The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 573

Clayton immediately changed the topic.

The two of them talked for a while. Nicole also asked about Lil Michael's recent situation.

After hearing that Nicole had sent him a whole box of test papers, Lil Michael was so angry that he cried the whole night. Clayton could not even coax him to sleep.

Gradually, the atmosphere between them felt relaxed.

While they were laughing, a waiter's welcome greeting sounded a bit abrupt.

A few seconds later, a cold gaze stared at the two people from the window.

Nicole only felt a chill from behind. Before she could react, a cold, hard arm suddenly landed on her shoulders and wrapped around her waist without allowing her to resist as the man sat next to her.

She was slightly stunned. Eric had a smile on his face, but his dark eyes stared at her intently. He gritted his teeth as he said, "What a coincidence, baby..."

That nickname made the temperature around them plunge to freezing point in an instant.

Nicole looked at him coldly. "Let go."

"Nicole!" He suppressed the raging emotions under his eyes and said her name in a low voice.

'Why is she so heartless? I've already been so humble, yet she still rejected all my invites for breakfast, lunch, and dinner several days in a row. Now, she’s actually free to have dinner with Clayton Sloan?! Does that mean she just doesn't want to eat with me? Ugh!'

Eric was so vexed that he could not stand it any longer.

Across the table, Clayton's eyes darkened. He laughed t o break the awkward silence.

"Mr. Ferguson, there are people around watching us, s o please show some respect to Ms. Stanton."

Eric came out for dinner with many people behind him.

It just so happened that he ran into these two here.

Eric's gaze sank. He felt like he was quenched in ice. H e gritted his teeth and slowly withdrew his hand from her waist.

He needed to respect Nicole in public. Otherwise, it would just make Clayton seem like the more sensible person among them.

"Mr. Sloan, you’re so free to disregard your business and always put your attention on the wrong place."

Eric was implying something.
