Manipulative and Scheming Man
Nicole and Clayton were dumbfounded.
Clayton’s face darkened.
He was annoyed and he looked away. ‘I shouldn’t be calculative with a kid…’
Clayton just squeezed Nicole’s palm to express his dissatisfaction.
Nicole laughed lightly. “Why would I break up with him?”
“This guy looks even weaker than before, as if he can just drop dead at any time. You should be with
someone a little healthier, that can live longer…”
The corner of Clayton’s eyes twitched. He was speechless.
Nicole let out a laugh. “Don’t worry. He’ll live long enough. He’s just not feeling well recently.”
Hayley nodded superficially and still had her doubts.
Soon after, Hayley smiled and spoke.
“Do you want me to be your guide? I’m very familiar with this place, so I know what’s nice here!”
Nicole was just about to refuse when Clayton, who was on the side, could not help but speak up.
“Sorry, I’m not feeling too well. I’m afraid that I can’t walk too far…”
Hayley did not conceal her disgusted gaze as she sized him up. ‘So what if he’s good-looking? He looks
like a sick chicken…?
Nicole quickly and nervously took his arm.
“You don’t feel well? Do you want to take a rest? Or do you want to go straight to the hospital?”
Clayton smiled and patted her hand. “I’m just a little tired. It doesn’t matter. Let’s go later?”
Of course, Nicole would not refuse.
Nicole turned around and said goodbye to Hayley. She then pulled Clayton into a cafe across the street.
Hayley stood there with her arms folded. She shook her head.’ What a manipulative scheming man…
Hmph! I could see through it at a glance!’
In the cafe, Clayton sat there, looked out the window, and breathed a sigh of relief.
It was great to finally have some peace.
Nicole saw that Clayton’s face did not change and believed that he was just tired.
The waiter came over. “Excuse me, what would you like to order?”
Nicole looked at him. “Sparkling water for him and a mocha for me please.”
“Sure, please wait a moment.”
Nicole smiled and looked at him. “You don’t need to go to the hospital?”
Clayton raised his eyebrows. “No need. I’ll be fine soon.”
He saw that Hayley had left and went back to her group of classmates.
Nicole saw through Clayton’s thoughts and could not help but laugh a little.
“If you don’t want her to be our guide, just say so. I was going t o refuse anyway.”
Clayton paused. His warm face blushed a little.
“I just think that she’s too loud.”
The two of them finished their drinks and continued to walk. They looked around at the youthful smiles
and became more relaxed.
Nicole could not help but sigh. “It’s nice to be young!”
