Nicole saw that Clayton was not angry and sighed in relief. "I already promised you. Of course, I won't suddenly change my mind."
She secretly glanced around. There was no one, so she took Clayton’s hand.
"Besides, who here is more suitable than you?"
Nicole’s face blushed as she spoke.
Fortunately, the lighting was dim, so no one could see i t clearly.
Clayton smiled as his eyes became even gentler.
Nicole's change towards him grew little by little. From being unfamiliar to being closer and affectionate. Clayton felt all of it.
She seemed to be getting closer to his world.
This feeling was very subtle, and Clayton wondered if i t was a good or bad thing.
When Floyd saw Nicole and Clayton come in arm-inarm, the expression on his face immediately became wonderful.
To others, Clayton was just a business partner to Stanton Corporation.
In reality, Floyd knew everything between them.
Floyd did not stop them, nor did he agree to it.
He wanted to let their relationship fall through on its own.
However, recently, there was no hint of it falling through.
An old friend on the side who came over to say hello followed Floyd's line of sight and smiled meaningfully.
"A girl will be married off when she’s of age. Look how well-matched Clayton and Nicole are. They're an ideal couple. The next wedding in the Stanton family will b e Nicole’s, right?"
Floyd's heart sank to the bottom.
"I still have three sons. Lil N will be the last. There's no hurry!"
The friend said, “You're so old-fashioned!"
Which family still insisted on their children getting married according to age?
If Clayton's family background was simpler and he did not have a son... If his family situation was more regular, then Floyd would have readily agreed.
After all, it would be like picking him out among the masses.
Unfortunately...
Floyd sighed and was about to turn away, not wanting to look any longer. Then, he heard a cold voice calling
