Read Chapter 936 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat
Besides saving Nicole twice by luck, Eric really could not figure out what else Clayton had for her to like him.
That was gratitude, not love.
He wanted to let Nicole recognize that clearly. Do not be fooled by him just because of gratitude!
Nicole was silent for a few seconds before her voice lowered.
“I’m together with him because I know what kind of person he is, but I don’t have to explain it to other people.”
Lil Michael’s existence could be considered a stain to Clayton.
However, Nicole never minded it. She only felt heartache on behalf of Clayton.
Eric’s fist tightened and loosened.
His voice was hoarse. “I can also risk my life for you, Nicole His tone was almost pleading.
Nicole’s eyes moved slightly as she looked at him coldIy and seriously.
“Mr. Ferguson, it has been proven that we’re not suitable. Please stop wasting your time on me. I hope that our relationship will just remain as business partners…”
Just as she spoke, Clayton could not hold back anymore and came forward. He reached out to place his hand on her shoulder, bringing a faint chill.
“The driver is here. Shall we go?”
Nicole nodded and could feel Eric’s cold and stern gaze. “Goodbye, Mr. Ferguson.”
“You’ll regret this, Nicole.”
Eric gritted his teeth as he spoke, his despondent and upright figure slightly ruthless.
Nicole frowned and did not want to say anything, but Clayton was unwilling to leave just like that.
Clayton turned around, smiled, and spoke in a cold and certain voice.
“No, she won’t. She never will.”
That was because Clayton would devote his life to her. He would always cherish and love her. He would not give her the opportunity to regret her decision.
Then, before Nicole could react, Clayton held her and left.
When the driver pulled up in front of them, he opened the back door for Nicole and closed it after she went in.
He got in from the other side, seemingly cold.
“Drive.”
Nicole felt that Clayton’s mood was not quite right. Was he angry?
She gave him a side-glance. “Did you tell Golden Sea Corporation’s President that we were leaving?”
Clayton nodded. “I did.”
Nicole pursed her lips. A strand of hair fell from her ear, and she was just about to tuck it back behind her ear when she touched Clayton’s cool hand.
He moved gently to fix her hair, sighed lightly, and then pulled her hand tightly to hold in his.
Nervous and apprehensive. “What’s wrong?” Nicole asked. He was acting odd.
Clayton’s grip tightened. He looked at her, saying in a low voice, “Nicole, when I watched you two standing together, I suddenly regretted letting you go out.”
He knew how much she used to like Eric, and he also knew how much this was like walking on thin ice.
When he saw her talking to Eric, he suddenly thought, What if Nicole regretted it?’
The fear grew from the bottom of his heart until he rashly barged over and took Nicole away.
That fear was still present.
Nicole was a smart person, so she instantly knew the reason for Clayton’s change in mood.
He was afraid of losing her because she did not give him a sense of security in the relationship.
She used to be like that.
However, now, she was the one who failed to give him enough security. She felt ashamed of herself.
Nicole smiled. “Then you should stop me from going out next time, but Mr. Sloan, you should have some confidence in yourself!”
If she could start over with Eric, how could she have waited until now?
She had separated from Eric. There was no turning back. Clayton’s brow relaxed, and his grip on her hand loosened. “Nicole, no matter what Mr. Ferguson does, we can’t break up, okay?”
Nicole paused and looked at him. Her pretty eyes blinked as she smiled.
“Don’t care too much about him. He’s not important.”
