The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 1070

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 b y 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 b y 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.
