The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 1693 Be With Me for One Day

Nicole stood in front of the window and looked at the traffic outside, but her heart could not calm down. She did not notice when someone came in behind her. She forced herself to compromise.

Yes, the most important thing now was not her feelings.

"I know it's you, Eric. My brother already told you about my family's situation. I hope that you can ask Dr. Felix to operate on my father. We can negotiate any terms you want."

Nicole finished speaking and closed her eyes. She used up all her willpower to say those few words.

The man behind her stood there. His gaze froze for a moment, and his face sank slightly when he looked at Nicole's back.

Nicole was unaware that Clayton was standing behind her.

She did not have time to think too much about anything, including Clayton's mood.

The person she cared about most now was Floyd.

Eric paused for a few seconds before speaking in a low and hoarse voice.

"Let's meet up and spend a day together, just the two o

f us, okay?"

Before she could respond, Eric immediately continued.

"As long as you agree, I'll immediately tell my uncle to return to Mediania to operate on your father. I really don't want to give up on you. I want a chance. All I want is for you to stay with me for one day. After that, I'll respect your choice whether you want to be with me or not."

There was tension in his voice. The few seconds he waited for Nicole's answer was extraordinarily torturous.

Eric felt like he was being cooked over a blazing fire. His heart felt like it was about to jump out of his throat.

He was afraid of her rejection.

"Nicole, we've always been a pair. Why can't we give each other a chance?"

There was a faint plea in his voice.

Nicole looked expressionlessly out the window. Her face was sullen and cold, and her gaze was indifferent.

She was already capable of being completely indifferent to Eric's emotions since she no longer bothered about having empathy for him. He was just too annoying.

After a long time, she replied in a clear and cold voice.

"Fine. See you tomorrow."

Then, she hung up the phone decisively and stared into the distance. She took a deep breath to ease her uncomfortable mood.

At this time, her eyes were icy and emitted a dense chill.

After a long time, she slowly calmed down and turned around. She froze.

Clayton stood behind her for who knows how long. He looked at her with dark eyes, unmoving.

He did not make a single sound.

It seemed like he had heard the conversation between Nicole and Eric just now.

At once, Nicole's heart clenched, and she looked at Clayton with a complicated gaze.

"You heard everything?"

Clayton's figure was upright, and his gaze was sunken, so it was impossible to know what he was thinking.

However, it certainly was not a pleasant look.

"Are you really going?"

Clayton heard everything.

Nicole nodded.

Clayton lowered his eyes and hid the gloom in his gaze. His emotions were very calm.

"Can you not go?"

Even if he was highly principled, he could not possibly watch his girlfriend meet her ex-husband who still coveted her.

Clayton knew that there was no longer a possibility between Eric and Nicole anymore.

However, he still felt very uncomfortable.

This discomfort made it hard for him to breathe.

Nicole looked at Clayton for a few seconds and shook her head.

Right now, she was so tired that she did not want to say a word of explanation.

It was not that Clayton did not understand. In a situation like this, she had no way of disagreeing with that kind of request.

The corners of Clayton's mouth twitched. Clayton turned around and walked out without a single word.

Nicole's heart sank abruptly. Her heart clenched for a moment, but she suppressed her impulse to go out and chase him.

It was natural for him to be angry.

She could not expect him to tolerate and understand her forever.

Nicole lowered her eyes and sat on the sofa, staring at a corner lost in thought.

However, the next second, she suddenly heard the sound of the door opening. It was so quick that she could not even turn her head to see who it was.

A familiar embrace suddenly wrapped her tightly from behind.
