Clayton looked at her so deeply that her face turned as red as a tomato. Her heart skipped a beat.
Nicole pursed her lips. She gritted her teeth to control her emotions and suddenly reached out to push him away.
"You can't."
'Did he really expect me to happily say, "sure, go ahead" to that kind of question? Clayton's gentlemanly manners are really frustrating, but it's also heartwarming...' Nicole thought.
Immediately after she spoke, Clayton's eyes darkened for a moment. His throat bobbed, and in that instant, she felt like the burning fire in his entire body had been extinguished.
Nicole's heart thumped.
Clayton suddenly lowered his eyes and gradually backed away.
The next second, Nicole reached out and grabbed his collar, yanking him forward.
Clayton was stunned for a moment, but Nicole hesitated for only a split second before leaning forward.
It was just the lightest peck on his lips before she suddenly pushed him away again.
Nicole added, "But I can."
The man's expression suddenly became brighter.
The light in his eyes was dazzling as he looked at her. " Of course, you can. You can do whatever you want to your boyfriend."
Nicole was not repulsed by him, nor was she backtracking.
When she glared at him, he suddenly understood and touched her hair with a smile.
"It's okay, we can take it slow. I'll give you time to get used to it, Nicole.”
Nicole smiled and was just about to say something when her phone suddenly rang.
Clayton brought it to her. Nicole took a look and saw that it was Grant calling.
She did not tell Clayton to leave and simply answered i t.
"Big Brother?"
Grant said a few words and then hung up.
Nicole blinked. "Grant says he’ll pick us up."
