Floyd deliberately looked at Clayton with confused eyes. It was as if he did not know that Clayton was
here.
Clayton and Nicole were speechless.
He was standing here alive and well. Was Floyd deliberately pretending not to see him?
Clayton immediately understood that this was a show of strength from his girlfriendâs family.
He saved Nicoleâs life, but if it was just simple gratitude, Floyd would not ignore him like that.
However, Clayton was going to take his daughter away, so his attitude was naturally different.
Clayton smiled, gentle and modest without the slightest trace of dissatisfaction.
âI couldnât bear to disturb you, so I didnât speak up. I hope you wonât blame me for being rude.â
Grant raised his brows. Not many people could stand someone unreasonable like Floyd.
Floyd paused and nodded with a smile.
Nicole quickly said, âDad, itâs thanks to Claytonâs timely arrival that the four of us got out safely.â Floyd
raised his brows and sized Clayton up.
âMr. Sloan, you saved Nicole once again. I really donât know how to thank you.â Clayton said, âItâs my
fortune to be able to save her. Nicole being alive and happy is enough for me.â
He smiled dotingly at Nicole.
Grant narrowed his eyes. It was clear at a glance that their relationship was not simple. Floyd gave him
an indecipherable smile and turned to look at Nicole in anger. âYou still want to play around at your age?
You were lucky to have met Mr. Sloan this time.
What if you hadnât?â Nicole felt a burst of fear. The feeling of palpitations flashed in her heart, and her
face became slightly pale. Floyd immediately regretted his words after saying them. He could not bear to
reprimand her. What if it scared her?
Then, Floyd snorted heavily and gave her a way out.
âYou can watch meteor showers anywhere. When you go back, Iâll get Grant to move all the astronomical
telescope equipment to the house. You can invite your friends to watch from home, and you can eat
snacks and listen to music at the same time! How nice does that sound?â Grant was speechless.
Claytonâs eyebrows twitched. He finally witnessed how the Stanton family spoiled Nicole. Buying a set of
advanced astronomical telescope equipment would cost close to nine figures. Even some planetariums
could not meet this standard. Nicoleâs face instantly became sunny as she smiled at Grant. âThank you,
Big Brother!â Grant rubbed his temples and nodded.
âIâll put them in your studyâ¦â
They even decided on a place for her.
Grant was called away by a phone call, and Floyd intended to stay and take care of her personally, but
she decisively rejected him.
Nicole used a lot of effort to coax her father to leave before she and Clayton finally sighed in relief.
Nicole smiled apologetically. âSince my father retired, the focus of his life became us and fishing. He
didnât use to be like this.â
Clayton nodded to express his understanding. âItâs rare to see rich families like yours, where thereâs no
strife and selfishness. Uncle Floyd raised you all very well.â
The smile on Nicoleâs face deepened a little.
âIt wasnât easy for my dad to build the company, but he didnât neglect our growth either. Whatâs there to
fight over? Weâre all a family anyway.â
Claytonâs brows moved, and there was warmth in his eyes.
He had seen the dark and dirty infighting of the gentry. As long as money was involved, there would be
selfishness, and as long as there was selfishness, there would be conflict.
However, the Stanton family was an exception.
He smiled. âUncle Floyd seems to be wary of me. He most likely guessed our relationship.â
Nicole paused. âHe wonât do anything unless I make it clear.â
That was Floydâs character. No matter how much he liked or hated it, he would wait until the day Nicole
personally spoke up.
Claytonâs eyes were deep as he looked at her. âThen⦠When will you make it clear?â
