Without waiting for Clayton to say anything, Nicole muttered, "Why aren't you tired yet? I'm already sleepy!”
Clayton could not help but laugh. How could he bear t o sleep so easily?
After a second's pause, he moved to the side and made some space on the bed.
"Come up and sleep."
Nicole frowned. "No.”
Clayton pulled her arm and coaxed her gently. "Just rest for a while. You can go after I fall asleep later..."
Nicole pouted. He did not look like he had any intention of sleeping.
Seeing Clayton's stubborn look, she slowly climbed up and lay on her side.
Fortunately, the bed was soft and spacious. Otherwise, there would be no room for two people.
Nicole's sleepiness came flooding in as soon as she touched the pillow.
However, she did not forget that she was here to wait for him to sleep.
She tried to keep her eyes open. "Let me know when you want to fall asleep.”
Clayton smiled and patted her shoulder. "Okay. Close your eyes and have a rest first. I'll tell you when I want to sleep."
His voice was gentle and hoarse, and she could not stop her sleepiness in the quiet environment.
Thus, she closed her eyes.
Clayton looked at her with a smile. His eyes were warm, soft, and loving as if he could stare at her forever.
Gradually, his gaze went past her in another direction.
When he first went over, he used his connections to get in touch with Caleb’s archrival, Snakehead.
He wondered if Snakehead was involved in Eric's victory over Caleb.
If he was, then it would be more interesting.
Clayton was not a generous person.
Nicole was in danger because of Eric, but Eric refused t o save her. Even if Nicole forgot about this, Clayton would never forget.
His beloved was almost blown up.
