Nicole made a fuss until her dress was slightly wrinkled.
Other guests saw this scene and knew that Clayton and Nicole had an extremely deep and sweet relationship.
Finally, Clayton stopped teasing Nicole when he saw that she was getting anxious.
He lowered his head, leaned forward, and pulled her body close to him.
The music played.
Coincidentally, they were right on the dance floor.
It was easiest to appease Nicole with a gentle kiss.
Clayton lingered on her lips reluctantly, and his footsteps moved gently with the music. The soothing classical music rang in his ears.
When everyone saw the couple, they smiled shyly, but no one stopped to watch. Everyone dragged their partners to the dance floor one after another.
Half of the song was over when Clayton raised his head slightly to look at the woman’s rosy lips, which were so charming and seductive that he wanted to bite them.
His throat moved, and his eyes darkened.
"Forget it, I'll spare you this time."
Nicole did not know if he was referring to what she said earlier or something else.
She gasped softly. When she saw so many people around her, her face flushed in an instant.
Nicole was so immersed in the kiss just now that she did not notice all these people.
She bit her lower lip, pulled Clayton's arm, and walked out.
Nicole was still not so thick-skinned to make out in public.
Clayton loosened his collar and followed her with a smile that reached his eyes.
They went to a place with few people, and Nicole breathed a sigh of relief.
"Next time, you have to pay attention to the occasion."
Clayton raised his eyebrows. He no longer looked angry.
"We're legally married, so what are you
afraid of?"
Nicole looked at Clayton’s innocent face and was speechless for a while.
She took a deep breath.
"Forget it. I’ll go check out the auction items.”
Actually, Nicole already knew what items were on auction before she got here.
Nicole was mainly interested in jewelry and was never interested in antiques.
However, Clayton would just buy anything that looked pleasing to the eye, as always.
Anyway, these antiques' value would only increase as gifts or as collector's items.
This was what Nicole particularly admired about Clayton.
Clayton smiled
Clayton was stunned.
Nicole smiled, let go of Clayton, and patted his shoulder with understanding.
"Go ahead. Earn big bucks!"
Clayton laughed helplessly and lowered his head to kiss the back of her hand.
"Don't go too far by yourself. I'll be right back."
He stood up straight and regained his usual gentlemanly poise.
Just as Nicole was about to turn and leave, Clayton grabbed her hand.
He frowned and said in a low voice, "You're so glad to leave me? Why don't you come with me?"
Nicole was silent.
She smiled and looked at him. Her eyes reflected the bright lights in the hall.
"I can't bear to part with you, and I want to be with you every minute, but your business is important, so go ahead. I'll watch you leave!"
Nicole's sweet talk instantly made Clayton feel satisfied and comfortable as he left.
Roland stood on the side and thought, 'Why do I have to see this...?’
As soon as Clayton left, Nicole’s smile faded. She looked at Roland.
"Why are you still standing there? Go on!"
Roland finally came to his senses and quickly caught up with Clayton's pace.
He did not expect that a successful person like Clayton would be even more clingy now that he was married than when he was dating Nicole.
Did they not have a cooling-off period?
