He’s Too Thoughtful
Nicole froze for a few seconds. “Why haven’t you told us before?” Yvette cocked her head and glanced in
Ian’s direction. “I was afraid that he’d find trouble if he knew. Adeline Zabel works well. Even Lance said
that she has a high IQ as long a s she doesn’t get emotional.” 20 Lumi did not know what the ladies were
whispering about. They looked like they had a tacit understanding, so she felt left out.
8 It was very awkward. “What are you guys talking about? Is Carter’s girlfriend looking for trouble?” From
her perspective, Lumi could only see the girl crying aggrievedly. Lumi was just watching the show. She
knew about and looked down on such ordinary girls’ tricks. 88 Only incapable women would use tears to
sway men. 5 Thus, from the time that girl showed up, the ladies had an indifferent attitude toward her.
Everyone was used to seeing such women trying to enter their social circle.
Although they did not outrightly reject her, it was impossible to integrate into the high-society ladies’ circle
by relying o n a man. Besides Ian, some other gentries also came with their girlfriends. 22 Thus,
everyone was used to it. Not long after, Ian came over in a huff. Lumi immediately shut up. Lumi could
not resist gossiping. “Carter, is your girlfriend angry? Why don’t you go and coax her?” 23 When Ian
heard this, he was in a very bad mood.
“Girlfriend? Who told you that she’s my girlfriend?” That delicate girl chased after Ian and heard his
words. In front of so many people, that girl could not bear to stay any longer.
Her eyes were red, and she covered her mouth as she immediately ran out, looking very hurt. Ian
Carter’s heartless look made many of them sigh. 82 How sincere could that girl’s affection be anyway?
Ian sat on the side and suddenly took a big gulp of wine. He took out a cigarette and was just about to
light it when he suddenly thought of something. He glanced at Nicole, then stuffed the cigarette back into
his pocket.
“Uh… I’m going out for a smoke…” 88 Nicole smiled. “Carter, there are so many people coming and
going from here. If that girl gets in trouble, you won’t be able to rid yourself of this responsibility. You
should just send her back.’ 5 » Ian’s face stiffened.
He seemed to have thought of this. He cursed, stood up, took his phone and jacket, and walked out. This
clubhouse was frequented by the op rich and famous. It was not easy to get in without a membership.
Those who could enter were either rich or powerful. There were certainly many ways to torment a girl
that went to their door. Thus, it was better not to get into this kind of trouble. Nicole just reminded Ian of
this fact. 18 Nicole’s phone lit up, and she glanced at i t. It was a message from Clayton. [Are you tired?
Do you want to go home and rest?] Nicole paused and turned off her phone. She did not want to reply.
The music in the room was deafening. It almost made her blood boil. After a few minutes, her phone
beeped again. 82 Clayton messaged her. [Are you hungry? I can take you out to eat something.] Nicole
silently turned off the phone.
