Chapter 1718 Don’t Even Think About It
Clayton’s nervousness at the beginning was justified.
At least, a minute before Clayton opened his mouth, he was still relaxed. After Clayton finished speaking, he felt nervous, apprehensive, and tense.
It was more frightening than when Clayton closed his first big deal.
Clayton thought that his recent performance had been quite good since Floyd’s attitude toward him had been great.
However, at this moment, Clayton felt that it was far from enough.
It was too risky.
Clayton was deeply worried about the little zygote in Nicole’s womb now.
He wondered if Nicole would still be able to keep the baby.
Floyd’s face was completely devoid of happiness. The darkness and scrutiny in his eyes were very intimidating.
This kind of suffocating feeling was like a boulder hanging over Clayton’s head.
Kai also did not get involved and watched silently, which was rare.
Nicole saw Clayton’s nervous look, then looked at Floyd‘s face and instantly felt a little helpless.
She coughed and gave her dad a look.
“Dad, isn’t this good news?”
Floyd pursed his lips and looked at Nicole. “Good news?!”
He glanced deeply at Clayton.
“This occasion, this time, this setting! You think THIS is good news?!”
With that, the temperature in the ward instantly plunged.
Clayton’s face stiffened. A touch of chagrin crossed his eyes.
Nicole paused. “Dad, those aren’t important.” Floyd glanced at her. His tone was cold. “Then what’s important? What else is important?”
Perhaps Nicole did not care about these rituals, and Clayton missed something, but the person who loved Nicole the most would always care about every little detail.
Floyd wanted every memorable day in his daughter’s life to be perfect and not done in such a haphazard manner.
Nicole was just about to say something when Clayton stepped forward and took Nicole’s hand with an incomparably humble attitude.
“Uncle Floyd is right. I was careless. Everything about Nicole should be thought out properly. I’ll definitely go back and prepare again so that Nicole can remember such an important day”
Actually, Clayton was quite happy when he figured it out.
Floyd’s request was not too much. Since Floyd had such expectations, it meant that he probably agreed to the two of them being together.
Floyd’s attitude was important.
Nicole frowned slightly. Kai came over to alleviate the situation. He also did not want to lose such a good brother-in-law.
“Clayton knows his mistakes and will change accordingly. In fact, he’s just asking for your opinion with full sincerity out of respect, Dad. If he proposed without your blessing, what’s the difference between that and forced marriage?”
Kai’s words made Floyd so angry that he could not say a word.
Floyd thought, ‘This stupid boy is always dragging me down. Can he get lost?!’
However, Nicole smiled and said, “That’s right. If Clayton didn’t get your blessing and I didn’t want to agree, how awkward would that be?”
Floyd felt indignant. He was thinking of his daughter, but she still spoke for others?
Was he now an unreasonable bad father?
Floyd let out a cold snort and looked away, not wanting to see their faces.
“Then you won’t get married if I don’t agree?”
Floyd asked her back. A flash of panic crossed Clayton’s face as he was shocked by Floyd’s words. Nicole could not help it. She placed her hand on her belly and spoke frankly.
“Dad, I’m pregnant, so you can’t even disagree! We just went to the hospital for a checkup!”
That completely broke the originally de-escalated tension in the ward.
Even Kai widened his eyes and looked at Clayton with a somewhat sullen and cold gaze, nott o mention Floyd.
Floyd’s face was glum. He took a deep breath and pointed at Clayton.
“Get out! Don’t even think about marriage!”
