Clayton sighed with relief, but he felt that things might not be that simple.
Otherwise, why would Nicole be so out of character last night?
He stroked Nicole’s hair. His gentle tone was somewhat sullen.
"Nicole, I can tell you everything frankly, so you shouldn't hide anything from me, okay?"
Nicole looked at him and was silent for a few seconds. She nodded her head.
"It's really nothing. Eric just drank one too many and was talking nonsense. I found out about your bankruptcy from him. At that time, I was anxious and angry, so I lost my temper with you. I’m sorry...”
By the end of the sentence, her voice got smaller.
Clayton also fell silent for a few seconds. His gaze was increasingly guilty and gentle as he looked at her.
"I'm the one who's sorry. I should've told you in advance..."
Nicole took a deep breath.
"But I wasn't that worried. I was just angry that you hid it from me."
Clayton smiled and reached out to tuck her hair behind her ear.
"Really? If I go bankrupt, I won’t be able to marry you..."
His voice was clear. He sounded like he was joking, and he seemed a bit frivolous.
Nicole was stunned and looked away. Her ears unconsciously felt a little hot.
Clayton's words made her heart beat much faster.
However, Nicole quickly restrained herself. She looked a little arrogant as she subconsciously touched her ears and looked at him.
"Who said I want to marry you? Even if you're broke, I can still afford to support you..."
Nicole never lost in terms of financial power.
Clayton was dumbfounded. He suddenly laughed.
He did not expect Nicole to answer like this.
