Openly Boasting
“I bought two properties over there. I’ve also ordered one for Nicole so that we‘re on adiacent floors. It’s
very convenient.”
Clayton finished with a smile and took off the apron he was wearing.
Grant and Kai looked at each other.
Wow, how promising…
Clayton took the opportunity to look at Nicole in passing.
He was still shocked at why everyone from the Stanton family was here.
However, after some thought, Nicole was only properly discharged from the hospital today. Clayton felt
that he was a bit rude.
“Should I leave?”
Clayton spoke softly.
He was also afraid of disturbing their family reunion. After all, Clayton was still not formally introduced
to the Stanton family as Nicole’s boyfriend.
Nicole spoke in a low voice. “No, they came here specifically to see you.”
Clayton froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
Suddenly, Clayton felt embarrassed.
Nicole walked over and sat next to Floyd.
“I think it’s fine here. If it’s too big, it’ll seem very empty, and I won’t be able to use that much space. I’ll
also have to get people to come and clean often, so I’ll feel annoyed. It’s perfectly fine now.”
Floyd rolled her eyes. “Look at you. This house is only suitable for living alone. If there are more
people, won’t it get crowded?”
Clayton did not feel this way before, but at this moment, it was indeed a little small.
He thought of the Stanton Mansion. No matter how many people were there, they would not feel
crowded.
Clayton felt that Nicole should live in that kind of environment so that she could live in luxury
“Uncle Floyd is right. When the time comes, it still depends on your mood. You can live wherever you
want.”
Originally, Nicole wanted to retort when Clayton said the first sentence, but when she heard the words
that followed, her anger dissipated at once.
It seemed that Clayton had not yet reached the point of having no principles.
Nicole smiled and said to Floyd, “Look at how considerate Clayton is…”
As soon as she said that, Floyd froze for a second and rolled his eyes at her.
Who would compliment someone so openly?
Was she afraid that Floyd did not know her feelings?
Clayton felt even more embarrassed. He held his forehead and coughed. “Had I known that Uncle
Floyd and Nicole’s older brothers were coming, I would’ve prepared in advance. Sorry for being rude.”
This was Nicole’s house, and they were even cooking for themselves.
Clayton, who had always been proper and steady, also felt a little nervous.
Floyd waved his hand. “Don’t worry about it. It’s a minor thing.”
If it were someone else, Floyd could probably pick a fault, but he could not pick any fault with Clayton.
Clayton saved Nicole’s life, so this lack of courtesy was not worth mentioning.
Grant sat across the table and smiled, which was a rare occurrence.
“We came here this time to congratulate you and Lil N for getting discharged. We wanted Lil N to bring
you back to the mansion, but she said that you just got out of the hospital and shouldn’t travel too
much. Moreover, she said that you wouldn’t feel comfortable living in an unfamiliar environment. That’s
why we came over. Mr. Sloan, you don’t have to feel like you’re being rude. We came over without
giving prior notice, so it’s our fault.”
It was rare for Grant to speak so humbly.
Clayton’s heart instantly became more nervous.
To Clayton, Grant was even more difficult to deal with than Floyd.
“President Grant, you flatter me too much. Nicole’s just being too cautious. In fact, I usually have no
problem walking around.”
Clayton worded his words carefully.
Nicole laughed. Seeing that Clayton was so restrained, she finally said something to relieve him.
“The doctor said that he still has to be monitored at home for a few days. How can a sick person go to
someone’s house to thank them? Don’t be polite. My father, brothers, and sister-in-law willingly came
over.” Clayton breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her with a smile in his eyes.
Although it was dark outside, the warmth of the lights inside made it seem extraordinarily gentle and
calm.
“I’m sorry. I’ll be sure to thank you all later,” Clayton said.
