In the study.
Clayton patiently waited for Floyd to change his clothes and stood there humbly.
Floyd looked at him and sat on the sofa.
"Sit."
Clayton thought about it before taking a seat.
He repeated to Floyd what he told Nicole.
This time, Clayton felt as if his heart was not as heavy when he talked about it.
When he spoke, it was like he was talking about someone else.
It turned out that pain could really be alleviated and eliminated.
Clayton finished speaking and looked at Floyd quietly.
The room got colder.
It was different from facing Nicole. Floyd’s compassion and forbearance were special cases when facing his family.
In fact, Floyd was a very serious person when he was facing outsiders, just like now.
Clayton did not even dare to breathe heavily.
As time passed, Clayton’s heart grew even more apprehensive, and he could not help but become a little nervous.
It was silent and repressed like he was waiting for a verdict.
After a while, Floyd spoke. His voice was very light but still majestic.
"Clayton, you saved Nicole's life, so you're our family's benefactor. I should thank you for that. However, I don’t want to use my daughter to thank you. Do you understand?"
Clayton pursed his lips tightly.
He nodded.
Of course, he understood.
"I actually don’t really approve of you two being together. A simpler person would be more suitable for Nicole. The person I think more highly of is Ian Carter. Although Ian lacks the ability and doesn't have many prospects, it's clear at a glance that he likes Nicole.”
Floyd sighed. "Unfortunately, Nicole has no interest in him, and he fails to live up to expectations."
Clayton's face turned slightly unpleasant.
He forgot that Ian Carter was among the four people who went to watch the meteor shower.
