The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 916 Unconventional Family

Floyd deliberately looked at Clayton with confused eyes.

It was as if he did not know that Clayton was here.

Clayton and Nicole were speechless.

He was standing here alive and well. Was Floyd deliberately pretending not to see him? Clayton immediately understood that this was a show of strength from his girlfriend's family. He saved Nicole's life, but if it was just simple gratitude, Floyd would not ignore him like that. However, Clayton was going to take his daughter away, so his attitude was naturally different. Clayton smiled, gentle and modest without the slightest trace of dissatisfaction.

"I couldn't bear to disturb you, so I didn't speak up. I hope you won't blame me for being rude."

Grant raised his brows. Not many people could stand someone unreasonable like Floyd.

Floyd paused and nodded with a smile.

Nicole quickly said, "Dad, it's thanks to Clayton's timely arrival that the four of us got out safely."

Floyd raised his brows and sized Clayton up.

"Mr. Sloan, you saved Nicole once again. I really don't know how to thank you."

Clayton said, "It's my fortune to be able to save her. Nicole being alive and happy is enough for me."

He smiled dotingly at Nicole.

Grant narrowed his eyes. It was clear at a glance that their relationship was not simple.

Floyd gave him an indecipherable smile and turned to look at Nicole in anger.

"You still want to play around at your age? You were lucky to have met Mr. Sloan this time. What if you hadn't?"

Nicole felt a burst of fear. The feeling of palpitations flashed in her heart, and her face became slightly pale.

Floyd immediately regretted his words after saying them. He could not bear to reprimand her. What if it scared her?

Then, Floyd snorted heavily and gave her a way out.

"You can watch meteor showers anywhere. When you go back, I'll get Grant to move all the astronomical telescope equipment to the house. You can invite your friends to watch from home, and you can eat snacks and listen to music at the same time! How nice does that sound?"

Grant was speechless.

Clayton's eyebrows twitched. He finally witnessed how the Stanton family spoiled Nicole.

Buying a set of advanced astronomical telescope equipment would cost close to nine figures. Even some planetariums could not meet this standard.

Nicole's face instantly became sunny as she smiled at Grant. "Thank you, Big Brother!"

Grant rubbed his temples and nodded.

"I'll put them in your study..."

They even decided on a place for her.

Grant was called away by a phone call, and Floyd intended to stay and take care of her personally, but she decisively rejected him.

Nicole used a lot of effort to coax her father to leave before she and Clayton finally sighed in relief.

Nicole smiled apologetically. "Since my father retired, the focus of his life became us and fishing. He didn't use to be like this."

Clayton nodded to express his understanding. "It's rare to see rich families like yours, where there's no strife and selfishness. Uncle Floyd raised you all very well."

The smile on Nicole's face deepened a little. "It wasn't easy for my dad to build the company, but he didn't neglect our growth either. What's there to fight over? We're all a family anyway." Clayton's brows moved, and there was warmth in his eyes.

He had seen the dark and dirty infighting of the gentry. As long as money was involved, there would be selfishness, and as long as there was selfishness, there would be conflict. However, the Stanton family was an exception.

He smiled. "Uncle Floyd seems to be wary of me. He most likely guessed our relationship."

Nicole paused. "He won't do anything unless I make it clear."

That was Floyd's character. No matter how much he liked or hated it, he would wait until the day Nicole personally spoke up.

Clayton's eyes were deep as he looked at her. "Then...

When will you make it clear?"
