Chapter 1218

It’s Nothing Much

Clayton caught Nicole firmly and smiled. The two of them embraced each other tightly, neither letting
go. Nicole’s eyes stung as she sighed. “It hasn’t even been a day, and I already miss you.” Clayton
hugged her a little tighter. He gently patted Nicole’s back and stroked her hair.

“Me too.” His voice was low, husky, and warm. They did not notice that the people to the side had been
waiting for a long time. The man finally could not wait any longer and cleared his throat loudly. Nicole
froze faintly and let go. Grant stood there with a cold and solemn gaze and an indifferent expression.
“Big Brother?” Aida was also standing next to him. She waved her hand gently.

“Lil N…” Grant rolled his eyes. “We’ve been stand ing here since the beginning. You only see us now?!”
Aida could not help but laugh. Nicole frowned and looked at Clayton. “I… I thought that Clayton came
alone…” Unexpectedly, Grant was here with Aida too. Nicole instantly felt a little embarrassed. They
hugged for so long, and Grant had been watching from the side. It was such an embarrassing scene!
Grant looked at her speechlessly and raised his brows. “You went out for a while and caused trouble.

Instead of coming back straight away, you even slept there for a night before leaving?! You really don’t
know what dangers are out there!” Nicole stuck her tongue out. “I know that nothing will happen for the
time being. I’m not stupid.” Aida smiled and walked over, explaining in a gentle voice. “It’s good that
you’re fine. Your big brother was so worried that he couldn’t sleep the entire night. He came here to
wait for you before dawn broke and even wanted to pick you up in person, but he was afraid that such
a large commotion would attract attention and cause you trouble.” Nicole smiled.

“Your words are always the most pleasant, Aida. They’re much better than Grant’s for sure!” Grant
clicked his tongue and poked Nicole’s forehead with his finger. “You’re still being picky? Your sister-in-
law didn’t manage to sleep either because of you! She studied the laws in Liberty until the early hours
of the morning.” Nicole was stunned and looked at Aida’s elegant face. There were indeed dark circles



under her eyes that were covered by a layer of foundation. That was why Nicole did not notice. She
walked over to hug Aida. “Thank you, Aida.” Aida patted her back. ”You’re welcome. We’re a family.

I used to live in Liberty for several years, so I’m familiar with the laws there. It wasn’t hard.” Nicole
smiled. “When you guys hold your wedding, I’ll give you a huge gift…” Grant turned away speechlessly.
Aida could not help but laugh. “Let’s talk about this later and go home first. Your dad is waiting for you
at home…” Even Floyd knew about this? This matter spread too quickly. She silently looked at Logan.

Logan must be the one who told them. There was no one else. Logan looked away, pretending not to
see her gaze. Nicole paused and looked at Clayton, hesitating. Clayton had been waiting here for so
long. Was Nicole going to tell him to leave after just meeting him? She felt like a jerk! However, their
relationship was not public yet. As Nicole hesitated, Grant cleared his throat. “Come with us, Mr. Sloan.

My father specially invited you to join us.” Clayton originally wanted to refuse, but then he heard that
Floyd specially invited him. Grant did not seem like someone who would lie, so it was most likely true.
He could only nod and reply stiffly. “Okay, I’m also thinking of visiting Chairman Stanton.”
