The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 923 Divorced or Widowed

However, in the eyes of some people, not denying it was the same as admitting it. Thus, Kai was "forced" to become a couple with Toelle.

Finally, Kai could not help but unbind them. Toelle went abroad to shoot a movie and tried to get an Academy Award, and their company took the opportunity to announce the "breakup". Thus, Toelle became Kai's ex-girlfriend.

Everything was going so well, but Toelle actually came back to replace Tube?

Kai did not even need to think to know that Toelle was definitely up to no good!

His relationship with Tube was already jittery like he was walking on thin ice. Toelle's appearance would cause a greater rift between them.

Kai was so angry that he threw the things in his hands, wanting to settle accounts with Toelle.

Clayton's bony fingers washed the vegetables in the water, clean and meticulous.

He smiled and said in a calm and deep voice, "Kai, I have dirt on her. Do you want them?"

Kai's footsteps paused, then he turned back to look at Clayton, who smiled harmlessly. "We're friends, so don't mention it."

Kai could not help but laugh. Clayton really was not an innocent and harmless little sheep. For Nicole's sake, Clayton was able to pinpoint other people's weaknesses.

What kind of person did Lil N set her eyes on?

Floyd, who was in the living room, could not help but come take a look. "Do you need help?"

He still had another son.

Kai looked around and turned with a smile, grabbing the vegetables in Clayton's hand.

"No need. My brother-in-law and I can handle the entire kitchen!"

Nicole leisurely slipped over and watched them washing the vegetables and joking around. She felt slightly incredulous. 'Didn't Kai dislike Clayton? Why did Kai change his attitude all of a sudden? Men's friendships were really mysterious!'

In less than half an hour, everyone sat down at the unfamiliar table.

There were five dishes and one soup, aromatic and vibrant. They looked like they came from a restaurant.

Floyd's gaze when he looked at Clayton became much milder.

Grant tasted them one by one and nodded with a cold face, expressing his satisfaction.

Kai said, "Wow, my brother-in-law's skill is truly amazing! Clayton, you're even better than the local master chefs..."

Kai's facial features twitched, and he looked at Nicole beside him with a stuffy heart. Nicole glared at him warningly.

Brother-in-law?

Clayton was naturally quite happy to be called that so naturally.

However, Nicole was embarrassed.

Floyd nodded as he ate. "It's really good. Did you learn this craft for Michael?"

Clayton's eyes flickered, but he did not hide it. He nodded.

"Yes, Michael was a picky eater when he was young, and I had quite a few accidents when I brought him out, so I had to learn to cook myself." Floyd nodded. A man learning how to cook halfway through his life would only be because of his wife and children.

"Michael's mother... Did she die or divorce you?"

At those words, the atmosphere at the dinner table fell into silence.

Nicole looked up at Floyd and gave him a desperate look.

However, Floyd refused to look at her.

"Can I ask that?"

Floyd looked at Clayton.

Clayton smiled and put down the spoon in his hand.

"She passed away."

Floyd nodded and did not continue to ask. He changed the topic.

Everyone secretly sighed in relief.

Clayton gave Nicole a placating glance, signaling that he was fine.

After the meal, Nicole started to shoo her family away, so Floyd reluctantly left with Grant and Kai.

Clayton helped her tidy up her things and went down to throw out the trash, then brought up a bag of fruit along the way.

Nicole raised her brows. "Mr. Sloan, I remember that the house you bought wasn't here."

Clayton smiled. "That one left a bad impression on you, so I sold it."

"No wonder you asked me to move out. Did you plan this?"
