Read of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat
The room fell into silence.
Right, they almost died.
After an unknown amount of time, the person outside knocked on the door again and came in.
Clayton regained his gentle and graceful look. “May I come in?”
Nicole smiled and nodded.
Yvette tactfully gave up her seat and even winked at Nicole. All this was seen by Clayton.
It was clear that his eyes were overflowing with joy. Nicole looked away and held her forehead.
She really wanted to pretend that she did not know Yvette.
Julie was also exasperated. What kind of person was this?
Ian coughed. “It’s almost time. I’ll go out for a walk and tell the others that I’m safe!”
Julie also followed.
Yvette wanted to stay, but she did not want to be the third wheel, so she followed them out after some
hesitation.
Clayton stood to the side, holding two eggs in his hand. His bony fingers hesitated for a moment before
he gently knocked them on the corner of the bedside table.
His movements were gentle, beautiful, and artistic.
A pair of otherworldly hands and a still-steaming egg seemed to have a warm visual effect.
“The conditions here aren’t very good, but I borrowed two eggs from the doctor next door. It’s nutritious,
at least…”
Nicole blinked and thought about Yvette’s words earlier. Her heart moved slightly.
’I shouldn’t have lied to you… I shouldn’t have scared you…’
Clayton’s lips curled up. His elegant and warm temperament seemed out of place with this humble room.
At that moment, his voice was soft and mellow. “Well, I forgive you since you’re injured.” Clayton peeled
the broken eggshell slowly and carefully, trying to conceal his clumsy movements. How could he bear to
blame her?
She was lucky to have survived, and he was incredibly grateful that he managed to find her. The
atmosphere was strangely quiet for a while.
Nicole decided to break the silence. “Is this the village’s medical aid station?” Clayton pursed his lips and
moved slightly. Her reflection rippled in his eyes. He laughed.
“No, this is the veterinary station.”
Nicole’s smile froze on her face, and her eyes involuntarily glanced at the IV she was hooked up to.
Clayton’s low laughter resounded from his chest. His gaze was gentle and doting.
It was as if he could see through her worries.
A radiant light flashed in his eyes. “Don’t worry, the medicine is for human use.” Nicole looked at his
smile and was a little dazed. Her heart beat faster. At that moment, time seemed to have frozen. The two
of them locked eyes. Clayton’s smile gradually faded, his eyes growing dark. His breath was extremely
close. The warm and soothing fragrance lingered as his elegant face gradually approached hers.
Nicole involuntarily held her breath.
However, just 20 centimeters away, Clayton did not come any closer and reached out to touch her hair
instead. The action was gentle and careful. “Thank goodness, you’re okay, Nicole.” Otherwise, he really
did not dare to think of what would happen if he had been there a second later. Nicole pursed her lips as
her eyes flickered.
“Why did you come over?”
Nicole thought that no one would come to save them. Even if there was, it would not be Clayton. Their
relationship was initially established because of their companies’ cooperation. Even if it was because she
saved Lil Michael on the streets of Europe a few years ago, according to the habits of a businessman, it
was nothing but a swap of interests. Therefore, she did not feel guilty when she got the project from
Clayton. Not everyone had the opportunity, and she had the strength.
Later on, Clayton’s feelings changed, which made Nicole a little overwhelmed. She never believed in
Clayton’s sincerity before.
