The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 425

Eric's gaze trembled slightly as he sat there with his chest heaving.

'Everything I've carefully prepared lost to this kid's handful of diamonds?! How could Clayton Sloan have such a prodigal son?!'

Nicole looked shocked and did not know what to say. These diamonds should be kept well in the safe, but Lil Michael casually put them in his pocket like common marbles.

She chuckled and looked at this ignorant and naive Lil Michael helplessly.

"You should put these back where you got them. I can’t accept it."

Lil Michael twisted his tiny body and pouted unhappily. He pulled Nicole's hand and asked, "Pretty Lady, you don't like it? I have bigger ones!"

Nicole was once again rendered speechless.

'How should I explain this to a kid?'

She laughed and kept it in her purse.

"I like it, but don't give it away like this next time."

Nicole would just return it to Clayton the next time she saw him.

Seeing that Nicole accepted his gift, Lil Michael beamed in joy. 'No wonder the nanny said that this won’t go wrong!’

Lil Michael tilted his head with a smile. "Okay, I’ll listen to you, Pretty Lady. I’ll give you something better next time! Men can’t be too stingy, don’t you think so, Mean Mister?"

Eric's thin lips were tightly pressed into a straight line. He was exuding extremely cold vibes.

'Is this little brat mocking me?! I bought this restaurant for Nicole and wanted to name it after her, but I can't say it now... Now I'm petty?! Ugh!!'

Lil Michael felt a great sense of achievement when he managed to anger Eric.

'Although Mean Mister is injured, it still doesn't affect my bad impression of him! He’s just a bad guy who wants to steal my pretty lady!’ 1

Eric was so annoyed and did not want to say another word. Such a nice atmosphere was ruined by this little brat.

All the conversational topics Toto prepared for him were useless in the face of this giant third wheel.

When the dishes were served, Nicole was in a good mood and happily helped Michael with his plate. The two of them got along so well. Nicole was very patient with kids, especially a kid who was so cute to naively give her a handful of diamonds.

Eric’s cold gaze was fixed on the two of them. After a while, he could not stand it and finally spoke.

"Nicole, I'm a little upset.”

Eric thought that it was better to say it out loud than t o hold it in.

What was more, Toto told him that the most important thing between two people was honesty.

He was indeed very upset.

If things went as planned, Nicole would turn her attention to him.
