After Clayton heard her words, the corners of his mouth swelled with a warm smile.

He was completely reassured.

From the beginning, Nicole had never said "I like you" before, but she was already prepared to like him.

That was enough.

Eric was not important. No matter what Eric did, it was impossible for him to get Nicole's heart again.

Clayton held her hand and did not let go.

Although Nicole was not used to it, she did not feel uncomfortable.

Clayton sent her to her door but did not go in.

He looked at her with a gentle smile. "Goodnight, Nicole."

Clayton lived just upstairs, so close to her.

Nicole smiled and waved. "Goodnight."

The two of them stood face to face, no one leaving first.

"You go first?" Nicole suggested.

Clayton said, "You go in first."

The two of them struggled for a while and Nicole's face quietly grew red.

The phone in the room suddenly rang, and she sighed i n relief. "Okay, I'll go in first!"

She ran inside as if she was fleeing.

Nicole heard the sound of the door closing and faintly froze. Did she forget to close the door?

Clayton closed the door for her and stood there for a while before slowly leaving.

The phone call was from Yvette. Nicole smiled and answered it.

"Hello?"

The sound of suppressed crying rang from the phone a s Yvette sobbed and hiccupped.

"Nicole, I was made a mistress. Sean was already married!"

Nicole was stunned. Before she had time to ask, she suddenly heard Sean's grumpy voice over the phone.

"Who are you calling? Didn't I tell you that I'll solve this matter?"

Yvette cried hysterically and cursed at him.

"Solve my *ss! Who do you think you are? I'm breaking up with you! Nicole, come and pick me up. I'm at-"

Before Yvette could finish, the phone was smashed on the ground and the call cut off.

Nicole called back but got a message saying the phone was turned off.

Her face sank. She looked at her phone that had been blocked and hurriedly went out.

Sean was beside Yvette and seemed to be controlling her freedom.

Nicole called Julie. "Yvette is being controlled by Sean. Do you know where he is now?"

It was Nicole's fault for not paying more attention to Sean Moore. Yvette would not be so helpless if she had investigated in advance.

Julie was surprised for a moment, and Nicole briefly told her about the phone call earlier.

She thought for a moment. "I remember before that Yvette asked me to help give Sean a gift that she got overseas. I still remember the address. I'll send it to you. We'll meet at the door." Nicole agreed. There was no time to say anything more. She took the elevator downstairs.

She went straight to the underground car park and drove out, rushing over to the address sent by Julie.

Along the way, she contacted the bodyguards.

Grant called her immediately after she hung up.

Nicole answered it.

Grant's tone was a little anxious. "What happened? Why did you suddenly call the bodyguards?"

Nicole was not surprised that Grant knew about this. There was no time for her to think.

"Yvette is in trouble. She's being controlled by Sean. I'm going over there now to check the situation, so I need manpower."

"Be careful."

Grant hung up after he spoke.

Nicole sighed, her heart feeling a little complicated.

The address was not far away. The security of the high-end neighborhood was naturally stricter, and she was worried that she would be stopped outside.

When she arrived at the door, Nicole looked around and found it somewhat familiar.

As soon as the security guards and bodyguards at the door saw her car, they politely went over and opened the barricade for her.

"Welcome home, Ms. Stanton..."

Oh, she remembered now. She had a house here too...
