Levi fell silent.
“Auntie, I shouldn’t have told you. Just pretend you didn’t hear it. Otherwise, Chance will be very sad.”
Nicole forced a smile and patted his head.
“Okay, I didn’t hear anything. But you should stay away from the Ferguson family’s affairs in the future.”
Levi pursed his lips and snorted.
“Chance is afraid of him, but I’m not. He won’t dare to do anything to me!”
Clayton chuckled at the side and nodded in agreement.
“That’s true. Our Levi is amazing and doesn’t have to be scared of anyone. Also, not everyone is afraid of him.”
Levi nodded.
Clayton patted his head. “Finish this. I’ll treat you to dinner later. How about KFC?”
Nicole stared at him without speaking.
Levi said, “Daddy won’t let me eat KFC.”
“But I want to eat it, and I promised Chatty to buy some back for her. I can’t just break my promise!”
Clayton helplessly shrugged and explained to Nicole.
Nicole rolled her eyes. “Who asked you to agree to these unreasonable demands?”
Clayton said weakly, “I promised to buy it for her if she got full marks on her homework. I didn’t expect that she could really get a full score just for KFC!”
Nicole was speechless.
Finally, everyone finished eating and sent Levi home.
On the way, Levi was on the phone with Chance.
Chance should have recovered because he had the strength to speak.
Levi said a few words of comfort and did not discuss this matter because maintaining Chance’s self-esteem was what he should do as a good friend.
......
Half a month passed quietly.
Selena’s bar had been running smoothly.
Even if there were occasional drunken disturbances, they were resolved quickly.
Nathaniel showed up from time to time as if he did not give up on Selena.
He was a little stunned when he saw Nicole, Clayton, and their friends partying at the bar.
Ian and Clayton were standing shoulder to shoulder. They looked like brothers.
However, Clayton looked back to keep an eye on Nicole from time to time.
On the other hand, Lumi waited for the carefree Ian helplessly, but with affection.
Julie and Kai went to the dance floor and then went upstairs to the private room.
Selena, who was wiping a glass on the bar counter, watched the group of people heading upstairs.
She saw that Nathaniel was in a daze in front of her and smiled meaningfully.
“Nathaniel, what are you looking at? Do you know them?”
Nathaniel was taken aback for a moment and smiled.
“Yeah, I know them. But I won’t go over and say hello. After all, I’m here for you, Ms. Nelson.”
Selena casually put down the glass in her hand and picked up another glass.
Her movements were light but swift.
She had a sly smile on her face as if she had discovered some secret.
“Nathaniel, do I look like Nicole?”
Nathaniel froze. “What?”
Selena raised her eyebrows nonchalantly as if she would not be angry no matter what the answer was.
She did not deliberately have plastic surgery to look like Nicole.
Their resemblance was a coincidence. It was fate.
At this time, Selena seemed to understand the reason why Nathaniel came here all the time.
No wonder!
Selena put her hands on the table and looked at him with a smile and a gaze that could see through his mind.
“I asked you, do I look like Nicole?”
