In the study.
Clayton patiently waited for Floyd to change his clothes and stood there humbly.
Floyd looked at him and sat on the sofa.
“Sit.“
Clayton thought about it before taking a seat. He repeated to Floyd what he told Nicole.
This time, Clayton felt as if his heart was not as heavy when he talked about it.
When he spoke, it was like he was talking about someone else.
It turned out that pain could really be alleviated and eliminated.
Clayton finished speaking and looked at Floyd quietly.
The room got colder.
It was different from facing Nicole. Floyd’s compassion and forbearance were special cases when facing his family.
In fact, Floyd was a very serious person when he was facing outsiders, just like now.
Clayton did not even dare to breathe heavily.
As time passed, Clayton’s heart grew even more apprehensive, and he could not help but become a little nervous.
It was silent and repressed like he was waiting for a verdict.
After a while, Floyd spoke. His voice was very light but still majestic.
“Clayton, you saved Nicole’s life, so you’re our family’s benefactor. I should thank you for that. However, I don’t want to use my daughter to thank you. Do you understand?“
Clayton pursed his lips tightly.
He nodded.
Of course, he understood.
“I actually don’t really approve of you two being together. A simpler person would be more suitable for Nicole. The person I think more highly of is Ian Carter. Although Ian lacks the ability and doesn’t have many prospects, it’s clear at a glance that he likes Nicole.“
Floyd sighed. “Unfortunately, Nicole has no interest in him, and he fails to live up to expectations.“
Clayton’s face turned slightly unpleasant.
He forgot that Ian Carter was among the four people who went to watch the meteor shower.
‘It turns out that Ian was Floyd’s ideal type?’ Clayton thought.
“You’re excellent in all aspects. Putting aside the fact that you have a son, you’re indeed very perfect, but I’ve been in the industry for many years.
I also know that there’s no such thing as a perfect person. The more flawless a person is, the more dangerous they are. Clayton, your background is the biggest danger. I can’t throw Nicole into that firepit of your Sloan family. I hope you understand.“
In the end, Floyd decided to give up on Clayton. Clayton jerked his head up. His voice was tense.
“I’ve had nothing to do with the Sloan family for a long time.“
“If you really had nothing to do with them, how did you lose Michael? What if the person you lose tomorrow is Nicole? What then?“
Floyd pursued aggressively. He stared intently at Clayton with a strong attitude.
As long as Clayton was around, it was impossible for Nicole to completely disassociate herself from the Sloan family.
He could not let Nicole get involved in this potential danger.
In his sphere of influence, Nicole could do whatever she wanted.
However, once it was beyond this scope? Floyd could not be careless.
At the mention of Nicole, Clayton paused slightly. His handsome face stiffened, and his eyes darkened.
A long time passed before he spoke in a firm tone.
“Uncle Floyd, I value her more than my own life. I won’t let her be in any danger. I’ll use all my strength to protect her first. If the Sloan family dares to touch her…”
Clayton paused. His tone turned cold.
“Then I’ll make it so the Sloan family disappears from this world.”
As soon as he spoke, Floyd ‘s pupils shrank slightly.
Floyd narrowed his eyes and closely scrutinized every inch of Clayton ‘s face.
Clayton met Floyd’s gaze without the slightest intention to hide.
He was not joking.
Clayton could hold back for decades. He endured their mocks and ridicules.
However, if they touched his bottom line, he would never allow it.
Nicole was his bottom line.
