Yvette actually never intended to marry Sean.

Sean did not care about marriage. Otherwise, he would not trade his marriage for Yvette, but he knew that Yvette cared.

Thus, he got a divorce.

When he heard Yvette say that she did not want to get married because she was afraid of shame, what else could he do?

Yvette bowed her head and laughed, then looked up at him warmly with a hint of lingering affection in her eyes.

She stretched out her slender arms and wrapped them around the man's neck. Her devilish gaze hooked his soul.

Her tender, stunning face was pressed against his chest.

Her soft words and her laughter were compelling to his ear.

“I know that you've done all that you can, and I will always remember everything you did for me. Even if we get married, we can still get divorced. We can just be together forever like this…“

Sean felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Obviously, the woman's every move made him fall so deeply in love that he could not extricate himself.

However, every word she said was suffocating.

Everyone wanted a title, but she did not.

Sean knew that his deception had hurt her badly back then.

He reached out and pulled the woman off of his body. He scrutinized every inch of her face with a deadly gaze.

“Yvette, you know that I 'll have to get married one day.“

Perhaps one day, he would envy other people's families with children.

However, he did not say the words that followed because when he saw her increasingly cold gaze, he suddenly could not bring himself to say a word.

The panic he felt in his chest was so overwhelming.

Yvette decisively let go of his arm and coldly wrapped her hands around her body.

Her red lips were delicate. Her eyes were bright but ruthless as she hooked the corners of her lips into a cold smile.

“Good riddance. I won't cling to you. When you want to get married, feel free to do so. We'll just get the hell out of each other's life!“

At that time, Yvette must have exhausted all her passion and fondness.

Sending him away was also a relief.

Sean's face changed viciously. His expression was complicated and stiff.

Since they got back together, Sean thought that the naive, lively, and passionate Yvette who loved him to death would come back to him, but that was not the case.

The Yvette in front of him was very strange.

Yvette still loved him, but there was no light in her eyes. She no longer pried into his personal life and friends, and she no longer anticipated his gifts and appearances.

When she looked at him, her eyes even carried a trace of coldness and detachment, but in the blink of an eye, she was just as she was before, like an annoying seductress.

When they were together, she was passionate in bed, but out of bed, Yvette would be indifferent to him. It was as if it was unbearable for her to stay a moment longer.

Occasionally, when she was in a good mood, she would coax him, and he would be surprised.

Sean could not tell if the person in front of him was really Yvette.

His gaze was obscure and complicated, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.

“You don't want to marry me because of your marriage alliance with the Sheldon family? If it was Lance Sheldon, you would 've married him, right?“

Sean knew the answer, but he still had to ask for clarification.

He was only torturing himself.

Yvette laughed with a hint of coldness.

“You already know the answer, yet you're still asking. It's not because of the Sheldon family. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't reject marriage. I'll marry anyone but you!"

Her words were like a knife that stabbed his heart little by little.

“You seduced me first. When we're together, we'll be called the “cheating couple". Cheaters should never end well, so let's just get along as we see fit. Don't spoil something as sacred as marriage."

After that, Yvette smiled, turned around, and walked past him to go out.

At this moment, Yvette did not want to say another word.

Since Sean wanted marriage, then he could look for someone else.

Yvette would never marry him.

She loved him, but she also hated him. They would not have any results.

To be able to give up everything to reconnect with him was already her limit.

A full minute passed.

Yvette lazily sat on the sofa to watch TV, but she did not register anything that she watched.

Her heart was in turmoil, but she remained calm and self-possessed.

The next second, Sean 's body exuded a hostile chill as he strode past in front of Yvette and left.

The sound of the door slamming shut was very loud.

Yvette did not care, but her heart was like a boulder that fell to the bottom of the sea without ripples.

A few minutes later, Sean restrained his complex emotions, re-opened the door to come back in.

Without talking to her, Sean went straight to the bedroom to sleep.

Yvette blinked and snorted coldly.

Then, she lowered her gaze and pursed her lips.

She knew very well that they could not go back to the past.

Sean's future marriage partner would never be her either.

Yvette slowly exhaled and hooked her lips. 'Forget it, since he came back, I 'll just compromise and coax him first.'

She then turned off the TV and walked into the bedroom.

Yvette walked over slowly and looked at the man that was lying on his side in bed, pretending to sleep. She began to undress.

She would make it up to him in her own way. The night was dark.

The various comments online were overwhelming. Kai and Julie's matter was brought up repeatedly.

Finally, when things were gradually stabilizing, Dominic put tremendous pressure on Kai to make a statement in front of the public.

Kai originally did not want his relationship to be talked about in front of everyone, especially since Julie had been subjected to cyberbullying.

It would not do her much good.

However, Julie did not seem to care. After getting Julie's consent, Kai finally agreed to Dominic's request.

Kai chose a very direct way to do this.

He posted a photo of the two of them wearing the couple ring with the caption, “My fiancée. I love her very much. Please love and care for her as you do for me.“

Kai tied Julie to himself and was prepared to share the honor and shame.

Dominic was prepared for this and made a big deal about the twisted and precious love between the two in the media.

For a while, many netizens resonated with them, and they also received others' blessings.

Those who questioned the hype gradually faded away.

[My classmate just spilled the tea! Julie Nixon was dating Kai back in university. After experiencing so much, they can still end up together. Excellent people always attract each other…]

[Julie Nixon and Kai are like a couple in a TV series! I now believe in love again!]

[They're really meant to be! They end up together after so many twists and turns. I heard that Julie Nixon is Nicole's BFF. Her BFF and her brother are together now. I really want to be Nicole's BFF!]

[As Kai's old fan, I just want to say, “As long as you're happy, Kai! “]

[I hope that Julie quickly comes out from the past trauma. That psychopath Roman will be sentenced soon. Such a scumbag should just go to hell!]

[You'll know that Julie isn't that kind of person when you see Nicole's attitude. Otherwise, why would Nicole give up everything to protect Julie?]

Julie was busy in the office all day.

She agreed for Kai to respond publicly, but she did not have the courage to read the online comments herself.

The sky was getting dark.

Julie left the office and walked to the lobby.

She saw a flashy sports car parked at the entrance with a tall and handsome man standing in front of the car. He was standing tall and had such stunning features. The evening sun shrouded his body.

Every single frame was like a refined picture.

When Kai saw Julie, he smiled widely and waved at her.

“I came to pick you up from work!" He yelled as if he was afraid that others could not hear him.

Read Chapter 1063 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Julie froze. The gloominess over her heart suddenly dissipated.

Kai was so brazen, so why should she cower at every turn?

Julie lowered her head and laughed at herself for worrying about nothing.

Nicole told her not to worry, but Julie did not understand until this moment that all the obstacles she thought about were just her overthinking the situation.

The sky was dark without a single star.

Ian begged Nicole several times before she agreed to attend a private party.

Thus, Nicole could only put off the dinner date she originally had with Clayton and got changed into a simple dress before she left.

The light and shadows were whirling around, and the lights were flashing.

Ian waited at the door and was freezing to death while waiting for Nicole, who arrived late.

He walked over with a sigh and opened the door for her.

“Milady, you're a full twenty minutes late!“ Nicole glanced at him lightly and retorted with a straight face, “Which lady doesn't arrive fashionably late?“

Ian was speechless.

If other women dared to make him wait for more than five minutes, he would never meet her again.

However, Nicole was an exception. Ian gave in to her since they were young.

“What kind of party is this?“

If it was a business party, Nicole would not be unaware of it.

Ian replied, “Lance's birthday. He has no acquaintances in West City, and I just met him a few days ago, so I came to join the fun.“

Nicole stopped in her tracks as her expression

changed.

“Why didn't you say so earlier?!“

“Why are you reacting like that?“ Ian was surprised and continued, “Our Little Miss @uimbey isn't even present for her fiancé's birthday party. If we don't show up, that'll just be disrespectful to the Sheldons!“

Nicole paused and instantly had mixed feelings. She really wanted to turn around and leave. 'Ian Carter is such a fool! How could he not understand what it meant if Yvette didn't attend her fiancé 's birthday party?!'

Nicole cursed him a million times in her heart. She then saw Lance coming out as he talked and laughed with someone.

When Lance saw Nicole, he froze slightly and walked over with a smile.

“Ms. Stanton, thank you for coming over. I only have this honor because of Mr. Carter.“

Nicole immediately regained her composure and politely joked with him.

“I came all the way here to wish you a happy birthday, Mr. Sheldon. Don't give credit to Mr. Carter.“

Ian laughed. “Right, we're all friends, so don't be polite, Mr. Sheldon.“

Lance was mature and steady when he was networking. He immediately invited them in.

Many of the guests were people in the circle, so there were many familiar faces.

Ian sighed. “Lance really has a hand in this. He's only been in West City for such a short time, but the people in the circle are already praising him.“

Nicole rolled her eyes at him. “Let's just sit and leave in a while. Don't mingle around too much.“

She was afraid that they would mention Yvette and it would be awkward.

“What's the hurry? Is Clayton checking up on you? You gotta stand firm in your position!“

Ian was disappointed that Nicole was spineless. Nicole was speechless as she resisted an impulse to curse at Ian.

“Nicole…“ A mellow and deep voice came from behind that gave her a familiar complex feeling. It was Eric Ferguson.

Nicole turned her head to the side and saw him standing there, looking at her with a cold and deep gaze.

Eric's look was deep and restrained.

Ian also saw Eric and raised an eyebrow.

“What a coincidence! Mr. Ferguson is also here?" Lance was quite respectable!

Eric's eyes were fixed on Nicole's body.

He walked over and forced a smile. There were many words he wanted to say to her, but he did not know where to start.

Eric knew of Nicole's every move.

However, the more he knew, the harder it was for him because every minute that Clayton was with her, Eric got so jealous that he almost went berserk.

Eric tried hard to forget Nicole but to no avail.

The more he tried to forget her, the more he remembered her.

Read Chapter 1064 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

The possessiveness in Eric's bones was surging the whole time.

When Eric heard that Ian would invite Nicole, Eric came to try his luck.

Unexpectedly, Nicole was really standing in front of him.

“I was on a business trip abroad some time ago and asked someone to bring you a gift. Why didn't you accept it?“

Eric suppressed his overwhelming emotions.

He had carefully selected those gifts according to Nicole's favorite style.

How could she not like them?

Nicole forced a smile and said in a polite and cold voice, “How can I just accept gifts from you for no reason? It's not appropriate.“

One sentence put a clear boundary between them.

Eric's expression changed a few times. His eyes sank slightly.

“Was Clayton's son rescued?“

Nicole nodded. “Fortunately, he's okay.“

Eric noticed that Nicole did not have a hint of gratitude. Perhaps she was suspecting that Eric and Isaac Sloan had a private deal.

Eric's face sank even more.

“The Sloan family's background is complicated. Don't take it too lightly.“

Nicole smiled. “Thanks for the reminder.“

Eric felt short of breath for a moment when suddenly, a not very familiar person trotted over next to him.

“Mr. Ferguson? It's been a long time! Isn't this Mrs. Ferguson? Did you come here together to attend Mr. Sheldon 's party?“

That person used to work in Atlanta, but the competition was fierce here, so he left defeated and followed a rich woman abroad.

He had some dealings with Eric back then, so naturally, he had seen this Mrs. Ferguson who was not favored by Eric.

Nicole frowned slightly as she looked at this stranger with an unexpected expression.

Eric frowned and looked at this person who appeared out of nowhere.

“You are…“

“Mr. Ferguson, we met three years ago. At that time, I went to your office to submit the project proposal and was waiting for you in the lounge. Mrs. Ferguson was also waiting there, so we talked for a bit. Later, you personally came over to get me to leave the project proposal with you. Do you still remember?“

At that time, that man wondered why Eric's wife would wait in line to see Eric.

Thus, the man had a deep impression of Nicole. He even wanted her to help put in a few good words to Eric, but later, the project proposal was rejected.

That was when he knew that Mrs. Ferguson was not very useful.

Eric obviously did not expect this. His face was profound, and there was no trace of surprise or panic on his face.

His expression only changed when he heard that Nicole was also waiting for him in the lounge.

There would be no more of that kind of scenario in the future.

When Nicole heard the man mention this, she did remember that there was such an incident.

Back then, that man knew that she was Mrs. Ferguson and tried hard to flatter her, trying to get her to say a few good words for himself.

Nicole only smiled awkwardly because her status was not even as good as the employees in Eric's company. Thus, there was nothing she could do.

She did not even want to think about those humble days.

This made her want to leave even more.

The man looked at the two stunning people standing together and flattered them.

“Mrs. Ferguson and Mr. Ferguson are really a great match who love each other dearly. I think that you're simply a model couple!“

Ian was stifling a laugh on the side. He did not want to say anything.

Nicole's face was glum. Just as she was about to open her mouth to explain their current relationship, she suddenly heard a warm and deep voice coming from behind. “I'm afraid that you've mistaken her identity. She's not Mrs. Ferguson."

Nicole was startled.

Clayton had already walked over and smoothly pulled her away from Ian 's hand and held her waist. He was claiming sovereignty.

Everything was so natural.

Eric was originally in a good mood, but once Clayton appeared, Eric's eyes instantly turned dark and cold.

Read Chapter 1065 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

A chill shrouded Eric's body.

Eric's gaze was cold and deadly as he stared at Clayton 's hand that was holding Nicole's thin waist.

Eric really wanted to chop Clayton to pieces. The person opposite spoke in surprise.

“She's not Mrs. Ferguson? I… I'm not mistaken,

right?“

He looked at Nicole again.

Although Nicole's temperament had become a bit cooler, her looks were still so stunning that it left a deep impression on others.

How could he have recognized the wrong person?

Clayton smiled. He was gentle and modest, but with a vague coldness in his tone.

“This is my girlfriend. She has nothing to do with Mr. Ferguson.“

Clayton looked at Eric, hooked his lips, and slowly took Nicole's hand as he smiled.

“Your good friend is here. Do you want to go over and say hello?“

Nicole froze, so Clayton lifted his chin.

Following his direction, Nicole saw Livia, who was waving at Nicole.

Nicole smiled and could not wait to leave this awkward situation immediately. “Sure, let 's go over.“

Nicole looked at Eric and nodded, then left with Clayton.

Ian clicked his tongue and did not expect their relationship to progress at such a divine pace.

When they first started dating, their auras clearly did not fit well together.

The man that was left behind looked at Nicole's departing back. Did he really recognize the wrong person?

He suddenly looked a little embarrassed.

“Mr. Ferguson, did I recognize the wrong person?“

Eric's face was gloomy, and his eyes were cold as he suppressed his inner rage. He spoke coldly.

“You're right. She's Mrs. Ferguson.“

After saying that, Eric turned around and left. There was no point in staying here anymore.

'Clayton dared to go against me so blatantly. Does he really think that I won't dare to touch him? It seems that it's about time…'

The man stood there in confusion. ' I'm right? Mrs. Ferguson became someone else's girlfriend? What did I just hear?'

Nicole looked sideways at Clayton, who was gentle and calm with a polite smile at the corners of his lips.

Somehow, Nicole felt a little guilty.

After all, Nicole had rejected his dinner date, only to run into him again here.

'It's all because of that damned Ian!'

Nicole pursed her lips and cleared her throat. “Uh… What a coincidence, huh?“

Clayton paused for a moment. He looked at her and curled up the corners of his lips slightly.

“So, now you want to say hello to me?“ Nicole was speechless.

Clayton let out a deep laugh from his chest and said in a solemn tone, “Ms. Stanton, I hope that you'll

give me a reasonable explanation.“

Nicole paused and lowered her voice. “Ian insisted that I come over, and I didn't expect to meet Eric here…“

Clayton glanced at her and did not make a sound. They arrived in front of Livia.

Livia looked like she was in good shape. Her face was glowing and cheerful, and her movements were more confident.

Her law firm was doing very well, and every half a month, she would turn in a detailed report to Nicole.

Not even once did Livia fall behind.

Having participated in several variety shows, Livia now had quite a few fans. She even became a regular guest because of her outstanding performance and high intelligence.

It was all thanks to Nicole's help that Livia got to where she was today.

“Nicole, Mr. Sloan, what a coincidence indeed! "

Clayton nodded gently and let go of Nicole's hand. He had the good sense to leave enough private space for the ladies.

“You ladies can chat. I'll go over and say hello to an old friend."

Nicole nodded. Clayton held her hand and looked at her with a deep gaze.

“I'll come and pick you up later, then we'll go back together?"

Although it was a question, his eyes had a hidden meaning.

Nicole had to agree even if she did not want to.

She nodded her head since she did not want to go back with that idiot Ian!

Gradually, Nicole felt that her breathing was starting to get difficult.

Only then did Clayton slowly let go of Nicole's lips. He lowered his gaze to look at her.

Nicole was blushing and panting slightly. Her eyes were glittering with a watery clarity. Her lips were as bright and red as if she had smeared lip gloss on them.

Clayton 's dark eyes were fixed on Nicole's face. He unconsciously reached out to touch her lips.

He almost lost control.

His gaze was forbearing and restrained, and his voice was hoarse and deep.

“I like it most when you coax me like this. Remember that in the future.“

Nicole's face instantly heated up. 'He really doesn't reel it in at all…'

She gritted her teeth, fiercely pushed him away, turned around, ran in, and closed the door in one fluid motion.

Clayton had a bright smile on his face. 'She's shy…'

The next day, Nicole woke up when the sun had fully risen.

She saw that she had several missed calls from Logan and other unfamiliar numbers.

Nicole muted her phone, so she did not hear the calls. She called back.

Logan picked up and said, “President, just now, the school contacted me by phone saying that Lil Michael's teacher asked you to go over.“

As Nicole's assistant, Logan would not be surprised no matter what Nicole had, but this matter really shocked him to the core.

It was true that Nicole and Clayton were dating, but how did Lil Michael's teacher go straight to Nicole?

Why didn't they contact Clayton? Logan did not understand.

Nicole paused for a moment. She was also surprised.

Nicole hung up the phone and called Clayton, but he did not answer.

The next second, she received a text message from him with an explanation. (I'm in a meeting now.

Something wrong?]

It seemed that the meeting was very important. Otherwise, Clayton would answer her calls.

Nicole paused and replied. (Nope.]

She had long regarded Lil Michael as family, so she thought that it was better to go to school first.

When Nicole arrived at the school, the teacher politely welcomed her inside.

The teachers in this international school were highly paid professors from famous schools abroad, so they were not sensitive to Nicole's identity.

Lil Michael flung his short legs as he sat on a chair. When he saw her coming in, he ran over happily.

“Pretty Lady, I miss you so much…“

Nicole squatted down and gave him a bear hug. “I miss you too!“

The teacher saw such a cozy scene and smiled decently.

“Please have a seat.“

Nicole took Lil Michael's hand and sat on the chair.

She said, “Lil Michael just transferred here. He may be a little uncomfortable, but he's smart, lively, and good at expressing himself. He's never been one to conform.“

The teacher froze and nodded in agreement. 'Yes, he's too lively…'

Nicole smiled and stroked Lil Michael's head.

“Oh, right. What did you ask me to come over for?“ The teacher paused and almost forgot the main purpose.

“You're Michael's sister?“ Nicole nodded. 'Sort of…'

The teacher nodded. Although it looked like there was a big age gap, it was not unusual for families who could afford to go to a school like this to have such siblings in their family.

It was common in foreign countries.

“Your brother Michael had a conflict with a classmate. The girl has cried several times. To avoid leaving a traumatic experience for her, I would like to ask the parents of both sides to negotiate how to resolve this.”

Nicole paused. 'How is this a negotiation? They clearly just want Lil Michael to apologize! '

She looked at Lil Michael, but the boy looked indifferent.

“I didn't do anything wrong, Pretty Lady…”

Nicole paused. She knew not to jump to conclusions.

“Then, can we invite the girl's parents to come over to meet and analyze what happened together? If Michael did something wrong, we'll naturally solve it accordingly.”

Read Chapter 1068 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Nicole did not believe that Michael had done something wrong just because of a few words from the teacher.

That was because she knew how sensible Michael was.

The teacher nodded and looked at her phone. “Please wait a moment. The girl's father just arrived at the entrance. I'll go and get him."

Nicole nodded her head.

As soon as the teacher left, Nicole was hesitating whether to tell Clayton about it.

Lil Michael took her hand and spoke as if he could see her hesitation.

He persuaded her. “It's such a small matter. I believe that you can solve it, so don't tell my daddy. We have to be mature people!"

Nicole was speechless and curled her lips.

Since Lil Michael already said so, what else could she say?

'Alright then…' Not long after.

The teacher came in with a female student and her father.

The female student had a round chubby face that looked very lovable.

The father behind her looked to be in his fifties, but he was well-maintained and looked elegant. At this time, his face was not very pleased because his daughter was aggrieved.

“This is Michael's sister, and this is Pearl's father.“ The teacher introduced them to each other.

Nicole nodded in greeting, but Pearl's father looked away and snorted coldly.

The teacher smiled awkwardly.

“How about this, we'll get the children to tell us what's going on in front of both guardians?“

The teacher glanced at Pearl and Michael.

Pearl glanced at Michael aggrievedly. Her eyes were red.

Her father encouraged her. “Speak boldly, no one can bully you with Dad around!“

Pearl sobbed. She looked at the beautiful Nicole and spoke hesitantly.

“I can't do the questions on the test, so I asked Michael for help, but Michael told me to go back to kindergarten!“

Lil Michael grunted. “That is a kindergarten topic!“

Pearl's father said,“ Hmph! How could you insult someone like that?“

Nicole paused.

She pursed her lips and explained, “Michael went to school abroad and skipped several grades, so he did indeed learn some of these topics in kindergarten.“ Pearl's father's eyes widened in anger.

Pearl sobbed and continued to speak. “I didn't do well on the test. Everyone is comforting me, but only he's happy. Why does he hate me?“

Lil Michael said, “I got good grades and came in first, so can't I be happy?“

Nicole had a headache.

However, she soon nodded. “Of course, you can!“ The teacher and Pearl's father were speechless.

Pearl cried even more.

She could not be coaxed and even rambled a lot about Lil Michael.

What seemed normal to Lil Michael had hurt Pearl's fragile self-esteem.

Pearl's father was distraught and glared at Nicole with piercing eyes.

Nicole just ignored it.

She did not feel that Lil Michael had done anything wrong.

It was Pearl who thought too much!

The teacher saw that the situation was getting out of control and hastened to talk separately with the two families.

Nicole's attitude was clear. “Michael's emotional intelligence is low, but he did nothing wrong. An accurate establishment of values can't be dealt with through compromise."

The teacher helplessly went to Pearl's father.

In less than five minutes, the teacher's face changed dramatically as she rushed out. “Miss, Pearl's father had a heart attack!"

'He had a heart attack because of what the lady said?' The teacher never dreamed that this scenario would happen.

Seeing that Nicole had no room for maneuver, the teacher went to great lengths to contact Michael's father, Clayton Sloan.

It took several dozen phone calls before Clayton answered the phone.

“Excuse me, you are…?"

Clayton 's voice was warm but also tinged with impatience.

“Mr. Sloan, your daughter and son made another parent so angry that he had a heart attack, so hurry over!"

Read Chapter 1069 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Clayton stiffened slightly. He thought he had misheard.

'My daughter? Where did I get a daughter from?'

Just as Clayton was about to ask what was going on, he suddenly had an epiphany.

He remembered that Lil Michael always called Nicole “Pretty Lady“ and treated her like his elder sister, so there was no generation gap between them.

Moreover, with Nicole's beautiful and young face, anyone would believe that she was Michael's sister.

Clayton hung up the phone and sighed when he saw the amount of missed calls he had.

He calmly apologized in fluent French and ended the meeting early.

During his drive to the school, he was already mentally prepared.

He thought about how to explain this matter to the teacher and wondered how Nicole got to the school.

Less than twenty minutes later.

As soon as Clayton entered the appointed office, he found that the atmosphere inside was not quite right.

A little girl was sobbing in her father's arms. She looked so pitiful and cute.

Nicole was sitting across the table with an innocent face, somewhat at a loss for words.

Lil Michael looked indifferent. Anyway, that girl crying had nothing to do with him, so he did not care.

“Michael's father is here?“

The teacher saw the man at the door and hurriedly got up to greet him.

Clayton walked in with a gentle smile. “Sorry for the trouble.“

Anyway, Clayton was already familiar with such a scene where Michael's teachers were looking for him.

His eyes swept across to Nicole, who raised her eyebrows and averted her gaze somewhat sheepishly.

Lil Michael just hid behind Nicole.

'Huh, now he's afraid?' Clayton thought.

The teacher told Clayton about what happened once again very euphemistically.

Although Lil Michael did not seem to have done anything wrong, and there was nothing worthy of criticism, the boy was too insensitive when he interacted with his classmate.

Michael's IQ could crush everyone, but his emotional intelligence was just too low.

Moreover, Nicole only distinguished right and wrong. She was biased toward Lil Michael and stood on his side.

Clayton listened, smiled, and apologized to them in a humble tone.

The teacher also acted as a mediator on the side. The attitude of the girl's father gradually improved.

Pearl's father could see that Clayton was dressed decently, well mannered, and talked like no ordinary person. Since Clayton could bow his head and apologize, Pearl's father could not pick a fight.

After all, Pearl's father's anger dissipated because of Nicole's indifferent attitude.

This woman's aura was a little scary.

With Clayton 's good attitude, there was no reason to get hung up on this issue.

“In fact, I know that the children are just playing around. This matter will pass. It's just that my daughter is a little mentally fragile, but she doesn't hold a grudge…“

Clayton smiled and nodded. He squatted down and reached out to touch the little girl's head.

“I'm sorry. I'll get Michael to apologize to you.“

This was the first time the little girl had seen such a good-looking man.

She stared longingly at Clayton.

Clayton turned around and waved toward Lil Michael.

Lil Michael did not dare to pretend that he could not see it, so he had no choice but to walk over obediently.

Clayton 's voice was warm. His gaze was dark but unquestionable as he looked at Lil Michael.

“Apologize.“

Lil Michael pursed his lips. He pondered for a moment to weigh the pros and cons. 'Daddy isn't as easy to fool as Pretty Lady. I can't get myself into more trouble.'

“I'm sorry."

Michael spoke frankly. “It's okay."

The girl blinked and smiled, but she was looking at Clayton the whole time.

Once the matter was resolved perfectly, Lil Michael continued to go back to class.

Clayton and Nicole went out one after the other.

The teacher looked at the two people with great satisfaction.

“Goodbye, Mr. Sloan! Goodbye, Ms. Sloan!"

Read Chapter 1070 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Nicole froze.

Clayton 's back faintly stiffened. He also heard it.

He suddenly turned around and took Nicole's hand to walk forward with their fingers interlocked.

'Haha! Ms. Sloan?! ' Clayton thought.

The teacher looked at them and was a little confused by that action. 'Why do they look more and more like a couple? When they were inside, Michael's sister didn't call him Dad the whole time either…'

Nicole pursed her lips. Her hand was tightly clutched by Clayton.

She looked a little embarrassed and hastily changed the subject.

“I thought I could solve it myself. I didn't think that you'd still have to come.“

The corners of Clayton 's mouth held a light smile. His gaze was warm and soft.

“I'm used to this kind of thing. Michael just hasn't gotten used to this place yet, but he's always had a strong ability to adapt, so he'll be fine soon.“

Nicole nodded her head. “Did it delay your meeting?“

Clayton squeezed her hand. His gaze drifted to her face.

“I think it delayed your time more, right? In the future, just leave such matters to me. I'm very experienced in handling them.“

Nicole blushed for a moment and restrained her emotions.

“Well, probably because he couldn't get through to you. That's why he contacted me.“

Clayton paused slightly and narrowed his eyes.

“What?“

A rage inexplicably rose in his heart.

'Couldn't get through? Of all the missed calls I had, none of them were from the school or Lil Michael. It looks like Lil Michael did it on purpose! '

Nicole blinked in confusion and instantly tried to redeem the situation for Lil Michael.

“It's also possible that he forgot your number…“

Nicole felt like biting off her own tongue. She also felt heartbroken for Lil Michael.

Clayton let out a cold laugh and shook his head.

Just when Nicole thought that Clayton was going to get angry, he smiled gently and squeezed her hand.

“I'll make sure he never forgets it. Let's go have lunch?“

Nicole nodded.

The two of them ate a simple meal near Nicole's office before Clayton hurriedly went back to continue to deal with the morning meeting.

A few days later.

A private dinner invitation was delivered to Nicole's desk.

Logan said, “I heard that a foreign investor was also invited to this dinner. They didn't specify who it was, but it seems like the investor has something to do with Mr. Sloan.“

Nicole frowned. “Clayton?“

Logan nodded. “They're tight-lipped about it saying that it's a surprise to be revealed at the dinner.

Would you like to go?“

Nicole smiled. “Of course, I want to go. They probably want me there.“

Otherwise, if they were so tight —lipped, how could they reveal that it has to do with Clayton?

Logan nodded. “I'll have someone prepare clothes and jewelry for you.“

“Don't bother, just keep it simple.“

Nicole thought to herself, 'I'm not the main character anyway, and I'm not in the mood to do anything.'

Logan nodded and turned around to leave. Nicole thought about it and sent a message to Clayton. (Are you going to the banquet at Champs de Mars tonight?]

Clayton called back in seconds. “Yeah, but you have to take me in. Someone wants to pull me down as soon as they come.“

Nicole laughed.

After they said a few more words, they hung up the phone.

Nicole could hear that although Clayton 's voice sounded calm and gentle, which was no different from usual, there was something wrong with his emotions.

The streetlights were coming on at this time of the day.

Nicole wore a small black dress and high heels. This outfit was simple and elegant, but when she wore it, it gave off an exclusiveness.

Her bright features were captivating.

Once she got downstairs, she saw Clayton 's car waiting there.

Clayton rolled down the car window and waved at her.
