Something Meaningful
Angie’s personality was not like Caleb. Since she grew up around firearms, Angie was more indifferent
to human lives.
Angie could freely hurt the people around Eric even if they were his relatives, but she really could not
hate him.
She chased guns and smoke for most of her life, but she wanted to find security in a cold and
independent man.
Nicole looked at her deeply, then got into the car without hesitation.
Luca threw the man in his hand to the ground and signaled his men to get into the SUV before he got
into Nicole’s car.
At a time like this, close protection was the best.
Nicole’s car reversed, turned the corner, and drove away.
It soon disappeared into traffic.
The car was only blocked for less than ten minutes. The cars behind were not really affected, and the
situation instantly returned to normal.
On the way back, the atmosphere was quiet for a moment.
Nicole opened her eyes and ordered softly. “Have someone follow Angie to see if she’s really
gone.”
Luca nodded and did not hesitate. He immediately called someone.
Nicole was not surprised that Angie was leaving. She was just surprised at Angie’s attitude.
Plus, she had covered her abdomen earlier. Although it was very brief, Nicole still noticed this detail.
Nicole did not want to investigate things that had nothing to do with her, but she had to make sure that
Angie was truly no longer a threat to her.
Not long after
The car arrived downstairs.
Nicole went straight from the garage to the elevator.
The moment the elevator doors opened, Clayton was already standing there.
He smiled slowly. His eyes tinged with joy.
“I just called and asked Mr. Carter about your party. I was just about to pick you up from the bar, but
you came back. We’re too in sync!”
Then, Clayton held out his arms for a hug.
Nicole smiled and sighed in relief, walking over to hug him. His warm and refreshing scent made her
long for it.
She had started to get a little addicted to it.
Clayton’s hand loosely wrapped around her waist before slowly tightening. Then, he picked her up and
kissed her.
Nicole was caught off guard and pushed him aside, opening her eyes.
“You haven’t taken your meds yet, right?”
Clayton blinked. His eyes were sunken and dark, and his warm voice was slightly husky.
“I just took them, so I need to exercise a little…”
It was very suggestive.
Nicole pushed his body, but he did not budge. “Can’t we do something meaningful?”
Clayton was very innocent. “Isn’t this meaningful?”
Before she could respond, they fell onto the bed.
Although they had been living together since they came back, with Clayton’s physical condition, he
could not afford any strenuous activities.
He gradually recovered, so she did not want to aggravate him.
Nicole slowly let loose and soon softened into a puddle of goo.
The both of them did not have the consciousness to go to work and slept until noon.
When Nicole woke up, the bed beside her was empty.
However, she vaguely heard the sound of something frying outside.
This feeling was really warm.
Nicole washed up and put on a face mask. When she went out, she met Clayton, who was just about to
come in to call her.
They froze for a moment. He subconsciously reached out to touch her face, but then withdrew his
hand.
“Will it be done soon? The food will get cold.”
Nicole said, “It takes fifteen minutes, and not a minute less.”
Clayton was distressed for an instant before immediately going back to start the stove,
simmering the soup under low heat so it did not get cold.
She laughed. “Mr. Sloan, you’re really becoming more and more like a family cook!”
Clayton smiled. His broad back was moving around methodically.
“This is my lifelong pursuit.” It was clear that he was enjoying it.
Nicole was about to say something when her phone rang.
