Clayton smiled.
"Don't worry. I won't be that stupid."
He went downstairs.
Clayton saw that the butler was asking the servants to set the table.
"Clayton, have dinner before you leave."
Floyd spoke from the living room.
Kai narrowed his eyes. "You're finally willing to leave?"
A pillow was thrown at Kai's head, followed by a warning look.
Kai closed his mouth.
Clayton smiled. "I'm relieved that Nicole is fine. I still have some things to take care of."
Floyd nodded. "Alright."
Clayton said, "I'll take my leave."
Floyd paused. "Clayton, Nicole's incident has nothing t o do with you, so don't blame yourself. We know how you feel about Nicole. As long as she's doing well, we won't care about anything else."
Clayton's expression changed a few times. He could hear the meaning of Floyd's words.
The corners of his lips curled up, and Clayton nodded slightly before silently lifting his feet to leave.
Kai narrowed his eyes. "You really don't care?"
Floyd looked at Kai.
Without speaking, Floyd went to the table and prepared to eat.
Maverick stood up like a shadow from a chair not far away.
He stretched.
"Compared to Eric in the past, Clayton is so much better. At least Nicole doesn't have to chase after him. He's the one who runs after Nicole..."
Maverick finished speaking and went over to the table.
Kai suddenly understood.
Sure enough, Maverick was a genius.
Even his understanding of life was more thorough than Kai's.
"But, Mav, why did you suddenly come back? Doesn't your research institute only give you time off at the end of the year?"
Kai questioned.
Maverick pushed his gold-framed glasses and spoke calmly.
