Seeing that Kai and Nicole were about to quarrel again, Clayton rubbed his temples helplessly and took Nicole’s hand.
“Okay, okay… We’ll pick Julie up along the way. Hasn’t it been a long time since you’ve seen her? You can take this opportunity to talk to her!”
“My brother-in-law is still the best! Thanks! I’ll go home and wait for her then!”
Kai stood up, sent a message to Julie, and left without hesitation.
Fischer saw that Kai was leaving and took advantage of the situation to win the game.
He jumped in excitement.
Clayton looked at the boy with a stern expression and said in a warm and deep voice, “Go upstairs and sleep.”
Fischer nodded excitedly and did not dare to talk back to Clayton. He was happy with winning the game once.
Nicole watched as Floyd came down from the study and smiled at him.
“Dad, we’ll get going then.”
“It’s so late. Why don’t you stay for the night and leave tomorrow?”
“Third Brother is slacking off and wants us to pick Julie up on his behalf, so we should get going.”
“That little brat!”
Floyd did not insist and said, “Drive safe then.”
“Goodbye, Dad! Goodnight.”
Clayton smiled and nodded, then took Nicole’s hand and left.
Chatty did not go with them because she had more people to play with in the mansion and had more freedom here.
The driver was waiting for them outside.
Kai’s car had long since disappeared.
He fled faster than a rabbit.
Nicole called Julie when she arrived at the lobby of the club where Julie had a social engagement.
Julie did not reply for a while because she did not have time to look at her phone.
After waiting for ten minutes, Nicole vaguely saw a group of people coming out.
Clayton was sitting near the door, so Nicole urged him to lower the window and call out to Julie.
However, Clayton could not bring himself to do such a thing.
He just lowered the car window and looked outside helplessly before he turned back to Nicole.
The driver noticed this and did his best to call out to Julie. He lowered the window and waved his hand.
“Ms. Nixon, your ride is here...”
The driver’s voice immediately attracted that group of people.
It also rescued Clayton from this awkward situation.
Due to this, Clayton decided to give the driver a raise.
Julie and the others heard the driver.
When the others saw Clayton sitting in the back seat, they looked tense and hurriedly said something to Julie.
Julie looked to be in a dilemma as she glanced in the direction of the car, but she was too shy to refuse them.
She said a few words to the person next to her and walked over.
“You guys came quite quickly. Mr. Sloan, the people over there want to come over to say hello to you. Is it convenient for you?”
Julie glanced at Nicole and raised her eyebrows.
Needless to say, even though Nicole was not up for it, she would not want to put Julie on the spot in front of outsiders.
However, Clayton was different.
That was why Julie hesitated so much.
Clayton glanced at the people over there. His eyes were a little dark, and there was no emotion on his face, but he did not look interested.
However, he still turned his head and glanced at Nicole.
