The living room seemed to be silent for a moment.
Clayton reacted and looked serious for a moment before he smiled at Yvette.
"Ms. Quimbey, you're overthinking it. I just don’t want my beloved to see me looking so haggard. That will just reduce my charm!”
Nicole laughed and looked back at Yvette.
"Yvette, don't scare him. Lil Michael will pick up on all the wrong things..."
Yvette snorted and did not want to dwell on it anymore. She turned around and went back into the kitchen.
Lil Michael came over and pried Clayton's hand off of Nicole. He held up his arm that was in a cast and looked at Clayton with a straight face.
"Daddy, when Pretty Lady went to pick me up from the hospital today..."
Lil Michael chattered continuously as Clayton patiently waited for him to finish without interrupting him.
Nicole went to the kitchen to prepare some fruit and gave Yvette a hand. She felt embarrassed for letting Yvette cook for several people.
Yvette glanced outside and leaned in close to Nicole." What I just said is not a joke! You have to be more careful!"
Nicole gave her a look.
"He won't do something like that. You're thinking too much."
Nicole knew very well what kind of person Clayton was.
She also knew that if Clayton were to have an affair, it was useless to be on guard.
Nicole was not a clingy person.
The best way to deal with a relationship that had no future was to stop it in time.
However, Clayton would not betray Nicole.
Yvette shook her head. "You can't just look at the surface, and you can't just focus on the present. Even the best men have weaknesses."
She wanted to continue talking, but Clayton had already come to the door as he rolled up his sleeves.
"Let me help..."
Nicole saw his long and strong forearms and smiled.
"Mr. Sloan, you must be tired after a business trip. Why don't you take a good rest first?"
