Chapter 291 Meeting Old Mr. Benedict

Fortunately, Colton did not linger on this topic any longer than necessary. Otherwise, Nicole would’ve died from

embarrassment.

The two walked side by side as he held onto Hayden and headed straight towards Benedict’s room.

The decorations in the spacious room were minimalistic, and an old man with gray hair was leaning against the

head of the bed with his eyes slightly closed, seeming to be resting.

At the sound of the door, the old man woke up and looked toward them.

He first saw Colton, followed by Hayden. Right then, his expressionless face changed into a happy one.

“Is this your son?” Although Benedict’s words were heavy, they did not carry any ill intentions.

“Yes, his name is Hayden. He is my son,” Colton admitted directly.

Then, Benedict’s eyes darted back and forth from Hayden before he finally nodded with satisfaction.

“Indeed. He looked just like you when you were a kid.”

Nicole stood quietly aside and did not know what to do. However, by the looks of it, it seemed like Benedict seemed

to like Hayden.

As Colton carried Hayden toward Benedict, Colton looked at Benedict and called out without any hesitation, “Great

Grandpa!”

Hayden’s innocent looks, coupled with how sweet he was, managed to coax Benedict into a delightful mood.

“Hello.”

Then, Colton carefully placed Hayden down on Benedict’s hospital bed. Benedict looked at the white and tender

baby in front of him and reached out to caress his cheek.

As he nodded while he stroked Hayden’s cheeks, he suddenly exclaimed, “You brat! How can you not tell me that

you have a child?!”

This made Colton smile warmly as he explained, “I’m telling you now, aren’t I? I will bring Hayden here more often

to see you if you like.”

“Of course, I’d like that. This is my great-grandson! Look at him. He’s adorable!” Benedict praised Hayden.

Once he was done admiring Hayden, he looked up at Nicole. The old man had been involved in the business world

for many decades, causing his glance toward Nicole to be rather probing.

But after a quick glance, he immediately withdrew his gaze and put on a calm and kind look. “You’re Nicole, right? I

heard Anna mentioning it before.”

As soon as Benedict acknowledged Nicole, she immediately greeted, “Hello, Old Mr. Benedict.”

Benedict nodded and continued to look at her with a smile on his face.

“I’ve heard about you. You used to be the chief designer of F&M Apparel. Later, I heard that you’ve worked with

Gardner Apparel and managed to achieve impeccable results. You seemed to be very capable.”

She quickly answered modestly when she heard his praise, “I’m just doing my job.”

Benedict was even more satisfied when he saw her humble appearance that lacked pretense.

“I’ve read quite a bit about you. You’re bold. I like that.”

Before he returned from abroad, he had read a lot about Nicole on the Internet. There were several rumors and

slanders that she had resolved, one by one. Nevertheless, she was a strong-minded and capable woman. Such a

woman was worthy of Colton!

Nicole was at a loss for words and managed to spit out a soft thank you before Olivia burst into the room.

As soon as she came in, her gaze fell onto Hayden, who was sitting on the head of the bed. Then, without saying a

word, she headed straight for him and yanked his tiny arm, pulling him directly to the ground.

Fortunately, the bed was not high. Otherwise, Hayden would definitely be injured by the fall.

Nicole’s heart tightened as she watched her son getting pulled down. She quickly trotted over, picked him up, and

asked nervously, “Hayden, are you okay?”

As soon as he saw her, his eyes blinked in disbelief then his mouth began to twitch before he started wailing.

His voice was loud as it echoed through the room.

Hayden’s cries were like stabs to Nicole’s heart. She held him in her arms as she began to examine him. “Hayden,

did you get hurt?

Benedict was just enjoying a conversation and was suddenly interrupted by Olivia, which upset him. “What are you

doing?!”
