The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 489 A Family of Three

Tigger thought, 'How dare you question that I'm not a real tiger!'

It shook its tail and instantly felt that Lil Michael was not cute anymore.

Lil Michael frowned. To verify the tiger's authenticity, Lil Michael took a piece of beef jerky from the table and put it in Tigger's mouth.

"Eat it then, little tiger!"

Tigger desperately wanted to get rid of this kid's grasp, but it was too weak.

It felt so aggrieved.

Just when Nicole was about to help, Tigger waved his front paws in the air.

"I can't eat! I'm a fake tiger..."

Tigger's dignity as a fierce tiger was swept down the drain because of a kid.

It shook its fur and rested in Lil Michael's arms speechlessly as it stared aggrievedly at Nicole.

'Mama didn't even help me...'

Nicole bowed her head and ate quietly.

Since Clayton had expressed interest in her before, Nicole tried her best to hide the trace of awkwardness she felt.

The two adults did not mention a word of what happened before so it was uncomfortable, but Clayton would occasionally place some dishes on Nicole and Lil Michael's plates attentively. Nicole also felt Clayton's brief lingering gaze on her.

She could only pretend as if nothing had happened.

After dinner, the father and son pair sent Nicole home.

Lil Michael was so tired that he fell asleep in the car.

Nicole got out of the car with Tigger in her arms. Clayton brought out the box for her and looked at her apologetically.

"Lil Michael still doesn't understand that white chrysanthemums are bereavement flowers. I'll make sure to teach him properly next time."

Nicole chuckled. "It's okay. Children don't have malicious intent."

Clayton's smile was a little relaxed. "Will you like roses next time?"

He was testing the waters.

Nicole understood Clayton's meaning in an instant.

Roses were meant for lovers.

"I'd prefer cactus."

A cactus that rejects people.

Clayton raised an eyebrow and bowed his head as he laughed.

"Okay, I'm good at catering to people's preferences."

Meanwhile, at Imperial Gardens.

The husky pounced at Eric, who just got back.

Eric shooed it away with his cane in annoyance.

"Isn't Keith back already? Why didn't he take it away?"

Toto chased the dog around with a bowl of dog food.

"Mrs. Ludwig came back, but she didn't like the dog, so Young Master Ludwig asked us to keep it here for now."

"I don't like it either!"

Eric's face was cold and sullen. 'Keith is always replaceing trouble for me!'

He took out his phone to call Keith and waited in annoyance.

Keith picked up the call. "Gosh, Eerg, are you out of the game?"

"What do you mean?"

"Nicole and Clayton took Clayton's son for dinner at a Michelin Star restaurant. They even bought out the venue and look like a cute little family of three." Eric's sharp eyes sank at once. The aura around him was bitterly cold.

"Are they still there?"

His voice suppressed a fit of uncontrollable anger.

"They left together..."

Keith wanted to say a few more words, but Eric lost his temper and hung up the phone without saying anything.

It was blunt.

Eric's eyes had a hidden rage.

Toto apprehensively carried the husky over.

He heard that conversation clearly.

"Mr. Ferguson..."

Eric's face was glum. "I don't care what method you use. Get Nicole to come over."

Toto knew how much of a failure he was as a matchmaker. Unfortunately for him, Eric and Nicole were not ordinary people.

"I-I don't..."

Before Toto could finish his sentence, Eric's cold eyes swept over.

"Do you think you've lived long enough?"

Toto suddenly changed his words. "I don't have a problem with that."

Eric went upstairs to the study.

Toto sat defeated on the floor.

'Mr. Ferguson is so scary! I guess he's usually considered easy-going!'

Toto hurriedly took out his phone and called Nicole, sobbing.

"Ms. Stanton, Mr. Ferguson just fell down the stairs..."
