Chapter 2320 Miss You Very Much
Clayton put Chatty on the ground and said, "You'll feel sleepy once you close your eyes. Go and listen to Fischer's bedtime story.I'll send you guys to school tomorrow."
Chatty's eyes lit up in excitement as soon as she heard that her father would send them to school.Clayton had never sent them to school before.
Thus, Chatty was elated.
Chatty and Fischer kissed Nicole one after the other before they returned to the bedroom.
Nicole looked at the surreal scene in front of her cautiously as if she was afraid that this was just a fleeting illusion.
The pasta in front of Nicole was getting cold.
Clayton pushed the pasta forward, looked at Nicole, and said in an extremely gentle voice, "Do you want to have a few bites?"
Nicole's eyes were sore, but she did not want Clayton to see her fragility and longing.
What happened in the afternoon under the influence of alcohol was so sudden that Nicole felt like forgetting about everything and moving on.
However, thinking about it now, Nicole felt like they were a little too impulsive.
Nicole's mind was a mess. She lowered her head and ate two bites of pasta. She also had a few spoons of soup before she put down her cutlery.
Clayton ate slowly and gracefully without making a sound. He looked gentle and elegant. Surrounded by the warm lights, it seemed as if he had returned to his previous self at that moment.
He felt Nicole's gaze on him for a long time.
Clayton calmly put down his chopsticks, planning to pack them up.
Nicole's eyes flickered slightly. She stood up first and put away the dishes.
Clayton looked at her with dark eyes as he was deep in thought, but he quickly regained his expression.
When Nicole sat back down again, Clayton looked gentle again.He flashed a soft, slightly apologetic smile.
Under the lights, Nicole's face looked a little pale and gloomy.She looked dispirited.
Clayton paused and looked at her with deep eyes.
"Do you remember what happened in the afternoon?"
It was only 9:00 pm. How could she forget so quickly?
After fooling around with him all afternoon, Nicole's body still felt a little uncomfortable.
Nicole's face suddenly flushed. She pursed her red lips.
‘Were you drunk?"
Clayton’s voice was a little hoarse. The corners of his mouth twitched as he said, "I drank, but not much."
Therefore, what he did was not impulsive or a drunken act.
Clayton just followed his heart and released the pent-up energy he had suppressed all along.
Nicole pursed her lips and could not help but frown at Clayton.
"So? Why did you come back all of a sudden? Don't you have another home now? Do you think my house is a hotel?"
Nicole might not have realized how jealous she sounded.She also did not realize that her words were a little harsh.
However, she could not help it.
The first time she saw Clayton sitting in the car with Kira while she was thrown to the ground by their car, Nicole was devastated.
When she saw the two of them walking side by side in the hospital, how could she not wonder if their relationship was intimate?
Clayton was startled as he looked at Nicole. When he heard the word " divorce”, his face turned glum.
However, Clayton knew that Nicole was very good at controlling her emotions except for when she was around the people she was Close to.
Clayton only felt awkward and depressed for a moment before he recovered his expression.
That was because he realized that Nicole was concerned about Kira.
Since Clayton returned to Mediania, he did not have any contact with women except for the waiters in the restaurant. Those waiters were his employees, so he kept a distance from them.
Only Kira overstepped her bounds. Clayton frowned slightly as he thought,’ Car... Hospital...’
Clayton suddenly thought about going to the hospital with Kira that day. Perhaps Nicole had seen them together and misunderstood the situation.
He looked embarrassed. He had always kept a distance from women, so he did not have much experience in responding to such things.
At this time, Clayton had to clear his name.
Clayton was silent for two seconds before he raised his eyes to look at Nicole sincerely.
"I helped that woman when I was abroad for my treatment. One of her legs was broken. I saved her and gave her a prosthesis, but we don't have a relationship with each other. I didn’t cross the line. She only came back because she couldn't survive abroad. She was in the hospital that day because her prosthesis suddenly fell off. I'm familiar with this area, so I took her to the hospital. As for what you mentioned about the car... I don’t know what you're talking about, and I don’t remember anything like that ever happening. But I can guarantee that the only relationship I have with her is an ordinary employer-and-employee relationship. I already dismissed her since Chatty got into the accident last time. I won't keep someone who has hurt our daughter around."
It did not matter who that person was.
Those words were sincere, and Clayton looked at Nicole without dodging her gaze. Finally, Nicole's expression gradually changed from anger to relief.
Nicole roughly pieced it together. If Kira had broken a leg, then Clayton, who was abroad at that time, was only helping Kira out of sympathy because he could relate to her condition.
Otherwise, Clayton would not be such a warm-hearted person.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorced Billionaire Heiress
I liked this book and wanted to read it. As I have moved into the chapters, I have found that it is unreadable due to typographical errors, including sentences that are incomplete, complete gibberish, missing elements. This is not just some misspelled words. It is actually unreadable. If you decide to fix this, let me know and I will read it....
