The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric) novel Chapter 1590

However, before Nicole could stop him, Clayton had already spoken.

"Raising Michael is my repayment to Liam, as well as my responsibility, but meeting you and protecting you is my instinct. At first, I questioned my purpose in pursuing you. Was it out of a momentary sense of novelty? Was liking you an illusion? But the longer we get to know each other, I feel like every time I get closer to you, it makes more sense. That’s why I want t o get even closer to you and understand you more. You're more important to me than you think."

Nicole's gaze froze for a moment.

Seeing that she was about to cry again, Clayton did not continue to speak.

Instead, he smiled and reached out to drop his hand o n top of her head.

"I didn't think much when I knew that there was a bomb. If I thought about it, I might have gotten scared too, alright?”

Nicole sniffled, suppressing the emotions that were sprouting in her heart. A certain emotion seemed to gush out.

She knew that maybe, in her heart, Clayton was more important than he thought too.

Nicole chuckled, obviously unconvinced.

"Is that so? Then why did you run so fast?"

"It’s my fault that I couldn't control my legs. I was worried that you were scared alone inside."

Clayton joked.

Nicole lowered her head. Her gaze dropped, and when she raised it again, her eyes rippled with a twinkling smile.

"No matter what, we were still very lucky. I'm the luckiest."

"Yes, you're the luckiest."

Nicole said, "Do you want anything?"

Clayton wrinkled his brows in confusion. "You mean t o repay me?”

Nicole paused and pursed her lips.

"My dad told me to ask you. He said that you saved his darling daughter, so you can ask for whatever you want."

Clayton laughed.

"Really?"

Nicole nodded.

According to Floyd's ability, as long as it was not something completely outrageous, even if Clayton asked him to give up Stanton Corporation, Floyd would actually consider it.

Clayton was about to brush it off, but Nicole could see through his thoughts.

She pressed on his hand and looked at him expectantly.

"Think about it seriously. What's your wish?"
