Nicole went into the bar and asked for a glass of wine. A woman was singing and playing the guitar on the round stage in front. Her voice was hoarse and deep, and she was wearing heavy makeup, so Nicole could not tell what the woman would look like without makeup.However, the woman gave off a casual and nonchalant vibe.When the bartender saw that Nicole was staring at the woman, he said with a smile, “That’s our boss.”Nicole raised her eyebrows and took a sip of wine. “She has a nice voice.”The bartender nodded with a smile.Nicole had too many thoughts in her mind, so she absent-mindedly drank one glass after another.It did not take long for the bartender to realize something was wrong.After the boss finished singing, the bartender called her over.“Boss, this lady is drunk. We don’t know who she is…”The bar owner, Selena, squinted and thought that Nicole looked familiar.After some thought, she went over and patted Nicole on the shoulder.“Hey, if you’re drunk, I ca

Malcolm parked the car on the side of the road slowly and answered the phone.“Hello?”“Hello, Dr. King, I’m Clayton Sloan. We met earlier.”“I know. Mr. Sloan, what can I do for you?”His tone was patient and calm like the way he treated every patient.After ten seconds of silence, Clayton replied in a hoarse and deep voice. Clayton seemed to have mustered all his courage, and he choked up.“I discovered that Nicole has suicidal intent. Please save her!”Clayton felt like a dense pain in his bones.Nicole was not as brave and strong as he imagined.During the days he disappeared, Nicole also wanted to perish with him.Before they got married, Clayton knew that Nicole did not love him as much as he loved her. Thus, he exhausted all methods to marry her and felt blessed that his wish came true.He felt that it was good for her not to love him that much so that she would not be too sad if anything happened to him.However, he expected too much, and it was difficult to express

Nicole thought that she had caused Clayton a lot of trouble by being hospitalized.She was disappointed, but also confused and uncertain about their future.Malcolm was stunned by her words.He did not expect this to happen.He was speechless for a moment and did not know how to react.Fortunately, Nicole did not give him time to react and hung up the phone.Clayton came and left again.Nicole took a deep breath. She planned to go back to the apartment to change her clothes and check on the children before going to the office.Thanks to the side effects of alcohol, Nicole slept really soundly that night.When she got to the apartment, the children’s room was empty.Mrs. Zoe was also gone.She pursed her lips and thought, ‘Maybe Mrs. Zoe took the children out for a walk…’Everything was fine as long as the children did not sneak out.Nicole called Mrs. Zoe, who answered quickly, “Madam, are you back?”“Yeah, you took the kids out?”“Yes. Chatty had a nightmare and wanted

The long-lost sweetness seemed to instantly refresh Clayton’s memories about their countless moments of intimacy.They found comfort and satisfaction in each other.Clayton had always been infatuated with Nicole. Once he touched her, he could not extricate himself.He could not hide his inner longing, and he had to face his own obscene thoughts.Clayton had always restrained himself because he cared more about her feelings, but this time, he was agitated because he saw Nicole and Hamilton together at the club.He could not calm down because he knew that if Nicole got through this painful time without him, someone else would replace him.The Stantons had invited Hamilton home for dinner. Floyd allowed Hamilton, who had a good family background and good looks, to approach his daughter. He even asked Hamilton to pick up and drop off Chatty at school.These were crossing the line.Everyone did not expose Floyd’s thoughts, and Clayton did not dare to make a deeper guess about what i

Mrs. Zoe washed her hands and wanted to go to the kitchen to cook.She was happy today because Clayton was back. This family could finally be the same as before.The two children went to take a bath. Clayton did not worry about them because they could take care of themselves, so he voluntarily went to the kitchen to help.Seeing that his legs were injured, Mrs. Zoe smiled and asked him to go out.“Sir, I’ll make whatever you want to eat. You should rest outside.”Clayton smiled. His face was relaxed, and his voice was deep and pleasant.“It’s okay. You can cook your meal and the children’s meal. I’ll cook mine and Nicole’s.”Mrs. Zoe paused and immediately understood what he wanted to do.“Okay. Mr. Sloan. When you weren’t around, something just seemed missing at home. Even though everyone acted the same as before, it felt different, especially Madam. She seldom even talked. We all thought you were dead, and we could all tell that she was very sad. But she never cried in front
