However, before Nicole could react, Clayton already let go of her hand as if nothing happened. He politely nodded to the people inside and then turned to leave with a smile in his eyes.
His back was frank and warm, with not the slightest trace of the small action he just did.
Nicole secretly clicked her tongue at him and turned around.
As soon as she did, she saw Yvette and Julie smiling at her meaningfully.
Julie smiled. “Mr. Sloan moves very quickly. You two are so sweet to each other now. Is the next step discussing marriage?”
Nicole gave her a chastising glare.
“What are you thinking? We should be thinking about Yvette’s matters now. You’re focusing on the wrong point!”
Yvette could not help but smile. “Your ability to change the topic has improved. Nicole, are you planning on pursuing love instead of your career?”
Nicole opened her mouth seriously.
“Those aren’t mutually exclusive. Of course, I’m career- oriented. Love is just icing on the cake!”
“Love rat!” The two of them spoke in unison. Nicole touched her nose.
After Yvette finished her meal, Julie received an emergency call from her company. It seemed like something happened.
“Yvette, I have to go to the office so I can’t accompany you. You should be discharged after you finish eating. Why don’t I send you back?”
Yvette’s eyes flashed. “I can’t be discharged. I still have to let my mom see how pitiful I am. Otherwise, she’ll kill me later.”
Julie looked at her helplessly and spoke to Nicole. “You watch her then? I’ll go now.”
Nicole nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
As soon as Julie left, Grant arrived.
Nicole sent him a text early to tell him that Yvette was fine and asked him to come to visit when he had the time.
She knew that the reason why Yvette was not discharged was that she was waiting for him.
It was like she was stubbornly wanting a result. Grant knocked on the door and came in.
Yvette’s eyes lit up, but instantly dimmed when she saw the person who came in after Grant.
Nicole also stood up, smiling naturally. “Big Brother, Aida, you’re here.”
She did not expect Grant to bring Aida, but she could not act strangely.
Grant nodded, his expression as cold as ever.
He looked at Yvette. “How are you, Ms. Quimbey?”
Yvette’s expression seemed a bit tense, not knowing whether to rejoice or be sad.
The corners of her mouth pulled and she lowered her head, saying in a weak voice, “I’m much better.”
Nicole could see the disappointment Yvette was concealing.
Behind Grant, Aida poked her head out. Beautiful and gentle, she gave them a generous smile.
“I hope you get well soon, Ms. Quimbey…”
Yvette smiled with a pale face. “Thank you, Aida. I didn’t expect you to visit me.”
Aida’s eyes softly glanced at Grant, and she jokingly said, ” My car broke down, so he came to pick me up. I originally wanted to wait outside, but he was probably afraid that I would drive the car away, so he dragged me along with him.”
Grant looked at her with an exasperated and doting gaze.
“It’s not the first or second time you’ve left me behind. Of course, I have to guard against the third time.”
His words were filled with a cherishing tone.
Aida smiled in embarrassment. The two of them were not showing any intimate behaviors.
However, with just one look, Aida could make Grant’s aura approachable.
Yvette’s smile was suddenly suffused with bitterness, but she quickly concealed it.
She fiercely lowered her gaze to cover the emotions in her eyes.
Nicole sighed and smiled helplessly.
“Yvette’s fever just subsided, and she ate some food, but her body hasn’t fully recovered yet, so she doesn’t have much energy.”
