Intimidate the Kid
Clayton spoke indifferently, but Nicole’s eyes widened in shock. 2 “W-What?! That works?!”
Nicole had never heard of this.
It felt like Clayton had opened up a whole new world for her.
Clayton smiled slightly as if everything was in his control and going according to his plan.
“Yeah. As long as she forgets everything, she wouldn’t be able to outrightly identify you no matter how others threaten
her. I just ruined that person’s plan and made it impossible for her to continue. As long as Tina’s and Zach’s death
aren’t connected to you, we’ve succeeded.”
Nicole secretly marveled at Clayton’s plan. She looked at him with admiration in her eyes.
“Hubby, it’s all thanks to you!”
She reached out to put her arms around his neck and rubbed her face against his.
Clayton hugged her waist and smiled. This made everything he did today worthwhile.
The next second, they heard someone coughing from the stairs.
The two reluctantly let go of each other.
Jay frowned helplessly and looked at them. “How could you act so intimately in this public area?!”
Clayton respected Jay as an elder, so his face turned red when Jay scolded them.
Nicole did not care and said, “Why can’t I be intimate with my husband? Godfather, you’re so overbearing!”
Jay stared at her with wide eyes.
Floyd laughed from behind.
“You’re overbearing for talking back to your godfather.”
Jay nodded and pointed to Nicole.
“You little brat! How dare you talk back to your godfather?”
The corners of Nicole’s mouth twitched as she said perfunctorily, “ I was wrong, Godfather.”
Jay laughed helplessly. “This girl really hasn’t changed after ten years!”
Floyd scoffed. “What a hot temper!”
Clayton stood up and said with a smile, “Godfather, where will you be staying during this time? I
booked a presidential suite in a five- star hotel not far from here. Do you want to stay there?”
Jay smiled and Floyd waved his hand.
“No need. There are no women in this house, so there’s no inconvenience. Jay will stay here with me.
You can take Chatty home with you so that the two of us can catch up properly.”
Clayton glanced at Nicole, who heard this E=[uJ8QQnodded.
“Okay, then I won’t let Chatty disturb you. I didn’t expect two old men like you to have so much to talk
about! If Godfather was a woman, I would’ve thought I might have a stepmom soon!”
Jay could not help but laugh.
Kai, who was outside, carried Chatty on his shoulders and came in. Chatty tugged at Kai’s ears and
laughed so much that her eyes squinted.
Nicole saw that it was about time to leave and did not want to stay any longer.
“It’s getting late, so we’ll head home.”
Clayton nodded. Nicole looked at the two old men and said with a smile, “Goodnight, Dad! Goodnight,
Godfather!”
If Jay stayed at the Stanton Mansion, it would be inconvenient for the rest to stay back.
Floyd did not say much and asked the butler to send them off.
Grant and Aida also took the opportunity to leave. Kai and Julie followed suit.
Fischer was very reluctant to leave Chatty. However, Chatty did not hesitate to leave.
As a result, Fischer reluctantly held the door frame and stood there stiffly, staring in the direction that
Chatty left.
Jay called Fischer from behind.
“Lil Fish, it’s almost time to go to bed. Let’s go!”
Fischer walked over obediently and took Jay’s big hand.
Floyd looked at Jay enviously.
“Fish is such an obedient child. How did you teach him to behave so well?”
Jay smiled. “It comes naturally.”
After he said that, he took Fischer upstairs.
Floyd clicked his tongue and said, “That just means you intimidate the kid!”
In the car, Clayton drove while Nicole sat in the passenger seat, holding hands with him.
Chatty sat in the child seat at the back and looked at her parents’ fond gaze toward each other.
Luca sat next to Chatty, holding a baby bottle in his hand and handing it over to Chatty from time to
time. When Chatty took it impatiently, Luca breathed a sigh of relief. 1
Chatty wanted to climb over, but she could not untie the seat belt that restrained her little body.
She looked at Uncle Luca pleadingly, but Luca pretended not to see it.
Nicole said from the front, “Who could it be?”
Clayton knew what she was referring to and squeezed the back of her hand. He said with a smile,
“Don’t think too much about it. You’ll know eventually. Guessing is pointless. Since our biggest threat is
gone, the rest depends on how the other party acts.”
Nicole also knew that what he said was reasonable.
However, she could not help but think deeper.
She rubbed her temples. “Anyway, the enemy is in the dark while we’re out in the open, so we can’t
even take precautions.”
Clayton smiled.
The night sky was very dark.
The lights on the side of the road flickered past. Nicole’s face was lit intermittently and was as
gorgeous as usual.
The next afternoon, Shane sent updates from Southeast Asia.
