Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 1353

Chapter 1353 Last Resort

Just when Nicole was engaging in the conversation with everyone, silence suddenly descended upon the room.

Sensing someone's presence, she turned her head and saw Kendrick standing at the door, who smiled at her. He said, "Miss Anderson, we've placed the orders. The dishes will be served in a moment."

Nicole nodded slightly with a faint smile, but there was an air of distance in her demeanor. "Thank you, Mr. Hofstead."

Kendrick was startled, unsure as to why Nicole suddenly became so formal with him. Our relationship has been improving over the past couple of days, no? Why did it go back to the beginning right after she saw Colton? This isn't the outcome I wanted. It's all because of him!

His expression darkened. Watching her chat and laugh with the researchers, he felt deeply upset. At the same time, his resentment toward Colton grew. Don't worry, Nicole. I'll speed things up and get rid of Colton sooner. As for your baby, I'll raise them as my own, making sure that you two won't suffer the slightest bit of indignity.

Nicole had been talking about the subject of drinking with the researchers. She wanted to ask for Kendrick's opinion, but she didn't expect to see him lost in thought with a grim expression. She had no choice but to raise her voice while calling out his name. "Mr. Hofstead?"

Only then did Kendrick snap out of his thoughts. He looked at her with a flicker of panic in his eyes, asking, "What's wrong?" He had been preoccupied with pondering how to speed things up and get rid of Colton, so he hadn't heard what Nicole and others had been talking about. Hopefully she didn't notice anything wrong with me.
