Chapter 1716 Can I Propose?
The sun was shining brightly, and the layer of clouds hung in the blue sky that looked as beautiful as an oil painting.
Nicole stood in the sunlight, wrinkling her brows. Her bright and delicate face was a little pale, but she very patiently listened to Clayton finish what he wanted to say. Afterward, she revealed a confused and uncomprehending expression.
How did Clayton think that Nicole was going to abort the baby?
Nicole looked at him. Her tone was calm as she said, “Didn’t you say that you’d take responsibility?”
Clayton paused. His gaze was frozen, and he looked somewhat incredulous.
“What did you say?” The ecstasy in his eyes surfaced on his face. He jumped out of the car and stood in front of her in a few steps.
“Say it again?”
Nicole was puzzled. “I asked you earlier. We have to talk to my father first. If he agrees, then I won’t mind…”
Clayton’s eyes were slightly red. This surprise came so suddenly that he could not accept it for a while. This huge turn of events made him a little lost.
Clayton took a deep breath and wrapped her in his arms. His tense heart finally settled down.
The feeling was like going through a huge accident but suddenly being told that it was just a prank.
Clayton thought that he just lost everything, but now, he gained everything.
He had never felt so contented before.
“Thank you, baby… I’m sorry...”
Clayton spoke incoherently.
Nicole suddenly calmed down and wrapped her arms around his waist after a pause. She patted his back.
“Did you just think that I was coming to the hospital to abort the baby?”
Clayton did not answer, but the silence said it all.
Nicole sighed.
“Although this child is unexpected, I’m not so repulsed by it. I’m not prepared, but don’t you have experience in raising a child? With you around, those preparations won’t be useful anyway. Let’s just let nature take its course and see to it later…”
After all, the baby in her womb was not the child of someone she hated,
Nicole knew that Clayton would be a good father and a good husband, so what else was there t o worry about?
If this would happen sooner or later, why turn away the opportunity when it arrived?
Clayton embraced her tightly and wanted to keep her for life.
He was very emotional because he felt that he had finally gotten her answer for all his wishful thinking.
It was worth it.
All this while, quite a few people around looked at the couple. Nicole felt awkward and pushed him.
“Clayton, let’s hurry inside.”
Clayton let go of her and looked at her with a smile. The tenderness in his eyes was overflowing.
“Okay, whatever you want, baby. Even if you want to kill me, I won’t say a word.”
Nicole snorted and was speechless at his sudden change.
“It’s not like you’ve never had a child. Why are you so excited?”
Clayton laughed and held Nicole’s hand tightly.
Of course, he was excited.
Clayton raised Lil Michael as a responsibility that had fallen on his shoulders out of nowhere when he was young and frivolous. Thus, he had to take on this responsibility.
However, Nicole and their child would be his hope and home.
In this world, Clayton did not have much and was envious of other people’s good fortune.
However, at this point, he felt that his luck was not too bad.
He finally saw light and hope on the path that he had walked on alone.
There was an added little gift that made it all worth it.
When Clayton arrived at the door of Floyd’s ward, he heard laughter coming from inside. However, Clayton suddenly felt apprehensive and nervous.
He felt as uneasy as if it was the first time he met Nicole’s father.
Nicole looked at him. Clayton pursed his lips and asked, “Can I propose to you now?” .
