The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 383 Sincere Praise

Yvette stood not far away watching the little boy with a complicated gaze. This kid looked very cute, but the bouquet of white chrysanthemums in his hands was such an eyesore. Her mood was particularly complex.

'What's Nicole up to lately? Why is there a kid here with bereavement flowers?'

Just as Yvette was deep in thought, Nicole hurriedly came out and waved at Yvette.

"Why are you here?"

Yvette recollected her expression, but before she could open her mouth, the little boy ran over joyfully and hugged Nicole's thigh. He tilted his head up at her and blinked his clear and beautiful eyes. "Pretty Lady, I missed you so much..."

Yvette stood there dumbfounded.

Nicole chuckled and touched Lil Michael's chubby cheeks with a gentle gaze.

"I missed you too..."

The little boy handed her the bouquet. "These are your favorite flowers, Pretty Lady!"

Nicole took it with a complicated gaze and forced a smile. "Thank you."

Even she was not aware that her favorite flowers became white chrysanthemums.

Well, never mind. It was a child's kind intentions...

Yvette stood there in confusion. 'Nicole's favorite flowers are white chrysanthemums? Was it not Lily of the Valley?'

She slowly walked over. "Nicole, when did you get a little brother? Is he your father's illegitimate child?"

Yvette deliberately lowered her voice when she said the last few words.

Nicole rolled her eyes. "Do you think my dad has these genes?"

Her father and his family all had dark hair and brown eyes.

Although Clayton also had dark hair and brown eyes, his maternal family was from Northern Italy with blonde hair and blue eyes. Moreover, Clayton's wife was also blonde. Thus, the recessive gene was passed down to Michael.

Yvette nodded. 'That made sense...'

Nicole and her brothers' outstanding looks were completely inherited from their mother.

Lil Michael looked at Yvette. He was still amicable to Pretty Lady's friend since there was no need to compete with Yvette over Nicole anyway.

With that thought, Lil Michael smiled sweetly as his bright blue eyes sparkled.

"Hello, Madam!"

Yvette's fragile heart shattered in an instant.

She completely stiffened. 'He called Nicole "Pretty Lady" but I'm a "Madam"?!"

Her eyes instantly filled with rage, but Nicole hastily yanked her aside before she could explode.

"He's just a kid! You have to be tolerant! Go easy on him, okay?"

Yvette's body trembled with anger as she glared at the boy. At this moment, she felt like he was ugly in every aspect except his outer appearance! 'Hmph, what an ugly child!'

Lil Michael blinked his innocent eyes in apprehension, looking like a little fawn. He did not know why Pretty Lady's friend suddenly got angry. Suddenly, the anxious voice of Lil Michael's nanny came from his earphone. "Young Master, you need to be sweeter and learn to praise pretty ladies!"

Lil Michael's eyes widened with sudden realization. He stepped forward and took Yvette's hand.

His sapphire eyes were filled with sincerity as he praised her. "Pretty Madam, your clothes are nice!"

Yvette's expression instantly darkened. Anger swelled in her chest, unable to be suppressed nor let out, which almost suffocated her.

'So, I'm a "Pretty Madam" now? Only my clothes are nice?'

Yvette was a lady who was loved and praised everywhere she went. No one had ever said anything remotely insulting to her before. This was simply a great humiliation!

Nicole could not help but laugh, but she zipped her mouth when Yvette shot a look at her.

"Ahem... Beautiful Ms. Yvette, what did you want to see me for?"

She swung Yvette's arm as Yvette looked away in exasperation.

"Don't get me started. I'm going crazy from the blind dates my mom arranged for me lately. I came to see if you wanted to go shopping with me." Hearing this, Lil Michael quickly went forward to tug o n Nicole's hand, looking like he was afraid that Yvette would snatch his pretty lady from him. "I came here first! Pretty Madam, why don't you go replace someone else?"

The way he called her "Pretty Madam" made Yvette so angry that even her hair stood on end.

Nicole did not dare to drive Yvette away like this. Otherwise, with Yvette's character, she would

definitely replace trouble with Lil Michael later.

"Why don't we all go together?" Nicole suggested.
