Clayton thought, 'Haven't I already met her friends and best friends as her boyfriend tonight? Why should we be afraid of them seeing us live together? Unless she doesn’t want anyone to know that our relationship is already this close. Did that mean she was ready to end this relationship anytime?'
Nicole realized that she said the wrong thing.
She did not know how to explain herself.
If the Stanton family heard of this, Floyd and Grant would not let Clayton off the hook.
However, seeing the light in Clayton's eyes extinguish little by little, she felt her heart break as if it was being squeezed. The pain drilled into her bones.
Just as Nicole was about to open her mouth to explain, Clayton stood up calmly with a warm and understanding smile on his face.
"Then you should rest well. I'll go upstairs first."
His tone remained calm without the slightest fluctuation.
However, Nicole heard a bone-piercing coldness.
Clayton opened the bedroom door and went out.
Nicole suddenly panicked.
She knew that if he left like this, they would be
completely over.
Nicole suddenly ran out, dropping one of her slippers, and hugged his waist from behind.
Clayton's body stiffened, but he still restrained his voice.
"Let go."
Nicole gritted her teeth and gripped on.
He was angry.
It was a very serious kind.
Clayton patted her hand. His voice softened and no coldness could be heard.
"Let go. I'm going up."
That tone was as if nothing was wrong.
However, Nicole still did not let go.
She hugged him tightly, her voice low and soft.
"What if I don't?"
Nicole knew what she was doing, but she could not help it. She did not want to hurt him in such a cruel way.
All those other worries could just get lost.
