The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 2184 Two-Faced Boy

Fischer also stood up and said, "Chatty, are you thirsty or hungry? If you're tired, you can tell me, and I'll carry you."

Chatty nodded happily.

"Okay!"

Clayton cursed inwardly. 'What a two-faced boy!'

Fischer smiled happily and walked up. Although he was thin, he was very agile, and he did not need Nicole to pull him along.

He was not tired at all. He just wanted to help Chatty relax a bit.

Now that Chatty reached her goal, Fischer would continue as usual.

Clayton was speechless at first, but he was subjected to Chatty's brainwashing, which proved quite effective.

Chatty hugged and kissed Clayton from time to time and wiped Clayton's sweat.

She said that he was the best dad in the world and praised him, saying that he was really good-looking and even more handsome than Fischer.

Chatty also said that she would learn from her mom and replace a boyfriend like Daddy in the future.

After a while, Clayton was much more spirited in carrying Chatty up the mountain.

He did not even complain about being tired. Nicole shook her head repeatedly when she saw his vigor.

Chatty was young and certainly had a bright future ahead!

When they were about two-thirds of the way through the journey, Nicole really could not stand the sight of them anymore and asked Clayton to put Chatty down. She made a phone call and asked the assistant who was waiting for them at the top of the mountain to come down and pick Chatty up.

In just forty minutes, they arrived at the top of the mountain.

Chatty took a look and wanted to go back to sleep.

Nicole had no choice but to send Chatty and Fischer back to the hotel.

Clayton took off his jacket and stood there in a simple sweatsuit. People could not take their eyes off that tall and handsome man.

Nicole also stood there tiredly, but when she saw the beautiful scenery on the top of the mountain, the anxiety in her heart was swept away.

She looked around. Thin clouds shrouded the top of the mountain, which was dense with greenery. The place looked like a beautiful fantasy land. Standing there and looking down, Nicole did not feel scared. On the contrary, it made her calm down instantly.

She felt refreshed.

Clayton quietly watched as she closed her eyes and relaxed. A smile subconsciously formed on her face.

"Gorgeous..."

Nicole nodded without opening her eyes.

"Mhmm! This trip is worth it!"

Clayton said, "I was talking about you."

Nicole suddenly opened her eyes, and their eyes met. His gaze was so intense and affectionate that she could feel his surging love for her.

A cool breeze blew by and touched the tip of her heart.

Clayton stretched out his arms, and Nicole threw herself into his arms. The couple quietly enjoyed this moment while embracing each other.

After a while, Nicole's phone rang.

It was a call from one of her assistants.

"Ms. Stanton, Mr. Churchill has just arrived at the hotel and proposed to have afternoon tea with you. He also mentioned that it would be even better if Mr. Sloan joined." Clayton heard the assistant's words.

His face instantly darkened as if he had swallowed a fly. It was indescribable.

Nicole smiled. "Okay. I'll go over later."

Clayton frowned. "I don't want to meet him."

Nicole pinched his cheek understandingly and nodded with satisfaction.

"I know. I'm very glad that you can protect yourself so well."

Clayton raised his eyebrows.

Nicole held the phone and smiled.

"I'll go over by myself. This mountain isn't very high. If it's not cost-effective to develop a resort here, I think it's better if we drop it. I have to go back and thank him for his kindness, then politely decline his offer."

Clayton nodded in agreement.

"Right. Looking at the current situation, I think a hot spring resort isn't suitable for this place. It's too remote, and no one comes except for tourists. It's not cost-effective for tourists to stay in the hot spring resort for one night. Besides..."

He hesitated to speak.

He had a bad feeling about this place.

It was a subtle feeling, but he could not tell what was wrong with it.

"Forget it. Go on then. Let me know when you're done talking with him, then I'll go and look for you."

Nicole nodded.

The couple reluctantly said their goodbyes.

Clayton looked at Nicole's departing back and suddenly felt an intense longing.

His heartbeat was extremely fast, but he quickly comforted himself that they would meet again soon in ten minutes.

When Nicole arrived at the hotel, many people were coming and going.

Although this was a hotel, it was actually a small two-story lodge.

The infrastructure and design were almost fifty years old. The place was dilapidated, and the bedsheets were yellow. Nicole did not know if the sheets had been changed.

The sound insulation of the room was not great, and the sanitary conditions were not up to standard.

This place was also cheap.

If there were other options, Nicole would not choose this place.

She made up her mind to take the cable car down the mountain at night so that they could go back after visiting other places.

It was enough to hike this mountain once.

There was a restaurant in this hotel. Euan sat in the greasy place in his clean and branded clothes.

He looked so out of place.

Euan saw Nicole come in and stood up happily.

However, when he saw that Nicole was alone, the joy on his face was reduced by half.

Nicole pretended not to notice and walked over.

"Mr. Churchill, just as well, I have something to tell you."

"Ms. Stanton, I know as soon as you open your mouth that you're not satisfied with this place..."

Euan held out his hand with a wry smile.

Not only dissatisfied.

This was torture for her!

Nicole smiled, but she did not say any harsh words.

"Stanton Corporation's focus will gradually shift out of the real estate industry. I'm afraid you'll have to replace another partner, Mr. Churchill."

Euan nodded.

Suddenly, there was a boom.

The loud noise engulfed the place.

In the next second, the tables and chairs in the dining room wobbled visibly.

Debris from the roof overhead also dropped right on their table.

Nicole's face turned pale. A bad premonition suddenly popped up in her mind.

She subconsciously looked out and saw a tourist falling to the ground. A crack appeared less than one meter away from him.

The crack on the ground was getting bigger and bigger like it was being ripped apart by a beast.

"It's an earthquake! Run quickly-"

Euan stood up in shock. When the tremors came again, he suddenly pulled Nicole and ran outside.

Nicole's face was pale, and she panicked for a while.

Before she walked out of the door, she suddenly felt her heart clench.

"Wait! My daughter is still inside!"

As she spoke, she turned around and ran in regardless of how violently the building was shaking.

There were piercing screams and terrified cries all around.

There was also a loud crash of something hitting the ground.

The ground was shaking violently. The fear brought about by natural disasters was far more intense and unavoidable than man-made tragedies.

It was really an earthquake.

Nicole's mind went blank. Her body trembled involuntarily, but she tried her best to calm herself down.

Right.

She must stay calm.

Nicole dodged the vase that was leaning over from the side. The next second, she heard the sound of the glass shattering onto the ground behind her.

It was sharp and frightening.

Nicole shouted at the top of her lungs. Her sharp voice was mixed with the sound of heavy objects falling around her.

She was terrified and flustered as she shouted, "Chatty! Fischer..."
