Clayton stroked Nicole’s hair, knowing that she was not in a good mood. The two of them just sat on the sofa hugging each other while looking at the scenery outside.To be honest, Nicole was happy to see Lance. She was glad that he was trying to come out of his grief.However, when she saw that Lance was so thin like a skeleton, she inexplicably panicked for a moment.Thus, Nicole suggested having a barbecue party in the evening. She wanted everyone to gather together and be happy. At least, it was better than Lance staying by himself.For a moment, Nicole could understand the dead stillness in Lance’s eyes.He had no hope for life, but he still tried his best to live.However, his lover was no longer by his side. It was even more tragic that Yvette died in front of him.Thus, even if he acted as if nothing was wrong, it was still indescribably painful to breathe.In the evening at sunset, it was colder.The light shone through the thick clouds, forming the Tyndall effect. It

Fortunately, Clayton was beside Nicole. He carried her to the bathroom.“Come, let me help you.”Clayton was out of control last night and felt a little guilty, so he was extra caring and meticulous toward Nicole today. He even wanted to brush her teeth for her.Nicole was a little annoyed at his clinginess and urged him to get some clothes for her.Clayton left reluctantly.Soon, Nicole came out looking refreshed.She paused when she saw the clothes that Clayton chose for her.It was a plain turtleneck dress.How could she ski in a dress?Nicole looked at Clayton, perplexed.Clayton touched his nose. “I thought you don’t have the energy to ski today, so why don’t you stay in with me?”Nicole had no choice but to do so.What a pity!She wasted one day of her ski trip.After getting dressed, she suddenly thought, ‘Did Clayton do this on purpose? He must have been envious of me skiing yesterday!’When the two of them went downstairs, Chatty and Fischer had already started

Nicole reached out and hugged Chatty. Her voice was hoarse as she choked up.“Chatty, so many people love you!”“Of course!”“Do you still remember Uncle Lance?”“Mister Lance?”“He left you a present.”“I really like his grilled corn. When I grow up, I’ll make him grilled corn too!”Chatty said with a smile.Nicole’s chest tightened, and her face turned pale.When Clayton came downstairs, he saw this and became worried.Clayton walked over and hugged Nicole’s shoulder.“Do you have chest pain? Shall we go to the hospital?”Nicole shook her head and leaned against his shoulder.“No. I just haven’t had a good rest these days. I’ll be fine in a while…”Clayton sighed.He knew she was sad, but he felt that any words of comfort were pointless, so he did not say them.He just accompanied her quietly.Clayton sent Chatty and Fischer back to the Stanton Mansion because he planned to take Nicole out to have some fun.Where should he bring her?They could not go too far becau

Eric proposed to redo Chance’s birthday party.Chance was elated when he heard this.The venue of the party was a large villa that Eric owned.Eric asked Chance to invite his friends and classmates. It did not matter how many people he invited.The first person Chance invited was Levi, and the second was Selena.The other invitations were sent out by Mitchell.The next day, Selena thought that she would wait for Eric’s message.Thus, she got up early in the morning to tidy up her things, did a stock count of the drinks in the warehouse, and tallied the accounts.She found that this month’s profit doubled that of last month’s.She also thought that she was a talented businesswoman.If she kept this up, she would soon be able to open another branch.At noon, Selena looked at her phone and went for a meal with her colleagues.She enjoyed this normal life.Her hellish old life was finally over.At 3:30 pm, Eric called.Selena picked it up.Eric instantly questioned her.“W

Selena was not cautious or pretentious like the other rich young ladies.She always spoke faster than she could think.Eric thought to himself, ‘Selena is truly an oddball among the women I know. She’s so naive and stupid.’However, he did not say it out loud. If Selena could read his mind, she would probably splash a glass of wine on his face.Eric’s heart tightened, and he felt that it was better to focus on the bigger picture.He was patient and sincere as he advised her, “There are dresses upstairs. Go and change.”Not everyone could enjoy this kind of treatment.Eric was just afraid that others would look down on Selena. He was not looking down on her.If he had known that Selena was unprepared, he would have asked Mitchell to bring her dress shopping before coming over.On such an occasion, Selena’s dress was somewhat unacceptable.Selena frowned and looked at him with disgust.“I don’t wear other people’s clothes.”“Nobody wore them before.”The big brand names sent
