The blood instantly drained from Clayton's face.
Nicole also stood there in shock, not expecting that her confession would make things even more unmanageable.
"Dad..."
"Shut up!”
Floyd shouted. His face was livid as he pointed at Kai o n the side and ordered him.
"What are you still standing there for? Get him out of m y room!"
Kai paused and did not dare to speak for Clayton. Instead, Kai went up and patted Clayton's shoulder. " Let's go out and wait."
Clayton had underestimated the Stanton family's desire to protect Nicole and had overestimated his standing in Floyd's heart.
To Floyd, what Clayton did was the same as a scumbag.
The good image that Clayton had built in the past collapsed in an instant.
Clayton pursed his lips, glanced at Floyd, and wanted t o say something, but he shut up and finally glanced at Nicole worriedly and regretfully.
If this matter brought Nicole any harm, then he would feel guilty forever.
Nicole smiled at Clayton reassuringly to show him that said she was fine.
Clayton's heart felt even worse.
He wanted to stay back and face Floyd's wrath with her, but staying would anger Floyd even more, which would kill all his chances.
Clayton felt like he was at the end of his rope.
Kai thoughtfully closed the door.
Nicole stood there with a pale face. "Dad, why did you lose your temper?"
