The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2297

Roland’s eyes were red as he spoke, and he did not finish his sentence.

How could Clayton not know these things?

Roland walked over excitedly and watched as Clayton limped down the stairs with a cane. Roland was shocked.

He thought, ‘What happened to Mr. Sloan’s leg?’

Roland’s face stiffened.

Clayton looked indifferent and had no change in expression.

A waitress who was in uniform and had a good figure quickly went over to Clayton when she saw this.

“Sir…”

Clayton glanced at Kira indifferently and looked away.

The waitress withdrew her hand, looked at Clayton worriedly, and stepped aside.

Roland blinked and suddenly realized something.

He remembered Nicole’s expression when she told him that Clayton was still alive.

Suddenly, Roland pursed his lips.

There was a bit of silence in the air.

Clayton came down the stairs slowly and steadily. He looked at Roland blankly and walked to the area behind the divider.

“Follow me.”

Roland hurriedly followed Clayton.

He looked at Clayton’s tall and straight back and noticed that Clayton’s gait was no longer brisk.

Clayton looked like he was shrouded in sadness and decadence, and he seemed to have aged considerably.

He should not look like this.

Suddenly, Roland felt his eyes getting a little sore.

Clayton sat by the window and happened to see the extremely unique and detailed landscape in the courtyard.

He was silent for a moment before he thought of Roland.

Roland was still standing there, at a loss.

Clayton raised his chin and pointed to the chair opposite him.

“Have a seat.”

Roland silently walked over and sat down. He raised his eyes and could not help but say, “Mr. Sloan, when did you come back? We thought that you...”

Before he finished speaking, Clayton curled his lips.

“Thought I was dead?”

Roland was silent.

“Well, not everyone. Your wife never believed that you were dead.”

Clayton’s face froze slightly.

Roland suddenly remembered the waitress with the good figure from earlier.

There was something between her and Clayton that made it seem like she was not an ordinary employee.

Roland immediately felt sorry and indignant for Nicole.

He felt that it was wrong for Clayton to do so.

Clayton should have returned to his original life just based on what Nicole did for him. Not to mention, he had a family and responsibilities.

How could Clayton hook up with a waitress with a good figure and a mediocre face? It was an insult to Nicole!

Roland did not expect Clayton to be such a shallow person.

The more Roland thought about it, the angrier he became. He misunderstood the situation.

In a fit of anger, Roland said, “Back then when you were missing, Ms. Stanton couldn’t sleep for several days. If her family hadn’t taken her back, I don’t think she would be able to survive. After a while, she finally got better. I heard that she went to see a psychiatrist too. Mr. Sloan, you don’t understand how difficult it was for her to survive while taking care of her daughter. None of us dared to mention your name in front of her. I didn’t even dare to appear in front of her often. How could you suddenly show up without saying a thing? How could you not contact her when you were safe? Why did you make her worry for so long?”

The more Roland spoke, the paler Clayton’s face became. Finally, his face was paper white.

Roland suddenly stopped talking.

Clayton looked to be in pain.
