Nicole unknowingly fell asleep.
Clayton smiled, closed the door, and went around to the driver’s seat.
“I ‘ll send you back to rest. There’s no progress with Lil Michael for now, but we’ll find out soon.“
Nicole answered under her breath and did not say another word. She had to go back to wash up and change her clothes.
They arrived at the apartment before long.
She got into the elevator, entered the door, and went straight to the bathroom to wash up in a daze.
Nicole did not notice that Clayton had been following behind her.
When she was inside the bath, she suddenly remembered that Eric had been present.
If Eric had something to do with this matter… Nicole froze and planned to hurry up and ask.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of someone walking inside the living room.
Her face changed.
Clayton ‘s voice came from outside. “Nicole, can you hear me?“
Nicole was stunned. ‘Clayton? He hasn’t left yet?’ “Yeah.“ She responded.
“Although there are some things I want to forget, I can’t pretend that nothing happened. Isaac came to Mediania to make me suffer forever, and he succeeded.“
Clayton’s voice was extremely slow and mellow with a hint of hoarseness.
He suddenly laughed.
“I didn’t tell you because I was afraid that you’d be scared. I wanted to wait until after you fell in love with me so that you’ll have lesser thoughts of leaving me.“
Clayton expressed his selfish thoughts directly.
Using love to bind Nicole was the only thing he could do.
Clayton stood outside and leaned against the wall.
He wanted to say everything now because he did not dare to look at Nicole’s shocked and disgusted gaze.
That feeling was worse than having his heart gouged out.
“When my mother met my father, she was probably cheated. He lied to her and said that he would marry her. He lied and said that he had real feelings for her. After she had me, he didn’t get a divorce, so she went crazy…“
Nicole had been trying to get dressed in a flurry, but when she heard Clayton speak, she subconsciously quieted down.
Through the door and the wall, she could feel the sadness in his voice.
“She went crazy and took it out on me. She hit me and scolded me. She stuffed my mouth with desserts she had made that no one ate and locked me up in the basement as punishment. My father finally discovered his conscience and took me to the Sloan family, but life there wasn’t pleasant either, especially for an illegitimate child like me.
Everywhere I went, I was shouted at and beaten up. Compared to living with my psychotic mother, it was like being transferred from one hell to another. Isaac has a silver tongue, but he’s sinister. He’s my father’s younger brother, and he’s the most favored in the Sloan family. The worst time Isaac bullied me was when falsely accused me of pushing my younger brother, Michael’s father, who was the youngest in the family and still had not grown up at that time. Back then, I was beaten up by my father until I was half-dead.“
Clayton paused as his voice choked.
“In a fit of anger, I went to my mother, but she had gone completely crazy. She sat on the windowsill upstairs, singing. I tried to grab her, but she thought I wanted to push her, so she screamed and jumped down herself…“
His voice was hoarse and flat, but there was a strong trace of sadness inside.
Nicole frowned slightly as shock began to emerge in her heart.
That gentle and modest Clayton actually grew up like this?
She opened her mouth and was just about to say something, but Clayton interrupted her.
“That day, everyone knew that I killed my mother. Since it was a scandal, the Sloan family suppressed it. Later on, my father was taking a call on the stairs. He only fell because he didn’t stand firmly, but Isaac insisted that I was behind him and pushed him. My father actually believed him…”
