The man behind Nicole did not move and put his hand on Nicole’s waist. His palm was hot, which made her feel slightly uncomfortable. Nicole moved, but Clayton woke up immediately.
“Are you uncomfortable?” His voice was low and hoarse. Nicole answered and did not say much. The man embraced her tighter from behind. His tone carried some guilt. “I did my best to restrain myself. Do you want some ointment? If you’re really uncomfortable, let’s go to the hospital.” If they went to the hospital because of this, it would become a big deal.
Not to mention the Stanton family, if other people spread the news of this, the whole world would know. Nicole grunted and blushed. “No, I’ll be fine after getting some sleep.” Her voice was soft and delicate. She was clearly tired. Nicole was not super uncomfortable.
Her body was just very sore. However, she did not want to say that, lest he thought that her physique was better than he imagined, then he would have no mercy on her in the future. Clayton patted her belly as if he intended to coax her to sleep like this. “Okay, sleep then.
I won’t disturb you.” Nicole pursed her lips. ‘As if I can sleep now…’ After a few seconds. She could not help but ask, “Aren’t you sleepy? You sent the text to my brother at 6:oo am, so did you get up then?” Clayton’s breath swept right over her face. His voice was deep, hoarse, pleasant, and charming.
“I didn’t sleep. I couldn’t fall asleep because I was afraid that it was all a dream. I was scared that you’d be gone as soon as I woke up.” He was afraid that it was a dream, so he did not dare to close his eyes. Clayton watched as the sky grew darker and watched as dawn broke.
He waited for the light to shine. Nicole was sleeping next to him. Her breathing was shallow, and it felt so surreal. Clayton did not even dare to blink his eyes. Nicole paused, turned around, hugged his waist, and buried her head in his chest. His hands tightened slightly. “It’s only been a few days since we saw each other, but I missed you.” Nicole lowered her voice. It was so warm and soft. Clayton chuckled. “Mm, I know.”
Although they did not say that they missed each other on the phone, Clayton felt it. Nicole was changing and becoming increasingly dependent on him by the day. After he said that, he lowered his head and kissed her ear. His voice was low. “Go to sleep, baby.” His voice was magical. After hearing these words, Nicole suddenly felt that suppressed sleepiness rushing in. As soon as she closed her eyes, she fell into a deep sleep.
Nicole slept until the afternoon. The phone buzzed nonstop next to her as if it would not stop until she picked it up. Clayton was afraid that there would be urgent matters for Nicole, so he did not mute or turn off her phone.
They both knew that if certain things were not handled in time, the consequences would be very serious. Nicole closed her eyes and fumbled with her phone. The man outside heard the sound and hurried over. Nicole got to her phone first. She picked up the call without even looking at the caller ID. “Hello, who is it?” “ It’s me, Gerard.
I just called your office, but your assistant said that you took the day off and that you shouldn’t be contacted if it’s not urgent. But I can’t figure out if this is an urgent matter for you, so I took the liberty to call and ask you first. Is it convenient for us to talk now, Ms. Stanton?” Gerard’s voice was clear and pleasant with delight. He must have some good news. Nicole woke up a little and looked at her phone. It really was Gerard Lichman. She sat up. Her voice was much steadier, and her attitude was solemn. “Mr. Lichman, please go ahead.”
Gerard laughed. “The driverless project has gotten the European license! We’re the first in the world to get this pass! Ms. Stanton, our efforts have been affirmed by the whole world!”
