The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric) novel Chapter 1027

Clayton laughed, but it sounded a little miserable.

When he heard the sound of the door opening, he froze and looked up to see that Nicole had walked out i n her bathrobe. Her hair was still wet.

Nicole looked at him quietly. Her heart was full of distress.

She hated herself a little. 'Why did I say that I wanted t o know these things? How could I make him recall the pain of the past all over again?'

Nicole walked up to him step by step.

Looking up at Clayton, Nicole reached out and touched his face. Her tone was tinged with guilt.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn’t have forced you to say this."

She knew that the truth would be shocking, but she did not expect it to be built on the first half of Clayton’s unfortunate life.

Clayton's eyes were slightly red and bloodshot.

He raised his hands and took Nicole into his arms.

His embrace was tight, and Nicole felt her heart break as she listened to his heartbeat.

Her tears could not help but flow as she sobbed faintly.

"Clayton, how did you grow up so well?"

It was too easy for an illegitimate son to turn bad in that kind of lavish environment. There must be no shortage of people around him who wanted to make him fall into hell.

However, Clayton did not fall. He did not rely on the power of the Sloan family.

He carved out a difficult path for himself with his own means, which allowed him and Michael to live a decent and honest life.

How did Clayton turn out so well?

Clayton's arms tightened around her as he buried his head in her shoulders. Those words seemed to cause the heaviness on his shoulders to suddenly dissipate.

'Right... How did I get through all that?’

Clayton had forgotten.

Quietly, he spoke.

"Maybe it's so I can stand here today and be someone worthy enough for you."

Nicole's existence made Clayton feel that his forbearance and struggle were meaningful.
