Read Chapter 1144 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat
Last night, Nicole had really lost her temper. She should not have been like that.
How could she take the negative energy she got from Eric and transfer it to another person?
It was not fair to Clayton.
When Clayton heard the footsteps behind him, his body stiffened slightly.
He slowly turned around and looked at Nicole. His handsome face was gentle. The tiredness on his face was somewhat hidden.
Nicole was a little heartbroken, but Clayton just smiled and opened his arms. His voice was extremely gentle.
“Surprise! Are you happy to see me?”
Nicole paused and suddenly felt that her nose was sore. She felt like she became more vulnerable.
Without much thought, she pounced on him.
The two of them embraced each other tightly as if no one else existed around them.
Nicole could smell Clayton’s familiar warm and soothing scent.
They called and texted to tell each other about their daily life.
However, Nicole had never said that she missed him. Especially at this moment, she missed him very much. Even she did not know that Clayton had become such an important existence in her life.
Nicole agreed to date Clayton back then because she thought that Clayton’s efforts should be rewarded. She thought that Clayton would eventually back off after he realized that she was not in the mood to date.
However, this time, she seemed to have fallen for him.
The two of them hugged for a long time before Clayton gradually loosened his grip. He lowered his head and looked at her seriously with delight and affection in his eyes.
“Had I known you missed me so much, I would’ve come back earlier.”
Nicole’s face flushed, and she hurriedly let go of him.
“Who misses you?”
Clayton’s hand gently held her waist without letting go.
“I miss you.”
Nicole lowered her head and did not speak, but the corners of her lips quietly curled up into an imperceptible arc.
“Why did you suddenly come back?”
She asked.
Nicole felt a little guilty because she knew the answer.
Clayton pursed his lips. His gaze was warm and clear like flowing spring water.
He chuckled and said, “My girlfriend is angry, so of course, I have to rush back to coax her, lest someone steals her away from me…”
Nicole felt ashamed. He really came back because of her. “I’m not angry…” She explained in a low voice.
Suddenly, Clayton’s stomach growled. Nicole froze. “You’re hungry?”
Clayton smiled, embarrassed. “I had a full day of meetings yesterday and didn’t eat anything, and I didn’t have an appetite when I was on the plane last night…”
Nicole was nervous and hurriedly pulled his hand to go inside.
“Why didn’t you say so earlier? You couId’ve come in earlier and gotten Mr. Anderson to make you breakfast!”
Clayton dragged her back and laughed helplessly.
“I’m here to admit my mistake, not to get a free meal. You didn’t even forgive me yet, so I couldn’t just go in and make you even angrier.”
Nicole felt really ashamed and heartbroken. ’Look at what I’ve done…”
She was a little confused when Clayton stopped in his tracks.
“Let’s go in…”
Clayton hesitated. “I came in a hurry and didn’t bring a gift, so I can’t just go in empty-handed…”
Nicole was speechless.
Clayton smiled. “I’ll go in next time. I ought to prepare myself to leave a good impression on Chairman Stanton.”
Knowing that Clayton was a perfectionist, Nicole did not force him.
She pursed her lips. “Then let’s go out to eat?” Clayton smiled and nodded his head.
Nicole sighed in relief and followed him to the car.
In the Stanton Mansion.
Grant stood on the balcony and watched as Nicole got into Clayton’s car and left.
He shook his head with a calm face.
The butler also shook his head regretfully from behind. “I even left some breakfast for them. Why didn’t they come in?”
