Didn‘t Hear Anything
Harvey Sage handed Nicole’s phone to her, expressionless.
Nicole said, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
It was a call from Clayton, so Nicole picked it up.
“Pretty Lady, are you working overtime? Do you want me to pick you up?”
No one could resist Lil Michael’s soft and childish voice when he started to act cute.
Nicole smiled gently with her eyes. “I have to attend an event, so I can’t go home yet. Have you eaten
yet, Michael?”
“Oh no! What should I do? I won’t be able to eat without seeing you, Pretty Lady…” Lil Michael muttered
sadly.
Nicole was heartbroken and was about to persuade him to eat properly when another mature and gentle
voice came through
“Don’t listen to his nonsense. He didn’t have dinner yet, but he devoured all the snacks that you asked
Logan to send over

Clayton’s tone was a little helpless.
Lil Michael retorted, “I’m still growing, s o what’s wrong with eating some snacks?
Nicole’s tone was gentle as she said, “Lil Michael, listen to Daddy. You can’t eat too many snacks. I got
Logan to send over a lot of practice problems too, so remember to do your homework...”
Clayton’s low, mellow laughter came through before she realized that Clayton was on the other end of
the call.
“Don’t worry, not a single question will b e wasted.”
Fortunately, Nicole was not facing Clayton when she spoke in that tone to coax children. Otherwise, she
would have wanted to burrow into the ground.
Clayton changed the topic. “Are you going to the Aurora Club?”
It was not surprising that Clayton the bigshot would know about any activities i n the circle.
Nicole said, “Mm, are you coming too?”
Clayton was in a pickle. “Michael’s nanny
Clayton was in a p Michael’s nanny and bodyguard went to the hotel to pack some things, so I’m afraid
that I can’t get away…”
“It’s not an important event, so don’t take it to heart.”

“Are you alone?”
This was the question Clayton wanted to ask the most.
Nicole silently curled her lips. “When have I ever lacked a male companion?”
Clayton sighed. “Wait, I still think that you’re more important. I’ll get changed and head over.”
“Daddy, you’re hurting my pride too much!”
Lil Michael shouted in protest.
Nicole could not help but laugh. “I’m just bringing out the spokesperson for the company’s new product.
You can’t comet o steal the limelight.”
Clayton was silent for a moment.” Alright, you’re the boss.”
The two of them said a few more words and hung up the call.
The atmosphere in the car was quiet for a while.
The driver was already used to it, but this was the first time Harvey heard all these secrets.
After all, they were sitting quite close to each other in the car, so Harvey could hear the contents of the
phone call clearly.
Nicole finally realized that another person was there and felt regretful. This domestic violence guy won’t
go around talking nonsense, right?’
