Chapter 1711 Don’t You Want to Get Married?
Nicole and Clayton could be together if they wanted to, and they could always break up if they lost feelings for each other.
If they got married, how could they take responsibility for each other’s future?
Seeing Nicole’s downcast face, Julie and Yvette suddenly realized something.
Yvette blinked. “Don’t tell me that you never planned on marrying Clayton and just want to sleep with him for free?!”
Julie glared at Yvette. “Watch your words!”
Yvette snapped her mouth shut and looked at Nicole, waiting for her answer.
Nicole bowed her head. “I don’t know what I’m thinking. I just feel like my heart is in turmoil.”
Julie pursed her lips and put down her fork.
“Forget it. Let’s not go shopping. Until your results come out, you can still hesitate and backtrack. Let’s go and check it out first, yeah?”
Yvette nodded in agreement. “Yeah, we’ll accompany you to the hospital.”
Julie immediately refused. “We can’t! With Nicole’s identity, once she goes to the hospital, the whole world will know, then what can she do?”
Yvette was silent and frustrated.
Julie said, “Let’s go to the pharmacy to buy a pregnancy test?”
Nicole nodded. Under their enthusiastic gazes, Nicole coughed and felt even more stressed.
“Okay. I’ll just go back and take the test myself. You guys can go shopping…”
With that, Nicole stood up and grabbed her bag to leave.
Yvette and Julie watched in shock as Nicole walked away. Nicole’s back looked a bit hurried.
Yvette wrinkled her brow. “Is Lil N afraid that we’ll know?”
Julie spoke calmly. “She doesn’t even wanna know. You need to understand that she’s probably like this because she’s traumatized by marriage…”
“Right… It’s all because of that damn Eric!”
Yvette had no qualms about scolding the culprit.
Nicole did not call her driver to pick her up. Instead, she walked to the corner of the street and came across a pharmacy.
It was as if it was destined to be there.
Nicole walked in hesitantly. Her eyes were in a daze.
This was the first time she came to buy something so awkwardly. It felt a little embarrassing.
An old lady was manning the pharmacy. Nicole muttered that she wanted a pregnancy test, and the old woman took a dozen brands from the bottom shelf for Nicole to choose from.
“Try a few more. It’ll be more accurate that way.”
Nicole was convinced and bought one of each of the dozen brands available.
The old lady smiled as she packed those up for Nicole and politely sent her away.
Nicole carried the black plastic bag, which was completely out of place with her coat which was more than $100,000.
She directly took a taxi home.
There was no one at home, and Clayton was out.
It was just as well so that she would not feel pressured.
Nicole carefully read the instructions of those pregnancy tests, and the usage was more or less the same. She quickly understood the procedure.
However, it recommended using the first morning urine, so she could not test now and had to wait until tomorrow morning.
Nicole was torn between using a few to try it out first and leaving the rest to try again tomorrow morning.
Thus, Nicole took a deep breath and went into the bathroom with the test kits.
When Nicole saw only one bar showing at the top, she breathed a sigh of relief and threw it in the trash. She then threw the rest of the kits away.
Nicole thought that there was no need to try at all and that she must have been overly concerned.
She came out feeling relaxed and put on a face mask. She then lay down on the massage chair and felt less tense all over her body. Somehow, she unconsciously fell asleep.
When Clayton came back in the evening, he saw Nicole basking in the sunset. Her body was enveloped by the warm sunlight, and she looked like she was in an oil painting, a blurred yet moving beauty
His heart fluttered. He then went over and gently kissed her on the forehead.f
