Chapter 573 What a Coincidence, Baby
Clayton immediately changed the topic.
The two of them talked for a while. Nicole also asked about Lil Michael’s recent situation
After hearing that Nicole had sent himna whole box of test papers, Lil Michael wass
O angry that he cried the whole night. Clayton could not even coax him to sleep.
Gradually, the atmosphere between them felt relaxed.
While they were laughing, a waiter’s welcome greeting sounded a bit abrupt. A few seconds later, a cold
gaze stared at the two people from the window.
Nicole only felt a chill from behind. Before she could react, a cold, hard arm suddenly landed on her
shoulders and wrapped around her waist without allowing her to resist as the man sat next to her.
She was slightly stunned. Eric had a smile on his face, but his dark eyes stared at her intently. He gritted
his teeth as he said, 14 What a coincidence, baby…”
That nickname made the temperature around them plunge to freezing point in a ninstant
Nicole looked at hin coldly. “Let go.”
“Nicole!” He suppressed the ging emotions under his eyes and said her name in a low voice.
‘Why is she so heartless? I’ve already been so humble, yet she still rejected all m y invites for breakfast,
lunch and dinner several days in a row Now, she’s actually free to have dinne with Clayton Sloan?! Does
that mean she just doesn’t want to eat with megh!’ Eric was so vexed that he could not stand i tany
longer
Across the table, Clayton’s eyes darkened. He laughed to break the awkward silence.
“Mr. Ferguson, there are people around watching us, so please show some respect to Ms. Stanton.”
Eric came out for dinner with many people behind him.
It just so happened that he ran into these two here
Eric’s gaze sank. He felt like he was quenched in ice. He gritted his teeth and slowly withdrew his hand
from her waist.
He needed to respect Nicole in public, Otherwise, it would just make Clayton seem like the more
sensible person among them
“Mr. Sloan, you’re so free to disregard your business and always put your attention on the wrong place
Eric was implying something “Mr. Ferguson, yolère a busy man, so don’t make yoo guests wait for you.
You should hurd over because we can’t afford to delay your business.”
Clayton held a warm smile, but his eyes had an uncompromising chill that was comparable to Eric’s.
Both men had the same opportunity with Nicole, so neither would admit defeat.
Eric could not remain calm when he thought that Clayton even had dinner with Nicole’s family. His chest
was heaving. How could he tolerate the two of them eating together alone?
He glanced at the group of people he had brought with him and said in a deep voice,
Mitchell, take the others with you. I’ll join you later.”
Mitchell answered and politely led the group to a booth far away.
Eric looked at Nicole’s clear eyes that did not care for him at all. His face instantly sank, but he only
dared to target Clayton.
He looked at Nicole Smd pretended to be intimate with her she reached out to tuck her hair lahind her
ears. Eric said fi a gentle voice, “I’ll come back soon. You should eat something first, so you don’t get
hungry later.”
