Nicole raised her brows and looked at him with a smile. ’Nervous? It’s your dream to meet my family officially…’ Clayton looked at her helplessly and seemed a bit unprepared, but he could not hide now. Grant glanced at Nicole, who was shooting looks at Clayton with a good-for-nothing expression.
He wondered if Nicole was really his sister. He pulled Aida’s hand and left, unable to stay and watch them communicate silently anymore. Nicole happily went over to take Clayton’s arm. “Let’s go…” Clayton was concerned that Grant was in front of them, so he did not dare to be too reckless. He tried to get her to let go. However, Nicole refused and deliberately held him.
Her eyes curved into a smile. Behind them, Logan finally sighed in relief. As long as they were back, Nicole would be safe. In the car. Grant glanced at Logan behind them. “You go back and rest first. Just go straight to the office tomorrow.” Logan nodded and looked at Nicole. “Alright.” Nicole paused. “Logan, remember to contact Naomi and Sully from time to time to follow up on the progress of the shoot.” Logan immediately agreed. “Yes, Ms. Stanton.” If Nicole was willing to give Logan a task, it meant that she was no longer upset about him telling on her. Nicole was truly a profoundly righteous President.
In Stanton Mansion. Floyd was very calm. He was propping up his fishing rod and making a call when they arrived. When he saw them, Floyd said a few words to the person on the phone and hung up. ”You’re back?” Grant nodded and pulled Aida into the living room. Aida could only give Floyd a hurried greeting and shot Grant a reproachful look. Grant explained in a warm voice, “What are you worried about? Dad’s anger is all for Lil N. He won’t care about us!” His voice was not lowered at all. Nicole looked at her brother speechlessly. Was there a need to say it so bluntly? Nicole started to get nervous
. ”Daddy…” Before she could say anything else, Nicole saw that Floyd’s attitude was not quite right, so she took the first step to admit her mistake. ”I was wrong…” Floyd said, ”How so?” Nicole was speechless. So, Floyd was taking the role of a matriarch? He had to get to the bottom of it? Nicole was reluctant. “I don’t think I did anything wrong, but my biggest fault is looking too attractive. I’m just too charming. That’s why so many people take the initiative to mess with me!” Floyd looked at his daughter speechlessly. What should he do? If this were Kai, Floyd would just slap him and let him know the consequences of being opinionated. However, Floyd could not do that to Nicole. The atmosphere turned chilly.
Clayton hurriedly stepped forward and greeted Floyd warmly. “Chairman Stanton, long time no see.” Floyd was very respectful when there were outsiders around. He immediately smiled and patted Clayton’s shoulder affectionately. “Mr. Sloan, it really has been a long time. I’ve been thinking about you a lot these days. Since you want to expand your business locally, you should come over and visit often. Maybe I can help you out…” Clayton was a bit overwhelmed. He did not dare to think that Floyd would say something like that. Although it was a bit tedious, Clayton could solve it all by himself.
Furthermore, if Clayton sought help from the Stanton family, rumors would inevitably spread that he approached Nicole with ulterior motives. Clayton did not want this relationship to be tainted with irrelevant rumors. However, Clayton naturally could not say that to Floyd, so he simply smiled. “Thank you, Chairman Stanton. I’ll keep that in mind if I need help.”
