The smile on Evelyn's face froze instantly. The words of the woman before her felt like a public slap, leaving her wondering how to keep her dignity.
Anyone who could freely move about here undoubtedly belonged to Nicole's circle. Evelyn hated Nicole with a passion!
Upon seeing Chloe's arrival, Colton realized the distance between himself and Evelyn. He quickly shifted to the side to maintain a distance from her.
Evelyn hadn't recovered from the previous incident when she sensed Colton avoiding her as if she were the plague. Her face turned grim and she was suddenly unable to decide whether to sit or move.
"Nicole." Colton gazed at Nicole, who had just entered the room, with affection. He slowly rose from his seat and reached out, trying to hold her hand.
Evelyn glared at Nicole. When Colton was about to approach Nicole, Evelyn clenched her teeth and grabbed his arm. "Colton, it's better if you stay seated. Nicole might feel pressured otherwise."
His face darkened. He quickly withdrew his hand and wiped his sleeve as if he had touched something filthy.
It was impossible for Evelyn to miss this gesture from Colton. However, she refrained from getting angry because she noticed that Nicole was watching them. After all, getting angry would surely be fodder for Nicole's amusement.
Nicole paid no attention to Evelyn's gaze and actions. She focused entirely on Colton.
Even though he had taken great care with his appearance, she could tell that he hadn't been doing well during the time they had been apart. There was stubble remaining on his jaw.
"I asked you to come today so that you can sign the divorce agreement." She placed the document in her hand on the table in front of him. Her tone was indifferent, devoid of any warmth.
Colton sat there in a daze. Then, he lowered his gaze to the divorce agreement—it was identical to yesterday's copy since it bore numerous creases, all of which he had created.
"What?" he asked.
"Divorce. I've made myself clear." Nicole impatiently spoke, repeating the matter of divorce. "I can't accept the fact that Evelyn is pregnant with your child. We must get divorced. Can't you understand, Colton?"
