Chapter 1356 Deliberate Affection
Seeing Colton look back, Kendrick purposely took off his suit jacket and draped it around Nicole's shoulders. "Nicole,
are you feeling cold? Let me put something on you," he said. If you can't let go, I'll force you to let go. Colton, I'll
never let you off for what happened between the Gardners and the Hofsteads back then.
Colton's pupils shrank at the sight of this. He froze for a moment, not daring to look back. In the end, he could only
stride off.
Startled, Nicole casually removed the suit jacket from her shoulders and returned it to Kendrick. "Sorry, Mr.
Hofstead, but I don't need this," she replied before taking Chloe by the hand and leaving. She didn't know what
Kendrick's intentions were, but she was now pregnant with Colton's child. Even if he wouldn't forgive her, she
wouldn't seek solace in another man.
Kendrick smiled helplessly while watching her stubborn figure. Nicole, when will you accept me?
On the other hand, Wendy returned to their private room. Just when she gathered her belongings and prepared to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtleave, she saw Colton come back with a sullen expression. After swinging his suit jacket over his shoulder, he turned
around and left.
Watching him storm off in a fit of rage, she was perplexed. What's going on this time? Curling her lips in resignation,
she picked up her bag and caught up to him.
Colton walked ahead alone. He didn't know what to do anymore; every time he saw Nicole with another man, he
felt trapped in a whirlwind of emotions that he couldn't escape from. What on earth should I do? I know full well
that the baby in her womb belongs to Zachary.
"Slow down, Colton!" shouted Wendy helplessly. She tried to catch up to him from behind, but she couldn't close the
distance between them no matter how hard she tried.
However, Colton acted as though he hadn't heard her at all. He kept walking ahead, completely oblivious to her
calls from behind.
Wendy stopped in her tracks to catch her breath before looking at Colton with a sigh. He's probably upset again
because of Nicole. After she managed to catch her breath, she broke into a trot, feeling relieved that she wasn't
wearing high heels.
Meanwhile, Nicole was walking alongside Chloe on the street after dragging her out of the clubhouse.
"Nicole, maybe we should keep our distance from Kendrick from now on," said Chloe with a deep frown.
Something's very wrong with his behavior today. As soon as Colton wanted to leave, he draped his suit jacket over
Nicole's shoulders. It's not hard to figure out his intentions.
Nicole nodded. "I know, but he's our business partner now. To put it in a certain way, we can't keep a clear distance
from him yet." She had also noticed Kendrick's odd behavior, but there were a lot of issues that they had to work
together on. This was a troublesome situation.
"Uh-huh." Chloe nodded. "About Colton today…" She tried to bring up the subject of Colton, wanting to know what
Nicole was up to.
Nicole froze for a moment. "It's fine." For some reason, whenever she saw Colton, she felt a mix of fear and
nervousness. There were many times when she wanted to talk to him about the baby, but the words never seemed
to come out. "Never mind. Let's forget about it," she said, not wanting to discuss this anymore.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChloe shut up and followed behind her in silence.
After returning to the hotel, Colton passed the things he had bought from the clubhouse to Wendy and shut himself
in his hotel room.
Wendy stood outside with the takeout in her hand while looking at the closed door with concern. What on earth am I
supposed to do?
The room was so dark that it was impossible to see anything. Colton stared at the records and photos from the
past, in which Nicole used to smile so sweetly. But now, she was no longer with him.
"Hey, are you ignoring me?" Beryl walked over from the side with a tablet in hand, the light of which illuminated
Colton's face.
Colton looked at him, who was wearing a half-smile. "Why are you here?" he asked in a hoarse voice, smirking.
Only then did Beryl notice the ghastly pallor of his face. "Why do you look like you're at death's door?" he asked with
a frown, though he never expected to see Colton in such a state.
"Cut to the chase." Colton frowned in displeasure. He wasn't in a good mood and didn't want to waste time talking
to Beryl.
Beryl handed his tablet to him. "Here are the relevant details."
