The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2010

Eric turned his head slowly and remained silent after the phone call.

No matter how much Quinn cried or complained, Eric kept quiet.

Quinn gradually understood Eric's attitude, so she lowered her voice and sobbed.

The next day.

The sunlight shone on Nicole's face through the curtains.

Nicole slowly opened her eyes.

She had a good dream last night.

Nicole subconsciously reached out her hand and felt a muscular arm next to her.

She paused and looked back.

Clayton was still sleeping next to her.

He slept so soundly that even her disturbance did not wake him up.

It was obvious that Clayton had not slept well for a long time.

Nicole instantly felt heartbroken.

Clayton frowned slightly. He seemed to be dreaming.

Nicole reached out and touched his face.

His handsome face was a little thinner.

She sighed and cuddled next to him.

After she woke up, her lungs felt much better, and she did not cough as much.

It was probably the medicine taking effect.

She only had a slight pain in her ribs.

However, it was not to the point of being unbearable.

Clayton subconsciously wrapped her in his arms and showed no signs of waking up.

They just stayed like this for a while until someone lightly and rhythmically knocked on the door.

Nicole paused. She could not get out of bed, so she coughed lightly.

The person outside quietly opened the door. "Mr. Sloan?"

Nicole said, "What’s the matter?”

The man did not come in but replied respectfully from the outside.

"Madam, Mr. Grant Stanton is calling. Can you please ask Mr. Sloan to answer the call?"

Clayton had probably instructed his subordinate to pay special attention to Grant's call.

Otherwise, his subordinate could have rejected the call straight away.

Nicole paused and glanced sideways at Clayton.

Clayton's sleep seemed to be disturbed as he was frowning slightly.

He placed one hand on his forehead and frowned. He was waking up.

It was already too late for Nicole to ask the subordinate to go out.

Nicole touched Clayton's face lightly.

"Hubby?"

Clayton responded, opened his eyes quickly, looked at her fondly, :b,;PIS= subconsciously kissed her on the lips.

"Good morning, baby."

Nicole indulged in his good morning kiss, but she did not forget that there was still someone standing at the door.

She did not like others to watch her being intimate with Clayton.

Thus, when Clayton wanted to continue and deepen the kiss, Nicole pushed him away.

"Someone's calling you."

Clayton finally pulled back, frowned, sat up, and leaned back lazily.

“Who?"

The person at the door repeated it again.

"Mr. Sloan, it's Mr. Grant Stanton's call."

Clayton opened his eyes, lifted the quilt, got out of bed, and walked out.

He would not let anyone come in and see Nicole in this disheveled state.

Clayton walked back in with the phone.

Grant already hung up, so he called back.

It was a video call.

Grant was also waiting for his call and picked up in a few seconds.

"Clayton?"

Clayton raised his eyebrows, composed himself, and put on a warm smile.

"It's me, Big Brother.”

He smiled and handed the phone to Nicole.

"Do you wanna say hello?"

Nicole did not wash her face yet, so she glared at Clayton reluctantly.

Fortunately, it was only Grant, who was a man that would not notice such details.

Nicole smiled. "Good morning, Big Brother!"

Grant stared at the screen for a few seconds, backed up slightly, and nodded.
