“Is he deliberately framing you? If the kid is really there, you won't be able to clear your name no matter how hard you try!“

In any case, if Lil Michael was hidden in a property under Eric's name, there was no way for him to explain it later.

Eric did not bother to pay attention to him. Keith 's brain was as slow as usual.

Toto walked over diligently.

“Thus, Mr. Ferguson acted preemptively and gave the news to Ms. Stanton. That way, when Clayton finds out, Ms. Stanton will naturally help Mr.

Ferguson explain. I have to say, your method is really good, Mr. Ferguson!“

The corners of Keith's mouth twitched. Was this kind of method one that a domineering president could come up with?

It was too much of a test of his intelligence. Keith gulped and looked at Toto.

“If it were me, I'd have listed my conditions. The most important thing is to get some benefits! I'd never do anything that benefits that damned man!"

Eric lifted his eyes, and Toto subconsciously said, “ That's why you haven't reconciled with your ex- wife. She still hates your guts…"

In an instant, the office was silent and somewhat cold.

Keith looked over sideways. His eyes were deadly fixed on Toto's body.

Toto pursed his lips as his body shook, then he hurriedly turned and ran out.

Keith forcefully pressed down the rage that had risen in his heart.

He looked at Eric. “How does he know about me?"

Read Chapter 1032 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Eric's tone was perfunctory, and his face was as sharp as a knife.

“You're such a disgrace that the whole world knows about it!“

Keith was speechless.

Was it that hard to ask for some dignity?

“By the way, do you know about the case where Ava York was hung by the Stanton family a few days ago? She used to be one of your people, but you didn't help her out at all?“

Eric calmly breathed out smoke and extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray in front of him.

His fingers were well defined, slender, and powerful.

“She's not one of my people. She's one of Asher Sullivan 's people. Asher puts his own safety above overs, and I won't take the initiative to jump into the pit.“

Eric's voice was a bit unruly.

It was as if he had already forgotten about Ava York.

Nicole was halfway there before she remembered to call Clayton.

However, Clayton 's phone line was busy and could not be reached.

With no other choice, Nicole went there with her own bodyguards.

The house under Eric's name was in an ordinary residential area. It looked unremarkable and even a little old.

It was the most dilapidated house Eric owned.

He was probably too embarrassed to say anything.

Nicole led her people there and saw some other people looking around downstairs.

The head of the group was none other than Clayton. Clayton 's eyes shook slightly when he saw her.

Nicole hurriedly went up to him. “He's on the thirteenth floor. Let's hurry.“

Clayton nodded and hurriedly led the people in.

There was no time to care about other people's gazes now.

The people Nicole brought used all their efforts to tell the onlookers that they could not take pictures or videos.

As soon as they got out of the elevator, they heard Lil Michael's loud voice coming from inside.

“Help! He's hitting me! Mr. Police, help me!“

Nicole's heart clenched. She was just about to rush over when Clayton hurriedly pulled her arm and dragged her back.

“There are people inside. Don't rush in.“

If Nicole lost even a strand of hair here, Clayton might die of heartache.

The people in the back knocked on the door incessantly.

The person inside that was pretending to be absent finally could not help but get annoyed.

“Who is it? Stop knocking already! Why are you still knocking when there's no one home?“

The person who knocked on the door looked at Clayton, who nodded his head.

He spoke up in a very annoyed tone.

“Are you the new tenant? You have to register yourself. Your kid has been yelling the entire time. He's a nuisance!“

The person inside could not help but open the door.“ You f*cker. I don't care if he's noisy, so—“

The instant the door was opened, he could not close it anymore.

The dozen or so bodyguards outside rushed in, making it seem much more crowded inside.

Lil Michael shouted excitedly.

“Daddy! Daddy! Your beloved son is here!“

He knew that it was Clayton even before he saw anyone.

Lil Michael was such a smart little boy!

Clayton's face softened slightly as he slowly pulled Nicole into the room.

Three strong men stood inside. They were the ones watching Lil Michael.

One of them was holding Lil Michael's neck and looked at them warily.

“You… You…"

Clayton 's eyes darkened as he looked at the man's hand.

“Let him go."

It was extremely threatening.

The man did not dare to let go for fear of losing his life.

At that critical juncture, the bodyguard on the right suddenly threw the object in his hand which happened to hit the man's wrist.

He was forced to let go.

Lil Michael lost his footing and fell to the ground. He climbed back up, dusted his hands off, and ran to Nicole.

He wiped his tears as he ran. “Pretty Lady, I was so scared…"

The loud Lil Michael from earlier instantly became a little softie.

Nicole squatted down in distress and hugged him. “ Poor baby!"

Clayton looked at Lil Michael speechlessly. He really wanted to reach out and drag him out of Nicole's arms.

'Did he not see who came in first to save him?! Was there something wrong with this kid's eyes? He had clearly cried “Daddy! Daddy!“ the loudest earlier!' Clayton thought.

It was really incomprehensible.

Before Clayton could think anything, the three large men whose only bargaining chip ran away from them immediately fell to their knees with a thud.

“It has nothing to do with us! It was Mr. Isaac Sloan who told us to do this!“

Nicole was speechless.

Sure enough, people who were not cultivated personally easily betrayed their masters.

Clayton was not surprised at all and laughed coldly. “I didn't ask such a childish question.“

There was no need to surrender so hurriedly. The men exchanged glances.

Clayton looked around.

“Did Eric Ferguson buy this house?“ The men replied carefully, “Yes.“

His eyes deepened slightly and sank coldly.

“Since you haven't caused any harm to my son, I'll let you off this time. But were you really unable to do anything when Michael was screaming so loudly?“

They were three strong men against one little boy, yet they could not do anything to him?

One of the men pursed his lips, seemingly a little aggrieved.

“We originally wanted to put some sleeping pills in his food and water, but the kid refused to eat or drink no matter what. He even broke several bowls. Mr. Isaac said to keep him alive, so we didn't dare to act rashly.“

If Isaac knew that this would happen, he would have regretted not letting them act rashly.

Clayton sneered and shot a look at the bodyguard next to him before he turned around.

He used one hand to pick up Lil Michael, who was clinging tightly onto Nicole, and walked out with large strides.

“Daddy, Daddy, let go of me! I want Pretty Lady to carry me!“

Lil Michael protested on his shoulder.

He still liked his Pretty Lady who smelled good.

Clayton spanked his bottom. “Her arms will get tired. Don't you know how heavy you are?“

Lil Michael became obedient. He was sad and upset.

He was just a little stronger.

Clayton hurt his masculine pride too much. 'I'm still a growing kid!' Lil Michael thought. Nicole followed closely behind.

She looked him up and down and was only relieved when she saw that he was fine.

“Lil Michael, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?“ What if he had internal injuries?

Lil Michael paused. “My heart hurts. I need a kiss to make it better.“

The boy puckered his lips. He was cute enough to make people's hearts melt.

Nicole laughed, and Clayton said in an icy tone,“ Come here. I'll kiss you!“

Lil Michael's face was disgusted. “Only a girl's kisses will work.“

“I'll let the nanny kiss you then. I'll tell Susan to get ready right now!“

Lil Michael panicked. Susan already liked to kiss him, so she might go out of control.

“No need, Daddy. I don't need kisses anymore. I 'm fine now!“

Nicole finally realized that he was joking and immediately could not help but laugh.

Lil Michael appeared in front of them alive and well, which made her feel like giving him all the good things in the world.

When they got to the car, Lil Michael finally got his wish and took Nicole's arm as he leaned on her, keeping Clayton a distance away.

“Pretty Lady, were you worried about me?" Nicole nodded honestly.

Lil Michael was surprised.

Clayton snorted coldly. “Susan and the bodyguard are also very worried about you. Do you want to call them?"

Lil Michael looked at Clayton reproachfully.

“Daddy, why are you playing the third wheel here?" Clayton looked at him calmly.

In his heart, he wondered if it was time for Lil Michael to start his lesson.

Nicole grinned and touched his little face.

“Your daddy was worried about you. He didn't sleep all night because he was looking for you!“

Lil Michael leaned over dubiously and pulled Clayton 's arm, shaking it.

“Daddy is the best to me!“

Clayton's heart softened. He tousled Lil Michael's hair and smiled.

“Do you remember how you were kidnapped yesterday? I told you so many times not to trust others, but you still got abducted?“

Lil Michael scratched his head and blinked his little eyes.

“No, that big meanie Isaac waved at me. I knew him, so I walked over, but then I fainted. Then I woke up at that little house…“

Lil Michael trailed off weakly. His voice became softer when he saw Clayton 's increasingly solemn face.

The boy slowly moved back to Nicole and gently held her fingers.

Li Michael blinked at her.

Nicole cleared her throat and quickly changed the topic.

“It seems like Isaac came prepared. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken Lil Michael so smoothly. But what purpose did he have for taking Lil Michael?“

Nicole felt that Isaac wanted to threaten Clayton with something.

However, he did not expect Clayton to capture him and find Lil Michael so quickly.

His motive was a little concerning.

Clayton pondered for a few seconds and snorted coldly.

“We'll know soon enough.“

“Then what are you planning to do with Isaac?“

After all, this was not Liberty. It would be very troublesome if someone got killed here.

Clayton's lips curled into a slightly cold smile.

“My father will come here in a couple of days. I want to see what he'll bring out to exchange for his brother.“

Nicole was stunned. Why were so many members from the Sloan family coming here?

However, according to Clayton's tone, it seemed he did not like his father much.

This made Nicole's heart ache for him, but she was also relieved.

It would save a lot of trouble and entanglement this way.

The car went straight to Stanton Mansion. Nicole was a little confused when she realized it.

Clayton smiled and touched Lil Michael's head.

“I know that the Stanton family is worried about Lil Michael's well-being, so it's better to come over first to report that he's fine. After all, it was

Michael's incident that messed up Mr. Stanton and Ms. Webber's engagement party. Considering the circumstances, it's better if he comes over to apologize in person.“

Of course, it was also because Clayton had to personally come to their door to explain to Floyd the rumors that Isaac created.

Nicole had not thought this far. Clayton was more attentive.

She smiled and touched Lil Michael's hair.

“Don't worry. You've lived here for a while, so they all like you.“

Lil Michael grinned. “I miss Tigger a lot. I wanna hug and pet him!“

“Sure!“

The car drove in.

The butler went over to take a look and was slightly stunned to see Clayton, Lil Michael, and Nicole come back together.

“Ms. Stanton, Mr. Sloan, you're here?“

He smiled and glanced at Lil Michael. The child who came back safely was really cute.

Nicole smiled. “Did my father go fishing again?“

The butler paused. “No, Chairman Stanton is in a bad

mood today. He didn't go fishing. He's killing fishes instead…"

Nicole faintly froze and looked at Clayton.

Why else was Floyd in a bad mood if not because of Clayton?

Clayton comforted her with a smile and extended his hand, wanting to go inside together while holding her hand.

Nicole pursed her lips and hesitated a few seconds. Were they going to be so high-profile?

Read Chapter 1035 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

However, just as Nicole reached out, a soft little hand grabbed her.

Lil Michael smiled sweetly at her. “Pretty Lady likes me the most, right?“

Then, Lil Michael put his other hand in Clayton's. “Daddy likes me the most, right?“

'Therefore, the person they should hold hands with is me! Why should Daddy hold Pretty Lady's hand? He really lacked self-awareness!' Lil Michael thought.

Nicole laughed and looked at Clayton, whose face had gone dark, and pulled him inside.

If this was not the Stanton Mansion, Clayton would have disciplined Lil Michael. This child was really too insensitive.

The butler had gone in earlier to inform Floyd.

Floyd came out of the kitchen, still smelling of fish. When he saw Clayton, he snorted heavily.

It was a look that clearly did not welcome his arrival. Lil Michael popped out from behind them.

“Uncle Floyd…“

He called out to Floyd and ran over to him.

Floyd was stunned and looked at Lil Michael excitedly. He was just about to squat down to hug him when he suddenly remembered that he had just butchered fish and smelled bad, so he avoided the boy.

“Good boy, Michael. Let me go up and get changed first…“

Lil Michael nuzzled his neck and refused to let go.“ Uncle Floyd, you smell good, much better than Daddy!“

Floyd's expression softened in an instant, and he carried the child inside.

“What a good boy. You're the most lovable child. You must have suffered last night. Who took you away?“

“It was that big meanie Isaac Sloan who took me away. Fortunately, Pretty Lady saved me. We're one big family now!“

Lil Michael opened his mouth candidly. Floyd laughed.

On the contrary, Nicole and Clayton were forgotten at the door.

The butler went over and reminded her, “Ms. Stanton, please go in.“

Nicole was stunned and quickly nodded. She suddenly reached out and took Clayton 's hand before walking over.

“Dad, are Grant and Aida not at home? Lil Michael came here specially to apologize to them."

Floyd rolled his eyes at her.

“They're very busy. Why should Lil Michael apologize when he didn't do anything wrong. It was others who were at fault, right?“ Lil Michael nodded heavily.

“It was that big meanie Isaac Sloan!“ “Yes, yes, yes, that big meanie.“

Floyd dotingly stroked his head and looked at Clayton standing there, momentarily at a loss.

He pursed his lips and put Lil Michael down.

“Tigger is upstairs, so you can go up. He missed you a lot!“

Lil Michael's eyes lit up as he ran upstairs happily. The butler followed behind him. “Be careful…“

Only three people were left in the living room. Floyd's expression grew solemn.

“Why are you here? Didn't I make myself clear enough the other day?“

Nicole opened her mouth, feeling aggrieved for Clayton, and wanted to speak up on his behalf.

However, a warning look from Floyd frightened her and made her swallow her words.

Clayton lowered his head. His face was warm and modest as he smiled.

“Uncle Floyd, I 'm here to apologize and to explain Isaac's words.“

Floyd snorted lightly.

He clapped his hands and stood up. “We'll talk in the study. I'll go up and change my clothes as well.“

This meant that he did not want Nicole to be present.

Nicole looked at Floyd helplessly, but he simply ignored her.

Clayton patted her shoulder and smiled to comfort her.

“Don't worry. It'll be fine in a while."

Clayton saw that she was worried about him and felt so happy like he could fly.

No matter what Floyd said to make things hard for him, he could endure it.

In the study.

Clayton patiently waited for Floyd to change his clothes and stood there humbly.

Floyd looked at him and sat on the sofa.

“Sit.“

Clayton thought about it before taking a seat. He repeated to Floyd what he told Nicole.

This time, Clayton felt as if his heart was not as heavy when he talked about it.

When he spoke, it was like he was talking about someone else.

It turned out that pain could really be alleviated and eliminated.

Clayton finished speaking and looked at Floyd quietly.

The room got colder.

It was different from facing Nicole. Floyd's compassion and forbearance were special cases when facing his family.

In fact, Floyd was a very serious person when he was facing outsiders, just like now.

Clayton did not even dare to breathe heavily.

As time passed, Clayton's heart grew even more apprehensive, and he could not help but become a little nervous.

It was silent and repressed like he was waiting for a verdict.

After a while, Floyd spoke. His voice was very light but still majestic.

“Clayton, you saved Nicole's life, so you're our family's benefactor. I should thank you for that. However, I don't want to use my daughter to thank you. Do you understand?“

Clayton pursed his lips tightly.

He nodded.

Of course, he understood.

“I actually don't really approve of you two being together. A simpler person would be more suitable for Nicole. The person I think more highly of is Ian Carter. Although Ian lacks the ability and doesn't have many prospects, it's clear at a glance that he likes Nicole.“

Floyd sighed. “Unfortunately, Nicole has no interest in him, and he fails to live up to expectations.“

Clayton's face turned slightly unpleasant.

He forgot that Ian Carter was among the four people who went to watch the meteor shower.

'It turns out that Ian was Floyd's ideal type?' Clayton thought.

“You're excellent in all aspects. Putting aside the fact that you have a son, you're indeed very perfect, but I've been in the industry for many years. I also know that there's no such thing as a perfect person. The more flawless a person is, the more dangerous they are. Clayton, your background is the biggest danger. I can't throw Nicole into that firepit of your Sloan family. I hope you understand.“

In the end, Floyd decided to give up on Clayton. Clayton jerked his head up. His voice was tense.

“I've had nothing to do with the Sloan family for a long time.“

“If you really had nothing to do with them, how did you lose Michael? What if the person you lose tomorrow is Nicole? What then?“

Floyd pursued aggressively. He stared intently at Clayton with a strong attitude.

As long as Clayton was around, it was impossible for Nicole to completely disassociate herself from the Sloan family.

He could not let Nicole get involved in this potential danger.

In his sphere of influence, Nicole could do whatever she wanted.

However, once it was beyond this scope? Floyd could not be careless.

At the mention of Nicole, Clayton paused slightly. His handsome face stiffened, and his eyes darkened.

A long time passed before he spoke in a firm tone.

“Uncle Floyd, I value her more than my own life. I won't let her be in any danger. I'll use all my strength to protect her first. If the Sloan family dares to touch her…"

Clayton paused. His tone turned cold.

“Then I'll make it so the Sloan family disappears from this world."

As soon as he spoke, Floyd 's pupils shrank slightly.

Floyd narrowed his eyes and closely scrutinized every inch of Clayton 's face.

Clayton met Floyd's gaze without the slightest intention to hide.

He was not joking.

Clayton could hold back for decades. He endured their mocks and ridicules.

However, if they touched his bottom line, he would never allow it.

Nicole was his bottom line.

Read Chapter 1037 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

To Clayton, the Sloan family should have stopped existing long ago.

He just could not be bothered to do anything. Floyd's eyes were dark as he nodded.

“Go out. Lil N is probably waiting anxiously.“

Floyd did not take a position. He straightened his clothes and walked out.

Clayton pondered on Floyd's attitude.

'Maybe Floyd didn't care that I'm from the Sloan family? Maybe he won't stop Nicole from being together with me.'

The corners of Clayton 's lips curled up. His taut face finally relaxed as he slowly exhaled a breath.

The worst was over.

Nicole played with Lil Michael and Tigger upstairs for a while.

After Tigger failed to upgrade itself, it fell into a state of self-reflection and was sullen and unhappy. It looked like it had suffered a blow.

However, when Tigger saw Michael, it regained some of its spirit and jumped around on him, curling into a ball that was soft to touch.

The butler came over to call her.

“The meal is ready. The Chairman asked you to come down to eat.

Nicole paused. “Did Clayton leave?“

“No, he's downstairs playing chess with the Chairman.“

'Wow, that was surprisingly harmonious.' Nicole thought.

It seemed to have gone a little smoother than she had imagined.

Her dad was still a deeply understanding dad after all. Nicole smiled and took Lil Michael downstairs.

With Lil Michael around, the meal was considered to be a happy one.

After the meal, Clayton left early.

Nicole and Lil Michael still did not want to leave, and Lil Michael insisted on pulling Floyd to the pond to see if the fish had grown fat.

Thus, the two took their fishing rods and went fishing.

Nicole took a nap and slept until late in the evening. When she looked at the time, it was almost 6:oo pm.

She took out her phone and found that Clayton had sent her a lot of messages.

[You guys haven't come back?]

[I left early so you would come back. I even deliberately left Lil Michael behind.]

[Lil Michael is so useless. I won't bring him along next time!]

[What do you want to eat for dinner?]

Clayton really did not tire of asking again and again.

Nicole's lips curled in a smile. Her mood seemed to be extraordinarily better.

She replied. [I'll go back in a while.]

Clayton replied in seconds. [Do you want me to pick you up?]

[No need!]

Clayton sent a smiley face.

Oh, it was an upside-down smiley face. Nicole was stunned and laughed helplessly.

Then, Clayton sent another message. [I contacted a school for Michael and will be accompanying him there tomorrow. Do you want to join us?]

Nicole typed. [Okay, I'll come along…]

'Poor Lil Michael. At this point, he doesn't know that he just lost his freedom! '

However, comparatively, the school chosen by Clayton must be very safe.

After eating dinner, Nicole and Lil Michael went back.

Clayton went back and was cooking a few dishes while wearing an apron.

Nicole felt very bad when she saw this. “I forgot to tell you that we already ate.“

Clayton smiled. “Then have a bowl of soup. Michael, go change your clothes and come out."

Lil Michael nodded and ran off to his room.

Nicole went in. The decor inside was simple and elegant, yet it gave people a warm and comfortable feeling. It really matched Clayton 's character. i Clayton brought a bowl of soup out for her and put it on the dining table.

“By the way, I haven't asked you yet. How did you know where Michael was today?"

Clayton seemed to ask casually. Nicole paused.

“Eric Ferguson told me." She did not hide it at all.

Clayton's brows tightened. His face turned cold and solemn.

“Mr. Ferguson? The man working for Isaac earlier said that it was Mr. Ferguson 's house…"

Read Chapter 1038 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Nicole knew what he meant. She sat down and smiled.

“I think that Eric only introduced my dad to Isaac. He probably doesn't know about Lil Michael's kidnapping.“

Clayton raised his brows. “Why do you say that?“

“Because there's no benefit for him, and he seldom does things that aren't self-serving. Taking Lil Michael away won't give him any benefits and will even tarnish his reputation and affect his company's stock price instead. Otherwise, he wouldn't have told me that location the day after Michael's incident.“

Clayton's eyes were deep as his lips curled.

“It seems that I have to thank Mr. Ferguson then.“

“That's not necessary. You found out by yourself even if he didn't say anything. Besides, he became Isaac's accomplice, so he's just trying to save himself. There's no need to thank him.“

Nicole spoke calmly.

Clayton suddenly smiled. His eyes were clear and bright.

“Mr. Ferguson purposely told you because he wanted you to thank him, but this is what you think instead. Are you trying to piss him off?“

Nicole looked at him in confusion. Was she mistaken?

Clayton laughed for a while before calming his emotions.

“Okay, I'll listen to you.“

Since Nicole wanted to piss Eric off, Clayton was even less burdened.

Eric's actions had been a wasted effort.

Nicole glared at him and lowered her head to taste a spoonful of soup.

It was delicious and savory.

However, she could not drink too much of it. There was too much purine in it, so she could not control herself.

Nicole put down the spoon in time and wiped her hands.

“I'm done eating. Say good night to Lil Michael for me. I'm going up to read some documents.“

Logan had sent all the documents to her email. She had to read them in advance tonight to come up with a charter for tomorrow's meeting.

Clayton nodded and sent her to the door, but he then grabbed her hand.

“Did you forget anything?“

Nicole looked back at him in surprise. Her phone was in her hand, and her bag was in her other hand.

She did not forget anything. Nicole shook her head blankly.

Clayton 's eyes were deep. He suddenly exerted a force in his hand to pull the woman into his arms. His low and husky voice rang out in her ear.

“You said good night to Michael. Why didn't you say it to me?“

There was a hint of jealousy.

His large hands encircled her waist. The feeling of fully holding her was quite wonderful.

He was a bit reluctant to let go.

Nicole was stunned for a few seconds. The man's warm and soothing scent was trance -inducing. Her heart jumped and she almost went into a daze.

Nicole stood there and felt her face grow hotter.

She met his eyes that were capable of seducing people.

Her heart seemed to quiver.

It itched like an electric shock. “Goodnight!“

Nicole finished quickly and turned around to run.

Clayton Sloan had great potential to be a seducer!

However, Clayton 's hands were firm and did not give her a chance to escape. There was a smile on his face as he looked at her meaningfully.

“That's it?“

He was not satisfied.

How did other couples say goodbye to each other? It seemed like it was necessary to give her some remedial lessons.

Nicole's ears began to burn. She did not dare to look directly into Clayton 's breathtaking eyes.

She quickly avoided his gaze. “What else do you want?"

There was panic in her tone. She was extremely embarrassed.

Clayton 's lips curled in a devilish smile, but his eyes were very gentle.

His lips got closer, inch by inch, until she could feel the warmth of his breath.

He was gentle and warm as he approached her.

Nicole immediately understood his intentions, and her face instantly flushed red.

Read Chapter 1039 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

However, Nicole was somehow drained of all her strength now. Her legs were weak, and she could barely stand as the man's arms supported her weight.

'I'm so pathetic!' Nicole secretly cursed herself.

Her heart was beating violently until Clayton 's warm lips gently pressed onto hers, then her heart seemed to stop.

She still remembered the fatal feeling when she kissed Clayton for the first time.

It was happening again.

His touch was gentle, and he gave her enough time to adapt.

After the gentle peck, his kiss gradually grew more aggressive as he engulfed her lips and tongue as if he wanted to devour every inch of her.

Nicole was in a trance as she was dominated by him. Her mind had gone blank, and even her bones were tingling inside.

Her whole world became the deadly feeling that Clayton brought to her. She tried to resist it, but she became addicted instead.

The two of them were immersed in their own little world when a sudden sharp cry sounded, breaking the dimensional wall of this world.

”Ah—”

Lil Michael came out after taking a shower and changing his clothes to see this scene. He could not accept it.

His eyes were filled with anger, disappointment, and bitter hatred for his father.

Nicole forcefully pushed Clayton away and saw Lil Michael standing not far away, glaring at them angrily.

She could not control her blush and racing heart at all. For a moment, she wanted to die from embarrassment.

Nicole bit her delicate red lips, glared at the man who started this mess, and turned to run back to her apartment.

This time, Clayton did not manage to pull her back.

He chuckled and stroked his lips. His eyes were as warm as a hot spring.

'Why does Little Miss Stanton blush so easily? It seems like I have to make her get used to it soon.'

Clayton collected his mood, turned around, and looked at Lil Michael.

“Stop screaming!“ He rebuked.

Lil Michael immediately stopped screaming. The boy was shaking with anger.

Clayton walked to the table and continued eating as if nothing had happened.

He did not care about his son's mood and his little heart that shattered.

Lil Michael stomped his short legs and climbed up on the chair next to the table.

He glared at Clayton angrily.

“Were you kissing her just now? How dare you kiss her?!“

'I'm the one who's going to marry Pretty Lady! Why did Daddy kiss her first?!'

Lil Michael was really furious.

Clayton raised his eyes and looked at Lil Michael. “Yeah, We're dating, so of course, I can kiss her!“

Lil Michael's round eyes had shock written all over them.

“What?!“

His surprise was unconcealed.

“How can you two be dating? How could she like you?!“

Clayton 's expression sank for an instant. Did he have to be so demeaning to his father?

“It's not surprising that she took a fancy to me.

After all, I'm so exceptional. Weren't there plenty of women who wanted to be your stepmother before?“

“How can Pretty Lady compare to those women?!“ Lil Michael really could not accept this shocking fact.

'Aren't I the one Pretty Lady likes the most? Why did she like Daddy instead?'

Clayton 's lips curled into a smile as he looked at his son.

“Anyway, this is the truth, so you have to accept it soon. You'd better change the way you address her. What should you call her…?"

Clayton 's words made Lil Michael's world collapse, but Clayton acted as if nothing was wrong.

“Pretty Aunty, then? She might become your mommy in the future, so you have to be mentally prepared…"

Lil Michael's tiny face went white. ‘Oh, no! I can't accept this!'

His round eyes began to overflow with tears.

“She's mine! I'm gonna marry her when I grow up. I liked her first. She said that she likes me the most. She said that she would wait for me to grow up!"

Lil Michael was miserable. He sat there, crying and wiping his tears.

He tried to act pitiful so that Clayton would give in to him.

“Daddy, you're already so old. Just find another lady. I promise that I won't bully her, so give Pretty Lady back to me!“

Even Lil Michael knew what thoughts the women had when they fluttered around Clayton.

Thus, he came up with all kinds of tricks to get rid of them.

Now that Lil Michael thought about it, he regretted it.

Clayton saw through his motive at a glance and laughed.

“She's just coaxing you and playing with you. Why did you take it so seriously? I don't like other ladies. I only like her! You don't have to think of ways to get my inheritance anymore. In the future, all my money will be hers to spend!“

Lil Michael's cries got even louder and sadder. He was in despair.

Clayton very calmly finished the meal in front of his crying son. Lil Michael did not seem to have any intention to stop even after Clayton finished cleaning up, so Clayton simply went to the bathroom to take a shower and get ready for bed.

Lil Michael swung his short legs to Clayton's room, sat on his bed, and wailed.

Clayton felt a little overwhelmed when he came out.

He looked up. Fortunately, the soundproofing in this apartment was good. What would he do if he disturbed Nicole's sleep?

Clayton laid on the bed to sleep, and Lil Michael whined for a while before he got tired from crying and fell asleep as well.

Early the next day.

Clayton took Lil Michael to the bathroom to wash up and personally picked clothes for him to wear.

Lil Michael was moved back and forth in a daze. When he remembered yesterday's nightmare, his eyes reddened, and he put on a brave face.

“I won't forgive you unless you break up with her!“ Clayton's hand paused.

“If she's with me, you can see her often, but if she's with others, you won't be able to see her even if you wanted to. Didn't I tell you this before? We have to keep someone as good as her close…“

Lil Michael refused to accept it and did not want to listen to that nagging.

Clayton was helpless and did not intend to continue this topic.

Lil Michael had to accept it whether he liked it or not. “I found a school for you. It's one grade higher than your current syllabus, but I believe it won't be a problem for you. Oh, it's also a boarding school!“

Clayton had a hard time finding a boarding school.

In the future, Nicole and Clayton would be free to date with no one to disturb them. i Lil Michael looked at him in shock. His aggrieved look was full of despair.

“I don't wanna!“

The difficulty in his syllabus in Mediania was like jumping three grades in a row. If he had to go to a school that was one grade higher than his previous course, he would become the youngest student in the class, and he would get bullied!

'Does Daddy think that I don't know why he's sending me to boarding school? Daddy is such a sleaze! I went through great pains to be with Pretty Lady! '

Clayton looked at him warningly.

“You don't have a choice. I'll have your bodyguard report to your school's security team, and Susan will cook in the cafeteria. Just have a good time with them in the future!“

Clayton had carefully arranged everything. Lil Michael was speechless.

After breakfast, Clayton led the reluctant Lil Michael out the door.

Nicole was waiting downstairs.

When she saw them come downstairs, Clayton's expression was like the spring breeze, while Lil Michael pulled a long face.

The contrast was too strong. Nicole waved at them.

Clayton smiled, walked over, and spoke in a low voice to Lil Michael.

“Smile. If you make her unhappy, you'll stay in school for the rest of your life!"

Lil Michael was speechless.

He could not even express the bitterness in his heart.
