Although Clayton was in the bedroom when Nicole and Logan were speaking, they did not deliberately suppress their voices, so he could still hear them clearly.
Nicole laughed and looked at Clayton with her head tilted and her eyebrows arched.
”Your admirer set this trap for me to get you. Isn’t it unexpected?”
Clayton’s face instantly stiffened. His expression sank. ”Who?”
Nicole raised her eyebrows. ”Your admirer!” ”Give me a name!”
His tone sank slightly.
Clayton thought, ’What kind of admirer could I have?’
After coming to Mediania, the only woman Clayton had come into contact with was only Nicole.
”Autumn Ferguson!”
When Nicole said this name, Clayton’s face instantly turned gloomy and cold.
It was rare to see Clayton look so serious. When Clayton entered the door earlier, he was warm and glowing.
”What, you don’t have an impression of her?”
Clayton did not want to lie. “I do, but I’m not familiar with her. Is this woman sick in the head?”
He was such a good-tempered person, yet he could not help but curse Autumn.
Nicole was stunned for a moment and could not help but laugh.
Clayton saw that Nicole was not angry and was laughing happily instead.
His face sank in disbelief.
“What are you laughing at? This woman is sick in the head, but I didn’t expect her to be so crazy! How about this, I’ll handle this matter.” 1
Saying that, Clayton took out his phone.
Nicole hurriedly grabbed it and said with a smile.
“You wanna solve it? How are you going to solve it?”
“I want her to give up on that delusional thought. In the meantime, I’ll scold her for you to vent your anger!”
Nicole laughed helplessly and thought, ’Is he trying to vent my anger or his anger? Why does he look even angrier than I am?’
Clayton instantly regretted having come over. “Mr. Sloan, a scolding won’t solve the problem.”
Nicole took his hand and fumbled with it for a moment. She looked at him and smiled helplessly.
Clayton hesitated for a few seconds. ”Then what should we do? Do you wanna beat her up? It’s not impossible, but we can’t do it ourselves. We gotta find a few mobsters for this Nicole listened to the more he said and felt like it was getting out of hand, so she quickly interrupted his thinking.
“Stop! Who said I wanted to beat her up? I’ll solve it. We’re civilized people, so we can’t be too barbaric.”
Clayton was speechless.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he was. “How are you going to solve it?”
Nicole looked at him playfully. “What if I really sold you to her?”
Clayton’s body stiffened slightly. His expression was complicated as he looked at her.
’This woman’s thoughts are really too dangerous!’ Clayton though.
He remained silent and refused to answer her question.
Nicole was relentless. “Tell me! If I really exchanged you for their resources, would you blame me?”
She knew full well that she was being unreasonable, but she suddenly wanted to know Clayton’s answer.
A few seconds later.
Clayton’s eyes slowly fell on Nicole’s face.
His thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was clear, crisp, and light. “No.”
Nicole raised her eyebrows and was a little surprised. ’He really won’t blame me? If we swapped places and Clayton sold me off, I would’ve gone crazy!’
Clayton reached out. His hand slowly landed on Nicole’s hair as he tenderly stroked it like she was a precious treasure. “How can I bear to blame you?
No matter who you sell me to, I’ll run back to you on my own,”
His voice was so pure and clear, like a spring breeze in her ear. He was so frank and pious.
Nicole’s beating heart suddenly felt like it was clenched hard.
This answer was like Clayton’s love for her, rich and sudden.
The two of them looked at each other.
Nicole felt his affection and the sudden proximity of his soul.
She was only dating him, but he was loving her whoIe heartedIy.
This was the difference between them.
Nicole suddenly felt that the feelings she reciprocated were not enough, like she was unworthy of him.
