A Little Trouble
Without waiting for Clayton to say anything, Nicole muttered, “Why aren’t you tired yet? I’m already
sleepy!”.
Clayton could not help but laugh. How could he bear to sleeps o easily?
After a second’s pause, he moved to the side and made some space on the bed.
“Come up and sleep.”
Nicole frowned. “No.”
Clayton pulled her arm and coaxed her gently. “Just rest for a while. You can go after I fall asleep later…”
Nicole pouted. He did not look like he had any intention of sleeping
Seeing Clayton’s stubborn look, she slowly climbed up and lay on her side.
Fortunately, the bed was soft and spacious. Otherwise, there would be no room for two people.
Nicole’s sleepiness came flooding in as soon as she touched the pillow.
However, she did not forget that she was here to wait for him t o sleep
She tried to keep her eyes open. “Let me know when you want to fall asleep.”
Clayton smiled and patted her shoulder. “Okay. Close your eyes and have a rest first. I’ll tell you when I
want to sleep.”
His voice was gentle and hoarse, and she could not stop her sleepiness in the quiet environment.
Thus, she closed her eyes.
Clayton looked at her with a smile. His eyes were warm, soft, and loving as if he could stare at her
forever.
Gradually, his gaze went past her in another direction.
When he first went over, he used his connections to get in touch with Caleb’s archrival, Snakehead.
He wondered if Snakehead was involved in Eric’s victory over
Caleb.
If he was, then it would be more interesting.
Clayton was not a generous person.
Nicole was in danger because of Eric, but Eric refused to save her. Even if Nicole forgot about this,
Clayton would never forget.
His beloved was almost blown up.
Nicole might forget it, but he could not.
In that case, Eric should not mind if he created a little trouble for him.
The next day.
The doctors came in to do their rounds.
They pushed the door in and did not expect to see such a scene.
Clayton had one hand under Nicole’s head and was sleeping silently. His sleeping face was handsome
with a few hints of fragility and elegance.
On the other hand, Nicole was sleeping sweetly on the side. Half of her face was covered by the quilt,
and she frowned slightly when she heard the sound of their mutual discussion the moment doctors
pushed the door in.
It looked like she was about to wake up.
The moment they pushed open the door, Clayton’s eyes snapped open.
It was a habit he developed over many years. The slightest abnormal movement would make him alert.
