Ch. 1971..1980

Chapter 1971

Quinn and Ingrid, Mitchell is also a black line.

"The information we found earlier was consistent with the information given by the General Manager of Sloan, and they were all in the hands of Falcon.

But the day before Falcon returned to South Africa, the two suddenly disappeared.

They also searched everywhere, but they didn't find.

Presumably…they escaped on their own?"

That was the best outcome.

Without falling into anyone's hands, he ran away.

Eric's face was cold and his eyes were dark: "If they ran away, why wouldn't they contact us? How far can they run?"

Even if Ingrid had no brains, Quinn should understand that only Eric could protect them. But to this day, no one has contacted him.

Their people did not find out the whereabouts of Quinn and Ingrid. This is a little strange.

Mitchell was also silent.

"Wouldn't it be that Liliana knew something? Let's do it first?"

Eric's face was cold for a moment, his eyes were trying his best to suppress the surging fierceness.

"It shouldn't be. I've been with him this time, and I know him a little bit. He works hard, but he doesn't have the kind of brain to take one step and see three steps."

Eric's brows indifferently crossed a bit of anger, and he gritted his teeth.

Mitchell was silent and then said, "Mr. Ferguson, Mr. Sloan has a lot of resources and connections in South Africa. Why don't we ask him to help him to find out?

Looking at Eric's gloomy face, Mitchell knew that he had said too much.

Why did Eric ask Clayton? It was worse than killing him.

Sure enough, his cold eyes swept over Mitchell, without saying a word.

In the Afternoon.

Stanton Corporation.

Eric's arrival in person naturally caused quite a stir. He didn't say hello to the other party's assistant beforehand.

After all, a person of Eric's status does not need an appointment to meet.

The lady at the front desk looked at him embarrassedly: "Mr. Ferguson, may I ask, who would you like to see Mr. Stanton?"

After all, there are many high-level people with the surname Stanton.

The front desk lady didn't know if it was intentional or not, but Eric's face turned gloomy.

After a long time, only then did he speak: "Grant."

The lady at the front desk responded and called upstairs.

After a while, she hang up.

"Mr. Ferguson, please go to the reception room upstairs and wait for a while. Our video conference with Mr. Stanton will end in five minutes."

Eric didn't say more, just lifted his feet and left, with a chilling aura.

The assistant in the reception room didn't dare to neglect, and waited with a cup of coffee. Who made Eric come so unexpectedly?

After Grant came out of the meeting, the assistant quickly greeted him. "Eric's still waiting?"

The assistant glanced at the time, "Yes, Mr. Ferguson is in the reception room."

Someone had told Grant long ago, so he naturally knew it.

Grant tidied up his clothes and walked in directly.

"Mr. Ferguson, it's been so long since I returned to Liberty, are you planning not to leave?"

Eric sat there, his stern eyebrows raised slightly, his expression remained the same, and his voice was very light: "Let's go when things are done, Mr. Stanton, long time no see That's it."

Grant and Eric have the same aura, and the two people's methods in the shopping mall are also very similar.

"I just saw Mr. Ferguson on the day he returned to Liberty, and it's only been a few days. Mr. Ferguson was joking."

Eric pursed his lips, his brows were cold, and he looked at Grant on the opposite side calmly: "I'll just say it straight, I hope the Stanton family can take over the AG project with full authority, and this project cannot be delayed any longer."

Grant also looked directly at him without any fluctuations in his eyes: "Mr. Ferguson, I have also seriously considered this project. The Stanton family is No matter how great the interests are, the Stanton Corporation doesn't want to get involved."

Eric's eyes shrank, his jaw clenched, and just as he was about to say something, he heard Grant's cold voice: "The back of this project How many people are thinking about it, South Africa and East Asia are all staring at them, and even the current friendship with Mr. Ferguson, are they interested?"

Grant simply pierced the current situation.

"The Stanton Corporation's participation in the project is not just about the benefits and prospects. Even if we want to do public welfare, we have to protect ourselves, not to mention that the Stanton family doesn't want to be in the company of those people, let alone any danger."

Eric asked: "Mr. Stanton is afraid?"

Grant smiled, "It's just that you don't need to lose your life to make money."

"If I say, as long as the Stanton family is willing to win this project, I will guarantee that it will be with anyone in South Africa. Wouldn't the forces interfere with it?" Eric said in a stiff voice.

Grant still smiled calmly: "Mr. Ferguson, I believe in your ability, but I don't want to participate, and the Stanton family can't stand any setbacks. I believe you know that my sister has escaped death many times, but now she has lost her life. Very, without the company of bodyguards, I didn't even want to leave the door, and I didn't come to work today. Mr. Ferguson, family is more important than making money."

Eric's eyes darkened a bit, and his face was ugly and tangled. After a long time, Eric stood up abruptly. There was a bit of hesitation on his face, but his voice was still cold: "Mr. Stanton, if the Stanton family doesn't take over this project, Nicole will be in real danger and she has been targeted.

Nicole doesn't have enough protection for her own interests, so those people will be unscrupulous to pay her attention.

Could it be that she can only have one-third of an acre of land in the Stanton family in Liberty in the future?

Once she is out of the scope of the Stanton family, There are countless dangers."

After Eric finished speaking, Grant's eyes were instantly deep and dark.

That's not all he's going to say, right?

What is Eric implying?

Grant's face froze instantly, ugly.

Eric took a deep breath and regained his slightly cold calm expression: "Mr. Stanton think about it carefully, I will let someone bring the contract over."

He tidied up his clothes, raised his feet, and walked out.

Grant narrowed his eyes and looked at his back. There was an indescribable anxiety in his heart.

Eric said to keep half of it.

The remaining half is a warning? Or a reminder?

Is he hating Nicole out of love, or will he destroy it if he doesn't get it?

Grant's face was ashen. He didn't want to take risks with his family, so even if it was a lucrative business, he wouldn't do it.

But the arrival of Eric made his already firm mind start to waver again. If they have already targeted Nicole, is it useful for her to hide?

Grant stayed in the reception room for a long time before coming out.

"Mr. Stanton, the next itinerary has been pushed back, but you made an appointment for dinner with Mr. Sheldon of the Sheldon Corporation…"

Grant's voice was cold and hoarse: "It's all pushed back, I'm going. Nicole will pick up my wife there."

The assistant was taken aback.

"Mr. Stanton, Mr. Sheldon asked if you could change dinner to Ms. Stanton's apartment?

Because Mrs. Sheldon is also there…"

Chapter 1972

Grant was stunned for a moment, but he almost forgot that Yvette is now Lance Sheldon's wife.

He nodded and had already picked up his coat. "Okay, needless to say, I'll go over by myself."

The assistant nodded.

"By the way, if Eric sends a contract, send it to me as soon as possible."

"Yes." The assistant paused, thinking to himself, is Mr. Stanton planning to cooperate?

Arrived at Nicole's house.

Haven't come in yet.

He could smell the aroma of barbecue. As soon as he entered the door, he heard the laughter of the children inside.

Talking about the children being amused and laughing, a simple little toy was also laughed out of the state of being forced to open for business.

Unlike Levi Stanton, who is not interested in any toys in other people's hands, he piles his Lego seriously.

Hearing Grant's voice, little child Levi felt a little bit moved, put down the things in his hand, ran over with his short legs, stretched out his hands for a hug: "Daddy…"

Grant really didn't want to spoil his son, but Aida was standing not far away. He could only bend down and hug his son with a smile, and kissed him on the face: "Little Lavy, did you have a good time today? "

He nodded, pointed with a smile, and was running and crawling here while baring his teeth, talking about the children.

"Sister… take it home."

He likes his sister so much that he wants to take it home.

Grant chuckled lightly: "That's not possible, Auntie can't bear it."

Aida walked over immediately with a smile, and glanced at Grant with satisfaction: "That's right, you should always smile when looking at your son otherwise he wouldn't dare to look at you."

Grant remained silent.

Yes, he sank once because of his homework, and after Levi was punished, Aida warned him.

Lance rolled up his sleeves and came out of the kitchen, saw Grant nodded, and walked over:

"Mr. Stanton…"

Grant nodded, put little Levi down, and looked at Lance: "Go to the study room Let's talk?"

Lance nodded.

Knowing that the two had something to talk about, Aida didn't say much.

She trotted over to pick up the little boy talking, and held her hand with a smile: "Little boy talking, I'll have dinner in a while, what do you like to eat?"

"Eating dinner…"

In the study room.

Lance said directly: "Samuel in Baltic City has been looking for financing everywhere, and their family has encountered a lot of trouble in South Africa's oil infrastructure, which shows that the other party is prepared.

The Lindstrom family did not want to sell this cornucopia, so he hoped for domestic financial support, but he was unwilling to give up too many shares. After a stalemate for half a month, he had been in South Africa for a long time.

Grant squinted lightly. This study is exclusively for Nicole, and it is separate from the study used by Clayton. Because there are many documents and materials that need to be placed, it will not mess up the order.

Grant's eyes After a flash, his tone condensed: "It was a terrorist who caused him trouble? Whose power is it? "

Lance paused and looked at him: "As Mr. Stanton expected, it was stinging."

Grant's eyes narrowed slightly without any turbulence, and the bottom of his eyes suddenly became dark and deep.

"Samuel wanted to swallow the oil of the Lindstrom family, and even wanted to swallow the arms base of Clayton, but the Lindstrom family was easy to deal with, and Clayton couldn't move only step by step."

Lance Sheldon nodded: "That's right, but we don't know Eric's position at the moment. When I heard that there was an accident at the Oilfield, Mr. Ferguson even made a fuss, but Mr. Stanton and Mr. Ferguson, no matter how stupid, would not deal with the business. Is Clayton in the company of someone like Liliana? "

Grant was breathing heavily. He looked at the situation where he saw Eric the last two times, and it seemed that something was different.

But what was different, he really couldn't tell for a while.

Someone knocked on the door.

Nicole drilled in and smiled. Looking at the two people: "Brother, come out and help!"

Grant's expression softened, the coldness on his face faded, he smiled and nodded.

"Let's go, eat first."

The two walked out, and Nicole put the mobile phone in Grant's hand.

"The charcoal I ordered will be used for the barbecue in a while. The delivery person can't enter the community. Big brother, are you going to move in?"

Grant looked at his phone, took a deep breath, and rubbed his eyebrows: "Why don't you let Clayton do this kind of thing?" I

believe that Clayton will not refuse.

Nicole blinked, thinking how could Clayton do such a thing? But she didn't say it, and pushed Grant out with a smile: "It's rare for the businessman to take a day off, he's been busy for a long time. Eldest brother just let him go!"

Grant looked at her and smiled coldly, "Nicole is really my own good sister!"

This kind of physical work is reluctant to use Clayton?

It's so unscrupulous!

However, Grant didn't delay for too long, and went downstairs with his mobile phone. As soon as he got downstairs, the phone rang.

"Excuse me, is it the courier ordered by Ms. Stanton?"

"Yes."

Grant stood at the intersection and waited bored.

Soon, a private chef's car arrived. The name on the car was very familiar. It was the barbecue that Nicole liked very much.

The person in the car got out of the car, dressed in black clothes and a hat, lowered his head and took out a box from the car.

"Ms. Stanton ordered charcoal…"

The man hesitated.

Grant stretched out his hand: "Give it to me."

The man paused, "Okay."

Without raising his head, he handed the thing directly to Grant, and then got in the car and left.

Grant weighed it. The charcoal fire was neither light nor heavy, but had some weight.

He turned away.

Suddenly, Seems to realize something is wrong.

His eyes sank, as if he remembered something, and suddenly put the box on the ground.

He opened the box right away.

The box was empty, with a severed hand in the middle, bloody, with an English "o" tattooed on the inside of the little finger, next to a sharp dagger.

It is a warning.

Grant's face became cold and severe, his eyes froze instantly, and the whole person was shrouded in haze.

In an instant, he recognized the man's hand.

It was the bodyguard he sent to monitor Ryo.

The "o" is his personally identifiable information designation given to him by his company.

When Nicole returned to Liberty, he didn't let his guard down, and he has been secretly monitoring the most dangerous people.

For example, sharpen.

In other words, Liliana had already noticed that someone was watching and knew that he had sent it.

He directly looked down this person's hand and sent it over, which meant that he already knew everything.

Grant's heart was cold, he closed his eyes, put down the box without haste, and closed the lid.

Dial a number with his mobile phone: "Go and check if o is still alive? If he is still alive, let him withdraw immediately."

Now that he has been found, there is no need to continue tracking.

And…

He paused and called the company assistant directly: "Go and contact Eric, the AG project, the Stanton Corporation will take over."

Chapter 1973

He hung up the phone.

Another car drove up in the distance, a special car for that barbecue shop.

Grant narrowed his eyes, got off the car and two young waiters walked over with a smile: "Ms. Stanton ordered the charcoal…"

Grant's eyes flashed and he nodded.

The waiter smiled enthusiastically and asked him, "Do you need us to help move it up?"

Grant shook his head, "No, just leave it here. Besides, you are the only ones who came to deliver things?"

The waiter nodded, "Yes, Because Ms. Stanton is a VIP customer, our manager specially ordered us to deliver it as soon as possible, exactly fifteen minutes from when she placed the order."

Grant pursed his lips in silence.

Fifteen minutes is indeed the fastest time from that position to the present. It means that someone gets the news faster than the store.

He pondered: "Thank you."

The waiter smiled and left.

Grant pondered for a moment before making another call.

"Officer Jensen, I want to talk to you about something…"

More than ten minutes have passed since Grant called.

During this time, his men had already disposed of another box.

After Nicole's repeated urging, she carried another heavy box upstairs.

There was laughter in the living room.

Clayton rolled up his sleeves, showing his thin forearms, and worked hard in the crowd.

Yvette was still arguing with Lance Sheldon. Although she hadn't seen him for a while, Yvette was still reluctant to give up halfway and come back to work.

Julie and Ian were talking about the children playing games with Levi Stanton, and the three of them were very gregarious.

Aida and Nicole were busy with other ingredients, and they whispered a few words from time to time, and then Aida began to recommend something to Nicole.

Looks like everything is fine.

Grant took a deep breath and suppressed the heaviness in his heart. He pretended to be relaxed and walked in, and Clayton hurried over to take the box in his hand.

"Brother has worked hard. I said just now that I'll go, but Nicole let you down without paying attention."

Clayton still smiled softly, and he didn't eat human fireworks.

Grant nodded and let go.

"I made a phone call below, so I came up late." He explained to Aida who was behind.

Aida smiled and said nothing, so Grant hurried to wash his hands and eat.

The balcony has a large area, and there is an automatic rain-shielding glass on it, which can automatically adjust the light and shade and air permeability according to the sunlight temperature and humidity.

Everyone sat in front of the tables and chairs that had been prepared for a long time, watching Clayton start the smoky barbecue.

Nicole took a photo and sent it to Floyd.

Isn't BBQ more fun than fishing? But her next sentence: "Dad, how many fish did you catch today?"

The other party's reality: "You are not the other party's friend…"

Nicole: "…"

Oh, block it!

She still called Mr. Anderson and asked him to prepare more food for Floyd.

Uncle Steward: "The old man didn't catch a single fish today. He's in a bad mood, so he won't eat."

No wonder this is the case!

Can't laugh or cry.

Gradually.

Grant and Lance also joined the kebab army. Nicole and Yvette didn't want to get caught in the smoke, so they stayed far away.

From time to time, Clayton would come to feed him with a bunch of roasted lobster and tender lamb.

Nicole unknowingly ate a lot.

Sitting on the sofa, Yvette was a little puzzled when she saw Nicole eating skewers while hugging the pillow.

She sighed: "What has marriage brought you? In addition to killing your fighting spirit, there are only calories left."

Nicole paused and rolled her eyes at her.

She usually controls her diet, but this time she forgot it when she was happy, and unknowingly ate a lot.

But of course she would not admit defeat in front of Yvette.

"Don't say grapes are sour because you can't eat grapes, your boss Sheldon doesn't even have this consciousness, he has been eating by himself!"

Yvette looked over, and Lance was enjoying it while roasting.

Suddenly, she rolled her eyes angrily.

Men and men are really different!

Yvette pouted, Nicole smiled and looked at her: "How does it feel to be in a long-distance relationship?"

Yvette snorted coldly: "Excellent, no one cares about the east and west, I can't be more free!"

Nicole sees it through but doesn't say it.

Yvette looked at the men on the balcony and Ian, who was playing with the children in the living room, and shook her head.

"But after you've been married for so long, have you discovered any shortcomings in Clayton?"

"Disadvantages?"

Nicole frowned and thought for a while: "A lot."

Yvette's brows lit up: "Tell me, every time I look at Mr. Sloan is so proud of himself and invincible, he thought he was made of iron!"

Nicole pursed her lips and counted them one by one: "He looks good, has a good figure, and has a high IQ. He is one of the best among the people I know. He is always caring, gentle, and attentive. He wants to be ahead of me in things I didn't expect. And he never quarrels with me and loses his temper. Every time I'm in a bad mood I wanted to quarrel a few times, but he would make me laugh before I could say a few words. Also, his career is also very successful, and he has money…"

"Wait!"

Yvette was inexplicable . "Ms. Stanton, I'm asking about the shortcomings, do you understand the shortcomings?"

Nicole blinked: "I have a few more words to talk about the shortcomings.

Yvette was speechless after hearing this.

Nicole was silent for a while, then looked up at her: "He always treats me like a child, and he spoils me with no bottom line."

When she said this, the corners of her mouth curved up unconsciously.

This is Clayton shortcoming. Because of this shortcoming, Nicole's self-motivation is not so intense.

Because Clayton always took the bank card and told her to take a day off.

It was so good, she couldn't help but agree.

Yvette glanced at her silently, looked away, and sighed: "Forget it, the joys and sorrows of people are not connected. You will never understand that when I was fighting hard in front of you, your man was there. I keep trying to make you fall behind, because I have to obediently admit defeat and go back and continue to be his secretary."

Yvette's words contained infinite complaints and dissatisfaction. But she also knew that Lance Sheldon was for her own good.

She just doesn't understand this kind of good, why can't it be built on the basis that she can be on her own.

Could it be that if she loses, she will feel better when she looks back and applauds from behind?

Nicole glanced at her and thought of something.

"Yvette, you can tell Lance Sheldon directly, don't keep it in your heart, or you will accumulate too many contradictions, and you won't be able to end it in the end."

Yvette pouted, "I can't say."

Nicole said When Yvette wanted to say something, she watched Clayton come in with a plate of roasted tender lamb.

"Baby, come and taste the tender mutton in Australia, didn't you say you like this mutton very much?"

Chapter 1974

Nicole smells the fragrance and has a big appetite.

Looking at Clayton's eagerly looking forward gaze, she suppressed the desire for control in her heart and told herself and him, "I just eat this bunch, I can't eat too much."

Clayton nodded.

Nicole took a bite, the juice inside was fresh and tender, and the taste of the mutton was really indescribable, not greasy at all, and the roast was just right.

Her eyes lit up and she gave Clayton a thumbs up.

Clayton put down another bunch by her hand: "Eat another bunch, it's not bad, just drink a glass of cucumber juice after eating to relieve the tiredness."

Nicole nodded happily.

Yvette watched the situation on the side, and immediately shook her head.

Is this the Mr. Stanton she knew?

Clayton went back and continued to bake with satisfaction.

After a while, Lance came in: "You haven't come out to eat yet?"

Yvette choked and tried her best to restrain her anger: "Don't eat, I'll lose weight."

Lance paused, "I've picked them all for you. Just put it outside, and come here if you're hungry."

He didn't say much, just turned around and continued to bake.

Nicole smiled: "Mr. Sheldon is still considerate. I hope you will eat with him, otherwise he will be alone and embarrassed to speak."

Let Nicole say this, Yvette's face looks a little better.

"How is that possible?"

He was tough-mouthed and soft-hearted, but he believed Nicole's words.

Due to Ian's natural coaxing skills, he quickly said that the children became his little fans.

Ian casually pressed the remote control in his hand, and the toy car started to move.

Said that the child gave a face-saving "wow" and looked at him with a smile on his face like a flower.

Ian: "…"

Little Levi looked at Ian silently, and didn't understand why he was shocked when he pressed a remote control.

When Ian wanted to help him build Lego, Levi Stanton blocked him and said solemnly,

"Thank you, I will."

…

Everyone ate and drank until the afternoon.

When Levi took a nap, Aida planned to go home.

Grant was obviously hesitant to speak, but since everyone was present, he could only follow him and leave as if nothing had happened.

Julie left, Yvette and Lance left hand in hand.

Nicole looked at the rest of the mess, and her head suddenly became big.

When she came back, Clayton had already started to clean up.

Talk about the children sitting in the electric trolley with a smile and turning around.

Clayton smiled and talked to her, regardless of whether she could understand it or not: "Tell me about the little ones, are you happy to eat? Today's mutton is good, lobster is also good, you can eat it when you grow up… .."

Talking about the children, he added: "Eat, eat, eat…"

As soon as Nicole came in, she smiled: "Are you hungry?"

Clayton looked up at her and smiled gently: "He's not hungry, he just drank milk powder, you go to rest first, wait until I finish cleaning up. Come out again."

Nicole raised her eyebrows, thinking how could she have met such a good man who can make money and run a family?

"Wait for Auntie(maid) to come back and do it…"

She was also reluctant that Clayton's clean and slender hands had become rough!

Clayton smiled: "No, auntie will be upset when she sees a mess when she comes back. What's more, we have to set a good example for the children and be a good boy who can bear hardships and stand hard work, right?"

He lowered his head and smiled and glanced at the child.

Lil Chatty looked at her mommy, pinched her little finger, shook it in front of her eyes, and repeated Clayton's words inarticulately:

"No way…"

Nicole clicked, "Okay. Ah, when we grow up, we won't invite aunties, let's talk about children being hard-working!"

Clayton was stunned for a moment, and instantly looked at his precious daughter with sympathy.

Said that Lil Chatty didn't know what Mommy meant, so they turned the steering wheel of the car and ran back and forth.

Smile from ear to ear.

It seems that the gift that Ian bought is very much in line with her heart!

Clayton's pursed lips raised a pleasant arc, and continued to lower his head to clean.

It didn't take long for Nicole to simply take a shower and come out, washing the smell of fireworks off her body, and she came out satisfied only when she became a fragrant one.

She carefully applied body lotion and mask to herself. After a series of procedures, the sky was getting darker.

When she went out, she looked at Clayton's old father hanging like a little koala, and smiled brightly.

Nicole chuckled, and Clayton heard it and turned to look at her. "By the way, Ian is getting married, do you want to prepare extra gifts?"

Nicole was slightly taken aback, "Who gets married?"

"Ian."

"What is Ian doing?"

Nicole seemed to be completely unexpected.

Clayton: "Ian is getting married."

Nicole paused and frowned: "He didn't say anything today!"

Clayton took out the invitation card on the side: "It's on the table, didn't you see it? I thought you already knew that Ian and Ms. Makinen are getting married next Tuesday."

Nicole was stunned for a while.

"So soon? Next Tuesday?"

Clayton now believes that she really doesn't know.

He handed over the invitation.

Nicole glanced at it.

Sure enough, Ian and Lumi got married next Tuesday.

Hasty, but surprising.

It wasn't long before Lumi got divorced. She was about to get married, or she was going to be with the Carter family, who was one of the best in the circle. Who wouldn't be envious if she said it out loud?

Soon.

Nicole's phone suddenly rang.

It's Yvette.

Nicole picked up her call.

"Lil N, I just heard about Ian's wedding next week, have you heard?

What the h*ll did you say? It was too sudden, and she was still with Lumi. Didn't Lumi just divorce?

Samuel is still watching oil in South Africa. She is married here, and she is completely out of the game! "

Yvette chattered, she didn't know what happened to Ian, Lumi and Samuel in Cali.

Nicole sighed. When she finished, she flipped through the simple invitation card: "Me too I just saw it, although it was an accident. It was quite in line with Ian's temperament. He didn't say it, maybe he didn't know how to speak? Forget it, after all, fate can't stop it. If someone can take away Ian, we can be thankful."

Yvette clicked her tongue,"I'm just too surprised. Ian always changes girlfriends every day, why did he suddenly want to settle down? Wouldn't it be… a marriage with a child? "

Nicole paused. Something came to her mind. She coughed. "How is it possible!, don't guess, just go next Tuesday."

Yvette muttered, "This traitor has not leaked any rumors!"

Nicole hung up after saying a few words.

Clayton's attention shifted from talking about the children to Nicole, and he coughed: "So, Ian got married, did no one say anything? "

Nicole nodded, "Probably so."

Otherwise, he wouldn't even hide it from their good friends.

Open whatsapp and take a look at their private group.

Yvette has scolded Ian for more than ten minutes. It turns out that she only called Nicole after she finished scolding.

Ian may have a guilty conscience and has never appeared…

Chapter 1975

Julie echoed a few words weakly in the group, just Start changing the subject.

"Have you chosen a wedding dress for the bride?"

"Where are you planning to go on your honeymoon?" "Does Ian Carter have any special gifts? If not, we will directly prepare the money! If so, it will be swiped."

Nicole sent a whatsapp message to Ian: "?"

Ian: "…"

Nicole: "OK."

It was a strange reply, but both of them understood.

Ian was already confirmed, and it wasn't a joke.

Putting away the phone, he said to Clayton calmly,"Prepare a gift."

Clayton nodded.

Nicole's friends are naturally more valuable. Talking about the child playing with the bottle in Clayton's arms, twisting and twisting, accidentally spilled milk on him.

Clayton paused, and calmly patted the talking child on the shoulder, "Let's say the little baby is so awesome that he can twist open the bottle!"

Talking about the little kid who was not worried about being criticized, he thought Daddy was complimenting him, Smiling, he put his arms around his neck and took a sip.

Clayton nodded happily.

Nicole walked over and picked up the little friend who said, "Go and change clothes, Mr. Sloan, go on, your son almost doesn't know his surname!"

Clayton smiled, walked over and kissed on her face, her eyes were full of tenderness: "Baby, our daughter is really smart and brave, you can see that she will never be deceived by other men if she can't open the bottle cap, we should teach her to distinguish between good and bad! "

Nicole frowned slightly, completely unable to keep up with Clayton's thoughts.

When she was still worried about saying that the children were about to destroy, Clayton had already seen the distant future?

God!

Is this man's mind too distracting?

Clayton smiled and went to the cloakroom to change clothes at a leisurely pace.

Nicole put the children on her car, and the whole living room could be used by her.

She quickly plunged into her own world without crying or making trouble.

Nicole smiled helplessly, remembering that several clothes that Clayton often wore had just been dry cleaned and hadn't been put into the cloakroom.

She got up and took the bag to the door of the cloakroom, knocked on the door, and went in.

"You need clothes…"

Clayton took off half of his clothes, and the lines of his thin upper body were smooth.

Even though the two of them were already close enough, Nicole was still stunned for a second when she saw the fragrant scene so suddenly, and then covered her eyes: "Stinky hooligan."

Clayton chuckled, his voice warm and gentle.

Nicole blinked, realizing that Clayton was overreacting.

This is her own man, she can look at it however she wants!

Why are you embarrassed?

right.

Thinking of this, Nicole paused and quietly dropped his fingers.

In the next second, Clayton's big hands covered her eyes, and it was pitch black in front of her.

With a little force, he blindfolded her and pushed her out.

She also laughed arrogantly: "Don't peek!"

Nicole: "…"

She was really pissed off.

She can't see, who can?

But when she was about to push the door in and declare her sovereignty, Clayton quickly changed his clothes and came out, changing his pants.

Just unhurriedly buttoning the shirt.

He smiled meaningfully, "Baby, are you taking advantage of me on purpose?"

Nicole's heart skipped a beat.

She raised her chin calmly: "What do you think?"

Clayton's smile deepened, and he walked over and touched her earlobe, her most sensitive place.

Nicole shrank abruptly, but Clayton suddenly approached and kissed the spot on her earlobe: "I think you did it on purpose."

Nicole trembled for a moment with the magnetic voice in her ear.

That feeling, as if her heart was hooked.

This Clayton, is there a fox spirit living in his soul!

She gritted her teeth, pushed Clayton away suddenly, and ran into the bedroom.

Heart beating fast.

In the past, it seemed that only when Clayton deliberately flirted with her did she react the most strongly. But now, she felt that she could no longer control her heartbeat.

Clayton heard a low, hoarse laughter from behind, happy and hearty.

Very proud.

Nicole felt a little hot on her face, so she called Yvette directly.

She wants to ask her about her experience.

Yvette had just finished scolding Ian, and she was in a better mood.

After Nicole finished talking about the feeling just now, she sighed: "I always felt that I was very rational, but the reaction of my body just couldn't deceive people. I felt like I was trapped. I just liked it, I was very close to him in every way. It's suitable, of course I like it a little bit, I can control it…"

Before she could finish, Yvette interrupted her: "Take it down. You have to recognize yourself Just look at him more than a hundred times today. You two look at each other and you can't wait to be drawn…I tell you, you are helpless, this man has completely control your happiness. Feeling angry, you are in danger!"

Nicole blinked, feeling that she was in danger.

Although she likes Clayton very much, she always feels that she can still control it.

Even if it was love that she said casually, she waited for Clayton to say it first, and then she would go along with his words.

She never took the initiative to say it.

They've been through so much, and she's always found it easy to be strong in a relationship.

But hearing Yvette say this, she felt that she was hanging!

She don't put all her emotions on a man, she has done this stupid thing before and spurned herself.

Today, her marriage is perfect, and it cannot be said that there is no credit for her painstaking efforts. But let her be stupid again, what should she do, she can't do it! She walked irritably around the room.

But soon, Clayton came over and knocked on the door, but he didn't hear anything inside, thinking Nicole was angry.

Baby? Ms. Stanton?"

No one responded.

Clayton was worried and could only push the door in by himself.

But before taking a step, a pillow was thrown over, and Clayton grabbed it with one hand.

His eyebrows were warm and romantic, and his voice was hoarse and pleasant: "I'm sorry, it was my fault, I shouldn't have told you about you!"

After hearing his apology, Nicole's fire inexplicably disappeared, and his confidence came.

She paused.

"Then where did you go wrong?"

Clayton said, "You can watch it if you want, and you can be a hooligan if you want to be a hooligan. I shouldn't stop you. I'm just worried that the children are still outside, and we can't control it inside… ..Well, I'll take it off now, so you can see enough?"

He said with slender fingers, he decisively began to unbutton his shirt.

His brows and eyes were warm and clear, as if they were not stained with dust.

Nicole was stunned by this operation.

She watched in shock as Clayton unbuttoned his clothes smoothly and began to unbutton his belt again:

"Wait…"

Chapter 1976

Nicole feels that if Clayton does not stop it, she is afraid that it will be difficult to end.

Clayton was stunned for a while, and looked at her seriously with dark eyes: "What's the matter, you don't want to watch it again?"

Nicole felt like a domineering mountain king.

Why is she bullying Clayton?

In this situation, it is really embarrassing to be able to cut out three bedrooms and one living room!

Nicole said calmly: "It's good to take off, and then take it off at night."

Clayton was silent and calmly buttoned the button again, and took a deep look at Nicole:

"Yes."

Anyway, he was very happy to do it.

In the evening, when aunty came back, She warmly went to say hello to Lil Chatty. Then, watching Nicole and Clayton, who were still calm, were watching a movie in the living room.

The atmosphere is just right.

When talking about Lil Chatty couldn't help it and started yawning, Clayton asked aunty to take the talk back to coax him to sleep.

He looked at Nicole enthusiastically, as if there were violent storms brewing in the darkness.

Nicole felt a little regretful. Because she felt that it was really difficult to go on tonight.

Clayton hugged her and whispered and kissed, but he didn't want to be happy, and he had to let Nicole undress him personally.

She took off the clothes tremblingly for two hours, and was already sweating…

She exhausted all night.

Nicole couldn't even lift her fingers. The next day she slept until noon.

She recovered a little, and she still wanted to go to the company, so don't go now.

The place next to it is empty.

His physical strength recovered much faster than hers.

always like this.

Nicole is still fresh and clean. Clayton has nothing to say about being considerate in this regard, otherwise she won't be able to sleep.

She came out after washing.

There is food on the table, but no one is in the kitchen.

The aunty who came downstairs greeted her with a smile: "Madam, you wake up, food should be ready, I'll serve it for you."

Nicole smiled and walked to the dining table, where there was only one breakfast for one person.

She paused: "Sir and talk about it?"

Auntie smiled, "Sir, there is something urgent in the company, I went to the company, I was afraid that I would stay and cry and disturb your rest, so I took her away, the husband said. Don't let anyone disturb you, say you worked hard yesterday."

Saying you worked hard yesterday…

When Auntie said this without changing her face, Nicole's face was flushed.

She breathed slightly, and took a deep breath to calm herself down.

"Yes, yes, there were too many friends who came yesterday, it was really hard…"

She found herself a step down, whether her aunty believed it or not. "I've never seen someone more considerate than Mr.Sloan. The president of a big company, he looks like a big star, but he doesn't have any air. This meal is all cooked by Mr. Sloan, and he also asked me to start stewing eat on time. It just happens that you can drink together."

Auntie's voice was kind, Nicole lowered her eyes, and the corners of her lips curved.

In fact, it wouldn't be a bad thing if she fell into it, right?

However, she still can't tell him her current mood, otherwise he will be proud.

Nicole has a good appetite. After breakfast, she plans to go shopping and go to the company in the afternoon.

As a result, Clayton's phone call came, as if he had pinpointed the time.

"Baby?" The voice followed the electric current into her ears. The tip of her heart seemed to be fluttered by a feather, and her heartbeat accelerated again.

Thinking about the chaos last night, Nicole really didn't want to recall.

There is only one sentence to comment on Clayton: "Fox spirit with human face and beast heart!"

Nicole didn't speak, Clayton waited for a few seconds before speaking, his voice was coaxing and soft: "Baby, I just bought you a necklace, what do you want? Don't go and look at it?"

Nicole pouted, with a little bit of duplicity: "Who cares?"

Her voice was low and soft, and at first glance, she was bullied too much.

Clayton coaxed patiently: "Take a look at the face? If you don't like it, just talk about it."

"Okay, where is it?" Nicole asked, standing up and walking towards the bedroom.

The man also knew how to coax her with a necklace, but if it didn't look good, she wouldn't want it.

You must firm up your own aesthetic taste online.

"On the apron on our top floor, the helicopter has just arrived, you can go up."

Nicole was stunned for a moment, then stopped. "You sent it by helicopter?"

What necklace, such a big battle?

"Well, I asked them to send it as soon as it was dawn. It's just right now. Don't you like the brand in France? I saw the collection model and it was very suitable for you, so I sent it directly."

Clayton said, "It's as simple as ordering a takeaway online."

Nicole paused, "There's only one collection in the world, isn't it going to be auctioned the day after tomorrow?"

She originally planned to participate in the auction because she really liked it. But out of the businessman's psychology, if the auction price exceeds her psychological expectations, she will not accept it.

So whether you can get it or not, your mentality is flat.

Clayton gave a low smile: "Because you like it, you are the unique owner of that necklace."

His words were so satisfying to Nicole.

At that moment, Nicole almost blurted out all her thoughts from yesterday.

Make him happy too.

But she was full of that necklace, so she turned around and went to the door to get on the elevator and went directly to the top.

The helicopter was there, and the two escorts were still holding controlled guns.

The cold wind rustled the clothes, and the aura was completely different.

Seeing Nicole, the two escorts came down directly with the safe.

"Ms. Stanton?"

Nicole nodded.

The escort opened the safe in front of her.

A string of thin necklaces inlaid with pink diamonds appeared in front of her. As if glowing with expensive light.

Nicole has so many pieces of jewelry, any one she picks out is comparable to one.

But it was the first to make her so excited.

Exquisite indescribable, can completely touch the heart of any woman.

She reached out and touched it, then took it back.

The escort delivered the things, and if there was no extra, they turned around and went up the helicopter's suspension ladder.

Nicole went back with the necklace, quietly admired it for a few minutes, and decided not to go to work today.

Bringing this necklace to the company is a waste of money!

She deliberately changed into a long black slip dress that matched the necklace. Perfectly revealing her slender swan neck, and that delicate indescribable necklace.

In the end, she took a smug selfie and sent it to the four groups and Clayton's whtsapp respectively.

Group of four:

Yvette: "F*ck!"

Julie: "F*ck!"

Ian: "Please pay attention to civilized words, my God!"

…

Clayton is busy, two minutes have passed Only replied: "Perfect, only for you."

Nicole smiled and was elated.

If Clayton didn't even have this appreciative ability, she felt that they would not be able to get to where they are today.

In the final analysis, Clayton worked hard enough.

Chapter 1977

Nicole dressed up well. It is impossible not to go out for a walk.

So, She's accompanied by Luca. Then she went to Clayton's company.

By the way, She called Floyd and said that she would take the children back to dinner.

When Floyd heard this, he became energized and muttered: "I just said that you don't have to take her back, how convenient it is to stay with me!"

Nicole went directly to Clayton's company without saying hello, and Clayton didn't know that she would suddenly's arrival.

The assistant was surprised by her sudden visit, but he understood immediately after seeing the expensive pink diamond necklace around her neck.

"Madam, please wait a few minutes, the general manager of the business is conducting a cross-border video conference, it may take a while."

Nicole nodded sympathetically and took a seat beside him.

The assistant brought her favorite coffee, she thanked it and put it aside.

"Do your job, don't worry about me."

"Okay, ma'am."

Clayton has no physical business here, and his employees are all over the world, so it does not exceed 100% here, but it occupies the most gold in the commercial street. the lot.

It seems to be his habit, after all, he has the ability and confidence to occupy the best location.

Clayton's video conference has been on for a long time.

After five minutes. There was no movement inside, and she thought it was over.

The assistant was not around either, so she tentatively opened the door and went in.

As soon as the door opened.

Clayton sat on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with his back to the door, hunched slightly, looking at the computer screen in front of him.

An unfamiliar voice came from the computer.

Their conversation was so involved that no one realized Nicole's intrusion.

"Mr. Sloan, Samuel has already begun to annex other forces. His sudden failure caught everyone by surprise. He was concerned about the oil in the Lindstrom family, and Samuel seemed to be unable to support it. He made good friends, the Ferguson family's property was safe and sound, but they didn't know a word about other people's properties. I heard that the Lindstrom family had begged him several times, but Eric didn't move. You said how did Liliana appear so suddenly? The relationship between his sister and Eric, and the relationship between Eric's sister and Liliana, as for?"

Nicole stood there, her body froze slightly.

Clayton was silent for a moment, his voice was cold and unwavering: "Everything he does is smoke bombs. His ultimate goal is my arms base. As long as you guard it well, the rest will be fine."

"But I I heard that the Falcon has already made a move against you? Although there is no next step, but you have to make a plan early."

"I am afraid that he will not make another move after he has measured it. After all, it is not good for him. "

Clayton's voice was extremely indifferent, and there was a bit of chill all over him.

It feels unfamiliar and cold.

Not the one who sweetly coaxed her.

The contrast is too big, but Nicole doesn't think it's weird, who doesn't have a mask yet?

As long as the one facing her is good, she is not unacceptable.

Just realizing that Clayton hasn't finished the meeting yet, and is in a dilemma, planning to quit.

The assistant at the door couldn't find Nicole, and was in a hurry.

He pushed open the door and came in: "Mr. Sloan, Mrs. she…"

Interrupted Clayton's thoughts.

His eyes turned coldly, and the coldness on his face had not yet faded.

He saw Nicole standing there sluggishly and the embarrassed assistant.

"Mr. Sloan, I'm sorry…"

Clayton lowered his eyes and nodded, the indifference on his face faded, and Nicole's familiar warmth appeared in his eyes.

"Just a moment, I'll be free soon."

He didn't end the conversation immediately, but instead let Nicole wait for him here calmly.

No panic to hide.

Nicole let out a sigh of relief and sat directly on the sofa on the side, waiting calmly.

When the assistant saw this, he honestly backed out.

Clayton sat there with his back still facing her direction: "Recently, pay attention to rioters going there to attack, strengthen the protection of mercenaries, and do not allow strangers to enter the internal research base. Also, our weapons cannot be sold, I will strengthen the strict inspection of customer identities."

Clayton replied, and then hung up the video call. He lowered his head for a moment, then stood up, tidied up his cuffs, and walked over: "I thought you would go to Ian and the others to gather, why did you come to such a boring place?"

Looking down at her, he bent slightly, as if to bring her into his arms. As soon as he lowered his head, he could kiss her forehead.

Seeing the dazzling and delicate necklace on her neck, he smiled warmly, and stroked the necklace lightly with his fingertips: "It seems that this gift is very agreeable?"

When he said this, Nicole proudly raised her chin.

Then He put his hands around her neck, this angle is just enough for him to fully appreciate the necklace he bought!

With water in her eyes, she said with a smile: "Not bad, gifts from Mr. Sloan are always irresistible!"

Clayton raised his eyebrows, "Then I haven't seen you take out the jewelry I gave you before… …"

Nicole paused, her eyes flashed: "This is an encouragement to you, and you have to make persistent efforts to give gifts in the future!"

The jewelry in the past was only precious, how could she put an antique emerald necklace and those priceless diamonds? Do you hang it around your neck every day?

Just thinking about it is suffocating.

Might as well make her happy with these stylish but bright limited editions!

Clayton nodded calmly, stretched out his hand and poked her on the forehead: "Don't worry, I accept the encouragement."

After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and then his eyes were dark and restrained.

"Have you slept well?"

Nicole restrained her smile, her bright facial features showed a bit of squeamish anger, and she gritted her teeth:

"It's so good!"

What a pot that cannot be opened!

Clayton also knew that he had gone too far, so he touched her hair, and his voice was hoarse: "Tell me that Lil Chatty is taking a nap inside, do you want to call her up to play with you?"

Nicole was stunned, and immediately pushed him away and stood up, "She didn't bother you, you came to the company and left her to be taken care of by auntie…"

"That's not good, it will disturb you, not to mention that it is not the first time she has come to the company. Speaking of her talent in business, I think my father is right, and it is right to nurture her since she was a child!"

Nicole twitched the corners of her mouth, rolled her eyes at him, reached the door of the lounge, and opened the door carefully.

Said that the children were sleeping soundly inside, and their white and tender faces were radiant.

It really looks better.

She smiled and looked back at him: "When she wakes up, let's take her to my dad together. I'm going to the company in the afternoon, and you are busy here. Why don't my dad teach her to study!"

Clayton Nodding solemnly: "You are right!"

Chapter 1978

I am waiting to say that when Lil Chatty wakes up, the assistant has brought in some desserts coffee.

Clayton finished some of the more urgent matters and pushed the rest to the afternoon.

"Baby, you heard it just now. A strange man who wants money and not his life. You can't go in and out of public places casually during this time, unless you have enough bodyguards."

Nicole nodded, she didn't take herself People who make fun of their lives. "I know, I won't go anywhere except Ian's wedding and company in the near future."

Ian's wedding is a must.

Clayton nodded.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Has Eric approached you recently?"

Nicole shook her head calmly: "No, but has he approached my brother, I don't know, what's wrong?"

Clayton paused After a while, his face became solemn: "It's nothing, Mr. Ferguson's family is in the hands of Falcon, I'm afraid he will be confused for a while, what can he do?"

Nicole frowned slightly: "Isn't it in the hands of Falcon?"

Clayton was silent for a few seconds: "It's hard to say, Falcon's people are also looking for them."

Nicole paused.

In such a dangerous place, Quinn and Ingrid, two women, do not know whether they will encounter any danger.

She didn't want to let them go wrong.

It's just that she is powerless about these things.

"Do you just want an arms base?" Nicole asked.

Clayton pursed his lips and looked at her, "It's strange to be a man. He makes dirty money, but he wants to clean up his money. He has been restless after annexing the power of Caleb in Southeast Asia. There is a lot of black money abroad, but it cannot be washed away. Only by expanding his power step by step can there be opportunities for money laundering. But the bigger the power and the more money, the more difficult it will be to launder money, so he set his sights on the arms base, only the first Besides, he is well-known in South Africa and has close contacts with some terrorists. Arms and money are what he wants most. My research base in South Africa was originally just a middleman, but it grew bigger and bigger, naturally I was targeted."

He spread his hands, quite helpless. He is an investor. When he invested in arms, it was just a whim, and he was not so interested in getting himself into the mud.

But now that it is getting bigger and bigger, it is difficult to withdraw.

"So as soon as the arms project of Mediania came out last time, I knew it was a good opportunity.

As long as the power of the Z side joins, I can slowly get out of their battle.

You know, no matter which side of the terrorist organization, They are all afraid of the normal armed forces in the world.

Especially Mediania.

Therefore, when the Z side inspection project is completed, even if I am asked to surrender, I am willing, at least it will not fall into the hands of others and become trouble. "

Clayton said everything in his heart.

In fact, nothing more than that, the arms base is in the hands of Clayton, which can be regarded as a hot potato.

But if Mediania party joins, it becomes a sweet pastry.

To temper those forces, there is nothing to worry about.

Nicole pondered for a while, then laughed: "So that's the case, you already planned it? There must be your reasons for the Stanton Corporation to get this project, but you're right, it's really troublesome."

Clayton picked. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the time. It was time to tell Lil Chatty that it was time to make milk powder.

He turned to go to the warm water.He opened his mouth and said, "When it comes to the relationship, it can't be all because of me, because the eldest brother has the confidence.

And I just mentioned that compared with the face of the arms research base and Mr. Ferguson, how to choose in the end depends on The meaning of the above."

Nicole twitched the corners of her mouth, how do people choose?

Hehe…

cunning!

Clayton moved smoothly and repeated many times while speaking. His voice is warm, but every word has no warmth: "But if I can use these external things in exchange for your interests, I am willing to do it. After all, there is no real fairness in the market, and whoever wins will have to weigh the interests of all parties. Interests and relationships."

Nicole looked at him with both hands, squinting. She always felt that Clayton was an extremely tolerant and kind person.

That's because she never touched the boundaries of his career.

The career lines of the two of them barely intersected, and even if they did, Clayton secretly avoided the risk of a possible collision, or voluntarily gave up their positions.

But now, at this moment, she heard Clayton's words.

Clayton seemed to be protecting one of his own people.

It's not about how many affections and relationships, interests and importance are being measured.

If it was someone else, he would have a completely different attitude or way of dealing with it.

He will not cede his vested interests to anyone.

Except for his own people.

This kind of person is especially decisive and fierce in the shopping mall, and there is almost no time for the car to roll over.

She doesn't like to deal with this kind of people in the mall.

But…

Nicole lowered her eyes and thought.

If Clayton was not such a person, he would not be decisive, he would not be calm and self-sufficient, and he would not strive for his own vested interests.

He wouldn't be the Clayton he is today.

The merchant's resources did not pave the way for him, and every step he took was harder than anyone else.

What right does she have to criticize his way of doing things?

Kindness and tolerance, that is what the Buddha should do.

Nicole lowered her head and chuckled, shaking her head. She really thinks too much. Perhaps, she is also protecting her own people like Clayton?

Clayton turned his head and glanced at her. But soon realized that he was talking too much.

He pursed his lips, and his face became tense for a moment: "Do you think that what I said is wrong?"

Nicole shook her head and smiled: "No, I think you are right, but One thing, I'm going to dismantle you!"

Clayton: "What?"

Nicole smiled, "It's impossible to give up your arms base, after all, so many forces are eyeing them, you handed it over to Mediania, causing dissatisfaction from all parties, you will give it to yourself also you will kill yourself. Mr. Sloan, you wouldn't do that, would you?"

Clayton smiled calmly, his eyebrows warm and clear: "Of course, I'm just a suggestion, if the time is right, I won't be stingy, just temporarily. ……I won't be so impulsive."

He shook the bottle and handed it to her with a smile. "I'm going to wake up and tell her, will you feed her?"

Nicole nodded.

As long as Clayton can stay by his side, why should he interfere with how sharp his wrists are?

Anyway, there will be opportunities in the future.

Talk about Lil Chatty waking up reluctantly. But with Daddy and Mommy by her side, she had no reason to cry. She could only roll away obediently before she got up lazily.

Arrived at Stanton's house.

Floyd didn't even eat lunch, so he just sat in the living room and waited for them.

As a result, the three of them came too late, which made Floyd's atmosphere so bad!

Chapter 1979

Nicole patiently explained the problem of children taking a nap.

Then she showed Floyd her new necklace.

Floyd put on his glasses and squinted for a while.

"Don't you have a lot of these necklaces in your safe?"

Nicole explained patiently: "Same color, different styles."

Floyd couldn't understand the girl's obsession with jewelry details.

However, he still responded a few words before calling Clayton over:" Ian gets married next week, will you accompany Lil N?"

Everyone tacitly understands that there is a dangerous element now, and they can't be careless.

Nicole got into the kitchen, said hello to Mr. Anderson, and then came out with a snack.

Clayton took out a tissue for her and wiped it clean.

Tacitly and unintentionally.

Three people're eating.

Nicole lowered her head and ate seriously, but after a while, the bowl was filled with vegetables.

Clayton sees which one she likes to eat, and always chooses which one she likes.

Seeing Floyd burst into flames.

He couldn't help it, put down his chopsticks and said: "Nutrition should be balanced, don't be picky eaters, eat more of what she doesn't like, and don't get used to her bad habits."

Clayton paused and nodded.

Nicole blinked, and couldn't help but say, "Dad, I eat nutritious meals every day, just this one, there will be no uneven nutrition!"

Floyd snorted coldly.

Seeing how Clayton spoiled her so much, can she honestly eat nutritious meals?

It's really hard to eat a meal!

It didn't take long for Floyd to put down his chopsticks.

Nicole and Clayton also ate almost.

It was just that when Nicole drank the water, he didn't notice that the water was very hot, so he took a sip and spit it out.

The two looked at her nervously.

Floyd's face changed: "What's the matter, call an ambulance, no no no, get the car ready, and go to the hospital!"

Clayton also went over nervously and hugged Nicole.

Nicole slowed down and stuck out her tongue: "It's nothing, it's just hot."

Floyd and Clayton were still very nervous.

Nicole smiled and said, "I feel so much better seeing you all so nervous and worried about me!"

Clayton silently got up and took a glass of cold water.

Floyd: "…"

Is this girl stupid?

……

After a few days.

It was Ian's wedding day.

Nicole had already prepared a gift, and what she had prepared was an equity transfer contract.

At the beginning, Ian failed to gain a firm foothold in the Carter Corporation, and was forced to step back. It was Nicole who won his opponent, which was equivalent to part of the equity nominally in Nicole's hands, but she did not monopolize it.

Now that Ian is on his own, Nicole handing over his nominal equity can be considered a complete return to him.

There is also a pair of Patek Philippe couple watches, which are extremely valuable.

Clayton prepared an antique ornament. Except for being expensive, it has no other characteristics. It is the most suitable gift.

It is said that Ian's marriage will not be too small in scale.

But for the wedding of the Carter family and the Makinen family, they also took into account the reputation of the Makinen family.

The matter between Lumi and Samuel was so noisy that there were scandals.

At this time, if there is a special case, the Lindstrom family's face will not be able to hold back. After all, the Makinen family and the Lindstrom family have not completely turned their face.

So their wedding was just to entertain guests in the largest hotel, inviting relatives and friends to gather together.

It's like telling everyone.

Although it was in the hotel, there were a lot of people coming.

Nicole, Yvette and Julie went one by one, and had seen many acquaintances.

But it's too tiring to go to greet each other now, they took a bit of a slack and plan to go see today's protagonist.

Clayton wanted to follow Nicole closely, but there were too many people who came to toast, so Mr. Carter took him to socialize again.

He could only ask Luca and the others to take good care of Nicole and not run outside alone.

When Clayton didn't follow, Nicole became more free.

The bodyguards here are layer after layer, if you really want to do something, unless your brain is flooded.

Yvette, wearing a small dress, asked about the room directly, and went up to it.

They knocked on the door and heard the sound inside before everyone entered.

Ian was changing his clothes with a smile on his face. It looked like something was different.

The indomitable romance in his eyebrows has diminished, and he has become a little more mature and stable.

Looking at the push door and entering, he smiled: "I knew you would come."

Julie smiled and looked at him: "Ian, congratulations!"

"Thank you."

Ian's eyes moved to Nicole's face, he sighed: "If I get married, you won't be the only one in my life, you have to take good care of yourself!"

You said each sentence to Nicole.

Nicole paused for a second: "It's the same as saying that you will be finished tomorrow, of course we will take care of ourselves, you can rest assured!"

The atmosphere is not so rigid.

Ian lowered his head and smiled, looking at the three of them: "If you guys come to grab the marriage, then my reputation will be famous far and wide!"

Yvette pierced him: "No, it's notorious, It will also implicate us!"

Everyone laughed.

Ian was wearing a neat suit and three-dimensionally handsome features.

Yvette saw that there was no one else in the room, then coughed and asked him, "Why didn't I know you and Ms. Makinen's were so close? Didn't you always despise their two sisters for being hypocritical and brainless?

How long has she been divorced, did you all before her divorce…"

Yvette spoke without restraint, but every sentence asked the key point.

In the end, she added another sentence: "Is it because she is pregnant that she has to get married?"

Ian smiled helplessly and shrugged.

I know there are many speculations from the outside world, but Ian can't do anything about it.

"Yes, you are all right. It was the time before her divorce. She was pregnant and I had to marry her."

The atmosphere became quiet.

Even Julie and Nicole were speechless there.

On the hangers next to them were all the dresses they were going to change, and there were even the words "Happy" posted on the wall.

But behind the happy word, there may be many contributing reasons.

No one could have imagined.

Ian smiled, sat there, and rubbed his hands:

"Don't look at me with such pitiful eyes, I'm married and have a child, isn't it a double happiness?"

Yvette: "Are you a double blow?

Ian's smile subsided a bit: " You are my best friends, I will tell the truth. Although every step is beyond my expectations, I do not reject this result. You must know that I am so mixed up. For many years, I have never fallen for a woman. As for Lumi, all I can say is that I may not have feelings for her, but the time has come."

Chapter 1980

Ian's voice was calm, and his expression was also a slight smile.

There is no dissatisfaction or resistance.

Nicole frowned slightly: "Then Lumi is willing?"

Ian paused and nodded: "She is also willing, we talked frankly about whether to keep the child or not to get married. We are very interested in marriage. Looking forward to it, I am willing to give it a try, but I just skip the step of falling in love and get married directly, it may not look good, but we know it."

Nicole raised her eyebrows, it sounded like Ian was dizzy.

In this circle, there are many people who want to marry Ian, but he chose Lumi.

The reputation of the wind review is not very good, and it is still not long after the divorce.

There must be many rumors. But they can decide together, indicating that they are mentally prepared.

No matter what, I can only congratulate you.

Julie nodded: "Lumi is not bad. We have met before. Since you have decided, then congratulations."

Nicole also nodded: "Congratulations."

"Marriage is a siege. People inside want to go out, and people outside want to come in. It doesn't matter if you haven't been married, Lumi has already been married once, and she doesn't have a long memory. What are you planning?"

Nicole tutted. Look at her: "Yvette…"

Yvette raised her hand and surrendered: "ok, when I said nonsense, I congratulate you too!"

They joked and laughed for a while.

They heard someone talking and laughing outside and pushed the door in.

It was Lumi and several assistants.

Lumi was wearing a white wedding dress, and her whole body was bright and dazzling.

Looking at a few people in the room, she smiled: "Am I disturbing you?"

Nicole smiled, stood up and hugged her gently: "Why, you are the most beautiful bride today. You are the protagonist wherever you go!"

Julie also went over to hug and say Hi!

Yvette and Lumi didn't know each other very well, so they just shook hands lightly.

The assistant smiled and said, "The bride is going to put on makeup, sit here."

Ian smiled and walked behind Lumi, "You've worked hard, I'll go to the front to toast first."

Lumi nodded with a smile nod.

The harmony between the two seems to have come together because of love.

Ian turned around and looked at them: "How about you?"

Yvette stood up immediately: "I'm going too, my mother should be here soon, I have to pick her up early."

Ian nodded.

Just as Nicole was about to go out, she heard Lumi laugh and leave her:

"Nicole, can you help me with my makeup?"

Nicole paused, then nodded.

She and Lumi knew each other very well. She married Ian, and their contacts in the future would only become closer.

Julie also found an excuse to go out.

In the room.

Lumi asked her assistant to prepare the other dresses, and she would change them later. She chose makeup first.

When only Nicole and her were left, Lumi looked at her and smiled.

"Do you think it's unbelievable?"

Nicole nodded, but shook his head again.

"I thought you two were a bit tricky at first, but I didn't expect it to be so fast."

Lumi rubbed her lower abdomen: "Of course it's because of the child. It was the accident that happened to me. Ian and I didn't plan to hide it. It doesn't sound good to say it out loud, but when we live behind closed doors, we'll be happy."

Seeing her bad attitude, Nicole almost laughed. "Ian has a good reputation, so aren't you afraid to be like Samuel?"

Lumi smiled and shook her head, "Ian is different from Samuel, he is single-minded…"

Nicole twitched the corners of his mouth. "Do you mean that Ian knows the same person I know?"

Ian's girlfriends can all form a 100-member chorus.

Lumi paused and looked at her meaningfully: "Because the only person he has always liked is you."

Nicole froze and fell silent.

The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment.

She and Ian can only be friends and cannot go further.

They can be friends for a long time, but they will never be in love for a long time.

She is very clear, so she has always been measured.

Lumi stretched out her hand and shook Nicole's hand: "But from now on, he will always like me, I believe in him."

Nicole paused, "I have nothing with him…"

"I know that if you had any thoughts about him, he would not be so willing to get married now, so I am very grateful to you. I don't mind that you will always be friends, that's what I want to say." Lumi was very calm to say what was in her heart.

It was never a secret that Ian liked Nicole.

It's just that his liking is not precious because of the girlfriends who come and go around him.

But Lumi understood that the existence of those girlfriends was a curtain to hide his affection, so he couldn't see or understand.

Nicole smiled and nodded.

Lumi was a rare person who was confused and the most sober.

She was so specific that the initial embarrassment disappeared.

It feels more pleasing to see her.

The assistant had already finished arranging her clothes, and Lumi's makeup had also been chosen.

She smiled with anticipation on her face: "I deliberately chose today, Samuel will not come out to make trouble, I hope to get married today!"

Nicole twitched the corners of her mouth.

Get married?

What is this to expect?

Her phone rang, it was Clayton.

She Paused. She immediately walked aside with a smile to answer the phone: "Hello, Mr. Sloan?"

There was a moment of silence on the phone.

"Why do you call me?"

Clayton asked, with a bit of silence in his voice.

Nicole paused, then looked around to see that no one was there, and Lumi didn't pay attention to her either.

She then coughed in relief:

"Husband…"

Clayton's voice was filled with a warm smile: "Baby, I've only missed you after being separated for such a short time, do you want to take pity on you? Me, hurry back to me?"

Nicole couldn't control the upward curvature of the corner of her mouth: "Okay, I miss you too, I'll go out now."

After speaking, she turned to leave.

Seeing Lumi getting goosebumps all over the place. She smiled lightly, forget it, just look at it.

She has her own husband, so she won't pay attention to other people's husbands.

She Opened the door. Just looking at Clayton standing tall and straight, with a smile in his eyes, his eyes light and light, his hands are open.

Nicole smiled, and fluttered in his arms like a bird. She deeply felt that she was definitely poisoned by Clayton.

Since the undressing incident, she couldn't help but want to get close to him, kiss him and hold him high. The more of these, the better.

But she didn't want to be too obvious, so as not to make him cock his tail proudly.

So she got out of his arms, tidied up her clothes, and looked at him arrogantly: "You think I'm too strict, I also need a private space!"

Clayton smiled and turned the man Hold tight, her chin is against his forehead, and her tone is lightly stroked like a feather: "Then what should I do? I really don't want to leave you for a second!"
