The Divorced Billionaire Heiress
Chapter 2343

The handsome young doctor next to Chatty could not help but laugh.

Nicole picked Chatty up and said with a smile, "Well, let's not take this as an example. Next time, if you pretend to be sick and don't go to school, I'll make you take extra lessons with Levi." Chatty nestled in her arms and nodded obediently.

Clayton sighed helplessly and looked at the doctor apologetically.

"Sorry, I didn't know..."

The doctor fully understood and did not mind at all.

"It's okay. A false alarm is the best result."

They exchanged pleasantries and left.

Chatty hugged Nicole, but her eyes were glued to the handsome young doctor until they went to the corridor and reached the entrance.

Clayton was behind and said lightly, "Put her down and let her walk by herself."

Nicole agreed and put her on the ground.

Chatty held Clayton's hand and raised her head with a smile on her fair and tender face.

"Daddy, I really like..."

Like that handsome doctor?

"No way."

Clayton interrupted her in a cold voice. He felt that he was being too tough on her, so he softened his tone.

"Daddy doesn't agree. That man is too old..."

Although he was young and handsome, he was an old fart compared with Chatty!

Thus, Clayton must nip this in the bud.

In just a few seconds, Clayton thought about all kinds of different scenarios.

His heart ached.

Chatty blinked in confusion. She shook Clayton's arm pitifully and acted coquettishly.

"I really like that lollipop. Will you buy it for me...?"

Her little finger pointed to the store at the entrance.

Clayton was speechless.

Nicole could not help but laugh.

At last, they got in the car.

Chatty was holding a lollipop that was bigger than her face.

Clayton seemed to be in a good mood. After all, Chatty's sickness was a false alarm.

He looked at Nicole, who was calm and composed, and could not help but ask, "You already know?"

Chatty was just pretending.

Nicole shrugged and smiled helplessly.

"Of course. You wouldn't believe me if I told you anyway."

Clayton was confused. He really did not know how sincere Chatty sounded when she called him and told him that she was in pain.

He just wished that he could suffer for her instead.

As a result, Chatty lied to him.

This kid was too good at acting.

Clayton sighed helplessly and patted Nicole's head.

"You're the best for not scaring me."

Nicole smiled and cuddled with him. Clayton hugged her shoulders and leaned toward her.

Chatty saw a distance between her parents and her. She blinked her big and watery eyes and was no longer in the mood to eat the lollipop in her hand. She wanted to climb out of her child's seat and sit with them.

As a result, no one paid any attention to her.

They did not go home.

Clayton asked the driver to send them to the Stanton Mansion.

He smiled and said, "Chatty, you don't have to go to school today. You can take the day off. When Levi comes back, you can take extra lessons together."

Chatty was very excited in the beginning, but she was speechless later.

Nicole raised her eyebrows and said in a low voice, "I thought you would feel sorry for her and not let her go to school!" Clayton paused, smiled, and shook his head.

wanted her to go to school two years later, but since she has already enrolle in school, she can't give up halfway. Nicole raised her eyebrows. She did not expect Clayton to be so rational at this critical moment.

future."

He did not spoil their daughter rotten.

When they arrived at the Stanton Mansion, Chatty got out of the car and ran to Floyd's side to fish.

Clayton greeted Floyd and said a few words to him.

Nicole was answering the phone at the side. Her face was glum with a bit of disdain.

Finally, she went to Clayton's side.

"Euan Churchill wants to treat us to dinner tonight. Shall we go?"

Clayton paused and thought about it for a while. Nicole reminded him, "It's the guy who invited us to that hike five years ago. Did you forget that he liked you?"

Clayton's expression became complicated and glum as if he had stepped on sh*t.

He had a disgusted expression.

"I continued to work on that project, and it's doing pretty well now. Euan is the person in charge there. He must've found out that you were back, so he wanted to invite us to dinner. If you don't want to go, we don't have to."

Nicole thought about it for a while. Seeing Euan would not make her feel better, so it was not necessary.

Clayton pursed his lips. "Sure, let's go."

Nicole was a little surprised.

"You want to go?"

"Sure. Isn't he your business partner? Since you still have business interaction with him, we shouldn't make things awkward. Besides, it was an accident last time, so we can't blame him. We need to be more amicable."

Clayton spoke slowly with a deep and slow voice as he explained it to Nicole patiently.

Nicole took a deep breath.

She preferred to do things according to her mood or her impression of the other party.

However, Clayton was more rational and analyzed the pros and cons for her. She learned a lot from him.

Floyd, who was next to them, also nodded.

"You should go. Chatty can stay. Bring Fischer and the others here after school, and I'll take care of them."

Nicole smiled and walked to the side.

"Dad, why don't you pick them up from school later?"

Floyd shot her a look.

"Are you my daughter? I'm retired, yet you still want to boss me around? Can't I just wait for them at home? Why do I have to go out and smell the gasoline on the road?" Clayton could not help but laugh.

"Dad, don't listen to Nicole. She just doesn't want to be scolded by the teachers because Chatty is always getting into trouble at school."

When Floyd heard this, he gloated and laughed.

"I can't believe you have this coming!"

Nicole was speechless.

They sat and chatted for a while.

It was almost time for dinner, so Nicole and Clayton stood up and left.

Chatty, who was so into fishing, refused to go ashore and stayed in the water.

The butler watched Chatty from the side and ensured that nothing would go wrong. Thus, the couple left together.

Euan arrived before them.

Nicole and Clayton went over unhurriedly as Euan stared at

Clayton in a daze.

Clayton looked away, not wanting to take another look at Euan.

Euan realized his gaffe and hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

"Mr. Sloan, it's great to have you back! I saw your interview and was so excited that I couldn't fall asleep all night."

Clayton sat there silently.

Nicole raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "My husband is back. Why are you excited?"

Euan was at a loss for words and explained, "I've always felt remorseful about what happened. At least you're back, and everyone is happy."

I Although Clayton was walking with a cane without his past vigor, he looked even more distinguished and calmer than before.

Euan did not dare to look at Clayton too much, lest he developed thoughts that he should not have.
