Chapter 1808 He’s Too Thoughtful
Nicole froze for a few seconds. “Why haven’t you told us before?” Yvette cocked her head and glanced in Ian’s direction. “I was afraid that he’d find trouble if he knew. Adeline Zabel works well. Even Lance said that she has a high IQ as long a s she doesn’t get emotional.” 20 Lumi did not know what the ladies were whispering about. They looked like they had a tacit understanding, so she felt left out.
8 It was very awkward. “What are you guys talking about? Is Carter’s girlfriend looking for trouble?” From her perspective, Lumi could only see the girl crying aggrievedly. Lumi was just watching the show. She knew about and looked down on such ordinary girls’ tricks. 88 Only incapable women would use tears to sway men. 5 Thus, from the time that girl showed up, the ladies had an indifferent attitude toward her. Everyone was used to seeing such women trying to enter their social circle.
Although they did not outrightly reject her, it was impossible to integrate into the high-society ladies’ circle by relying o n a man. Besides Ian, some other gentries also came with their girlfriends. 22 Thus, everyone was used to it. Not long after, Ian came over in a huff. Lumi immediately shut up. Lumi could not resist gossiping. “Carter, is your girlfriend angry? Why don’t you go and coax her?” 23 When Ian heard this, he was in a very bad mood.
“Girlfriend? Who told you that she’s my girlfriend?” That delicate girl chased after Ian and heard his words. In front of so many people, that girl could not bear to stay any longer.
Her eyes were red, and she covered her mouth as she immediately ran out, looking very hurt. Ian Carter’s heartless look made many of them sigh. 82 How sincere could that girl’s affection be anyway? Ian sat on the side and suddenly took a big gulp of wine. He took out a cigarette and was just about to light it when he suddenly thought of something. He glanced at Nicole, then stuffed the cigarette back into his pocket.
“Uh… I’m going out for a smoke…” 88 Nicole smiled. “Carter, there are so many people coming and going from here. If that girl gets in trouble, you won’t be able to rid yourself of this responsibility. You should just send her back.’ 5 » Ian’s face stiffened.
He seemed to have thought of this. He cursed, stood up, took his phone and jacket, and walked out. This clubhouse was frequented by the op rich and famous. It was not easy to get in without a membership.
Those who could enter were either rich or powerful. There were certainly many ways to torment a girl that went to their door. Thus, it was better not to get into this kind of trouble. Nicole just reminded Ian of this fact. 18 Nicole’s phone lit up, and she glanced at i t. It was a message from Clayton. [Are you tired? Do you want to go home and rest?] Nicole paused and turned off her phone. She did not want to reply.
The music in the room was deafening. It almost made her blood boil. After a few minutes, her phone beeped again. 82 Clayton messaged her. [Are you hungry? I can take you out to eat something.] Nicole silently turned off the phone.
Julie looked at Nicole and laughed. “Is Mr. Sloan being thoughtful again? He’s right next door to us. If he misses you, why doesn’t he just come and see 88 you?” Yvette laughed lightly at the side.
“Mr. Sloan is already known to be notoriously obedient. If he comes here to keep Nicole company on this occasion, I think that he won’t be able to show his face in his circle. He’d just be in our gang like Ian…” Nicole’s hand paused.
She suddenly lost the mood to play after hearing that. She glared at them and put down the cards in her hand. CC Nicole grunted lightly and said, Whatever! I’m pregnant, so I can’t stay u all night. I’m going to the bathroom. You guys can do as you please.”
