The Situation isn’t Good
Clayton also did not have an appetite. He put down the cutlery, slowly wiped his mouth, and cleaned up
while she opened her gifts.
What Nicole enjoyed was obviously the process of opening presents.
As soon as she took them out, Clayton knew that a large portion of these things would be put away
Nicole came out of the dressing room happily. The smile on her face still had not faded.
Clayton walked over and hugged her. The implication in his eyes was clear.
“Let’s go take a shower?”
Nicole froze and blushed slightly.
Of course, she knew what was going to happen next. There was even vague anticipation in her heart.
She nodded and ran to the bathroom. Just as she was about to close the door, a hand stopped
her.
Her heart jumped as she watched Clayton come in from the doorway. His dark eyes shone with a
meaningful light as he looked at her like she was his prey. Daily new chapters in www.noveljar.com
“It’s already so late. Let’s shower together?”
His reason was high-sounding, making her unable to refuse.
Nicole looked at him with her hazy eyes that flickered. “We can’t…”
“We can…”
Clayton did not give her the opportunity to refuse. He lowered his head and wrapped his arms around
her waist, kissing her while bringing her inside. He turned on the shower along the way, and the two
people were instantly drenched together.
The two of them were entangled for an unknown amount of time. Nicole did not even have the strength
to lift her fingers. She lay on the bed unmoving like a puddle of water.
Behind her, Clayton gently covered her with the quilt and planted a soft kiss on her forehead.
Nicole thought he still wanted more and suddenly panicked, then pushed his arm away.
“No more…”
Her voice was soft and charming.
Clayton still had energy for another round, but his heart broke when he saw her looking so tired
He answered with a hoarse and soothing voice.
“Okay, go to sleep.”
He wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. His heart, which had been drained for several days,
gradually settled down.
Nicole relaxed and she fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow.
She felt that Clayton seemed like a different man after coming back from Liberty.
Although he was still as thoughtful as before, when he looked at her, he no longer deliberately hid his
emotions. Daily new chapters in www.noveljar.com When he looked at her, the undisguised emotions in
his dark eyes were like the sea that could swallow her up.
The next day.
Nicole was woken by the incessant sound of her phone ringing before dawn.
She did not want to answer the phone at all.
To the other side, Clayton looked at the caller ID, glanced at Nicole, and nudged her, but she did not
move.
After thinking about it, he picked up the phone himself.
“Kai?”
The caller was Kai.
