Chapter 458: You Don't Have a Chance
Toto smiled radiantly and lied without batting an eye.
Nicole looked at Eric, who raised the cotton candy in his hand.
His gaze was gentle and deep.
"Well, do you like it?"
Nicole looked at Eric with a complicated expression: Cotton candy? This isn't at all like Eric's style!’ Before she could do
anything, Lil Michael excitedly ran over from her side.
"I like it! I like it"
As the crowd froze, Lil Michael took over the cotton candy and bit into it viciously.
"CMC! It's so sweet that my baby teeth are gonna fall off"
Lil Michael covered his little cheek and ran aggrievedly into Nicole's arms.
"Pretty Lady, my teeth hurt..."
Eric was exasperated, but he had to maintain his composure and pretend to be gentle and kind.
"Be careful then."
Eric had no other choice because he was at a disadvantage.
Thus, he could not simply offend anyone close to Nicole.
Nicole patted Lil Michael's fluffy curls.
She knew that Eric was pretending, but she did not expose him.
"Then don't eat it"
Lil Michael nodded his head.
"Only children eat candy.Mean Mister, you're so stingy.Pretty Lady, if you like, I'll make you a big cotton candy with gold, then you
can look at it every day!"
Anyway, Lil Michael was not as stingy as the mean Mr.Eric Ferguson Nicole was speechless and quickly refused.
"No, no...I don't like it"
No ordinary person could raise such a prodigal young master...
Nicole went to get Lil Michael's water bottle from his bag on the side Eric looked at Lil Michael's small face and smiled.
His voice was gentle as he deliberately teased him.
"You like Nicole, right?"
"Yeah, so what?"
Lil Michael folded his hands in front of his chest, looking like a little adult.
"I have to congratulate you then.Your daddy and Nicole are together, so you'll be her son."
Lil Michael's features instantly scrunched up.
His twisted little face was filled with shock and anger.
"What?!"
His tiny fists were clenched together.
Eric raised his eyebrows.
"You still don't know? Your daddy is chasing her..."
Just as his words fell, Clayton walked towards them holding the same colorful cotton candy.
Nicole turned around and was stunned.
'Why is everyone buying cotton candy?’ Clayton walked over to them, glanced at his son, and smiled gently at Nicole.
"Ms.Stanton, I just saw that the cotton candy that Mr.Ferguson wanted to give you was ruined by Michael.I apologize on his
behalf and hope that this will make it up."
He handed the cotton candy in his hand to Nicole.
Eric's eyes narrowed, but he did not show much aggression.
On the contrary, Lil Michael who was next to him furiously took the cotton candy from Clayton.
The little boy glared viciously at his father.
His face was red with anger.
He was wary and on guard.
"Daddy, Pretty Lady doesn't like cotton candy! Hmph!"
Although Lil Michael was just a kid, he was a smart kid! ‘Mean Mister is telling the truth?! Daddy is really taking advantage of this
opportunity to pursue my pretty lady! No way! Pretty Lady can only be mine! Even Daddy can't steal her from me! Lil Michael
glared fiercely at Clayton and handed the cotton candy to Eric.
"For you."
He would rather give it to Mean Mister than let his dad get the advantage.
That was because he knew that his pretty lady did not like Mean Mister.
Mean Mister was simply not his match.
Clayton's face was unchanged.
He still had a gentle smile on his face , but looking at his son's eyes, Clayton felt a little stunned and doubtful.
Lil Michael felt that he was unlucky enough to have Mean Mister as his love rival.
He thought that when h e inherited his father's estate, he could be with his pretty lady in a dignified manner.
‘Why did Daddy get involved?! Doesn't he know that Pretty Lady is mine?! Hmph!’Chapter 459: There's a Party Lil Michael
thought, ‘No one can take away my Pretty Lady, not even Daddy!’
When Eric saw this, a light and warm smile spread across his face.
Suddenly, Eric felt that Lil Michael was not so much of an eyesore as before.
"Mr.Sloan, don't get angry.Your son has always been like this.He takes after you..."
Clayton was speechless.
Before Clayton said anything, Lil Michael immediately pulled Nicole's hand and ran away in a fit of anger.
Nicole followed the boy to a quiet place, where he finally stopped and panted.
"Pretty Lady, among us three big men, who treat you the best?"
Lil Michael blinked his bright, clear eyes and said the most innocent words.
His sapphire eyes looked so pure.
Nicole was stunned.
‘Three men? Lil Michael, Eric, and Clayton? Big men?’ She could not understand what Lil Michael was thinking, but she still
coaxed him.
"Of course it's you!"
Lil Michael laughed happily and patted his chest proudly.
"That's for sure! I'm the best! The two of them are ugly, stingy, and old, so they simply can't compare with me!"
Nicole nodded.
"You're right!"
Lil Michael was a little shy as he stepped forward and took her pretty hand.
"Then...Wait for me to grow up.We'll be together forever!"
Nicole could not help but laugh.
‘Lil Michael is such a cutie."
She reached out and pinched his soft little cheek.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to grow up."
Lil Michael happily hugged her and rubbed his head against her palm .
He was delighted.
Nicole took Lil Michael back to the group.
Everyone continued to go around as if nothing had happened.
Floyd was happy with this trip.
After Clayton left in the afternoon, Nicole wanted to change destinations.
She proposed to go to Santos Island.
Naturally, no one had any objections, so they left on the same day.
Santos Island was perfect for surfing, especially in this weather.
Unfortunately, Nicole was not in the mood when facing Eric and Toto The next evening.
The light breeze blew away the heat.
Eric owned the hotel that they stayed in, so it was cleared out long before they arrived.
Floyd went out to mingle with the locals while the rest stayed at the hotel.
Nicole wore a light apricot long dress.
She looked vibrant, gentle, and very striking.
Eric was in the lobby's lounge listening to the hotel manager's report on this quarter's performance.
He was a little surprised to see Nicole coming out of the elevator.
"Going out?"
Nicole replied, "Mm, there's a party."
She then walked out the door.
Eric pursed his lips.
He did not get to ask her where the party was when he saw a Porsche parked at the hotel entrance.
Soon after, the person in the driver's seat got out of the car.
It was Clayton Sloan.
Eric's eyes instantly narrowed with danger and sharpness.
He wheeled himself over to them.
Clayton was opening the door for Nicole like a perfect gentleman.
When he saw Eric, he paused for a moment and nodded slightly.
"Mr.Ferguson."
Although Eric was sitting in a wheelchair, his powerful aura did not diminish one bit as he confronted Clayton with cold eyes.
"Mr.Sloan, what a coincidence..."
Clayton was the wild card in this entire trip.
‘He left and came back?’ Eric thought.
Clayton was never welcomed in the first place.
He could really affect Eric's mood at any time.
The sudden breeze blew Nicole's silk scarf off her shoulders and landed at Eric's feet.
Seeing this, Eric bent over to pick it up.
Just then, the other end was grabbed by Clayton.
Eric raised his eyes, which were dark, deep, and filled with coldness as he met Clayton's equally uncompromising gaze.
It was an unspoken rivalry.
No one let go of the scarf, nor did they take the initiative to speak to each other.
For a time, the atmosphere was stagnant...
