Nicole slept very soundly. When she felt that someone came in, she opened her eyes and sat up in a daze.“You’re back?”Clayton looked at her helplessly and smiled. “You didn’t go shopping? Are you tired? I called you a few times, but you didn’t answer, so I called Ms. Quimbey. She said that you’ve been back a while ago. Didn’t we agree that I’d pick you up?”Nicole stretched out her arms, so Clayton went over and picked her up, then put her on the sofa.“Oh, I came back early.”As for the reason, Nicole did not want to mention it right now.Clayton did not mind and stroked her hair.“Are you hungry? Do you want me to cook something for you?”Nicole touched her stomach and nodded.Clayton smiled, kissed her, then got up and went into the bedroom. He first went to change his clothes, then went to the bathroom to wash his hands.Nicole casually glanced at him and saw that he entered the bathroom. Her heart abruptly tightened, and she panicked a little.Clayton washed his hands

Nicole pursed her lips and raised her eyes to look at Clayton. She spoke with great certainty.“This thing is broken. When I bought it, that old lady said that it’s better to try a few more times. When I looked at it earlier, it was clearly one bar, but now it became two. There must be something wrong with this pregnancy test kit.”Clayton looked at Nicole, dumbfounded. The joy in his heart was strongly suppressed, and he seemed to be a little incredulous.“Really?”Nicole nodded her head.Clayton lowered his eyes. “Then should I buy more?”Nicole shook her head. “No need. I bought a lot of them. I’ll try again tomorrow morning.”Once he heard this, Clayton’s heart settled down. He nodded his head. “Okay.”He then threw the pregnancy test away and washed his hands before going back to bed.After he turned off the lights, the room fell back into darkness.Clayton lay beside Nicole but did not feel sleepy at all.“Nicole?”Nicole was just about to fall asleep when she was wok

The sun was shining brightly, and the layer of clouds hung in the blue sky that looked as beautiful as an oil painting.Nicole stood in the sunlight, wrinkling her brows. Her bright and delicate face was a little pale, but she very patiently listened to Clayton finish what he wanted to say. Afterward, she revealed a confused and uncomprehending expression.How did Clayton think that Nicole was going to abort the baby?Nicole looked at him. Her tone was calm as she said, “Didn’t you say that you’d take responsibility?”Clayton paused. His gaze was frozen, and he looked somewhat incredulous.“What did you say?”The ecstasy in his eyes surfaced on his face. He jumped out of the car and stood in front of her in a few steps.“Say it again?”Nicole was puzzled. “I asked you earlier. We have to talk to my father first. If he agrees, then I won’t mind…”Clayton’s eyes were slightly red. This surprise came so suddenly that he could not accept it for a while. This huge turn of events ma

Clayton's nervousness at the beginning was justified.At least, a minute before Clayton opened his mouth, he was still relaxed. After Clayton finished speaking, he felt nervous, apprehensive, and tense.It was more frightening than when Clayton closed his first big deal.Clayton thought that his recent performance had been quite good since Floyd’s attitude toward him had been great.However, at this moment, Clayton felt that it was far from enough.It was too risky.Clayton was deeply worried about the little zygote in Nicole’s womb now.He wondered if Nicole would still be able to keep the baby.Floyd’s face was completely devoid of happiness. The darkness and scrutiny in his eyes were very intimidating.This kind of suffocating feeling was like a boulder hanging over Clayton’s head.Kai also did not get involved and watched silently, which was rare.Nicole saw Clayton’s nervous look, then looked at Floyd’s face and instantly felt a little helpless.She coughed and gave he

Nicole could tell from Floyd’s words that Floyd was actually not dissatisfied with Clayton. He was just unable to accept this unexpected pregnancy.In the end, Floyd was just afraid that his daughter would be aggrieved.Nicole’s heart was warm. She held Floyd’s arm and smiled.“Dad, he doesn’t dare to. This is just an accident. When we came to the hospital, he even thought that I didn’t want the baby. On the way here, he looked so sad, but he didn’t say anything. He respects me fully. Since we’ll get married sooner or later anyway, why not agree to it?”Floyd raised his eyebrows. His eyes were full of doubt.“Really?”Nicole nodded.Floyd sighed. “But I still think that you’re too good for him and he got a huge deal!”Nicole said, “Dad, Clayton doesn’t have any relatives anymore. Everything is decided by our family. I listen to you so much, so you shouldn’t scare him so easily. He’s already so pitiful…”Floyd froze for a moment and suddenly understood what Nicole meant.The t
