Chapter 982

Read of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

There was a moment of silence.

Clayton suddenly lifted his head. His smile was warm and light as usual.
“I heard that Mr. Ferguson sent you flowers.”



Nicole’s hand that was holding the cup faintly stiffened. ’He knew about that?’
Nicole really wondered if he planted some kind of spy around her.
She blinked. ”He told Mitchell to send it over. I gave it to Logan.”
This was so she could save a lot of trouble.

Clayton smiled, clearly understanding what she meant. ”Won’t Logan have a headache?”
Nicole shrugged her shoulders helplessly.



She did not want to kick up a fuss with Eric over some flowers.
It was not easy for everyone to be at peace with each other. Clayton paused and looked at her with warm
eyes.
”Don’t worry, I’ll go talk to him. There’s no reason to let you stand in front of me to protect me.”

In fact, ever since they got together, it was always Nicole who stepped in to deal with Eric.
Perhaps Nicole did not feel anything wrong with it and thought that this was something she should do.



However, Clayton thought differently.



It was because this was exactly what Eric wanted.



If Clayton kept hiding behind Nicole, Eric would only look down on him more. Clayton understood that
Eric had been waiting to confront him. However, Nicole did not think so.

“What do you have to say to him? It’s none of his business that we’re together.”

It was her freedom to do so. She had said it countless times. Clayton said, ”I have to go show off to him
so that he dies from anger…”

Nicole was speechless.

She did not think that Clayton was that kind of person.

The two of them chatted and laughed together for a long time. Logan even helped them to order their
dinner. It was Logan’s first time seeing a couple who dated in the office. It was truly incomprehensible!

Lil Michael slept in the library and could not stand it anymore after waking up, so he called Clayton and
asked his father to pick him up.

Clayton had no choice but to agree.

He picked up his jacket. His posture was cold and elegant as he looked back at Nicole. “Do you want to
come along?”

Nicole shook her head. “My dad is cooking tonight, so I’m going back to the mansion.” Clayton nodded in
disappointment and said with a very regretful tone, “I won’t be able to see you for a few dozen hours.
Just thinking about it makes me sad…” 3



“Then why don’t you come along?” Nicole looked at him jokingly. Clayton thought about it seriously
before looking at her. ” Can I?” Nicole’s smile faded. She was joking, but he took it seriously instead.

If she brought Clayton back, that meant that she wanted to get married. However, she did not want to
touch on marriage for the time being.

Looking at Nicole’s conflicted expression, Clayton smiled.

“I’m afraid I can’t today. I’ll be kicked out if I go empty- handed.”

She let out a sigh of relief. “Next time, then. Bye!” Nicole had already started waving without waiting for
Clayton’s response. She really was a girl who did not hide her feelings.

With her straightforward personality, how much effort did the Stanton family put in to make her sit in this
position? Clayton bowed his head with a smile and turned around to leave.

Instead of going to the library, his car went in the opposite direction.

Ferguson Corporation.

Although it was almost time to get off work, a person in a high position like Eric would not leave on time.
Time was money.

When Mitchell saw Clayton appear, he was truly shocked for a moment. ”Mitchell, right? Could you
please help me ask if Mr. Ferguson is available?” Mitchell knew that Eric was in a video conference and
did not like to be disturbed by others.

However, Clayton’s identity could not be equated with ordinary people. That was without mentioning how
wealthy Clayton was.

Even if Eric put in a lot of effort and wanted to cooperate with Clayton, he might not succeed. Moreover,
Clayton was now Nicole’s boyfriend!
