The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 419 Become a Stepmother

The remaining two could not help but laugh. Hayden Zink patted Theodore Shaw's shoulder and said, "If you don't mind that it's my third marriage, you can introduce me to your sister..." Theodore rolled his eyes and gritted his teeth. "Haha..."

Paul Newton laughed at the side and raised the glass in his hand.

"No matter what, Stanton Corporation is welldeserving of this project. Congratulations."

Nicole raised her eyebrows and lifted her glass in response. "Thank you, Mr. Newton."

Paul's eyes flickered. "I heard that Mr. Ferguson was injured. Is he okay? A few days ago, we had an appointment to go golfing, but his assistant pushed it off at the last minute. I was going to visit him, but I was just too caught up with work..."

Nicole said, "I'm not sure."

After all, the fact that Nicole was taking care of Eric was not known to anyone else but the Stanton family.

She did not want rumors flying all over the place.

Paul laughed. "Oh, right. How would you know about Mr. Ferguson's condition when you're already separated?"

Nicole's smile froze slightly. Her eyes were cold as she swept a glance at Paul Newton.

Although Paul made it seem unintentional, he was deliberately bringing it up on this occasion.

Paul looked at Nicole and Clayton with a slightly surprised expression.

"Could it be that Mr. Sloan still doesn't know about your relationship with Mr. Ferguson..."

The other two people standing on the side looked at Paul strangely. They did not understand why he was mentioning this matter at this time.

If there was something between Nicole and Clayton, mentioning this might affect their relationship.

Nicole smiled faintly. Her voice was cold.

"Mr. Newton, thanks for your concern, but there's no need to announce my relationship with Mr. Ferguson to everyone, is there?"

Paul's face stiffened. He smiled faintly. "It's a slip of the tongue."

Clayton's voice was light. "Mr. Newton, you don't need to concern yourself with this. I've known Ms. Stanton for a long time, so there's no need to bring up her personal affairs."

"I

As soon as he said this, Clayton's phone suddenly rang. He frowned slightly and looked at the group. " Please excuse me."

Nicole was left alone with the other three. She smiled as if nothing was wrong.

"Ms. Stanton, have you and Mr. Sloan known each other for a long time?" Paul asked her probingly.

Nicole raised her eyebrows and thought that he seemed overly concerned.

"I... Won't tell you."

Seeing Paul's stiff smile, Nicole laughed smugly and turned to replace a place to sit.

Somehow, Toto came out of nowhere dressed as a parvenu. There was even a rose sticking out of his suit jacket pocket.

"Ms. Stanton, I've inquired clearly..."

Nicole was startled and speechless when she saw him like this.

She wanted to pretend not to know him.

However, Toto was not self-aware and sat down by her side.

"Ms. Stanton, I just inquired about Clayton Sloan. Although he's Medianian, he's lived overseas as an expatriate for a long time and has a wide range of business. He's been single for so many years yet there's not even a single woman around him..."

Nicole frowned and interrupted him. "What are you trying to say?"

"Think about it... Such excellent conditions without a woman around him? I'm 80% sure that he's gay!" Toto spoke with confidence.

Nicole helplessly rubbed her temples.

"He has a son!"

Toto leaned in closer to Nicole and lowered his voice.

"I heard that his son doesn't even look like him. Even if Clayton Sloan isn't gay, I guess no one wants to be a stepmother to that kid..."

Toto sighed and held up his round chubby face with a longing look.

"They're both powerful men, but our Mr. Ferguson is totally clean. He doesn't have any messy scandals or a kid and only has eyes for you. He's simply so pure and noble. Comparing Clayton Sloan and our Mr. Ferguson, I'd totally choose Mr. Ferguson if I'm a woman!"
