Clayton smiled and stared straight ahead. Nicole said, “You’re lucky to get him!”
Clayton chuckled and said, “Susan took care of Michael since he’s a baby. She used to work for the Sloan family and has a good relationship with Michael’s biological father. When I left the Sloan family, Susan quit her job and followed me to take care of Michael.”
Nicole nodded. “No wonder you guys trust her…”
Clayton’s gaze darkened slightly.
“Because many times before, Susan found out that someone was secretly trying to harm Michael. I was distracted at the time, and if it wasn’t for her, I don’t know what would’ve happened…”
The atmosphere was heavy all of a sudden. Nicole sort of regretted mentioning this topic. Fortunately, they soon arrived at the apartment.
Clayton carried two bags effortlessly and got on the elevator.
Nicole pressed the button to their floor. Clayton raised his eyebrows and did not make a sound.
Soon, they arrived at Clayton’s door.
Clayton opened the door, and Nicole followed him in.
He had just entered the kitchen when Nicole walked over. “Why don’t you go and take a nap? I’ll cook.”
Clayton was a little surprised.
Nicole smiled, took his hand, and pushed him out.
“Don’t worry, I won’t blow up your kitchen. You haven’t slept all day, so go rest for a while.”
Although Clayton chatted with her in high spirits on the way home, it was not hard for Nicole to notice the tired look on his face.
Nicole did not want to cook, but she felt like it was acceptable to cook a meal for him.
Clayton smiled, took her hand, and squeezed it.
“If I had known you were gonna cook, I would’ve just eaten out.”
Seeing that Nicole’s expression changed, Clayton immediately added, “Because I’m afraid that you’ll get
tired. How can I let Ms. Stanton do such tedious chores?”
Nicole’s expression instantly turned lighter as she curled the corners of her lips.
“Then you’re really blessed today for me to cook for you! You just need to look forward to it.”
When Clayton saw this, he could only smile helplessly and rubbed his temples. Sure enough, he could hardIy hang on.
’Thank you. Just make something simple. I’m not picky and will eat anything just as long as it’s cooked.”
Nicole nodded. Clayton then went to the bedroom with heavy and tired steps.
Nicole breathed a sigh of relief.
She turned around and started to prepare the ingredients.
Fortunately, these imported products are very clean, so she just needed to rinse them with water.
Nicole seriously prepared a meal for Clayton while she felt ashamed.
She cooked up four dishes and one soup. All of them were filled with color and flavor.
Back then, she had learned how to cook for Eric and had deliberately tried to forget it. Now, when she cooked again, she did it with ease.
However, she had gradually forgotten the humble mood that she had when she learned to cook before.
Now, she felt very natural and comfortable. It was probably because of Clayton.
The aroma of the meal wafted to the bedroom.
Clayton intended to get a quick nap, but when he woke up and picked up his phone, two hours had passed.
He jolted up and walked out barefoot.
When he saw Nicole standing on the balcony talking on the phone with a deliberately suppressed voice, he let out a deep sigh of relief.
’Luckily, she’s still here…’ Clayton thought.
Nicole was wearing a casual knitted dress that made her look gentle and bright, with some playful sweetness. She was talking and laughing with the person on the phone.
The noon sun was very strong.
The sunlight enveloped her surroundings, giving her a light halo that made her look like the only person in this world.
Clayton did not want to disturb such a beautiful picture. He just leaned against the wall, silently watching her with a smile on his face that never faded.
Nicole turned around while she was talking and accidentally saw Clayton standing there.
He was also looking at her.
