Clayton looked at Nicole deeply as he held her hands i n his, steady and powerful.
"You don’t have to apologize, Nicole. I will explain it to them when it's necessary. Nothing is more important than you."
His eyes seemed to carry too much affection. Nicole's heart thumped violently. She could not help but want t o turn away, but she felt that it would be too deliberate.
She shook her head and hurriedly said, "I still think it's better to hide it. Unless Lil Michael himself senses that something is wrong, this secret can't be easily revealed.”
Sometimes, telling the truth was like destroying a person's world.
How could she bear to do that to the boy?
Clayton smiled and did not say anything. He was well aware of the situation.
Perhaps this secret could not be hidden for much longer.
However, Nicole's proposal was still heart-warming.
Clayton pushed her to the window to look at the scenery as he changed the water for the vase by the side. He was free earlier, so he took the chance to buy a bouquet of foxtail lilies from a florist not far away.
The fragrance was rather pleasant.
Nicole did not seem to hate it.
Although their relationship was not hot like fire, it was not stagnant either.
They could both feel each other's efforts to get close to the other. He was inching toward her, and she was not repulsed.
Clayton's manners and discretion were very well-balanced, so he did not make her uncomfortable.
Before long, Floyd marched over and called Grant to come along as well.
As soon as Grant heard it, he knew that all the company affairs would be pushed to him.
Since Grant could not avoid it, he simply accepted it i n silence.
Did Nicole 'Lil N' Stanton really not feel ashamed working in fits and starts?
The two of them pushed open the door and just so happened to see Nicole sitting in a wheelchair, drinking coffee, and having an afternoon snack.
On the table, an iPad was playing an old TV series.
To the side, Clayton was peeling fruit for her with his well-defined fingers. He speared a piece of fruit with a toothpick and brought it to her mouth.
"Ah..."
