Chapter 1009

Read Chapter 1009 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Although Lil Michael was reluctant to part with the Pretty Lady, he would see her again later. He

deliberated for half a second before letting go of Nicole’s hand and rushing in.

The corners of Clayton ‘s mouth twitched. ‘Huh,

childish! ‘

Nicole let Lil Michael leave because she knew that if Keith was here, that man was most likely here as

well.

Sure enough, when she turned around, she saw Eric standing coldly and indifferently beside Keith.

Nicole had not seen Eric for some time, but he still looked the same.

However, it felt like the aura around him had become even more austere and compelling.

Clayton stood to the side and quietly held Nicole’s hand.

The warmth from his fingertips flowed into her heart, and the coldness she felt disappeared in an instant.

Nicole snapped back to her senses and looked at Clayton with a smile.

Then, she looked at Keith familiarly.

“Mr. Ludwig, I thought you were really going to become an actor. It’s an honor for us that you took time

out of your schedule to be here!“

In order to get back his ex-wife Livia, Keith almost became a guest on the variety show Livia was starring

in, working silently.

The circle had laughed at him for a while. Keith felt gloomy as his face stiffened. “Ms. Stanton ‘s habit of

poking people in the heart still hasn’t changed, huh?“ He put on a fake smile.

Nicole raised her brows. “I enjoy doing it, so I don’t plan on changing.“ Keith became even angrier. If not

for the fact that Keith was worried if Eric came here alone, he would not have come here to make a fool

of himself. However, he could not do anything about it. After all, Nicole still had the video of him running

around naked.

It was a stain for the rest of his life. Eric’s dark eyes were cold as he looked at Clayton and then at

Nicole. His gaze rested on their interlocked hands for a few seconds before moving away indifferently.

However, his heart felt like it was being strangled, giving off a suffocating pain.

Eric curled his lips and raised his eyes to look at Clayton, then spoke with a cold voice devoid of warmth.

“Mr. Sloan, the project with J&L Corporation is nearing its end. I’ll have to trouble you to go abroad to

apply for the patents and exhibition registrations.“

The project was about to be completed, but the next step was trickier. Clayton met Eric’s gaze calmly. “Of

course.“ He was used to it. Eric’s gaze swept over to Nicole. His eyes sank for a moment before

becoming gentle.

“You’re beautiful…“ “Thank you. Welcome to my brother and sister-in – law’s engagement party. Please

come inside…“ Nicole was polite and detached. Eric gave her a deep look and lifted his legs to walk in.

Keith followed in surprise.

“I thought you’d have gotten physical, Ferg. I thought you wouldn’t be able to hold back…“

Eric glanced at him coldly with a hint of warning, trying to shake him off quickly.

Was he that insane?

The last time he hit Clayton, Nicole called and scolded him.

Eric was only enlightened after Mitchell and Toto’s explanation.

Only a boorish person would use violence.

‘I’m a civilized man, and I ‘ll beat Clayton at his own game!’ Eric thought.

When the other guests came at the door, Nicole hurriedly let go of Clayton’s hand and went over to

exchange a few pleasantries before turning around and going back.

Clayton was still standing in the same place waiting for her. He stood under the air vent, which was a

little cold.

However, it was like he did not feel anything. He stood there like a statue, looking at her with warm and

deep eyes.

Nicole felt guilty about her earlier actions and wondered if she accidentally hurt his feelings.

She walked over slowly. “Why didn’t you go in?” Clayton smiled and looked at her playfully.

“I’m afraid you’ll choose to be someone else’s date to avoid arousing suspicion, so of course, I have to

watch you well!”
