Chapter 861

Nicole then drove herself to Colton's house.

His house was in the city, which was a villa close to his company. Though Nicole had been there, the thought of her

being alone with Colton made her feel rather awkward.

Looking at the magnificent villa in front of her, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, What's the point of buying

such a large villa when he's staying alone?

Despite her inner musings, she obediently walked in.

The main door was unlocked, and a small side door was open, as if ready for her to enter. She then pushed open

the door and entered. After passing through a small garden in the yard, she reached the inner door.

This door wasn't locked either and Nicole could open it with just a simple push. Behind the door was a large living

room, which she scanned but found no one in.

Just as she was about to pull out her phone and call Colton, he appeared by the staircase.

He appeared to have just gotten out of the bath as he was dressed casually in a dark blue robe that was slightly

open, exposing his well-built muscles.

The straps on his waist appeared to be about to fall off as well, causing Nicole to be unable to take her eyes off

them.

With her brows furrowed, she quickly averted her gaze and said coldly, "President Gardner, perhaps you should

dress properly before we have a serious talk."

Colton, on the other hand, chuckled at Nicole's shy demeanor. With his hand on the railing, he lightly tapped his

slender fingers and said, "I'm in my own home and I'm free to wear whatever I want. Furthermore, haven't you

seen everything before?"

His tone was teasing, and he even raised his brows and looked at Nicole while speaking.

I have to put up with this! Nicole told herself. With that, she put on a half-hearted smile and responded, "Sure.

Please come down then, President Gardner."

Colton drew his hand back and touched his chin as he murmured in an annoying tone, "I just took my bath and

don't want to go downstairs. Come to my room if you want to talk about anything."

Nicole truly found his frivolous tone irritating.

With a grim expression, she clenched her fists and raised her head to look at him as she growled, "President

Gardner, I am not joking around with you!"

"Neither am I," Colton replied softly, his smile still intact.

He then turned around and walked upstairs, saying, "You know where my room is. I'll only be waiting for you for five

minutes. After that, I'm going to bed and I won't talk to you then."

Nicole knew Colton was playing a trick on her when he left without hesitation, but she had no choice but to oblige.

She wouldn't be at ease unless she talked about Hayden's matter with Colton.

With this in mind, she pursed her lips and started to ascend the stairs.

The large staircase was made of solid wood and had a brightly painted surface. Even though she was wearing flat

shoes, a crisp sound echoed when she stepped on them.

Nicole took a deep breath. Bracing herself, she continued walking.

Colton's room was on the second floor. As Nicole looked at the reddish-brown wooden door of his room, she

suddenly felt empty deep down for reasons unknown.

She gulped and stared nervously at the door as if mentally preparing herself to enter. After a long while, she

plucked up her courage and lightly knocked on the door.

A hoarse voice resonated from the other side of the door. "The door is not locked. Just come in."

Nicole's body tensed when she heard that. However, she didn't say anything more and immediately pushed open

the door to enter.

The moment she opened the door, a gray-toned room greeted her. Colton was sitting on a couch in the room,

holding his phone with his head lowered, as if he was looking at something.

When he noticed Nicole in the room, he took his gaze away from his phone and raised his head.

He then kept his phone away and, with his gaze fixed on Nicole, asked smilingly, "What do you want to talk about?

Shoot."

Nicole pursed her lips and stared right back at Colton, who was half-lying on the couch, and said calmly, "It is about

your marriage with Evelyn."
