Chapter 665 Hit and Scold Me
yton smiled and looked at Nicole hesitantly, wanting to say something.
Nicole saw this and stood up, then casually took a shawl and draped it over her body.
"I''ll walk you out."
The two went to the door and handed him the car keys.
yton was stunned and shook his head with a smile.
"My driver will pick me up soon. I just want to talk to you alone."
Nicole paused for a moment and raised her eyes to look at him. This man was most attractive when he
smiled gently, as if the whole world could shine brightly because of it.
She pursed her lips and said in a calm voice, "What do you wanna say?"
yton smiled with his eyes. "Nicole, can I call you by your first name?"
Nicole frowned and thought, ''I never said that he can’t call me Nicole...''
"It''s up to you."
It was just a name anyway.
Without her jacket and only a shawl, she looked so warm.
This warmth made her look softer, and her eyes were rxed like a girl next door, not the strong and
influential woman she was in the industry.
This contrast made yton feel a little heartbroken.
He bowed his head and chuckled, "Always calling you Ms. Stanton makes me feel like I''m making no
progress and that we’re not close."
Unconsciously, he told her what was in his heart.
Nicole wrinkled her eyebrows. "We''re not very close anyway..."

She remembered that she had made her stance extremely clear and did not lead him on.
"We''re already friends, right?" yton did not know whether to cry orugh.
Nicole nodded. She misunderstood him.
"Then you can call me by my name."
The corner of yton’s lips curled up into a gentle arc. He yfully said her name, "Nicole."
Nicole raised her eyes to look at him and felt that he was being a little weird today, but she could not
pinpoint it.
His eyes were bright, gentle, and modest, and reflected Nicole''s figure.
At this moment, a trace of strange emotions crossed his eyes.
When Nicole was exploring what it might be, yton took a step forward and hugged her. His broad
shoulders and warm embrace stunned Nicole.
After she came to her senses, she frowned and intended to reach out and push him away, but yton
had already let go of her.
Nicole''s gaze grew cold because yton was overstepping his bounds.
"Mr. Sloan..."
yton curled his lips into a bitter and astringent smile.
"I''m sorry. I just feel really dejected that I''m not qualified to intervene even after Eric Ferguson treated
you that way. I admit that I was overwhelmed by jealousy, so you can hit and scold me if you want."
After crossing the line, yton had the grace to admit his mistake like a gentleman.
yton would never take something by force or deception.
Nicole wrinkled her eyebrows and was a little dumbfounded. For a moment, she did not know what t o
say.
Eric was certainly hateful, but seeing yton like this, Nicole did not know how to respond.
If she kept rejecting him, it would hurt his feelings, especially since they were inextricably linked with a
partnership involving all sorts of interests.
Looking at her torn expression, yton smiled and reached out to touch her hair, moving gently.
"I''m just making an excuse for my misconduct. Don''t get too tangled up."
Nicole breathed a sigh of relief and raised her eyes to look at him. "Mr. Sloan, don''t make such jokes in
the future."
Such tenderness was too easy to indulge in, and she did not need pampering right now.
yton raised an eyebrow and did not answer her words. Instead, he changed the topic.
"If you don’t wanna hit or scold me, I''ll get going."
He turned his head to the side and saw that his driver had arrived at the entrance of the Stanton
Mansion.
Nicole naturally saw it too.
"Have a good trip."
Nicole waved without hesitation and shed a perfunctory and polite smile.
ytonughed. ''She also wants me to hurry up and leave like Lil Michael?’
Looking at her, yton''s heart felt tickled.
Once again, he went up, cupped her face, and nted a light kiss on her bare white forehead.
