Chapter 425 Can''t Be Too Petty


    Eric''s gaze trembled slightly as he sat there with his chest heaving.


    ''Everything I''ve carefully prepared lost to this kid''s handful of diamonds?! How could yton Sloan


    have such a prodigal son?!''


    Nicole looked shocked and did not know what to say. These diamonds should be kept well in the safe,


    but Lil Michael casually put them in his pocket likemon marbles.


    She chuckled and looked at this ignorant and naive Lil Michael helplessly.


    "You should put these back where you got them. I can’t ept it."


    Lil Michael twisted his tiny body and pouted unhappily. He pulled Nicole''s hand and asked, "Pretty


    Lady, you don''t like it? I have bigger ones!"


    Nicole was once again rendered speechless.


    ''How should I exin this to a kid?''


    Sheughed and kept it in her purse.


    "I like it, but don''t give it away like this next time."


    Nicole would just return it to yton the next time she saw him.


    Seeing that Nicole epted his gift, Lil Michael beamed in joy. ''No wonder the nanny said that this


    won’t go wrong!’


    Lil Michael tilted his head with a smile. "Okay, I’ll listen to you, Pretty Lady. I’ll give you something


    better next time! Men can’t be too stingy, don’t you think so, Mean Mister?"


    Eric''s thin lips were tightly pressed into a straight line. He was exuding extremely cold vibes.


    ''Is this little brat mocking me?! I bought this restaurant for Nicole and wanted to name it after her, but I


    Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    can''t say it now... Now I''m petty?! Ugh!!''


    Lil Michael felt a great sense of achievement when he managed to anger Eric.


    ''Although Mean Mister is injured, it still doesn''t affect my bad impression of him! He’s just a bad guy


    who wants to steal my prettydy!’ 1


    Eric was so annoyed and did not want to say another word. Such a nice atmosphere was ruined by this


    little brat.


    All the conversational topics Toto prepared for him were useless in the face of this giant third wheel.


    When the dishes were served, Nicole was in a good mood and happily helped Michael with his te.


    The two of them got along so well. Nicole was very patient with kids, especially a kid who was so cute


    to naively give her a handful of diamonds.


    Eric’s cold gaze was fixed on the two of them. After a while, he could not stand it and finally spoke.


    "Nicole, I''m a little upset.”


    Eric thought that it was better to say it out loud than t o hold it in.


    What was more, Toto told him that the most important thing between two people was honesty.


    He was indeed very upset.


    If things went as nned, Nicole would turn her attention to him.


    However, after a short silence, Nicole looked at him seriously and smiled.


    "Then just keep it to yourself because we’re both very happy."


    If Eric shared his unhappiness, it would just affect their pleasant mood!


    Eric was speechless and could hear the sound of his fragile heart shattering to pieces.


    Lil Michaelughed gleefully.


    After dinner, Nicole and Eric sent Lil Michael back to the hotel.


    The boy dozed off during the journey and nestled in Nicole’s arms like a cute kitten.


    yton Sloan was waiting for them in front of the hotel.


    Seeing the sleeping boy, heughed helplessly and reached out to carry him.


    "Sorry for the trouble, Ms. Stanton."


    "Not at all. Lil Michael is so adorable and didn’t trouble us!"


    Nicole smiled as she spoke. Eric, who was in the car, rolled his eyes and thought, ''That kid is my


    biggest trouble tonight!’


    There was a glint in yton''s eyes. His smile deepened.


    "Oh? I''m d to hear that."


    "By the way, this is for you..."


    Nicole took out the handful of diamonds Lil Michael gave her earlier. The diamonds glowed in the dim


    light. It was the embodiment of opulence.


    "Lil Michael took these out. He still doesn''t understand the value of these things, so you can take them


    back."


    yton raised an eyebrow. The corners of his lips curled up into a warm smile.


    "That''s alright. Since he gave it to you, it''s yours. If I take it back, he’ll probably disown me..."


    After that, yton nodded slightly at Eric in greeting.


    "I’ll head back upstairs then. Mr. Ferguson, Ms.


    Stanton, thank you so much for sending him back."


    yton ignored Nicole''s surprised gaze and carried


    Lil Michael away.


    Eric did not ept his gratitude and grunted coldly, ignoring them.


    Nicole froze for a moment. She speechlessly kept the handful of diamonds.


    ''So... Lil Michael''s prodigal habit originates from yton?!''
