In the end, Michael did not get to hug his pretty lady as he wished.
However, his pretty lady changed.
That was obvious.
Back then, Nicole was an aloof and stubborn career woman. She was so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off her.
Nicole was still bold and beautiful, but she was more gentle, radiant, and charming now.
It seemed that Clayton took good care of her.
Michael hugged Clayton reluctantly, looking listless.
To the side, Nicole laughed so hard that she clutched her belly.
Chatty and Fischer nervously and expectantly came over and looked up.
"Daddy, I want a hug..."
She opened her arms.
Clayton’s heart softened as he thought, 'My daughter is definitely better than my son...'
He immediately let go of Michael and was about to squat down to hug Chatty when Chatty twisted her body and threw herself onto Michael.
"Big Brother! Hugsies..."
Michael picked up Chatty with ease.
Chatty grinned happily. She looked so sweet like candy.
Clayton's arms were empty, and he looked at his precious daughter speechlessly.
Nicole laughed even louder.
Next to them, Fischer opened his arms and followed Chatty.
"Big Brother! Hugsies..."
Michael looked at Fischer with a frown.
Nicole explained, "This is Fischer Malone. You can call him Lil Fish. He's living here temporarily and is six years younger than you."
Fischer was two years older than Chatty, but he was as weak as little Chatty.
Michael nodded and patted Fischer's head.
"Boys don’t need hugs."
Fischer put down his arms in despair.
When Michael put Chatty down, Fischer hugged Chatty and refused to let go. He also looked so depressed.
Even Clayton could not stand it any longer.
Michael did not hug Fischer, but Fischer went to hug his daughter. What a guy!
Chatty was very protective of Fischer, her little follower.
She held Fischer's hand and insisted that Michael hugged him as well.
Michael was helpless. Under Clayton's oppressive gaze, Michael had no choice but to hug Fischer briefly.
However, to Fischer, it felt like an honor to be touched by his idol.
Fischer jumped up and down excitedly.
Michael hugged Fischer, so he naturally could not leave Levi behind.
Michael was very helpless. The three young children jumped up and chattered on.
Clayton forgot something and took the silver case in from the car.
When Nicole saw it, she turned to ask Michael, "Is this yours?"
Michael raised his chin.
"No, it's yours!”
He smiled and looked at his pretty lady.
"Gold in Europe has risen in value and is the most valuable commodity now. Daddy has always been stingy and certainly won't be so generous!"
Nicole paused and could not help but nod.
Michael was right. Clayton had never been so "generous".
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Nicole touched Michael's face and sighed a little.
"Our Lil Michael is all grown up now, but you have to change your taste."
Michael looked at her with a hurt and plaintive gaze.
Nicole smiled.
She said this more than once, but Michael never changed his habits.
If someone targeted him, he might be in a lot of danger.
Michael had his own room in the Stanton Mansion, and the furnishings inside remained untouched.
Everyone happily ate dinner together while Clayton and Floyd talked in a low voice.
The children also played happily.
Nicole packed up her things before she went downstairs.
The children were gathered together.
