The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2075

Clayton’s lips could not help but curl up when he said that. He looked radiant and did not feel restrained at all.

He seemed like he was proudly showing off.

One of Clayton's close friends stood up and said, "Just as well. Ms. Stanton has quite a reputation in Atlanta. We should've gone to visit her. Why don’t we go out and say hello?"

"That’s right, Mr. Sloan. Let's go out and say hello to your wife. You won't mind, right?"

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Clayton raised his eyebrows.

"Of course, I don’t mind!"

Clayton took his jacket and walked out with a few people behind him.

When they got to the downstairs lobby, they did not see Nicole. However, Kai stood there looking tall and slender as he asked the waiter about the latest gossip.

Clayton paused and swept a glance. He could not see Nicole anywhere.

He was about to walk past Kai when Kai beckoned to him.

"Brother-in-law, my sister asked me to pick you up! Shall we go?"

Kai swaggered over, nodded to the people behind Clayton, and put one hand on Clayton’s shoulder.

Clayton froze.

He frowned and took a deep look at Kai.

Everyone at the back stood there in astonishment.

Kai looked at Clayton inexplicably and winked.

"Why? Are you upset that I came to pick you up? My sister asked me to come, and you know that I can't say no to her.”

Kai shrugged his shoulders to express his helplessness.

Clayton’s face gradually stiffened.

He looked a little aggrieved.

The people behind him hurriedly stepped forward to help ease the situation.

"Sigh... Ms. Stanton must be too busy. Shall we meet next time?"

"That's right. I didn't prepare any gifts for her, so it'll be too rude."

They liked to joke around, but no one dared

to make fun of Clayton.

Kai could not help but laugh and greeted the people behind Clayton.

"Then I'll take my brother-in-law home. Goodbye, everyone!"

Kai held Clayton's shoulder and left.

Sitting in Kai's convertible sports car, Clayton was so depressed that he had no interest in looking at the car.

Kai touched his forehead when he saw that Clayton was silent.

“Brother-in-law, did you have too much to drink?”

Clayton said in a low voice, "Not really.

Thanks for picking me up, Third Brother."

Kai raised his eyebrows. "It's nothing since I was just in the area. Anyway, this isn't the first time I ran err=e)>VKQ

Kai babbled all the way back to the Stanton Mansion.

Clayton pushed the door open and got out of the car without saying a word.

The Stanton Mansion was brightly lit.

Nicole put on a face mask and sat on the sofa, watching the news.

Chatty was jumping up and down with Floyd. When she saw Clayton coming in, she simply ditched Floyd and ran toward Clayton.

"Daddy!”

Her baby voice was so soft that it swept away Clayton’s gloom from earlier.

Clayton squatted down and picked up the little girl to give her a light kiss.

"Chatty is such a good girl!"

The little girl happily hugged her dad’s neck and did not let go. She was very energetic.

Nicole heard the commotion, tore off her face mask, stood up, went over, and reached out to hug Clayton.

"Hubby, you're back...”

Finally, Clayton’s expressionless face softened.

He glanced at her, put his arms around her waist, and said in a low voice, “We'll settle the score when we get home."

Nicole was speechless.

Kai sent Nicole a message to preempt her. That was how she knew that she had inadvertently provoked Clayton.

Mr. Anderson served Clayton a cup of hangover tea.

Clayton accepted the butler's good intentions and sat there to drink the tea before leaving.

They did not stay for long before Luca sent them back to the apartment.

Ever since Chatty could run, dance, and express her will independently, they could hardly control that little girl.

However, Chatty was very obedient in Clayton's arms.

Chatty struggled to get to Nicole. She was extraordinarily active today that Clayton had to forcefully carry her back, after which she tried to run off to another place.

Nicole smiled, pinched Chatty's cheek, and clicked her tongue.

"Are you happy?”

Chatty grinned. She was clearly elated.

Clayton glanced at Nicole, coughed, and was about to say something.

Nicole immediately moved over, leaned on Clayton, and said with a smile, "I wanted to pick you up earlier, but I couldn't bring Chatty, and I was reluctant to leave her. You won't blame me, right?"

Clayton glanced at Nicole and snorted. "No."

Nicole said, "Great!”

However, Nicole was too complacent.

She should not have believed what Clayton said.

Before they got home, Chatty exhausted her energy and fell asleep soundly in Clayton's arms.

Nicole watched as Clayton got out of the car carefully for fear of disturbing his precious daughter. She smiled and walked quickly to the front to open the door.

Mrs. Zoe had already gone to bed, so Clayton put Chatty in the adjacent room.

Nicole watched as he tucked Chatty under the quilt, then she went to the kitchen to get a glass of water.

After drinking a glass of water, Nicole also poured a glass for Clayton.

She felt that she was very attentive.

Nicole went to the bedroom with the glass of water, but as soon as she opened the door, she saw Clayton standing at the door, about to come out.

His collar was slightly open, revealing his protruding Adam's apple. Clayton, who was standing under the light, looked gentle and handsome as he looked down at her.

Nicole smiled and handed over the glass of water.
