The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2344

Clayton pursed his lips. “Mr. Churchill, I’d like to thank you for taking care of Nicole during this time. I heard that the project went well?”

Euan paused and changed the subject.

“Yes, indeed. The government has created some policies to support the reconstruction of the area after the earthquake, so it went smoother than expected. Now, the project has started to make a profit...”

They had a pleasant meal.

In the end, Clayton was not bothered to listen to Euan’s drunken talk, so he stood up and went to the window to get some fresh air.

Nicole sat there patiently and looked at Euan with a smile.

Euan was a chatterbox and could talk with any woman with ease.

In the end, Euan glanced at Clayton and looked away.

He leaned forward cautiously and said, “Ms. Stanton, I heard gossip two days ago. Do you want to know what it is?”

“Nope.”

“I’ll tell you anyway. A buddy of mine saw Eric Ferguson in the hospital two days ago. Do you know what he was doing? He was donating blood!”

Euan was slightly drunk and eagerly sharing gossip with Nicole.

“This doesn’t seem like the Eric Ferguson I know. He’s kind enough not to draw other people’s blood. Why would he donate blood to others? My friend even went to inquire about it. Eric was donating blood to a married woman...”

While he was speaking, Nicole’s face turned pale slightly. However, she looked away and interrupted his words.

“Mr. Churchill, you seem so regretful. You wouldn’t be interested in Eric, would you?”

Euan was taken aback. His face turned pale.

“No way! I don’t like guys like him. I just think you’ll feel better knowing that he isn’t doing well now. Forget what I said if you don’t like to hear it.”

“Whether he’s doing well or not has nothing to do with me. Change the subject of gossip next time.”

Nicole's voice was calm, with a little frivolity. She was not angry either.

Clayton came back and asked with a smile.

“What gossip?”

Euan’s eyes flickered slightly, and he did not dare to say anything.

After all, it was not wise to talk about the ex in front of someone’s husband.

Nicole raised her eyebrows.

“Mr. Churchill has just guaranteed that the profit will double next year.”

Clayton raised his eyebrows. “Mr. Churchill, I hope you keep your word.”

After dinner, Nicole and Clayton did not drive because they drank.

The restaurant was not far from their apartment, so Clayton wanted to walk home. Nicole did not refuse either.

The two walked hand in hand on the sidewalk.

The man was handsome while the woman was gorgeous and graceful. They matched each other well.

Nicole did not dare to walk any faster because she wanted to follow Clayton’s pace. She hugged his arm and shrank her neck.

“Are you cold?”

“No.”

Clayton stuffed her hand into his coat pocket. His side profile under the warm street light was gentle and good-looking.

“What did you talk about with Euan earlier?”

Nicole knew she could not fool Clayton.

She pursed her lips and said, “Euan said that Eric donated blood to a married woman in the hospital. No one knows what he’s up to…”

Clayton’s hands tightened. He seemed to ponder for a few seconds before he chuckled.

“Most likely, he wanted to make up for his guilt. That way, it would make him feel better.”

Nicole did not know if it was possible.

She smiled indifferently. “Anyway, I’d love to see him start a new life.”

“Me too.”

Clayton agreed.

Eric kept eyeing his wife. If Eric started a new life with someone else, Clayton could finally let down his guard!

The two of them walked until Nicole got tired.

After all, it was not comfortable wearing high heels.
