The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 663 What Happened to Your Lip?

Nicole carried Lil Michael for a while and spun him around. She ran out of strength, so she put him down and stroked his soft curly hair. "Lil Michael, go say hello to Daddy."

Lil Michael nodded obediently and went to Clayton, then cupped his father's face and planted a big kiss on his cheek.

"Daddy, I miss you so much..."

The boy's tone was so perfunctory!

Clayton's smile looked like he was trying to cope with it. He had a feeling that he raised an ingrate.

"Although I don't quite believe it, since it's the New Year, I forgive you."

He reached out and pinched Lil Michael's cheeks as he laughed.

Lil Michael bounced around and went back to Nicole's side, taking her soft, pretty hand as he squinted his eyes.

"Pretty Lady, I prepared a gift for you! It'll come soon..."

Nicole blinked. "I have a gift for you too!"

Floyd hung up the phone and stood there as he beckoned to them. "Come on in! Don't let Lil Michael catch a cold!"

The forgotten Nicole was speechless.

Kai ran over gleefully. "Naha! You're out of favor!"

Nicole rolled her eyes. "Sour grapes!"

Kai froze and felt like beating his sister up.

They walked over. Clayton greeted Floyd politely, to which Floyd nodded in response. Floyd swept a glance at Nicole's face and stopped for a moment. "Lil N, what happened to your lip?"

Originally, everyone did not notice it, but when Floyd mentioned it, everyone looked over.

Nicole unnaturally pursed her lips and glared at Kai, who was smirking.

"I accidentally bumped into something."

Kai smiled playfully. His gaze swept over Clayton, who came over with Nicole.

"This excuse is a bit far-fetched, right?"

Floyd's face was cold as he kicked Kai. "You dare to talk to your sister like that?!"

Kai raised his hands in surrender and smiled humbly. "Dad, I was wrong!"

Nicole snorted coldly and walked inside.

In her heart, she cursed Eric Ferguson a million times.

Floyd looked at Clayton with a complicated gaze that was clearly not as amiable as just now.

Clayton only lowered his head and said nothing.

Lil Michael puffed up his cheeks in anger as he looked at Clayton with disdain.

"Daddy, I won't forgive you if you bully Pretty Lady!"

Clayton was dumbstruck and looked at him. "Do you still know your last name?!"

Lil Michael snorted arrogantly. "I will uphold justice regardless of blood relations!"

The butler welcomed everyone inside. He keenly noticed that the corners of Nicole's lips were bruised, but looking at Nicole's face, he did not dare to ask anything more. "Miss, what would you like to eat?"

Nicole said, "No need, I'll just have a cup of coffee."

"Okay."

The butler politely went to ask Clayton, "What would you like to drink, Mr. Sloan?"

"The same, thanks."

The butler did not need to ask Floyd and Kai since they had been eating and drinking at home all day.

Floyd coughed and looked at Clayton.

"Mr. Sloan, did you come to pick up Michael?"

Clayton pursed his lips and nodded. "Yes, according to custom, we shouldn't disturb you for New Year's Eve."

Lil Michael's features were scrunched up as he was nervous.

He did not want to leave.

This was the first New Year's Eve with his pretty lady, so he wanted to countdown with her.

Floyd looked at Lil Michael longingly. In fact, he wanted Lil Michael to stay.

However, if the boy stayed back, Clayton must also stay.

Their relatives would come over in a moment, so if another man and child counted down to the New Year with them, gossip would certainly spread. It would not be good for Nicole.
