Chapter 1347 Snitching

Colton knitted his brows, and the atmosphere between them turned heavy in an instant. "Just do what I say, or I'll

send you back home," he replied in an icy voice. This wasn't a negotiation, but an order.

Sensing the underlying anger in his words, Wendy quickly promised, "Okay, I got it. I won't go anywhere." Well, I can

get in touch with Nicole through a certain app, so it's not like we have to meet in person to pass on the clues. At the

thought of this, she began feeling pleased with herself. After all, this secret was shared only between her and

Nicole. It wasn't her fault that Colton hardly ever allowed them to spend extended periods of time together as if she

were some kind of man-eating monster.

Colton sensed a mysterious gaze fixed upon him, and when he looked over, he saw her grinning slyly. "Why are you

grinning at me like that?" he asked with a slight frown.

Only then did Wendy snap out of her thoughts. Seeing his disgusted expression, she pouted her lips in displeasure,

muttering, "Can't I even smile at you? What a meanie!"

Colton heard every word she muttered, but he didn't have time to dwell on what she meant. He stood up, preparing

to leave.

His movements were quite exaggerated, and Wendy was keeping a close eye on his every move. All of a sudden,

she recalled the task Nicole had given her. Immediately, she stopped him by grabbing his arm, asking, "Hold on a

second, Colton! Didn't you say you were supposed to head to Monterey before we got on the plane? When are we

going to make that trip?"

At hearing this, Colton turned back and stared at her darkly without saying a word.

Seeing him staring at her without saying anything, Wendy panicked deep down. "W-What's wrong?" she said,

stumbling over her words. Then, she added, "I'm just worried about you. I mean, I saw that look on your face while

we were on the plane."

Colton shook his head. "Mm-mm, we're staying here. Everything's fine, so don't worry. If you want to go

somewhere, just let me know. We'll go together," he said before leaving Wendy's place right away. I probably got it

wrong. Wendy's all grown up now, so it's normal for her to show concern for others. And besides, why would that

woman get her to care about me? If she had news of that woman, she wouldn't have held back for so long without

showing any sign of it either.

Wendy watched him leave without ever taking her eyes off him. "Phew! I guess I made it through that one."

Breathing a sigh of relief, she slumped onto the sofa and looked at her phone on the table. Just then, she seemed to

hit upon something and quickly picked up the phone. Gotta tell Nicole about Colton's strange behavior today.

Perhaps she'll figure something out.

Meanwhile, at a certain meat fondue restaurant…

"This feels so much better. The other day's dinner with Mr. Hofstead was a real nightmare," said Chloe. For the first

time, she was so relaxed in front of Nicole that even Roxanna's catchphrase slipped out of her mouth so effortlessly.

Nicole nodded in agreement with her comment. Indeed, dining with that Kendrick guy required them to be on their

best behavior the whole time, so they were never able to relax. Although the food there was delicious, the

formalities were a maze to navigate. A meat fondue would be more inexpensive with no need to worry about

appearances.

Beep! Just then, the phone on the table rang and vibrated simultaneously.

Nicole glanced down at it. Seeing that it was a message from Wendy, she instantly put down her cutlery and picked

up her phone, eager to read the message Wendy had sent her. Whatever the message was about, it had to be

related to Colton, so she wanted to know the details as soon as possible.

Watching her anxious demeanor, Chloe figured out at once that it must be a message from Wendy. After all, who

else's messages could get Nicole so worked up? No one else in the world could do so, I guess. After shaking her

head in resignation, she continued eating with her head down.
