Chapter 1066 Let’s Go Home I Want to Marry You So Badly

"In my opinion, it doesn't matter whether you have feelings for Wendy or not, that's beyond my control. But this time, we really need to investigate this matter. Beryl, look up Jerry's whereabouts. I don't care whether it's an empty syringe, Jerry is courting death the moment he dares to harm a hair on Wendy's head!" Colton stated coldly.

Beryl responded with a nod before he turned and left to do his job.

The laboratory managed to produce the report overnight upon Colton's request. After they received the report, Nicole gradually breathed a sigh of relief as she browsed through the data. Thank goodness that everything is normal. It's precisely like Wendy said. The syringe was empty.

As for Colton, he, too, breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the lab report. The murderous look on his face slowly vanished and was replaced by a faint smile. "I'm glad everything turned out fine. Go ahead and get ready. We will return to Goldwick tomorrow."

Since Nicole thought Colton wanted to stay abroad for a few more days, she was slightly surprised after she heard what he said. Still, once she regained her senses, she replied, "Okay."

…

News flash… 'A group of unknown individuals has attacked a foreign munitions base today. Their leader, Jerry, was injured and hogtied at the police station's front entrance. It is believed that this is, by far, a case with the largest amount of money and drugs that our municipal police force has ever solved!'

At present, all news channels were reporting about Jerry's arrest, be it domestic or international.

Nicole had a clear view in her mind the moment she saw the news. It's probably Colton's doing. After all, only he can pull off such a slick move. Then again, Jerry insisted on carrying out his plan, and he even went as far as to harm Wendy by giving her an injection. Right now, he is merely reaping what he sows. Frankly, it serves him right for ending up in the police station with his hands cuffed. Nevertheless, judging from Jerry's identity, I suppose he will be spending his whole life in prison.

After she saw the news, she turned to Colton and asked with a smile, "Why didn't you solve this matter earlier since you have such great capability?"

Colton merely raised his eyes and replied calmly, "There is a degree of restraint when making certain in this industry. Even if I defeat Jerry, others will pop out during the power vacuum. So, I generally wouldn't provoke these people as long as they don't move against me."

In other words, Colton only chose to take action against Jerry now because he dared to challenge him.

Nicole nodded upon hearing his logic. In her heart, she felt Jerry had a stroke of hard luck. Jerry really is asking for trouble, isn't he? Well, this is the price he pays for daring to lay his fingers on Wendy without having an insight into Colton's identity for the sake of a woman.

"Wendy's health is fine now. So, you can rest easy," Nicole gradually parted her lips and comforted softly after she saw Colton constantly putting on a gloomy expression for the past two days.

Colton simply raised his chin as he placed his slender fingertip on Nicole's chin and slowly caressed it.

This caused Nicole to feel a little shy. She looked away slightly, trying to dodge his touch. Alas, Colton's reflex was faster. So, he lowered his head and kissed her lips without further ado.

Nicole widened her eyes in shock as she looked at the man in front of her in slight disbelief. As for Colton, he took advantage of the situation to pry open her lips in order to deepen the kiss.

Colton smirked slightly as he affectionately gazed at the woman, who was blushing under his touch. Then, he pressed his forehead against hers and uttered softly, "Let's go home. I want to marry you so badly that I refuse to wait even for a minute longer."

Nicole was so shocked by Colton's confession that her heart skipped a beat. She clutched her hands nervously as she gulped before saying with a slight nod, "Okay."

Their stay abroad was short, for they caught a flight home at noon the next day.

After Wendy was informed that her body was fine, she resumed her vivacious state. As soon as she arrived home, she threw herself into Anna's arms and exclaimed, "Mom! I missed you."

Anna was a little surprised when she saw Wendy returning home so soon. Regardless, there was an unmistakable gleam of joy in her eyes as she held Wendy and asked, "Why are you home so earlier? Didn't you say you wanted to spend a few more days abroad?"

Wendy pouted as she pointed at Colton and whined, "I happened to bump into Colton and Nicole while they were on their honeymoon. They told me you missed me. So, they dragged me back with them."
