Chapter 524 An Explanation

Nicole’s heart ached when she saw Zachary in this state. He was an outstanding man; she knew he loved her and

did everything for her. However, she was not in love with him, so she couldn’t get her words out of her words when

she looked at his hurt expression.

Seeing that she had hesitated, Zachary was unwilling to accept this. Then, he quickly walked toward her and

covered her with his figure. Before Nicole could react, he leaned down and kissed her.

The kiss wasn’t domineering like Colton, but it was filled with his love and even a slight wave of temptation. When

Zachary kissed her, she stiffened and pushed him gently. Then, Zachary stood back.

He was hurt that Nicole had pushed him away, pursing his lips only to end up looking wretched. After a while, he

asked, “Did you refuse me because I’m not him, Nicole?”

When he was under the shade of the tree, he saw clearly that Nicole didn’t fight back when Colton kissed her and

was even happy that he did. Their kiss was filled with passion and mutual affection. When I kissed her, she couldn’t

do it.

At that moment, he felt that things had changed since he went abroad, realizing that the girl he loved was slowly

slipping through his fingers. In the past years, he had never felt intimidated by other men, thinking he was the only

remarkable man besides Nicole. However, Colton’s existence threatened him. She’s getting further away from me

by the day.

While Zachary was in thought, Nicole’s throat felt dry. She couldn’t deny the fact that she enjoyed it when Colton

kissed her, but she didn’t feel anything when it was Zachary. “Why don’t we go inside and talk about it, Zach?”

Nicole stood on her ground, not knowing how to explain it to him.

Zachary lowered his eyes and nodded before they entered the house. When Hayden was watching a movie, he

heard the door opening and thought that it was Nicole. So, he raised his voice, “Mommy, how did it go with Daddy?”

He turned around in excitement and noticed that Zachary was behind Nicole. At that moment, his expression

stiffened. After a moment, he twitched his lips and said, “Mr. Yates.”

However, Zachary was not deaf and had heard what Hayden said when he entered the door. He walked toward

Hayden and asked, “Hayden, did you just say daddy?”

Hearing his words, Hayden blinked and acted dumb. “No, I didn’t. You must be hearing things, Mr. Yates.”

Seeing that he was unwilling to say anything about it, Zachary fell silent but didn’t force him in the end. He ruffled

Hayden’s hair and whispered, “I have something to say to your mommy, Hayden. Why don’t you go back to your

room? It’s getting late.”

When Hayden heard his words, he nodded obediently and darted up the stairs. By then, there were only the two of

them in the spacious room. As Zachary sat on the sofa, Nicole sat in front of him.

Silence emitted between them before Nicole broke it. “Hayden’s father is Colton,” she said.

Although Zachary sustained his composure and didn’t act surprised, his knuckles that were gripping tightly had

exposed his emotions. After a moment, he asked, “Are you going to let Hayden accept him?”
