Chapter 2592 The Eve of the Wedding
The Divorced Billionaire Heiress
Clayton saw Eric walking over.
He smiled brightly and sincerely, and his eyes were warm.
âCongratulations, Mr. Ferguson!â
Clayton squeezed Chatty, who was in his arms, and said, âBaby, you should congratulate Uncle Eric for
getting married!â
Chatty smiled at Eric.
âCongratulations, Uncle Eric for your happy marriage!â
Eric coughed in embarrassment and felt very uncomfortable.
âThanks.â
Grant nodded. âCongratulations, Mr. Ferguson and Ms. Nelson.â
Selena nodded.
Nicole walked over with a smile. âGrant, you should address her as Mrs. Ferguson, not Ms. Nelson.â
Grant smiled. âSorry, Mrs. Ferguson, it was a slip of the tongue.â
âThe wedding isnât over yet, so calling me Ms. Nelson is a sign of respect. I understand.â
Selena said with a smile.
Nicole smiled. âCongratulations, Selena! Julie wanted to come, but she couldnât take a flight because
she had serious morning sickness due to her pregnancy. My third brother is with her now. I brought
over their gifts though!â
Selena smiled in surprise. âReally? I havenât congratulated her personally yet!â
âItâs only been three months, and they havenât had time to make it public yet. Letâs wait for an
opportunity to get together again.â
Nicole smiled brightly and looked at Eric. She could not help but size him up.
âMr. Ferguson, you finally seem a little more human today. Youâre a changed man now that youâre
married. I was worried about Selena because of that commotion online a few days ago. But you guys
turned it around so well. Everyone is looking forward to this wedding!â
Clayton could not help but laugh. His smile widened, and he could not hide his joy.
âThatâs right. When I found out that you made it public, I was so excited that it kept me up all night. Iâm
so happy for you. I even postponed a lot of business engagements to attend your wedding and chose
gifts myself, Mr. Ferguson. I hope youâll open them yourself!â
Clayton looked at Selena and said politely, âMrs. Ferguson, Mr. Ferguson is a bit impatient, so you
must be more forgiving. Donât stoop to his level. Marriage is about growing old together. If you have any
difficulties, you can come to us since weâre friendsâ¦â
Ericâs face became darker and colder as he tried to restrain his emotions.
Nicole quickly tugged Claytonâs arm.
âClayton!â
Clayton suddenly stopped and said with a smile, âIâve said too much. Itâs a good day today. I am just as
happy as you!â
He even showed his pearly whites when he smiled.
Clayton was happier than Eric, the groom.
Selena understood something and could not help but laugh. She then looked at Eric teasingly.
Eric did not want to make the situation worse. He just glanced at Clayton coldly, lowered his head, and
embraced Selenaâs shoulders.
âThanks, everyone for all your blessings. Donât worry. Weâll grow old together. Make yourselves
comfortable. We have something else to attend to.â
After that, Eric took Selena in his arms and wanted to leave.
Selena turned her head and waved goodbye to Nicole.
Nicole also smiled and waved. Then, she looked at Clayton reproachfully.
âHow can you say this in front of Selena?â
Clayton touched his nose and felt a little guilty.
âI was too excited. I was worried and afraid that this was a fake marriage.â
Grant stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
âI understand. No wonder Mr. Ferguson didnât send an invitation to you, but to the Stanton family
instead. Bro, you mustâve been holding back these words for several years, huh?â
Claytonâs smile became brighter. âOnly you understand me, Big Brother!â
Grant was speechless.
Nicole rolled her eyes and stretched out her hand to put Chatty down on the floor.
âChatty, do you want to go and play?â
Chatty swung her short legs.
âNo. My new leather shoes will get wet. I want Daddy to carry me.â
Clayton could not help but laugh.
âOkay, Daddy will carry you.â
Nicole coughed.
Clayton withdrew his hand, straightened his face, and said, âDaddyâs leg is starting to hurt again. Baby,
you love Daddy, right? Can you walk by yourself?â
Chatty looked up at her father in distress.
Claytonâs legs recovered fairly quickly. He could already walk freely without crutches.
Chatty liked to lie on Claytonâs shoulder and asked Clayton to carry her wherever they went.
Thus, every time Clayton whined about the pain, Chatty would believe him.
She gently touched Claytonâs leg and nodded.
âOkay. Iâm a brave baby, so I can walk by myself.â
Chatty went over to hold Clayton and Nicoleâs hands and happily swung between them.
âWhy isnât Fischer back yet?â
Nicole explained with a smile.
âFischerâs parents took him home. novelebook.comHeâll come back when heâs on vacation.â
âBut I miss him so much.â
Chattyâs voice was low.
Seeing his daughterâs disappointed face, Clayton could not help but lower his head and whispered
something in her ear.
Chatty immediately raised her head happily, and her eyes glimmered.
âReally?!â
âYes.â
Clayton smiled.
Chatty let go of Chattyâs hand and turned around to touch Nicoleâs belly.
âHi, little brother!â
Nicole was taken aback for a moment. She looked up at Clayton in shock.
âHow do you know?â
She felt that something was wrong recently and just noticed that she might be pregnant. She had not
gone for a proper check-up yet.
Clayton smiled. âOf course, I know. You had the same reaction when you were carrying Chatty back
then.â
He did not ask Nicole immediately because the news of Ericâs marriage was too sudden.
The double surprise overwhelmed Clayton.
Nicole did not mean to hide it from him. She smiled softly and said, âItâs not confirmed yet, so donât tell
anyone.â
âI know.â
Clayton walked over to hold her hand. His eyes were brimming with joy and tenderness.
Chattyâs parents stopped holding her hands, so she could only go and hold Grantâs hand.
Grant smiled and picked her up. âLevi is coming over tomorrow, so you can play with him tomorrow. Are
you happy?â
âYes!â
Chatty was not picky with who was carrying her because she was comfortable with Grant.
Although Clayton said that he came to attend the wedding, he was actually here on vacation.
Even if he was casually chatting with others about business, he insisted on taking Nicole with him and
did not let her leave his sight.
Nicole knew that he was worried about her, but she also felt that he was too cautious.
It was getting late.
There were many people on the beach.
The air was sweet.
Expensive desserts and drinks were supplied continuously, and the flowers were freshly imported.
Eric took Selenaâs hand to greet the guests.
Although Selena was bored, she had no choice but to listen to other peopleâs compliments.
âMrs. Ferguson, youâre so beautiful! Youâre prettier than a movie star!â
âMrs. Ferguson, youâre so blessed. Your wedding dress is custom-made from France, right? Is your
giant ring also custom-made? Iâm so envious!â
âCongratulations, Mrs. Fergusonâ¦â
