Chapter 1393

Blood Rushed to His Brain

Clayton thought, ‘Haven’t I already met her friends and best friends as her boyfriend tonight? Why should
we be afraid of them seeing us live together? Unless she doesn’t want anyone to know that our
relationship is already this close. Did that mean she was ready to end this relationship anytime?’ Nicole
realized that she said the wrong thing. She did not know how to explain herself. If the Stanton family
heard of this, Floyd and Grant would not let Clayton off the hook.

However, seeing the light in Clayton’s eyes extinguish little by little, she felt her heart break as if it was
being squeezed. The pain drilled into her bones. Just as Nicole was about to open her mouth to explain,
Clayton stood up calmly with a warm and understanding smile on his face. “Then you should rest well. I’ll
go upstairs first.” His tone remained calm without the slightest fluctuation.

However, Nicole heard a bone -piercing coldness. Clayton opened the bedroom door and went out.
Nicole suddenly panicked. She knew that if he left like this, they would be completely over. Nicole
suddenly ran out, dropping one of her slippers, and hugged his waist from behind. Clayton’ s body
stiffened, but he still restrained his voice.

“Let go.” Nicole gritted her teeth and gripped on. He was angry. It was a very serious kind. Clayton patted
her hand. His voice softened and no coldness could be heard. “Let go. I’m going up.” That tone was as if
nothing was wrong. However, Nicole still did not let go. She hugged him tightly, her voice low and soft.
“What if I don’t?” Nicole knew what she was doing, but she could not help it. She did not want to hurt him
in such a cruel way. All those other worries could just get lost. Clayton paused. His voice lowered.
“You’re really not letting go?” Nicole gripped him even tighter. T

he next second. Her vision flipped as she suddenly found herself in Clayton’ s arms. He clasped her
waist with one hand and the other hand around her legs. His actions were almost rough as he turned
around and walked towards her bedroom. “You were the one who refused to let go. Don’t regret it.” His



voice was already extremely husky. Nicole panicked for a few moments in her heart. It was like he
changed into a different person.

The warm and gentle mask on his face was taken off, and he became somewhat unfamiliar. Nicole had
noticed these looks that he subconsciously revealed. However, she liked the image he maintained in
front of her more. Who would not want to leave a good impression in front of his beloved? Thus, she
never pursued the root of what kind of person he really was.
