Chapter 1684

Did You Miss Me That Much?

Nicole wrapped her arms around Clayton’s neck and clung to him, nestled in his arms like a koala

Clayton was steady and unmoving like a mountain, smiling dotingly as he looked down at

her.

“Did you miss me that much?”

He stroked her head with one hand. His movements were incredibly gentle.

Nicole rubbed her chin and nodded. Her eyes were slightly sore.

Although it had only been two days, it felt like so many days had passed.

When Clayton was away, the house felt cold, and there was no one pampering her. It was not a nice
feeling at all.

There was a sense of loneliness.

Subconsciously, Nicole seemed to be inseparable from Clayton. This quiet sense of dependence made
her feel strange, but she did not resist it.

Clayton’s kiss landed on her lips, and the two people burned up quickly like a fire was lit between them.

However, just when it was about to get out of hand, Clayton let go and gently held her waist to keep her
from falling on the ground.

Nicole was very disappointed and muttered, “You don’t want to?”



When Clayton saw her pouting, he instantly remembered her seductive appearance last night and
wanted to swallow her up.

Clayton held back his racing heart, smiled, and kissed the tip of her nose. He coaxed her with a low
and suppressed voice.

“Be good. I’ll give it to you later. Let’s eat something first, okay?”

Nicole frowned and lightly punched him. Why did he make it sound like she was the dissatisfied one?

It was him who kept teasing her earlier.

Nicole grunted and pushed him away to sit down at the table. When she looked at the exquisite French
meal, the gloom in her heart suddenly disappeared.

It was an exquisite spread of dishes, and there was even dessert. It probably took a long time t o
prepare.

She looked up in shock. “You came back in the afternoon?”

Clayton smiled and set things up for her.

“Of course. I’ve been waiting for you all day. This surprise is getting cold…”



The corners of Nicole’s mouth curled up, and she could not conceal her happiness.

“You should’ve told me, then I wouldn’t have gone to work today.”



If Nicole knew that Clayton was coming back, she would not have gone to work even if she had to
pretend to be sick.

Clayton raised his brows. “Would it still be a surprise if I told you?”

He sat to the side and lit the candles. The atmosphere built up, and the whole room was enveloped in
warmth.

Nicole looked around. Not only had the place become tidy, but the lilies that she was too lazy t o throw
out were also replaced with Baby Breaths in full bloom.

She could not help but sigh. “I finally understand how important it is to have a virtuous wife.”

Clayton’s lips curled. “Don’t talk nonsense. We haven’t reached that point yet.”

It was incredibly satisfying to call her out with her attitude in the past.

Nicole was defeated and lowered her eyes, then raised her smile again.

*Is everything in Liberty settled?”

“There’s no hurry. We’ll take it slow. As long as we follow my plan, there won’t be any problems.”

Clayton smiled and cut the steak for her.

Nicole took a look, wrinkled her brows, and sighed.

“Although I really wanna eat, it’s a crime to eat at this hour!” “Did you have dinner at the office?”

“No.”

Clayton knew her habits and smiled.



“Just take a bite of each dish, then? There’s not much anyway. It’s the thought that counts.”

In order not to waste Clayton’s good intentions, she could only try a bite of each dish.

However, there were so many dishes on the table. Nicole regretted it at the end of the meal.

This feeling was really satisfying and terrifying at the same time. Clayton wiped the corner of her mouth
and reminded her with a smile,

“Your gift is in the dressing room and hasn’t been opened yet. Do you want to go check it out?”

Nicole froze, grinned, and immediately ran to the dressing room.

Only presents could make Nicole forget about all those calories she just ate,
