Chapter 1657 You Can Marry Me
Faking the truth was one way of doing it.
Nicole smiled. “Okay, I’ll listen to your arrangements.”
Grant nodded, lowered his eyes, and paused.
T’ll get K to work tomorrow. Don’t tire yourself too much.”
After saying that, Grant patted her head and turned to leave.
Nicole’s heart was very relaxed after settling this matter.
In the evening when they had dinner at the Stanton Mansion, Nicole did not mention a word about this matter.
It was not until after Nicole and Clayton left that Kai bombarded Nicole with his calls.
IS
(What?! Do you know about it? That devil Grant actually asked me to work for him?!]
(I’m furious! He even froze my cards!]
(He’s so overbearing and bossy! Who does he think he is?! He’s an adult yet he’s still playing this game!)
(I won’t go! NEVER!!!
[Nicole Ann Stanton! Hurry up and reply to me! Or else, you’ll lose me as a brother!)
Nicole looked at the text messages that popped up one after another and was a little dazzled.
She swept a glance and really did not dare to ignore Kai.
Nicole immediately replied and carefully worded her message.
[You can’t disobey Big Brother’s orders!]
Kai was infuriated. (I won’t listen to him! Why am I the one suffering when HIS wife is pregnant?! I also have a girlfriend and my own work!]
Nicole pursed her lips. (As far as I know, Julie went on a business trip lately, right? Your performance is also over…]
(OMG!! Did you snitch on me?! Are you in cahoots with Grant?!]
Across the screen, Nicole could feel Kai’s wrath.
Nicole hastily denied it. (I know nothing about this!)
Kai was doubtful and cursed at Grant and Nicole all night. He finally chucked his phone aside
in a fit of rage.
Only then did Nicole slowly let out a sigh of relief and relaxed.
Clayton fed Nicole a piece of cubed watermelon. Seeing her face, Clayton could not help but laugh.
“You’re usually not such a wimp. You didn’t refute when Kai scolded you. Are you guilty?”
Nicole paused. That was true.
She scratched her hair and felt an oncoming headache. She stood up and opened her arms.
Clayton put down the fruit platter and stood in front of her with his back turned to her. Nicole then fell on his back.
Clayton immediately carried her and walked around the living room with his bare feet. “Is this comfortable, milady?”
Nicole let out a faint “mm” and flung her legs. She laughed and said, “Whatever. He can scold me all he wants! Anyway, he has no room to resist. He’ll have to show up at work tomorrow.”
A trace of amusement crossed Clayton’s eyes. “Why?”
“Didn’t you hear that Big Brother has frozen his card? He has no money to spend, so he has no choice but to go to work. My big brother is really capable. He can control Kai with one swift move without leaving any room for maneuver. This is definitely much more effective than m y dad’s tactics.”
Nicole spoke with a smile like she was watching a good show.
“Anyway, I’ll be more relaxed now!”
In the end, Nicole was the one who benefited from this.
Clayton was so amused and laughed out loud. “Kai will be furious if he hears this! Are you sure that he’ll really go to work? It doesn’t look like he’s the kind who’ll compromise when someone sets him up.”
Clayton had witnessed Kai’s casual attitude before. Kai could pick up a chair to hit someone but could drink with that person as soon as he put down the chair.
Kai was certainly not an ordinary person.
Nicole said, “Then let’s bet on it?”
“Bet on what?”
Clayton became interested. Nicole asked, “What do you want to bet on?” “If I win, will you marry me?”
Clayton’s voice was warm and light, like a breeze that swept over the tip of her heart.
Nicole faintly froze.
The big screen on the wall still transmitted the sound from the TV show. It was very lively.
However, neither of them made a sound.
