Chapter 2326
Chapter 2326 Revived
Grant took care of Aida in the hospital.
Although this was Aida’s second pregnancy, the Stanton family did not relax one bit.
Floyd sent a few servants to take care of her, but none of them were actually useful.
That was because Grant did everything for Aida.
In the past few days, Grant went to the hospital every day. When Aida was discharged from the hospital, Grant took her back to their home.
Floyd wanted to see his youngest grandson, but Grant immediately refused, saying that their own home was quieter.
Floyd could not say anything about that, but he was waiting anxiously at home every day.
Thus, as soon as Nicole said that she was going back for dinner and that she had a surprise for him, he was elated.
Floyd immediately called Kai and Julie over.
Although Nicole told Clayton that he did not need to prepare anything, Clayton always valued proper etiquette.
He asked Roland to open his safe at the bank and selected a few antique paintings for Floyd before he asked someone to prepare other gifts.
This seemed even more serious than the first time Clayton visited Floyd at the Stanton Mansion.
Nicole frowned and watched as Clayton instructed Roland. When he hung up the phone, Nicole shook her head in confusion.
‘There’s no need for that. My dad will be delighted to see you. He doesn’t even know the value of those paintings. He’ll just hang them up to show off for a few days and store them in the warehouse. Those lovely paintings will be covered in dust.”
Clayton hung up the phone, looked at her sideways, and explained with a smile, “It doesn’t matter. We’re family, so it’s all the same who is storing it. I don’t feel at ease putting it in the bank. At least it’ll be well-kept with Dad. It’ll be fine. Besides, I’ve made you all worry for so long. You can easily forgive me, but Dad may be mad because he feels sorry for you. Now that I think about it, if my daughter met such a man, I’d definitely beat him up.”
Nicole did not know what to say for a moment, so she pursed her lips and turned her gaze back.
She was too happy that she overlooked these small details.
She knew that Floyd would not stay mad at Clayton because she was still together with him.
Everyone in the Stanton family was always on the same front.
After half a day of running around, Roland put the things he prepared into Clayton’s car.
He looked at Nicole with a smile and asked, “Madam, are you guys going back to the Stanton Mansion?”
Nicole raised her eyebrows. “Yes.”
Roland’s smile gradually deepened. “It’s about time for Mr. Sloan to go back since he has returned to Mediania for a while now. It’s rare to see you two together. I guess the good days are coming back again!”
Clayton’s smile froze for a moment. He snorted coldly and looked at Roland with a smile.
“What are you saying? Are you not having a good life now?”
Roland quickly suppressed his smile.
“Mr. Sloan, that’s not what I meant. Everyone in the company hopes that you’ll go back and have a look. They were delighted to know that you returned!”
After all, when they heard the news of Clayton’s death, they thought that the company would shut down, and they would be out of a job.
Fortunately, Clayton came back to life, and they survived this critical time.
Even Roland, Clayton’s assistant, felt reassured.
Thus, he did not think much about it and said what he felt.
It was a good thing that Clayton was back, but Roland was worried that their relationship would not be as close as before.
Nicole told Roland that Clayton was not dead, and during that time, the two of them were like strangers ignoring each other.
Now, Nicole and Clayton finally reconciled.
When Nicole looked at Clayton, there was a glimmer in her eyes that made her look bright and beautiful, unlike her dark and listless eyes in the past.
When Clayton and Nicole looked at each other, Roland knew that they had reconciled and were as good as they were before.
Roland thought it would take a while. He did not expect their progress to be so quick.
Clayton really had his way!
The afternoon passed quickly.
Finally, they went back to Chatty’s school and waited for the children to come out.
There were quite a few luxury cars parked on the side of the road, but most of the students were picked up by their drivers and servants.
Clayton insisted on going in to pick Chatty up by himself.
Nicole knew that Clayton was excited, so she did not stop him and went with him.
Chatty did not expect her parents to come to pick her up together.
She was pulling the ear of another male student, whose face was scrunched up but he still did not dare to resist.
Clayton frowned slightly, clicked his tongue, and seemed a little proud.
“Look how popular Chatty is!”
Nicole glanced over lightly and said, “Chatty beat him up before. I’m guessing that she became arrogant after that fight. You should have a talk with her later. She shouldn’t bully her classmates like this.”
Clayton’s face froze slightly as if he did not believe Nicole.
“Beat someone up? How could my daughter hit someone? Someone must’ve bullied her, so she fought back! That must be it!”
Right.
It must be so.
Before Nicole had time to explain, Chatty walked out happily and hugged Clayton as she spun around him.
“Daddy and Mommy, you came to pick me up!”
Clayton smiled gently.
“Are you happy?”
“Yes!”
Nicole also smiled.
“Where’s Fischer?”
Chatty thought about it fora moment before she said, “He went to get some water for me because I was thirsty!”
Nicole was speechless.
Clayton nodded in satisfaction.
Fischer came over with a water bottle and was pleasantly surprised to see Clayton and Nicole.
Nicole hurried over to get the water.
“In the future, let Chatty do this kind of thing by herself. Otherwise, she’ll develop bad habits!”
Fischer quickly said, “It’s not bad! I like to help Chatty get water!”
Clayton immediately thought that Fischer was more pleasant to the eye.
The two children immediately held hands and walked out happily together.
The teacher felt envious when she saw this and said to them, “Chatty is very well-behaved. She listens to Fischer a lot. Fischermight look like he spoils Chatty, but Chatty really listens when he has something to say.”
Nicole frowned, then smiled and said, “I really can’t tell. Chatty has always been a big bully at home.”
“She has a good personality, and everyone likes her.”
When the teacher said this, Clayton looked proud.
‘Thanks. Let’s go then.”
He held Nicole’s hand, and Nicole took his arm as they left the building.
They went to the next building to pick Levi up.
Just then, Nicole saw Chance and Levi reading a book together.
The two boys had calm and quiet personalities, so it was not too surprising that they could become good friends.
Nicole knocked on the door. Levi’s eyes lit up when he saw her. Then, he said a few words to Chance.
Chance also saw her and happily went over.
“Hello, Auntie!”
Nicole nodded, smiled, and said, “Chance, you’re not going home yet?”
‘The driver is sending my dad to an event, so he asked me to wait here a little longer…”
Chance raised his crystal-clear eyes and looked at her.
He seemed to have some anticipation in his eyes.
