Chapter 438 Precious Hand
Nicole looked at yton’s hand with understanding and put on her seatbelt. She smiled and asked,
"Mr. Sloan, is it okay for you to take so much time off?"
yton said indifferently, "Yeah. My project partner isn’t even around, so should I stay to talk to Gerard
and Tucker? I''ve announced a short break for that project and for them to get the core research done
first. When we get back, it''ll be just in time to see what theye up with."
Nicole heard this and blushed with a little guilt. She felt like she was not doing her job well.
yton paused for a moment. "Of course, Lil Michael really wants toe. He hasn''t forgiven me for
reprimanding himst night, so I ought to tag along.”
Speaking of Lil Michael, Nicole chuckled. "So that’s what it is, huh? Mr. Sloan, you''re a really good
father t o Lil Michael. He must love you very much."
What a loving father and son rtionship!
yton smiled and did not respond.
He thought to himself, ''Love me?! My son just wants to inherit my estate as soon as possible!''
yton had already instructed Lil Michael''s tutors to double his homework.
He would not let that little rascal enjoy this holiday.
Eric watched Nicole and yton conversing happily from behind. His eyes narrowed in displeasure.
The difort in his heart was getting stronger, as if what he had been neglecting before was starting
to show.
Toto, who was next to Eric, also felt a sense of crisis. H e thought that he could not just sit back and

watch them progress further.
He never liked yton because even though yton did not do anything too obvious, the way he
treated Nicole was clearly different.
From Toto''s rich experience, he was 80% sure that yton was interested in Nicole!
After some thought, Toto coughed slightly. "Ms. Stanton, why don''t we switch seats? I have a great
view here..."
Nicole frowned and did not respond. Lil Michael, who was in front of them, said frankly, "Pretty Lady''s
trying to sleep. Don''t disturb her!"
Toto snapped his mouth shut.
Nicole raised her eyebrows and thought, ''That saves m e a lot of trouble. Lil Michael is such a smart
boy!’
Lil Michael grunted smugly. If Floyd did not drag Lil Michael to sit by him, Lil Michael would definitely
want to be with his prettydy.
He was ufortable with his prettydy sitting next to the mean mister, so he got his father to sub in
for him for a while.
Nicole did not ask where they were going. Soon, she felt drowsy and fell asleep.
Unknowingly, her head rested on the shoulder of the man next to her.
After a few hours, Nicole was shaken awake. Lil Michael''s cute face was magnified in front of her eyes.
Lil Michael could not hold back his excitement." Pretty Lady, look! It’s a castle!"
The sky was turning dark.
The helicopter hovered in the air. Nicole subconsciously looked outside the window and saw lush hills
and a brightly lit manor. It looked huge, majestic, and mysterious.
It looked like a private chateau.
The helicopternded on the designated helipad in the manor’s grounds.
After a few hours on board, Lil Michael could not hide his excitement and ran down. Floyd followed suit.
yton frowned slightly and swept a nce to the back. He then reached out his hand towards Nicole
like a perfect gentleman.
Before Nicole could take his hand, Toto quickly blocked yton. “Let me! I’ll hold Ms. Stanton''s
precious hand..."
Toto stood between yton and Nicole. He would not give yton the opportunity to help thedy
down the stairs.
Nicole rolled her eyes and walked down by herself. The air was fresh. The sky was dark and dotted
with twinkling stars. Not far away, a few butlers and maids came over to them.
Toto froze for a moment because Eric was still on the helicopter.
He looked at Eric with an awkward smile and turned t o Nicole.
"Ms. Stanton, why don''t you help me to support Mr. Ferguson?"
