The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 532 A World of Two

Nicole faintly froze as Clayton's eyes flickered." Michael has been harping on about you for a long time. Why don't you come and cook for him as a show of gratitude?" Nicole breathed a sigh of relief. "Sure!"

Lil Michael could not sit still once he heard the good news.

The nanny said, "Wouldn't it be better to wait at the hotel?"

The bodyguard said, "We can't let them be together alone. Something will definitely happen if two adults stay together!"

Lil Michael nodded in agreement, so he insisted on going with them to shop for ingredients at the supermarket.

As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Nicole and Clayton standing together and laughing. Clayton casually bought an ice cream cone and handed it to Nicole, who took it with a smile. She took a bite and nodded approvingly.

The nanny said, "A talented man and a beautiful woman. What a perfect match!"

The bodyguard looked at her with disdain. "Whose side are you on? Young Master is a better match for

her!"

Lil Michael said, "That's right!"

He excitedly ran to the other side, lifted his head, and buried himself in the Pretty Lady's arms. 'Wow, she smells so good!'

"Pretty Lady, did you miss me?"

Nicole looked at the head of fluffy curls in her arms and could not help but laugh. She tousled his hair and felt her heart melting into a puddle of goo.

"Of course I did. I missed you so, so much."

Lil Michael raised his head in satisfaction after getting the answer he wanted and inadvertently glanced at his father. His provoking look seemed to say, 'Look, you can't do this!' Clayton pursed his lips and reached out to yank him off of Nicole's body.

"Pretty Lady wants to eat ice cream. Don't bother her."

Clayton advised him in a gentle tone, but Michael refused!

'Daddy's just jealous that I can hug Pretty Lady! He's so jealous!'

"Pretty Lady likes it when I hug her. Hmph!"

Nicole laughed. The bickering between the father and son pair was quite amusing.

"It's fine. Let's go in. What do you want to eat,

Michael?"

Lil Michael thought about it very seriously. Something too simple would not work, but he was afraid that she would not know how to cook complicated dishes. How conflicting!

Nicole naturally did not notice Michael's struggle as she looked at the goods around her. It had been a long time since she cooked, so she was a little rusty.

If it was too simple, it would not be able to convey her sincerity, but if it was too hard, she might not know how to cook it. How conflicting!

The three people's appearance in the mall immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding people, and many eyes followed them closely.

"Wow, he's so handsome. They're the most striking little family of three that I've ever seen!"

"That little boy looks mixed, right? He's so adorable!"

"He's so handsome. That woman looks really familiar too. She's beautiful..."

Clayton's expression softened for a moment when the chattering voices reached his ears. He stared at the tall and slender back in front of him with deep and dark eyes that were filled with patience. Lil Michael snorted angrily. 'What family of three?

Pretty Lady and I are a couple! How could Daddy, that

old man, deserve such a beautiful lady?'

Nicole stopped for a moment in the produce and meat section, thinking very hard. Fortunately, Clayton saw her hesitation and quickly helped her out.

"Let's eat something simple. How about steak?"

'Steak sounds great!' Nicole breathed a sigh of relief and looked down to gauge Michael's opinion.

Lil Michael grinned up at her. "Sure! I love steak!"

The three of them shopped for ingredients for a while before going back to the hotel suite where Clayton and Lil Michael were staying.

Lil Michael focused on eating his ice cream in the living room. Clayton, who had gone to the study to deal with an urgent work situation, finally came out and went to the kitchen. The kitchen in the suite had a semi-open design.

Nicole was very familiar with grilling steak and did not notice Clayton's arrival.

Clayton rolled up his sleeves. "I'll prepare some sides."

Then, he started to work skillfully.

Nicole subconsciously looked at him. His usual cold and modest look was gone. Now, Clayton looked more down-to-earth and refined.

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

She was dazed for a second when the hot oil suddenly splattered on her wrist. She subconsciously exclaimed in alarm and stepped back, falling right into a warm and firm embrace.
