Chapter 1073 Approval From Benedict

After saying that, Colton felt Nicole's belly with his hand, and a different light danced in his eyes. Inching closer to

her, he said in a deep, affectionate voice, "Nicole, when are you giving me a daughter?"

All of a sudden, Nicole's face turned bright red. Her fair skin immediately turned scarlet, and she looked like an

overripe tomato. Reaching out, she removed his palm, rolled out of the bed, and croaked, "Stop fooling around. I'm

going to check on Hayden." After saying that, she quickly scurried away.

It felt a little odd to him that his arms were now empty after feeling the warmth from earlier, and he smirked

without another word while watching Nicole, who was already in the bathroom.

In the next three days, they were almost inseparable. Colton basked himself in her company and almost didn't show

up at the office, only using the computer for a few online conferences occasionally.

Seeing how bored he was, Nicole couldn't help but ask, "Is it okay for you to be away from the company for such a

long time?" Including the time he was abroad, it had been about two weeks since she last saw him going to the

company.

Looking into her eyes, he grinned and asked, "Why? Are you afraid that I'll become bankrupt and can't afford to

support you two?"

Raising her brows, Nicole held his chin and said in amusement, "I'm rich. If you really become bankrupt, you can

count on me and I'll promise you a comfortable life."

Colton knew that this woman wasn't kidding. Previously, he already checked and found out that she had gathered

quite a few assets over the years and was almost at par with him. Looks like she has a high earning power, he

thought. "Okay, I would like to rely on my wife for support, then," he said in a flirtatious tone without any shame,

approaching her.

While they were flirting with each other, someone cleared his throat behind them. Like a startled rabbit, Nicole

jumped out of Colton's arms and they turned their heads to find Benedict behind them.

After that operation, Benedict's health improved greatly, and even though he still needed a walking stick to move

around, he seemed more energetic and full of life. Narrowing his eyes, he said solemnly, "Get a room if you want to

make out during the day."

Seeing how serious Benedict was, Colton answered with a straight face, "I got it, Grandpa. We're going into our

room now."

Benedict threw him an annoyed glare and turned to Nicole. An odd look flashed in his eyes, and after a while, he

began slowly, "Nicole, there's something I would like to tell you. Are you… free?" He was cautious, as though he was

worried that she would turn him down.

Nicole knew that he was still worried about what happened in the past, and it was undeniable that things were quite

bad after what happened with William. Smiling, she nodded. "Okay."

Standing in the same spot, Colton didn't stop her and watched as she walked away with Benedict into the courtyard.

Although it was a little chilly today, there was some sun in the morning and it didn't feel that cold to be outside in

just a long-sleeved top.

Next to Benedict, Nicole lowered her head quietly and stood there obediently. After some time, he slowly said,

"Nicole, your wedding is drawing close, but I have nothing for you." As he spoke, he took out a red leather box from

his pocket. Shoving it into her hands, he continued, "This is something from the Gardner Family. Take it and use it."

Looking at the box in her hand, she opened it a little and saw that a red gemstone the size of a pigeon egg was

resting inside.
