Fischer also stood up and said, “Chatty, are you thirsty or hungry? If you’re tired, you can tell me, and I’ll carry you.”
Chatty nodded happily.
“Okay!”
Clayton cursed inwardly. ‘What a two-faced boy!’
Fischer smiled happily and walked up. Although he was thin, he was very agile, and he did not need Nicole to pull him along.
He was not tired at all. He just wanted to help Chatty relax a bit.
Now that Chatty reached her goal, Fischer would continue as usual.
Clayton was speechless at first, but he was subjected to Chatty’s brainwashing, which proved quite effective.
Chatty hugged and kissed Clayton from time to time and wiped Clayton’s sweat.
She said that he was the best dad in the world and praised him, saying that he was really good-looking and even more handsome than Fischer.
Chatty also said that she would learn from her mom and find a boyfriend like Daddy in the future.
…...
After a while, Clayton was much more spirited in carrying Chatty up the mountain.
He did not even complain about being tired. Nicole shook her head repeatedly when she saw his vigor.
Chatty was young and certainly had a bright future ahead!
When they were about two-thirds of the way through the journey, Nicole really could not stand the sight of them anymore and asked Clayton to put Chatty down.
She made a phone call and asked the assistant who was waiting for them at the top of the mountain to come down and pick Chatty up.
In just forty minutes, they arrived at the top of the mountain.
Chatty took a look and wanted to go back to sleep.
Nicole had no choice but to send Chatty and Fischer back to the hotel.
Clayton took off his jacket and stood there in a simple sweatsuit. People could not take their eyes off that tall and handsome man.
Nicole also stood there tiredly, but when she saw the beautiful scenery on the top of the mountain, the anxiety in her heart was swept away.
She looked around. Thin clouds shrouded the top of the mountain, which was dense with greenery. The place looked like a beautiful fantasy land.
Standing there and looking down, Nicole did not feel scared. On the contrary, it made her calm down instantly.
She felt refreshed.
Clayton quietly watched as she closed her eyes and relaxed. A smile subconsciously formed on her face.
“Gorgeous…”
Nicole nodded without opening her eyes.
“Mhmm! This trip is worth it!”
Clayton said, “I was talking about you.”
Nicole suddenly opened her eyes, and their eyes met. His gaze was so intense and affectionate that she could feel his surging love for her.
A cool breeze blew by and touched the tip of her heart.
Clayton stretched out his arms, and Nicole threw herself into his arms. The couple quietly enjoyed this moment while embracing each other.
After a while, Nicole’s phone rang.
It was a call from one of her assistants.
“Ms. Stanton, Mr. Churchill has just arrived at the hotel and proposed to have afternoon tea with you. He also mentioned that it would be even better if Mr. Sloan joined.”
Clayton heard the assistant’s words.
His face instantly darkened as if he had swallowed a fly. It was indescribable.
Nicole smiled. “Okay. I’ll go over later.”
Clayton frowned. “I don’t want to meet him.”
Nicole pinched his cheek understandingly and nodded with satisfaction.
“I know. I’m very glad that you can protect yourself so well.”
Clayton raised his eyebrows.
Nicole held the phone and smiled.
“I’ll go over by myself. This mountain isn’t very high. If it’s not cost-effective to develop a resort here, I think it’s better if we drop it. I have to go back and thank him for his kindness, then politely decline his offer.”
Clayton nodded in agreement.
“Right. Looking at the current situation, I think a hot spring resort isn’t suitable for this place. It’s too remote, and no one comes except for tourists. It’s not cost-effective for tourists to stay in the hot spring resort for one night. Besides…”
He hesitated to speak.
He had a bad feeling about this place.
It was a subtle feeling, but he could not tell what was wrong with it.
