Nicole and Selena looked at each other and laughed in a tacit understanding.
Clayton was confused about this gossip that had no context. He also did not know what was so funny about it.
Why were the ladies laughing so happily at the thought of running over one’s husband?
It was incomprehensible.
When Nicole laughed, Clayton’s heart skipped a beat. He feared that she would learn this from Selena.
Clayton coughed and calmly changed the subject.
“Isn’t Julie here already? Why don’t you follow her to the set to see what’s going on?”
Nicole paused and turned her head with a smile.
“Nah, it’s boring. I’m not going.”
Clayton was speechless.
The set could no longer attract Nicole.
The elevator arrived at Selena’s floor, so Selena politely said goodbye to Nicole.
Nicole waved her hand. “If you need help, just let me know, okay?”
“Okay. Thank you.”
Selena smiled.
Nicole gave Clayton a strange look.
She felt like something was wrong with him.
Clayton never interrupted her conversation with others.
“What’s up with you today?”
“Why is Selena so happy about running over her husband?”
Clayton asked the doubt in his heart and gave Nicole a meaningful look.
“You shouldn’t learn from her.”
The corners of her mouth twitched, and she could not help but laugh. She went over and grabbed his shoulders as she trembled with laughter.
“Why are you so cute? Are you afraid that I’ll run you over too?”
Clayton raised his eyebrows and glanced at her.
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
Nicole had a good laugh before she told him about Selena’s situation.
Clayton’s expression eased, but he did not say anything.
Nicole asked, “Don’t you feel sorry for her?”
“Nope.”
Clayton spoke without emotion.
Nicole wanted to say something when the elevator arrived.
They saw Julie waiting at the elevator, happily stretching out her hands.
“The fondue arrived before you two! You really can read my mind!”
Nicole smiled happily and got distracted.
“Of course! I knew you’d like it!”
The two ladies walked in as they talked and laughed, completely forgetting about Clayton.
Clayton did not mind this and followed them slowly.
In the ward, Kai lay weakly on the bed. His face was pale, and he was clearly suffering.
However, this did not make him look any less handsome. On the contrary, he looked even better because of the added fragility.
Kai looked at the people who came in and muttered in dissatisfaction.
“You monsters! How could you eat such delicious food in front of me when I’m sick and bedridden? Are you here to visit me, or are you hoping that I’ll die faster?”
The waiter had already set up the fondue pot on the table.
The ward was decorated nicely, and every piece of furniture was carefully selected.
Kai watched as they talked and laughed. All he could do was grit his teeth with hatred.
Forget about the two girls, what about Clayton?
Clayton was supposed to be his gentle and humble brother-in-law!
However, Clayton smiled and sat at the dining table, ready to dig in.
Since Clayton did not like to eat cheesy foods, he ordered a meat fondue for himself.
