Chapter 1289 Meeting Evelyn

Nicole was taken aback by how abruptly Chloe changed the subject, but she nodded nonetheless. Afterward, the

two women strolled through upscale fashion stores, yet Nicole struggled to find anything she liked.

"Even though your baby bump isn't showing, you can still wear dresses. Why are you so insistent on loose-fitting

options for the waist? Dresses are designed to highlight your body's shape, not conceal it," Chloe reasoned,

emerging from another store while holding her hand. Then, she sighed inwardly. She cares about her pregnancy

too much. We could've bought a ton of dresses otherwise.

Nevertheless, Nicole remained resolute, unwilling to compromise. "No. I can't risk hurting the child, regardless of

whether or not my bump is visible," she asserted, tugging Chloe along through the mall, determined to find a dress

that suited her tastes.

Watching her unwavering commitment, Chloe wondered whether they had pushed Nicole too hard. We've just

raised her standards for her dress.

"Nicole? Is that you?"

Just as they were about to move on, a familiar voice sliced through the air, leaving Chloe with a frown. The voice

belonged to a woman who had recently caused a stir at the research center and had subsequently left with Nicole's

ex-husband.

Meanwhile, Nicole turned slowly, and her heart sank as she saw the scene before her. Evelyn stood there, holding

Colton's arm intimately, a baby boy cradled in the arms of a servant. It was a picture of a beautiful family, but the

sight wounded her heart.

"Fancy seeing you here, Nicole," Evelyn greeted gently, looking blissful.

After hearing this, Chloe was ready to whisk Nicole away from this unwanted encounter. However, she recognized

that Colton was still a sensitive topic for Nicole. Hence, she held back, realizing she couldn't confine Nicole to her

past forever.

As Nicole hesitated, her hand tenderly resting on her belly, she finally lifted her gaze and offered a serene smile.

"Same here, Miss Wrenn. I hope you'll find a dress you like," she replied, pointedly avoiding eye contact with the

man and treating him as a complete stranger.

On the other hand, his gaze was fixed on Nicole when he spotted her. He couldn't help but notice the affectionate

look she directed toward her belly.

"Shopping for a dress, I presume? Do I smell a happy occasion?" Evelyn adeptly redirected the conversation,

unwilling to let Nicole slip away so easily.

After hearing this, Chloe's fists clenched in frustration. She knew this wench was trying to stir up trouble. I hope this

reckless action of mine can help Nicole. If it fails, I'll avenge her.

Nicole paused, the unspoken words hanging in the air, but her hand was still on her belly.

Meanwhile, Colton's face darkened like a storm cloud, but he refrained from impulsive actions. He knew these

people were cunning, and any hasty response could wreak havoc on his company.

At this moment, Evelyn noticed something was different about Nicole. She pursed her lips and asked, "Do I sense

pregnancy, Nicole?"

Ultimately, Chloe's patience reached its limits upon hearing this. She just won't take a hint. Just has to stir up

trouble. Then, she smiled and replied sarcastically, "Almost three months pregnant. Happy, Miss Wrenn?" Her smile

carried an underlying threat that didn't go unnoticed, but this expression unsettled Evelyn.

"Why you…" An angry Evelyn pointed at Chloe, but she couldn't come up with any retort. She had no way to explain

herself, her intentions becoming transparent. She had hoped to unearth a reaction that Colton couldn't ignore, thus

prompting him to move on from Nicole.

On the other hand, Nicole was surprised by Chloe's biting sarcasm. She had never anticipated that Chloe, usually

composed and distant, would deliver such a cutting remark. In the past, this role was Roxanna's domain, and she

used to balance out Roxanna with her sharpness. However, Chloe had now seamlessly taken on both personas,

leaving Nicole surprised by the transformation.
