Chapter 457: Just a Fling
Nicole lowered her eyes.
"Forget it.I can't drag you into my mess because of my selfish reasons."
She knew very well that Eric would not believe a simple photo.
Eric was only so mad just now because he did not come to his senses.
Nicole withdrew her gaze and smiled.
"Goodnight, Mr.Sloan."
"Goodnight."
She went back to her room.
Nicole took a shower, changed into her pajamas, and was called over by her father to have a video call with the rest of the family.
Grant had some work matters to discuss with Nicole.
After the two of them sorted it out, the heaviness on Grant's brow remained unabated.
At that moment, Kai showed up on the screen.
Kai yelled, "Are you really dating Clayton Sloan?!"
Nicole knew that Kai was the biggest gossip queen in their family.
"No"
She was speechless.
Kai let out a sigh of relief.
"That's good.You can have a fling, but don't take it seriously.If you do, you're really a lost cause."
Nicole was speechless.
Grant said, "K has a point"
It was rare that Grant agreed with Kai.
They were really heartbroken to see Nicole in love because of her humility and cautiousness when she was with Eric back then.
To them, the person who was good enough for Nicole did not exist! Floyd hung up the call on the iPad.
He coughed a little.
"Never mind them.Lil N, you can be with whoever you want, rich or poor.Daddy won't mind.It’s not like we can't afford it, right?"
Nicole blinked and laughed out loud.
"Yes, yes, yes, but I still think that making money is more important.After all, with money, I can have as many men as I want!"
Floyd nodded solemnly.
"Right! I'm glad you can think that way"
Nicole chuckled as she left and went back to her room to sleep.
The next day.
Eric's arrangements were very thoughtful.
Since Clayton was only leaving in the afternoon, they could still travel together for the first half of the day.
When they arrived in Venice, Nicole felt the romance in the air.
It felt soft and warm.
She had no complaints.
There were no cars in the square.
The entire place felt like the nineteenth century like no time had passed since.
Floyd unknowingly walked with Clayton.
The both of them were very into their conversation as they walked along the square.
Lil Michael held Nicole's hand cheerfully and refused to let go.
This romantic trip with his pretty lady was a memory for a lifetime! Toto pushed Eric, who was agitated by Nicole and Lil Michael
holding hands.
However, he still tried to maintain a warm and loving smile on his face.
In his heart, he felt that Lil Michael was just as annoying as Clayton! Toto was worrying about Eric not getting to spend some
alone time with Nicole, so he quickened his footsteps.
He even bought a colorful cotton candy that looked like a fluffy cloud while he was at it and handed it to Eric.
Eric frowned at him with a cold face.
"I don't eat this" Eric said through gritted teeth.
Toto froze for a moment.
His smile was unnatural and twisted because his mood was too complicated.
"It's for you to give it to Ms.Stanton..."
Toto suddenly understood why Eric needed external aid in terms of relationships.
With Eric's own ability, h e would probably never succeed.
However, if Eric continued in this pattern, Toto would sooner or later get thrown into the Seine! Eric took it from Toto with a grunt.
Toto dared not mock him and hurriedly waved towards Nicole.
"Ms.Stanton!"
Nicole turned around.
Toto pushed Eric and ran over.
"Mr.Ferguson just saw this cotton candy and thinks that you'll like it very much.He knows that girls don't like to eat too much
sugar, but he hopes that Ms.Stanton can be like this cotton candy, sweet and happy every day!"
