Hardworking and Kind Man
Nicole slept very soundly. When she felt that someone came in, she opened her eyes and sat u p in a
daze.
“You’re back?”
Clayton looked at her helplessly and smiled. “You didn’t go shopping? Are you tired? I called you a few
times, but you didn’t answer, so I called Ms. Quimbey. She said that you’ve been back a while ago.
Didn’t we agree that I’d pick you up?”
Nicole stretched out her arms, so Clayton went over and picked her up, then put her on the
sofa.
“Oh, I came back early.”
As for the reason, Nicole did not want to mention it right now.
Clayton did not mind and stroked her hair.
“Are you hungry? Do you want me to cook something for you?”
Nicole touched her stomach and nodded.
Clayton smiled, kissed her, then got up and went into the bedroom. He first went to change his clothes,
then went to the bathroom to wash his hands.
Nicole casually glanced at him and saw that he entered the bathroom. Her heart abruptly tightened,
and she panicked a little.
Clayton washed his hands, wiped them dry with a paper towel, and casually threw the paper towel in
the trash. However, he inadvertently caught sight of something. When he saw the thing that was
sticking out of the trash can, his face instantly stiffened.
Five minutes passed, then ten minutes passed.
Nicole could not sit still. When she was about to stand up to check out what was going on, she saw
Clayton walking out calmly from the bedroom.
His face was very calm with nothing unusual.
There was no disappointment or excitement.
Nicole could not figure out how she felt about that. She was not pregnant anyway, so he certainly did
not have anything to say.
She smiled. “What took so long?”
Clayton looked at her for a few seconds, then quickly shifted his gaze away. “I was just .
thinking of what to cook …”
Nicole sighed in relief. “Up to you, I can eat anything.”
Clayton turned around and went to the kitchen. It was only after a while before Nicole heard sounds
coming from the kitchen.
Nicole pursed her lips and instantly found a movie to watch. Halfway through it, Nicole felt bored and
went to the study to read some documents.
It was great that Kai joined the company. At least, Nicole did not need to work overtime
anymore. Daily new chapters in www.infobagh.com
Kai initially just wanted to go through the motions, but Logan and the other assistants did not let Kai off
the hook. They had to report on all matters, big or small, to Kai. They were adamant about getting an
answer from Kai, and if he did not answer their calls, they would go to the hospital to find him.
As a result, Kai was exhausted and could only obediently accept all of their arrangements, including
working overtime.
Thus, when Nicole saw the photo that Kai sent of him working late at night, she gave him a big thumbs
up.
Kai was speechless.
Not long after, Clayton came over and knocked on the door. His voice was warm and relaxed.” Babe,
shall we eat?”
Nicole answered, turned off the computer, and walked out.
The dishes on the table were sumptuous with many varieties, but they were light meals that were not
spicy or greasy.
Although Clayton usually prepared food with great care, it felt like something was different today.
Nicole smiled and walked over. “Thank you, my kind and hardworking Mr. Sloan.”
Clayton smiled and looked at her. “Don’t even. Let’s eat. They’re all your favorites.”
Nicole nodded. She had not eaten all day and finally had an appetite.
However, she only had a few bites. Before she could taste the spinach and shrimp soup in front of her,
her stomach churned, and that regurgitation feeling instantly surged. Daily new chapters in

Her face changed. She put down the bowl and immediately ran to the bathroom.
Clayton’s face became gloomy. He caught up with her in a few steps and gently patted her back. His
movements were just light enough to feel his cautiousness and nervousness.
Nicole rinsed her mouth, steadied her breath, and patted her chest.
