The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 489

Tigger thought, 'How dare you question that I'm not a real tiger!'

It shook its tail and instantly felt that Lil Michael was not cute anymore.

Lil Michael frowned. To verify the tiger's authenticity, Lil Michael took a piece of beef jerky from the table and put it in Tigger's mouth.

"Eat it then, little tiger!"

Tigger desperately wanted to get rid of this kid's grasp, but it was too weak.

It felt so aggrieved.

Just when Nicole was about to help, Tigger waved his front paws in the air.

"I can't eat! I’m a fake tiger..."

Tigger’s dignity as a fierce tiger was swept down the drain because of a kid.

It shook its fur and rested in Lil Michael's arms speechlessly as it stared aggrievedly at Nicole.

'Mama didn't even help me...’

Nicole bowed her head and ate quietly.

Since Clayton had expressed interest in her before, Nicole tried her best to hide the trace of awkwardness she felt.

The two adults did not mention a word of what happened before so it was uncomfortable, but Clayton would occasionally place some dishes on Nicole and Lil Michael's plates attentively. Nicole also felt Clayton's brief lingering gaze on her.

She could only pretend as if nothing had happened.

After dinner, the father and son pair sent Nicole home.

Lil Michael was so tired that he fell asleep in the car.

Nicole got out of the car with Tigger in her arms. Clayton brought out the box for her and looked at her apologetically.

"Lil Michael still doesn’t understand that white chrysanthemums are bereavement flowers. I'll make sure to teach him properly next time."

Nicole chuckled. "It's okay. Children don't have malicious intent."

Clayton's smile was a little relaxed. "Will you like roses next time?"

He was testing the waters.

Nicole understood Clayton's meaning in an instant.

Roses were meant for lovers.

"I’d prefer cactus."

A cactus that rejects people.

Clayton raised an eyebrow and bowed his head as he

laughed.

"Okay, I'm good at catering to people's preferences.”

Meanwhile, at Imperial Gardens.

The husky pounced at Eric, who just got back.
