Nicole felt like a feather brushed over her heart. It was gentle and restrained, but with a surging and rich love.
Clayton was happy yet careful.
Nicole was stunned for a moment as she did not seem to expect Clayton to make such a quick comeback again. However, his kiss carried a light scent of fresh grass that she could not help but indulge in.
In less than a second, Clayton took a step back. The intense love in his eyes was suppressed and restrained.
His eyes were light as he held a faint smile. His voice was warm and clear, like a spring breeze brushing through her heart.
"Nicole, do you know how to completely forget a person?”
Nicole's body was tense. Her face was slightly cold, and her obsidian eyes were dark and heavy.
She did not want to indulge in the warm embrace of a man she did not know too well.
Thus, her tone carried a warning and detachment. "M r. Sloan..."
Clayton interrupted her. His eyebrows were sunken." It’s to fall in love with another person."
He told her the answer straightforwardly.
Nicole’s heart trembled fiercely, as if her unseen emotions that were suppressed at the bottom of her heart were crushed into dust.
Clayton could see it clearly.
Nicole's feelings for Eric were so complex that even she did not know exactly what it was.
She used to love Eric so deeply like a moth to a flame.
Even though her heart was ashen, Eric saved her time and time again, and his words of remorse and love still felt like rocks smashing into her heart.
Eric once again barged into her world without question, wanting to redeem himself and apologize.
Nicole heard it, but she dared not and could not respond.
She struggled and hesitated, but in the end, her resentment still took the upper hand.
How could she let herself become a joke?
The pain Eric brought her was enough to sober her up for life.
One would be lucky to meet and have love in their life, but without love, it was not necessarily unfortunate.
Therefore, Nicole did not want to have expectations of anyone anymore, including Clayton.
