Clayton said, "Habits can be changed, not to mention professional habits."
These words were spoken carelessly, but his attitude was firm.
Nicole raised her eyebrows. Unexpectedly, her mood improved.
After dinner, Nicole did not see any surprises.
Although her heart was relieved, at the same time, she also felt a little disappointed.
Clayton took her hand and left.
The driver left, so Clayton became the driver.
The weather in October was not too cold nor too hot. It was just right.
It was just a little chilly at night.
When they returned home, Nicole did not see any surprises at home either.
It seemed that she was thinking too much tonight.
Nicole threw down her bag and took off her coat.
"I'm going to the study first..."
Clayton looked at her and suddenly called out to her.
"Labe..."
His voice was a little low and tense.
Nicole looked back.
Clayton did not say anything.
Nicole leaned against a side cabinet and looked at Clayton with smiling eyes. "You've been distracted all night. Do you have something to say?"
Clayton had always been calm and cool, but when it comes to Nicole, he could not stay calm.
From the time they started eating, although it was not obvious, Clayton had only been watching her eat and only had a few bites of food himself.
Clayton fidgeted his fingers. A trace of panic crossed his eyes.
After a long time.
Clayton raised his eyes to look at her. "Do you wanna know?”
Wait, those were not drones.
When a plane flew by, Nicole clearly saw that the drones did not even change their positions. There was not the slightest error in the formation.
However, the pale blue light was so clear and cold that it did not look like a projected image either.
The infinite vastness in front of her made Nicole feel like she was outside in the cold, dark night. However, i t felt like she was standing in mid-air along with those drones.
The shock of this moment was indescribable.
Nicole was still in awe when the man behind her wrapped his arms around her waist. His warm embrace instantly pulled her out of her astonishment.
In the next second, she felt something cold on her fingertips.
The cold band laced through her finger, and she understood in an instant what it was.
Her heart clenched for a moment.
Nicole subconsciously looked down and saw Clayton gently putting that ring on her. Then, he kissed her gently near her ear.
"I've been thinking about when I should give this to you, but I think if I keep thinking about it, I won't have a chance to give it to you today. But I don't want to wait until tomorrow..."
After Clayton said that, he took a step back and let go o f her. He then stepped forward with his back to the floor-to-ceiling window, and slowly knelt on one knee i n front of her.
