The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 1374

Nicole thought that the gentlemanly Clayton, who had always been content with just a little taste, was a man who was not charmed by women.

Since they started dating, Clayton had not done anything more than kissing and hugging her.

They had a platonic love.

It felt nice to not have a sexual relationship. They did not have to measure interests, nor would it lead to a series of irreversible situations.

After all, their identities were special. Every move they made would impact the huge capital behind them.

Thus, neither of them would easily go all out.

Nicole suddenly realized that Clayton, who looked like the perfect gentleman, was no different from other men once he lost control.

She blinked and waited for his answer.

Clayton's dark eyes sank. He looked at Nicole for a long time before he spoke frankly in a hoarse voice.

"Yes, I do."

Clayton really wanted to, but he also knew that Nicole was not just any woman.

Every move she made would be tied to the entire

Stanton family that backed her.

Before his prospects were certain, Clayton had to be responsible for her. Not a single thing could go wrong.

More importantly, Clayton did not want to put Nicole into the limelight of public opinion.

Once their relationship was truly announced to the public, people were bound to compare Clayton with Eric.

Clayton did not mind this.

What Clayton cared about was that he was not good enough for Nicole, that her taste in men would be criticized.

Clayton could not tolerate this.

After a long silence, Nicole breathed slowly and looked at him. The both of them stared at each other for a long time.

The office lights were lit, and they seemed to be the only ones left in the whole building.

Nicole lowered her eyes and pondered for a while.

Just as she was about to open her mouth to break the silence, the phone suddenly rang.

It was Nicole's phone that was on the desk.

The two people finally moved out of their rigid posture.

Clayton got up from her body and did not move. The light shone on his warm face, which made his

handsome features look even more sculpted and deep.

Nicole did not know if it was an illusion, but she felt like this time after Clayton came back, he had a hint o f coldness.
