The Divorced Billionaire Heiress novel Chapter 2321

Chapter 2321 No Energy

At that time, Clayton was in the car, and his face was pale. It looked as if he had passed out, so he probably did not know that his car had knocked over Nicole.

Nicole was the only one who was brooding over this matter.

Clayton smiled slightly. "You can just ask me if you have any doubts. I'll tell you everything."

Nicole raised her eyelids and frowned. She instantly became hot-tempered and said angrily, “I don't want to ask anymore. You don't have to tell me anything!"

She stood up and walked to the room. Somehow, she felt like throwing a tantrum.

However, no matter how angry she was, she did not ask him to leave.

When Clayton went into the room with his cane, Nicole had already gone to the bathroom to wash up.

Her body was still a little sore, so she wanted to take a bath to relieve her fatigue.

Clayton waited for a while and read the magazine on the table, but he could not concentrate.

Thus, he quietly went out to Chatty’s room.

Clayton did not know if Fischer’s story was too exciting or too boring because the two children slept soundly in exaggerated and ungraceful positions.

Clayton glanced at his precious daughter warmly before he saw Fischer, who was about to roll over to Chatty.

He thought about it with a sullen face and ignored the pain in his leg to carry Fischer and send him back to his room.

After he put Fischer back, he poured a glass of warm water and took it to the bedroom.

Nicole just came out of the shower and finished her skincare routine.

Although she was exhausted, she had to make sure that she would still be in high spirits tomorrow so that no one could see any changes in her.

Moreover, today was different.

When Nicole came out, she changed into a long-sleeved nightgown. It made her cheeks look rosy and translucent.She was able to sort out her emotions while she took a bath.

Clayton put down the magazine in his hand when Nicole walked out. He covered his chest, walked behind her, and took a towel to help dry her hair.

His movements were familiar, gentle, and meticulous.

Nicole paused slightly. She was about to dodge him, but he forcefully massaged her head.

He said in a low voice, "I know that you recognized me as Jeff Lieberman. That's the fake identity I created for someone else in Canada back then."

Nicole was slightly shocked. She felt as if her heart had split open, and the hot liquid inside was surging out.

When Clayton finally told her the truth, Nicole was no longer angry. She only felt heartbroken.

“During the earthquake, I was washed downstream and was rescued by a boat. At that time, I could feel that my legs were broken. My legs were the least of my injuries then. I was in a coma for a long time because of a lung infection and broken ribs.

The doctors advised me to amputate my legs, but I refused. One of the doctors recognized me and sent me abroad. I only gained consciousness when I was abroad. I’m sorry I didn’t come back to you immediately."

Clayton rubbed her hair lightly as if he was holding something precious.

Nicole's eyes turned red and sore.

"What happened later?"

Clayton paused and continued in a low voice, "Later, I had to have plastic surgery because of a bone injury on my face. At that time, I was alone, and I didn't dare to come home because I didn’t want you all to see my face. Even I hated that face. It wasn't until you brought Chatty and Fischer to France that I couldn't help myself. I missed you all so much, so I booked out that amusement park and arranged for that never-before-seen musical. Fortunately, you guys came."

Nicole's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she felt a bitterness surging in her chest.

The musical was very strange because the content and form of the performance were what Chatty liked. Clayton even arranged their seats in advance.

Was that why he left in such a panic when Nicole sat in the back by accident that day?

At that time, they were in the dark, and Nicole could feel that something was wrong with that hunched-back person. It turned out that her gut feeling was right.
