Nicole patiently explained to Floyd that Chatty was taking a nap.
Then, she showed Floyd her new necklace.
Floyd put on his glasses and squinted at the necklace for a while.
"Don't you have a lot of these necklaces in your safe?"
Nicole explained patiently, "Same color, different styles."
Floyd could not understand a girl's obsession with jewelry details.
He perfunctorily complimented Nicole and called Clayton over.
"Are you going to Ian’s wedding with Nicole next week?"
Clayton was stunned for a moment and nodded his head.
"Yes, that's what I planned."
Floyd and Clayton tacitly understood that they had to be alert since there was a dangerous terrorist around them.
Nicole went into the kitchen to say hello to Mr. Anderson and came out with a snack.
Clayton took out a tissue for her and wiped her mouth.
It was such a natural action.
The three adults were eating.
Nicole lowered her head and ate seriously, but after a while, her plate was filled with all kinds of meat and vegetables.
Clayton knew what Nicole liked to eat and kept putting it on her plate.
Floyd saw this and felt annoyed.
He could not help but put down his fork and said, "You should have a balanced diet. Don't be a picky eater. Clayton, she should be eating more of the food that she doesn't like. Don't condone her bad habits.”
Clayton paused and nodded.
Nicole blinked and could not help but say," Dad, I eat nutritious meals every day! I won't have malnutrition because of this one meal..."
Floyd snorted coldly.
He noticed how Clayton spoiled Nicole so much, so how could she eat those nutritious meals obediently?
Floyd was exasperated throughout the meal.
Soon after, Floyd put down his cutlery.
Nicole and Clayton also finished their meal.
When Nicole drank water, she did not notice that the water was very hot, so she took a sip and spat it out.
The two men looked at her nervously.
Floyd's expression changed dramatically.
"What’s the matter?! I’ll call an ambulance. No no no, get the car ready! We'll go to the hospital!"
Clayton also went over =h&?VNU; carried her anxiously.
Nicole caught her breath and stuck out her tongue.
"I'm fine. I just got scalded."
Floyd and Clayton still looked nervous.
Nicole laughed. "I feel so much better now when I see you two looking so concerned!" Clayton was speechless.
He silently got up and took a glass of cold water.
Floyd was speechless as he thought, 'Did my daughter become stupid...?'
After a few days, it was Ian's wedding day.
Nicole had already prepared a gift, which was an equity transfer contract.
Back then, Ian failed to gain a firm foothold in Carter Corporation and was forced to step back. When Nicole defeated Ian's opponent, part of the equity was nominally in Nicole’s hands, but she did not accept it.
Now that Ian could stand on his own, Nicole handed over the shares in her name to Ian intact.
Aside from this, she also prepared a pair of matching Patek Philippe watches that were extremely valuable.
Clayton prepared an antique ornament that had no special characteristics except for being expensive. It was the most suitable gift.
Ian Carter’s wedding was not supposed to be too small in scale.
However, the Carters took into account the reputation of the Makinen family.
Lumi's and Samuel's divorce was considered a scandal that caused a huge commotion.
Ian lowered his head and laughed. He looked at the three ladies.
"How great would it be if you guys hijacked my wedding? I'll be super famous if that happens!”
Yvette poked his bubble. "No, you'll be infamous! You'll also implicate us!"
Everyone laughed.
Ian was decked out in his suit, and his facial features were stunning. He looked like a distinguished gentry.
Yvette saw that there was no one else in the room, so she coughed and asked him.
"Why didn't I know that you and Ms.
Makinen were so close? Didn't you always look down on the Makinen sisters for being brainless? Also, she's only been divorced for such a short time. Did you two get together before her divorce...?’
Yvette spoke without restraint, and every word was straight to the point.
In the end, she added, "Did you two get married because she's pregnant?"
Ian smiled helplessly and shrugged his shoulders.
He could not do anything about the many speculations from the outside world.
"Yeah, you guys guessed it right. We had a one-night stand before her divorce and she got pregnant, so I had to marry her."
The room became quiet.
Even Julie and Nicole were speechless.
On the hangers next to them were all the outfits that the newlyweds were going to change into. Even the words "Happy Marriage" were glued to the wall.
However, behind that phrase were many contributing reasons.
No one could have imagined it.
Ian smiled, sat there, and rubbed his hands.
"Don't look at me with such pitiful eyes. I'm now getting married and I'm about to have a child. Isn't that double the joy?"
Yvette said, "You mean, double the blow, right?"
Ian's smile faded slightly.
"You guys are my best friends, so I'll be honest with y’all. Although all of this is beyond my expectations, I don't reject this outcome. You guys know that I've been dating around for many years, but I've never fallen for a woman. As for Lumi, all I can say is that I may not have feelings for her, but she appeared at the right time."
