Floyd smiled and nodded before walking in with Clayton.
Nicole was left behind.
The butler ran over happily.
"Ms. Stanton, what would you like to eat? Shall I have the kitchen make your favorite dishes and dessert at noon?"
Nicole sighed and immediately nodded as she touched her stomach.
"I left in a hurry and didn't eat much for breakfast, so I'm really quite hungry."
The food on the plane was not great. She was also nauseous and did not have an appetite.
"How could you not have eaten breakfast? I'll get you some snacks to eat first.”
After the butler finished speaking, he immediately disappeared with the others.
Nicole walked in lazily and saw that Grant had already come back downstairs after changing his clothes. Aida was watching the maids work and helped them to make some drinks.
Clayton and Floyd were exchanging pleasantries in the living room.
Nicole felt like something was missing.
After Kai left, there was no one to pick on.
Floyd glanced at Nicole.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and come here."
Nicole quickly went over and sat down without another word.
She put on an expression like she was listening seriously to his teachings.
Floyd was rendered speechless by her.
His pent-up anger inexplicably dissipated.
"You should've informed the family about what happened last night so that we could settle the matter for you, but you dragged it out for an entire night instead?"
Nicole pursed her lips. "I came back safely anyway, so let’s not talk about that. Why don't we celebrate instead?"
"Celebrate?!" Floyd laughed in exasperation.
"Do you know what you did wrong?"
His voice suddenly lowered.
Even Clayton was stunned for a moment.
Grant took a cup of coffee and slowly walked over to sit down.
He was just a bystander.
Liberty."
She said it with contempt, a kind of condescending disdain that was unconcealed.
Clayton listened with an expressionless face from the side.
Although Clayton did not know much about the Stanton family, their family atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and all their children were remarkable. None of them were hedonistic.
It was clear that Floyd had prioritized good education for his children.
"Then you should've gotten rid of him secretly. Why did you send him back to the Sloan family?"
At those words, Floyd glanced at Clayton.
Clayton immediately took a stand.
"I'm an illegitimate child, and I didn’t choose which family to be born to. The Sloan family already sees me as a thorn in their side. I think that Nicole did the right thing."
Floyd's face looked a little better.
Floyd looked at Clayton with affection and heartache a s he spoke with a smile.
“Clayton, you're still the most principled man. From now on, you can think of this place as your home.
We're all your family."
