Chapter 438

Precious Hand

Nicole looked at Clayton’s hand with understanding and put on her seatbelt. She smiled and asked, “Mr.
Sloan, is it okay for you to take so much time off?” Jo Clayton said indifferently, “Yeah.

My project partner isn’t even around, so should I stay to talk to Gerard and Tucker? I’ve announced a
short break for that project and for them to get the core research done first.



When we get back, it’ll be just in time to see what they come up with.”

Nicole heard this and blushed with a little guilt. She felt like she was not doing her O job well. Clayton
paused for a moment. “Of course, Lil Michael really wants to come.



He hasn’t forgiven me for reprimanding him last night, so I ought to tag along.” Speaking of Lil Michael,
Nicole chuckled. “ So that’s what it is, huh? Mr. Sloan, you’re a really good father to Lil Michael. He must
love you very much.”



DC What a loving father and son relationship! what a loving interna som relations! Clayton smiled and
did not respond.

He thought to himself, ‘Love me?! My son just wants to inherit my estate as soon as possible! Clayton
had already instructed Lil Michael’s tutors to double his homework.





He would not let that little rascal enjoy this holiday.

Eric watched Nicole and Clayton conversing happily from behind. His eyes narrowed in displeasure.

The discomfort in his heart was getting stronger as if what he had been neglecting before was starting to
show.

Toto, who was next to Eric, also felt a sense of crisis. He thought that he could not just sit back and
watch them progress further.

He never liked Clayton because even though Clayton did not do anything too obvious, the way he
treated Nicole was clearly different.

From Toto’s rich experience, he was 80% sure that Clayton was interested in Nicole! Sure Wut Clayton
wes TICE After some thought, Toto coughed slightly.

“Ms. Stanton, why don’t we switch seats? I have a great view here…” DO Nicole frowned and did not
respond. Lil Michael, who was in front of them, said frankly, “Pretty Lady’s trying to sleep.

Don’t disturb her!” Toto snapped his mouth shut. ( Nicole raised her eyebrows and thought, That saves
me a lot of trouble.

Lil Michael is such a smart boy!’ Lil Michael grunted smugly. If Floyd did not drag Lil Michael to sit by him,
Lil Michael would definitely want to be with his pretty lady.

He was uncomfortable with his pretty lady sitting next to the mean mister, so he got his father to sub in
for him for a while. Nicole did not ask where they were going. Soon, she felt drowsy and fell asleep.

Unknowingly, her head rested on the shoulder of the man next to her. » After a few hours, Nicole was
shaken awake. Lil Michael’s cute face was awake. Lil Michael’s te face was magnified in front of her
eyes.



Lil Michael could not hold back his excitement. “Pretty Lady, look! It’s a castle!” SA Sea SO The sky was
turning dark. The helicopter hovered in the air. Nicole subconsciously looked outside the window and
saw lush hills and a brightly lit manor. It looked huge, majestic, and mysterious It looked like a private
chateau.

The helicopter landed on the designated helipad in the manor’s grounds. After a few hours on board, Lil
Michael could not hide his excitement and ran down. Floyd followed suit.

Clayton frowned slightly and swept a glance to the back. He then reached out his hand towards Nicole
like a perfect gentleman. Before Nicole could take his hand, Toto quickly blocked Clayton. “Let me! I’ll
hold Ms. Stanton’s precious hand…” od Toto stood between Clayton and Nicole.

He would not give Clayton the opportunity to help the lady down the stairs. would not give Cla, the
opportunity to help the lady down the stairs. Nicole rolled her eyes and walked down by herself. The air
was fresh.

The sky was dark and dotted with twinkling stars. Not far away, a few butlers and maids came over to
them. O Toto froze for a moment because Eric was still on the helicopter. He looked at Eric with an
awkward smile and turned to Nicole.

“Ms. Stanton, why don’t you help me to support Mr. Ferguson?”
