Clayton’s hint was clear enough.
He was willing to accept such unfairness. If Nicole had even a slight liking for him, his unrequited love would not b e in vain.
However, Nicole was not like other women.
Even if Clayton put in a hundred times more effort, Nicole would not necessarily be soft-hearted.
Nicole was persuading him to give up on her, but it was impossible.
It was so silent in the ward that a pin drop could be heard.
Nicole’s chest felt heavy like a huge rock was pressing on her heart. Even her breathing became abnormally difficult.
Looking at her torn expression as she was thinking about how to respond to his words, Clayton suddenly laughed.
Clayton was most unwilling to put Nicole in a difficult position.
“How about this? You can repay me with one cond ition.” Nicole raised her eyes and looked at him.
Clayton pursed his lips. “You have to promise me that you won’t reject my existence in your life, and don’t reject the affection I show to you. You can always tell me if you feel bored and uncomfortable with me, but if you feel so much a s a hint of affection for me, you have to tell me too!”
They ought to try whether they would have a good or bad ending.
Clayton would accept it no matter the result.
Nicole looked at him for a few seconds. She pursed her lips, thought about it, and nodded. “Okay.”
This time, Nicole did not just say it perfunctorily.
For a moment, she even felt that it was okay to try dating.
Clayton’s proposal clearly left her enough room to mentally prepare herself. He did not force her with anything.
Nicole also had no intention of being single for the rest of her life. Was she not allowed to like other men besides Eric?
No, it was just that she did not meet someone who spoke t o her soul yet.
Clayton gradually smiled. The gloom faded from his eyes that were like clear spring water. He was modest, gentle, handsome, and noble.
The fact that Nicole did not refuse was already good progress.
Nicole really could not stand his blazing gaze that was about to burn a hole in her body, so she fled.
When she got back to her ward, everyone was gone.
Kai lazily lay on her hospital bed, looking at the quarterly report that Dominic Young sent him.
Seeing that Nicole was back, Kai raised an eyebrow. ” What’d you guys talk about that took so long?”
Nicole rolled her eyes. “Why didn’t you send your goddess home, huh?”
It was not at all like Kai’s style to give up an opportunity to b e solicitous to Julie.
Kai sighed and tossed the report aside.
“I had to stay and accompany my dear sister, of course…” “Huh…”
Nicole sneered.
Just now, Kai acted like a sycophant. It was most likely that Julie refused Kai’s “good intentions” to send her home.
The next day, Clayton was discharged from the hospital. He said goodbye to Nicole and went back to the hotel to
deal with his business.
After all, he was someone who could earn hundreds of millions of dollars every minute. He was a Wall Street genius. Even without any physical enterprise in his hand, he was very influential in the venture capitalist circle.
Nicole spent a few leisurely days in the hospital. Aside from her right leg that was not yet healed, Nicole was already in the pink of health.
Only recently did Logan start to bring over some documents that needed her signature which could not be put aside for too long.
Nicole sat in her wheelchair and watched the snow falling outside as Logan stood by to report on the latest progress of the project.
Nicole nodded in satisfaction because everything went smoothly.
“Are there any results from Sand City?”
It had been so many days, so there should be some movement.
Logan stammered and pursed his lips, seemingly hesitant. “Chairman Stanton said not to let such trivial things disturb your rest…”
Nicole helplessly glanced at him. ”Logan, are you gonna tell me or not?”
Logan thought, ’Of course I have to, now that you put it like that…’
”There’s sufficient evidence on the hit-and-run murderer. H e killed three construction workers. At first, he was adamant about not saying anything, but he later confessed. I heard that someone secretly sent the evidence to the court.”
Nicole raised her eyebrows and laughed as she casually asked, “Who’s so kind and charitable?”
”Mr. Ferguson…”
Nicole’s smile stiffened and faded. ”Continue.”
