The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 1146

Clayton smiled and stared straight ahead.

Nicole said, "You're lucky to get him!"

Clayton chuckled and said, "Susan took care of Michael since he’s a baby. She used to work for the Sloan family and has a good relationship with Michael's biological father. When I left the Sloan family, Susan quit her job and followed me to take care of Michael.”

Nicole nodded. "No wonder you guys trust her..."

Clayton's gaze darkened slightly.

"Because many times before, Susan found out that someone was secretly trying to harm Michael. I was distracted at the time, and if it wasn't for her, I don't know what would’ve happened..."

The atmosphere was heavy all of a sudden.

Nicole sort of regretted mentioning this topic.

Fortunately, they soon arrived at the apartment.

Clayton carried two bags effortlessly and got on the elevator.

Nicole pressed the button to their floor. Clayton raised his eyebrows and did not make a sound.

Soon, they arrived at Clayton’s door.

Clayton opened the door, and Nicole followed him in.

He had just entered the kitchen when Nicole walked over.

"Why don't you go and take a nap? I'll cook.”

Clayton was a little surprised.

Nicole smiled, took his hand, and pushed him out.

"Don’t worry, I won’t blow up your kitchen. You haven't slept all day, so go rest for a while.”

Although Clayton chatted with her in high spirits on the way home, it was not hard for Nicole to notice the tired look on his face.

Nicole did not want to cook, but she felt like it was acceptable to cook a meal for him.

Clayton smiled, took her hand, and squeezed it.

"If I had known you were gonna cook, I would’ve just eaten out."

Seeing that Nicole's expression changed, Clayton immediately added, "Because I'm afraid that you'll get tired. How can I let Ms. Stanton do such tedious chores?”

Nicole's expression instantly turned lighter as she curled the corners of her lips.

"Then you're really blessed today for me to cook for you! You just need to look forward to it."
