Chapter 2110

He's Very Stingy

In the end, Michael did not get to hug his pretty lady as he wished.

However, his pretty lady changed.

That was obvious.

Back then, Nicole was an aloof and stubborn career woman.She was so beautiful that people could not
take their eyes off her.

Nicole was still bold and beautiful, but she was more gentle, radiant, and charming now.It seemed that
Clayton took good care of her.

Michael hugged Clayton reluctantly, looking listless.

To the side, Nicole laughed so hard that she clutched her belly.

Chatty and Fischer nervously and expectantly came over and looked up.

"Daddy, I want a hug..." She opened her arms.



Clayton’s heart softened as he thought, ‘My daughter is definitely better than my son.."

He immediately let go of Michael and was about to squat down to hug Chatty when Chatty twisted her
body and threw herself onto Michael.

"Big Brother! Hugsies..." Michael picked up Chatty with ease.

Chatty grinned happily.She looked so sweet like candy.




Clayton’s arms were empty, and he looked at his precious daughter speechlessly.

Nicole laughed even louder.

Next to them, Fischer opened his arms and followed Chatty.

"Big Brother! Hugsies..."

Michael looked at Fischer with a frown.

Nicole explained, "This is Fischer Malone.You can call him Lil Fish.He’s living here temporarily and is
six years younger than you."

Fischer was two years older than Chatty, but he was as weak as little Chatty.Michael nodded and
patted Fischer’s head.

"Boys don’t need hugs." Fischer put down his arms in despair.

When Michael put Chatty down, Fischer hugged Chatty and refused to let go.He also looked so
depressed.

Even Clayton could not stand it any longer.

Michael did not hug Fischer, but Fischer went to hug his daughter.

What a guy! Chatty was very protective of Fischer, her little follower.She held Fischer's hand and
insisted that Michael hugged him as well.

Michael was helpless.

Under Clayton’s oppressive gaze, Michael had no choice but to hug Fischer briefly.



However, to Fischer, it felt like an honor to be touched by his idol.

Fischer jumped up and down excitedly.

Michael hugged Fischer, so he naturally could not leave Levi behind.

Michael was very helpless.

The three young children jumped up and chattered on.

Clayton forgot something and took the silver case in from the car.

When Nicole saw it, she turned to ask Michael, "Is this yours?"

Michael raised his chin.

"No, it’s yours!" He smiled and looked at his pretty lady.

"Gold in Europe has risen in value and is the most valuable commodity now.Daddy has always been
stingy and certainly won't be so generous!"

Nicole paused and could not help but nod.

Michael was right.

Clayton had never been so "generous".

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Nicole touched Michael’s face and sighed a little.

"Our Lil Michael is all grown up now, but you have to change your taste." Michael looked at her with a
hurt and plaintive gaze.



Nicole smiled.She said this more than once, but Michael never changed his habits.

If someone targeted him, he might be in a lot of danger.

Michael had his own room in the Stanton Mansion, and the furnishings inside remained untouched.

Everyone happily ate dinner together while Clayton and Floyd talked in a low voice.

The children also played happily.

Nicole packed up her things before she went downstairs.The children were gathered together.

Chatty ingratiatingly moved a stool for Michael.

Nicole glanced at Fischer and saw Fischer ingratiatingly moving a stool for Chatty.

Levi looked at the three of them and sighed helplessly.He just sat on the floor because he did not want
to get a stool.It was getting late.

They were supposed to go back to their apartment, but Nicole thought that Clayton would be happy to
see Michael, so she proposed to stay over at the mansion that night.

Clayton did not object.It was not too late.

Chatty and Fischer played too much during the day, so they felt sleepy.

Fischer went to bed earlier than Chatty and lay down right beside her.

When Clayton saw this, he went to pick Fischer up.

"Daddy will send him back to his room.He won't sleep well like this."

"I want to sleep in his room too! He has an Ultraman pillow in his room."



Chatty was so sleepy that she could hardly keep her eyes open.

Clayton was silent for a few seconds.

"Chatty, sleep in your own room.Daddy will bring you his pillow."

"Okay."

Clayton really came out with the pillow that Fischer normally used to sleep on.Nicole was very puzzled
when she saw Clayton’s sneaky look.

"Fischer will be upset if wakes up and doesn’t see this pillow..."

Clayton said, "Chatty wants it."

Nicole was speechless.She really felt bad for Fischer.

Clayton tucked his daughter to bed and went to Michael’s room.

The father and son talked for a long time.

Nicole fell asleep in the room.

Clayton only came back in the middle of the night.He even smelled faintly like smoke.

The smell of smoke drifted into Nicole’s nostrils, waking her up.

They looked at each other in the silent night.

"What's wrong?" Clayton patted Nicole on the shoulder.

"Nothing.I'll take a shower first."



Nicole felt that something was wrong.

Did Michael encounter some sort of trouble? Why else would Clayton be so worried? Soon, Clayton
came out of the bathroom, clean and fresh.He saw the dim yellow light at the head of the bed and knew
that he had woken Nicole.

Clayton immediately felt guilty.

Nicole patted the empty space next to her.

"Tell me what’s going on." Clayton was silent.

He walked over, lay down, and turned off the light.The room was dark.

"I asked Michael just now, and he said that his mother’s family secretly contacted him." Nicole suddenly
woke up and looked at him in shock.

"What? Isn't his mother dead? She still has family around?" Clayton hummed.

"She has a big family, so they never thought of Michael.But in recent years, they dabbled in dangerous
business, so the men in their family disappeared one after another.Michael only has one aunt left, and
she wants Michael to go back."

When Nicole heard this, she was furious.

"They only remember that Michael exists when he’s so old.How could they do that? Besides, they’re in
a dangerous industry, so what if Michael gets into trouble?"

Clayton held Nicole’s hand and comforted her.

"I know.I’ve analyzed the pros and cons with him.Michael also understands that.He said he won't go
back for the time being."



Michael was raised by Clayton, so he would not be confused by other people’s words.What's more, that
family was selfish and cold.

Clayton did not like the conditions that they offered.

Michael was not someone who would be lured by money, so he would not be fooled.

However, through their conversation, Clayton could feel that Michael wanted to get to know more about
where his mother grew up.

Children would always miss and yearn for their lost relatives.

This was what Clayton feared.

Clayton was afraid that if Michael got to know his mother’s family, Michael would be trapped in a
quagmire.
