The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 649 Fatherly Love

Floyd Stanton cooed on the side. "Don't worry, you don't have to go. Baby, go upstairs and sleep."

Lil Michael obediently muttered and settled down. Clayton carried his son. While lying on Clayton's shoulders, Lil Michael pointed to the stairs. "I wanna go back to my room to sleep!"

Clayton was speechless. 'Do you have to be so obvious when pretending?'

Nicole smiled as she looked at Lil Michael's petulance. Everyone suddenly quieted down as they were afraid of waking the boy up.

It looked like no one could tell that this Lil Michael was just acting.

Clayton stiffened his body and could only carry him upstairs cautiously as Kai led the way.

Once they got to Michael's room, Kai watched as Clayton skillfully tucked the boy in bed and could not help but sigh.

"Sigh... Fatherly love..."

Clayton froze for a moment. After Kai turned away, Clayton faintly glanced at Lil Michael's face.

"Little sycophant!"

Lil Michael rolled over, obviously not wanting to hear his father talking.

Clayton went downstairs and watched the three Stantons talking and laughing.

Nicole said something, which made Floyd lose his temper that he took the pillow next to him and threw it at Kai's head.

Kai muttered aggrievedly, "Clayton has such fatherly love, what about our family?!"

Floyd was so angry that he wanted to hit Kai. "You destroyed the jade I've treasured for many years, and you still expect fatherly love?! Watch how I'll beat you up!" Clayton coughed slightly to make his presence known, so Floyd suppressed his anger and exchanged pleasantries with him.

"It's getting late, so I won't bother you any longer. Chairman Stanton, thanks for taking care of Michael. I'll come over another day to pay my respects."

"Oh, don't worry about it. Our family is missing a small child. I have so many children, but none of them can please me. Feel free to leave Lil Michael with me..." After a few more words, Clayton left the Stanton Mansion. Nicole also went upstairs to rest. The wine she drank earlier finally kicked in and made her a little dizzy. Kai followed Nicole and asked, "Should I ask how Julie's doing?"

Nicole raised an eyebrow. "No. You both need some time to cool off. If you keep bothering her, she'll only hate you more!"

It was better to let Julie date Roman without worries.

Kai looked at her. "You're right!"

The weather got colder as it was almost the New Year.

Ferguson Corporation.

Eric's narrow eyes carried a chill as he leaned back in his chair and held a cigarette between his fingers with his arm resting on the armrest. "Have you thought of something?" Toto shivered as he sat on the side and looked at the book in his hand - "100 Ways to Keep Your Wife Happy".

He somehow killed a few batches of fish, so Eric made Toto come over to be with him every second of the day as a bodyguard.

Toto was initially quite confident that Eric and Nicole could reconcile, but the man did not go by the book, and the woman did not fall for any tricks, so Toto was all out of ideas.

"M-Mr. Ferguson... I think that I have no talent in this business. Maybe I'd better give up..."

Eric coldly snorted as his icy eyes swept over Toto. "Do you want to be fed to fish in the Seine?"

"I think I can still try again!"

Toto forced a smile. 'Staying alive is still more important!"

He had been studying books all day and finally came up with a foolproof plan.

"Mr. Ferguson, you must create a pining and restrained image now. Don't go wandering around in front of Ms. Stanton because you miss her, but be melancholy because you miss her so that you can get her attention!"

Eric touched his glabella. His voice was cold and deep. "How melancholy?"

The next night.

Clayton very diligently came to pick up Nicole from work with the excuse that he wanted to see Lil Michael.

Nicole had no reason to refuse, so she agreed.

She also offered to treat Clayton to dinner to show her gratitude for his help last night.

Clayton gladly agreed.
