The two men shopped until the mall closed, and they carried many bags with them.
Roland felt that he had never been so attentive to his girlfriend before.
Now, a wave of guilt arose.
However, the guilt soon disappeared.
That was because Roland did not want to go through this again.
Clayton was satisfied and sent a video to Nicole.
"I bought everything on your list except a limitededition lipstick. They say that it'll arrive tomorrow, so I’ll come back tomorrow to get it."
Soon, Nicole replied with a thumbs-up emoji.
Clayton instantly smiled with joy.
It was worth the pain and suffering!
At night.
Clayton looked at some documents for a while and could not resist taking the initiative to contact Nicole.
Although they were not on great terms when he left on this business trip, after Nicole took the initiative to call him, the trace of gloom in Clayton's heart disappeared completely.
Clayton thought, 'So what if we don't get married? It's also fine if we're in a relationship forever. As long as she's willing, why should I strongly demand anything? If she’s not willing to get married, it just means that I haven’t done enough. Then I should do better.'
The video call was connected.
Nicole was putting on a mask and looked at him without any expression.
"Everything okay over there?"
Clayton smiled and shook his head. "Shouldn’t you ask if I’m okay?"
Nicole laughed. "Then are you okay?"
"Not good.”
"How come?"
"Because I miss you too much, so I just feel down. I’ve lived here for more than twenty years, but when I came here today, I feel that the air here isn't fresh anymore..."
Clayton honestly poured out his heart. He thought that he was such a great actor.
When Nicole heard this, she laughed and tore off her mask. Her face was glistening and smooth.
"Mr. Sloan, your position is not firm enough..."
