In the luxury van not far from Stanton Tower.
A nanny and a bodyguard were sitting next to the blonde and curly-haired Lil Michael. The three of them sat there obediently with their hands on their knees like schoolchildren.
Opposite them was Clayton Sloan, who came uninvited.
Aside from Lil Michael, everyone else feared Clayton.
Thus, the nanny and bodyguard, who would usually give Lil Michael ideas on how to impress Nicole, kept their mouths shut and tried to reduce their presence.
Only Lil Michael dared to express his dissatisfaction.
"Daddy, please get out of the car. This is my date with Pretty Lady. I don't want a third wheel to disturb us!"
Lil Michael pouted and sat there with his hands on his waist, trying desperately to make his aura seem stronger.
Clayton was holding an iPad as he finished typing out the last email before he looked up at his son.
His voice was gentle.
"I happen to be free and have some work to discuss with Pretty Lady, so it's no harm for me to join you both."
"No way!"
Lil Michael's brows furrowed tightly in extreme dissatisfaction.
'No one can disturb my date with Pretty Lady, not even Daddy!'
Clayton hooked the corners of his lips.
"Michael, if Daddy doesn’t go, Eric Ferguson will take the opportunity to disturb you. Do you want to see him?"
Lil Michael lowered his head with a sad face. 'Of course not! I hate that mean mister even more!'
Clayton coaxed him in a serious tone. "Let's keep the goods within the family. We can't let outsiders take advantage of us. If Daddy and Pretty Lady have a good relationship, doesn't that mean that you and Pretty Lady have a good relationship too?"
Lil Michael raised his head in thought. ‘Hmm... What Daddy said makes a bit of sense. Compared to Mean Mister Eric Ferguson, Daddy is my family. But...'
The little boy looked at his father and said, "That's okay, Daddy. I can handle my relationship with Pretty Lady by myself. You don’t need to get involved!"
